Chapter 393 The hero always appears at the last moment
Dorothy's condition at this time was definitely not good.
There were many holes in the luxurious skirt, revealing some white skin, but more of them were wounds that had already turned into blood clots.
The long-distance running caused her brain to start to lack oxygen. The wound, which should have healed long ago, was unable to recover and kept repeating the cycle of cracking and scabbing.
She was poisoned, and with more than one toxin.
The magic power in the body has become dormant and has lost its former activity. Every time the magic power is mobilized, it requires a great deal of energy, which is almost impossible to accomplish during the current period of escape.
The wounds on her body could not heal. There was some kind of poison or curse that was suppressing Dorothy's recovery ability.
As the blood loss continued, the brain consciousness began to blur and the physical strength began to decline.
But Dorothy couldn't stop. When there were still pursuers behind her, any action of stopping would be an invitation for the other party to clean up the mess.
"... "
Silently wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, she was too lazy to guess what injury caused the bleeding.
Dorothy quickly observed the surrounding environment. She was not familiar with the environment of the Kingdom of Bezeko. She fled here because she suddenly realized something was wrong and escaped while she still had the strength.
As a star wizard, Dorothy's [Astrology] is constantly giving her hints. The stars have peeked through fate and seen that there is a way out here.
But where is the way out?
Before Dorothy could find the way to escape that Xingchen had hinted at, her face suddenly changed and she looked back abruptly. She could sense that the relentless pursuer was approaching here.
Dorothy gritted her teeth and didn't care about anything else. She no longer had the strength to continue escaping, and with most of her magic power blocked, it was difficult for her to get rid of the group of professional trackers.
Her only option was to trust the hints from the stars and believe that there was a way to escape from this place.
Dorothy wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, closed her eyes and concentrated on mobilizing her magic power.
At this moment, most of Dorothy's magic power was blocked by the poison, so she had to risk her life if she wanted to perform even the simplest spell.
Relying on the control she possesses as a high-level mage, Dorothy was able to cast the starry sky spell [Astral Illusion] even when the starlight was suppressed during the day.
[Astral Illusion] uses starlight as a medium to form an illusion with all the normal human reactions such as temperature, heartbeat, breathing, etc., and is finely controlled depending on the caster's mental strength.
Dorothy controlled the illusion to flee far away, trying to create the illusion that she had already fled far away.
But Dorothy always underestimated the power of the pursuers. They came much faster than Dorothy had imagined. Not long after the starry sky illusion came out, a dagger flew like an arrow and pierced through the illusion.
The dagger seemed to be enchanted with the power of [Demon Breaking]. A fist-sized hole was suddenly shot out in the chest of the Starry Sky Illusion, and then the whole body shattered and turned into starlight and dissipated.
"That's amazing. Even though the magic activity in your body has been greatly reduced and your wounds can't heal due to the [Corruption Toxin], you were still able to run that far."
"Winterhold Magic Comprehensive Academy is worthy of being the top academy in the Land of Mages. Even a star mage in the daytime should never be underestimated."
More than a dozen trackers, wrapped tightly in blankets, walked out of the forest. The colors of their clothes actually changed with the environment.
"That sentence from the daytime star wizard is completely redundant."
Even if she was forced into a desperate situation, Dorothy still didn't like others looking down on the profession of Star Mage.
"I don't mean to look down on you. If it was at night, my team would have to lose several lives before they could kill you, even if you were still cursed by several mixed toxins at that time."
The Star Mage profession is an extremely special profession where performance is determined by day or night.
If it were night, even though she was seriously injured and dying, Dorothy would be confident enough to take down a few pursuers.
But it is daytime now, and for star mages who have not reached the [Day] level, the construction of spell models will be several levels more difficult than at night due to the interference of the sun.
There is no hope anymore.
As a wizard, Dorothy knew that she had no hope of survival. Even if she were in her prime, it would take some effort for her to escape unscathed from this group of people. Now that she was poisoned by all kinds of toxins and curses, it was enough to make her lose all possibility of resistance.
There was only one thing she could do now.
To connect to the light of the [Sun], it is the only spell that can be used without any calculation or understanding after the Star Mage reaches the [Moon] level.
Connect to the sun and transform its rays into your own magic.
Then it depends on whether we can kill these pursuers.
But the pursuers seemed to be on guard against Dorothy's counterattack before her death, and they all stood in the distance, some on the branches, and some behind the tree trunks, so that they could take emergency shelter at any time if anything went wrong.
Then, throwing knives from all directions. Each of the throwing knives had been enchanted and tempered with poison. Not to mention that Dorothy was seriously injured and dying at the moment, even if she was intact, she would have to spend some effort to survive from the flying knives that blocked all directions.
I'm going to die.
When death came, Dorothy did not feel much fear, but instead a slight sense of regret.
It's a pity that the Starry Sky System cannot become the mainstream in the academy. It's also a pity that as a delegation of the academy, we not only failed to complete our mission but also died in such a place.
Still have regrets...
Someone couldn't go to the party he promised.
Seeing the other side throwing knives like a rainstorm, Dorothy closed her eyes silently...
"hiss……"
The expected pain did not come, and I smelled a strong smell of blood, but it was not the blood flowing from my body.
Dorothy opened her eyes in confusion, only to find that the knives shot at her were all stuck at her feet, and none of them hit her.
The group of pursuers were now looking around as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Enemy, alert!"
The leading pursuer immediately shouted out orders, sounding confused and fearful.
An unknown enemy has bypassed the alarm and arrived here, and...
Still a very skilled assassin!
Just as they were throwing the flying knives, the murderous intent ignited by the other side mixed with the murderous aura of the pursuers, without revealing the slightest flaw, and in the moment when the pursuers had no time to react, half of the members were killed in one fell swoop.
The bodies of the companions whose heads were chopped off beside the pursuers were slowly kneeling down and falling, raising a cloud of dust.
"It looks like you're badly injured."
