Chapter 27

It seemed like there was a thunderstorm.

A terrifying pressure surrounded them.

As the lightning struck, the area where Diana and her sister were at was cleared of magical beasts.

The ground was covered with charred corpses.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Diana was stunned. However, she knew that a two-star mage had arrived.

The two sisters were saved.

Diana looked into the distance and saw the huge dark swarm of Bloodthirsty Ants.

A figure slowly walked over.

An area around him was illuminated by the lightning that swirled around his body.

Every now and then, the lightning around his body would shoot out in all directions. Wherever it passed, a large number of Bloodthirsty Ants would die.

“It’s him!”

When Diana finally saw the person’s face clearly, she stared at him.

“Karl!”

Behind her, Elena also looked toward the person who had come. She was pleasantly surprised.

She never expected it to be Karl.

When they were desperate, the patrol team did not come to save them, but Karl did.

Karl had killed magical beasts all along the way and happened to end up here.

As soon as he arrived, he saw the two sisters surrounded by attacking Bloodthirsty Ants.

Even though he didn’t like Diana, Elena was his friend.

He had to save her.

The Bloodthirsty Ants that had cornered the sisters were no match for Karl at all.

After all, he was now a two-star mage.

He just had to wave his hand to release magic spells that would kill large numbers of Bloodthirsty Ants.

In less than ten seconds, only a few dozen of the hundreds of Bloodthirsty Ants remained.

The remaining Bloodthirsty Ants looked at Karl in fear.

She no longer dared to attack him.

Not only did he not dare to attack, he even retreated step by step. Then, he turned around and ran.

Bloodthirsty Ants would only besiege prey who were of a similar level.

Karl was an entire rank above theirs.

They would not stay here. They were bound to die.

“Trying to escape?”

Karl wouldn’t give them a chance to escape.

With a casual wave of his hand, he killed all of the Bloodthirsty Ants.

He stopped in front of the two sisters and was about to speak when his gaze suddenly froze and subconsciously moved downwards.

His gaze swept over Diana’s thighs and settled on her barely covered underwear.

“You!”

Diana reacted.

Her face turned beet red. She felt as if Karl had stroked her thigh and his touch warmed her flesh.

She hurriedly covered it with her hands.

“Not bad. Very white.”

Karl smiled and looked away.

No matter what, looking at Diana’s pathetic state made him feel good.

“Thank you, Karl. Otherwise, my sister and I would be in danger today.”

Elena approached Carl and spoke to him.

Her face was still a little pale. After all, the situation just now had frightened her quite badly.

She thought that the two of them were going to die here.

“It’s all right now.”

Looking at the pale and frightened Elena, Karl’s heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously raised his hand to pat her head.

But the moment he touched her head, he remembered that her sister was still here.

It didn’t seem right to do that in front of her sister.

Instead, he rubbed his nose and put his hand down.

Elena saw that Karl was acting strangely but did not understand what was going on.

She then realized that he seemed to have touched her head just now.

At this thought, Elena blushed and lowered her head.

Diana took out a piece of clothing and tied it around her waist to cover her exposed skin.

Her face was still a little red.

But at the same time, her heart was thundering.

“You’re already a two-star mage. How is that possible?”

Diana had noticed his rank because she had seen his attack and her rank was close to his.

Two-star mage!

She had been training almost every day, and she had only just broken through to the advanced stage of a one-star mage today.

Originally, she had wanted to go back and challenge Karl to a fight.

But now that she saw Karl’s rank, she felt sick.

When they met a few days ago, he was only an advanced one-star mage. How many days had it been? Had he leveled up again?

Was leveling up for him as easy as eating and drinking?

Diana was deeply shaken.

“I saved you, and the first thing you do is question me?”

Karl looked at her a little angrily.

Diana choked and her voice caught.

“Sister.”

Elena glared at Diana, warning her to be nice.

Then, seeing that Karl was covered in blood, she could not help but ask, “Karl, have you been fighting all day? Are you injured?”

As she spoke, Elena took out a bottle of healing potion from her pocket.

“I’m not injured. This blood belongs to the magical beasts.”

Karl shook his head, indicating that he was fine. “I’m leaving. Are you guys staying here?”

“It’s getting dark. Once it gets dark, Level Three magical beasts might appear here. Also, visibility is low when it gets dark. We’re leaving too.”

Elena smiled.

Karl nodded. Then, he looked at Elena and said, “You seem to have consumed a lot of your spiritual energy. Restore it. Then, we’ll go back.”

“Yeah, okay.”

Elena nodded and took out her magic crystal to recover her spiritual energy.

Diana looked at Karl angrily and sat on the ground. She too used her magical crystal to recover her spiritual energy.

Ten minutes later, the sisters’ spiritual energies were almost fully recovered.

The three of them started walking back.

They were about fifty miles from the base.

There was still a long way to go.

Ten minutes later.

Boom!

The ground suddenly shook.

The moment he felt the earth tremble, Karl sensed danger and shouted, “Retreat!”

The three of them quickly retreated tens of meters.

At this moment, the ground where they were previously standing began to bulge upwards.

A gigantic magical beast broke out from the ground.

This magical beast was about ten meters tall and had a long tail.

Its entire body was covered in scales and it had a pair of red eyes that stared coldly at the three of them.

“It’s a Mountain Tunneling Beast, a Level Three magical beast. According to mage rankings, it is a beginner stage Level Three magical beast with extremely strong defense!”
