Chapter 31 Death of the Flame Lion, Origin of Precision Spells

“Sorry, I’m a little late.”

Reiter sat on the back of Ash and gradually came to Tucker’s side. His tone was casual, but in fact, Reiter was carefully sizing up Tucker, his gaze not missing a single detail. After checking carefully, he heaved a sigh of relief. As expected, there were no serious problems.

In fact, by the time he arrived, Tucker had already started fighting the Flame Lion.

The battle happened very quickly. As soon as he arrived, he saw the scene of the Flame Lion spitting flames. If he had attacked at that time, he would have been able to kill it in one strike earlier.

However, he sensed a hint of the combat technique he had practiced yesterday from Tucker. The familiar feeling made him want to wait and see.

The line between life and death was the easiest opportunity to gain enlightenment and break through. However, this opportunity did not come every time between life and death. Since the opportunity came, he couldn’t bear to ruin Tucker’s plan.

In the past, he had killed many enemies on the battlefield. Having experienced hundreds of battles, he was definitely quite proficient in combat experience, casting accuracy, and technique. Therefore, he was confident that he could stop in time and end the Flame Lion’s life at any time.

Moreover, he also believed in the effect of Tucker and that Combat Technique. They were both at Grade One. The difference between the middle and late stages wouldn’t cause Tucker to lose his life so quickly.

Seeing that Tucker was fine, Reiter looked at the Flame Lion that had been sent flying three to four meters before being pierced by the Earth Thrust and hanging on the ground in a miserable manner.

“Eh? It seems that if I don’t make a move, the Flame Lion will also die in your hands.” Reiter looked at the Flame Lion three meters away, whose face was badly mutilated. Then, he looked at Tucker again in surprise, who was panting heavily.

There was no doubt that Tucker’s last smash had worked wonders.

Although it did not smash the entire head of the Flame Lion, it had at least caused serious damage and taken half of the Flame Lion’s life. Therefore, Reiter judged that even if he did not rush over later, Tucker’s life would definitely not be in danger.

“Father, don’t say that. It might be possible, but lions in desperate straits are not to be trifled with. If we continue fighting, I’ll most likely be seriously injured.” Tucker patted his chest and recalled the short and dangerous battle just now. He could not help but feel afraid. “Hiss.”

Tucker finished his sentence, then frowned, his expression vaguely pained. He touched his left arm with his right hand and gently pressed it down. He felt that his left arm was rather uncomfortable. It seemed that when he raised his shield to collide with the Flame Lion just now, the powerful impact had also caused some damage to his left arm.

It was not a fracture, but the faint pain in his joints made him afraid to move too much. “Father, my left arm seems to be injured. I need a bottle of Solidifying Potion.” Tucker looked at his father and asked for help.

Staring at Tucker’s arm, Reiter dug into his jacket. “There, take it!”

“Thank you, Father. Your last spell just now was superb. It was simply perfect! It pierced through the heart with a single strike and didn’t give it a way out at all!” Tucker chuckled and happily took the Solidifying Potion.

The danger had been resolved, and he was now relaxed.

Reiter raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was only natural. Although the Earth Thrust was a basic spell, if it was used properly to catch the enemy’s slackness, then the precise stab from the ground would be a strong threat and lethality to most creatures on the ground! On the other hand, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and had used the Earth Thrust more than tens of thousands of times. There were also a few times when he fought in the extreme realm of life and death. The slight improvement brought about by the long period of cruel environment allowed him to have the ability to stab wherever he pointed.

Ordinary mages, without special training and long-term oppressive training, would not have a higher chance of hitting the heart of the fast-moving target even though they had stabbed Flame Lion.

Even if it missed by an inch, it was equivalent to not hitting a vital point. The effect was also very different. Those who were seriously injured could counterattack. Only when he was dead would he lie down quietly.

If it was on the battlefield, in a desperate situation, it might be the result of not killing the enemy but being killed by the enemy.

Tap, tap, tap.

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

The sound of horse hooves mixed with the sound of rolling wheels and the galloping of knights quickly approached. In just two minutes, the people behind caught up. “What happened? Father, Big Brother, why did you stop? Oh my god, you just killed a Flame Lion?” Rylei dismounted from his horse and quickly walked to his father and big brother’s side. When he found the Flame Lion’s corpse, his eyes were filled with surprise.

The Flame Lion was considered a powerful magical beast among its peers. It had outstanding speed and strength, as well as vicious hunting techniques.

It had teeth, sharp claws, limbs, body impact, tail attack, and many other attack points. It could also spit flames and was almost omnipotent. It was an unquestionably strong threat to both knights and mages.

With this thought in mind, Rylei glanced at his father, then patted his chest and heaved a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, Father followed us quickly and dealt with this magical beast in time. Otherwise, Big Brother would definitely be in danger.”

In his opinion, even if his big brother’s physique was outstanding and he had a certain advantage against knights of the same level, the outcome would definitely be disastrous against the Flame Lion.

Although Rylei was right, his unwillingness to admit defeat still made Tucker want to defend himself. At this moment, Rylei let out another “huh”. Just now, he was only worried about his big brother and was attracted by the Earth Thrust that had pierced its heart. After taking a look at the environment, he noticed that the Flame Lion’s face was badly mutilated. It was obvious that it had suffered blunt damage. This did not seem like the method of a mage. There was clearly no second knight here just now. He looked at Tucker and asked in surprise, “You did this?”

“Yeah! You just found out?” Tucker raised his chin and felt comfortable. He unscrewed the bottle of Solidifying Potion and swallowed half a bottle in one gulp. His injuries were not serious. Half a bottle was enough. Noticing that his brother’s left arm was moving uncomfortably, Rylei nodded. A look of realization flashed across his eyes as he roughly understood some things. “Alright, what a miracle!”

Tucker’s face fell again. Can’t you give me a proper compliment?

Rylei smiled, clapped his hands, and shouted to the back, “Men, put the corpse of the Flame Lion on the empty truck.”

The corpses of magical beasts were very valuable, especially the magic crystals in their bodies. They were the most precious parts of the body.

It could be processed into the essence of various elements by alchemy methods, and it could also be used in the field of alchemy equipment. High-level magic crystals could even be used as the elemental core of a magic wand.

All kinds of accidents could happen on the way, so the carriages carrying the goods of the caravan would leave two empty carriages specially for emergencies before they set off. “Father, should we search inside and see if there are any cubs of the Flame Lion? Or other magical beasts?” Rylei walked around the nearby land twice and suggested.

Without a vision of the future, this decision makes sense.

Therefore, Reiter couldn’t find a suitable reason to refuse, so he nodded lightly.

“Sure, but you guys have to guard here. I’ll go inside myself. After all, I can sense more range and details to save time.” Reiter thought for a moment and said.
