Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Just as Lin Li turned around, the dark-red shadow sprung on hiush of foul wind like a horde of ferocious wolves

It was fortunate that Lin Li had been living in Andoine’s log cabin for h he had only learnt ten low-level spells, he was far e

Lin Li pulled back before the red shadow ca Spell in haste

After unleashi+ng the Delaying Spell, he quickly recited the Illuic spell used for lighting released an extraordinary power in this dark and dae beast was badly wounded

Lin Li took advantage of this opportunity and retreated another dozen steps In the blink of an eye, the distance between them had been drawn to a safe one

Only then did Lin Li have the chance to see the appearance of the monster that had attacked him from behind

It was a dark-red lion with a tail that was e lion’s The tail had an inverted hook at the end, giving off a faint blue shi+ Spell Lin Li could see clearly that it had attacked neither with its claws nor teeth a while ago, but instead swooped in on him with the inverted hook on its tail

Even if Lin Li had been blind, at this moment, it would still have been clear to hiical beast that Andoine had mentioned!

“Old bastard Andoine…” Lin Li cursed between clenched teeth, paying greetings to all eighteen generations of Andoine’s family in his heart How irresponsible of the old fellow, sending hi any idea whether there were any Manticores inside

Lin Li was constantly struggling to keep up a Spell was used alternately with the Hastening Spell, allowing Lin Li to escape froain

He seemed a little clumsy with this But Lin Li knew that all he needed was a chance A chance for hi before he finally got his chance

He’d even exposed himself to the claws of the Manticore for this opportunity

It was because he knew very well that theabout the Manticore was not its claws, but the inverted hook at the end of its tail

After unleashi+ng another Delaying Spell, Lin Li suddenly broke his stride He did not turn and run after unleashi+ng the Delaying Spell like how he did before This tie verses of spells poured out of his ht in front of him

There was a thick smell of blood carried by the Manticore’s roar

Lin Li could even sense the chill of its claws…
