Celestial Mage

Chapter 20 Howling Wind, Blizzard, Samurai and Necromancer!
In a blink of an eye, another five days passed.

The heavy snow also fell for five days, and the entire Baima Town was covered with thick snow. Looking out from the window, you can only see a vast expanse of whiteness.

On the morning of the sixth day, Lilith finally brought back the news.

"A sister found Cyrus on a fishing boat by the Coldwater River, 5 miles west of the town.

"The traces on the boat show that he has been living on the boat these days and has never left."

"Also now?" Chapolei cheered up.

"Yes, it is still there. My sister was very careful and did not leave any traces when she investigated."

Xia Bolai grinned and said, "Very good~ I have been waiting so long that I got fat, and finally found this thief!"

He straightened his back, jumped up from the chair, turned his head to Rosen and said, "Little guy, you wait for me here, at most an hour, I will definitely kill that guy!"

With that said, he strode towards the window, pushed it open, and jumped out.

The series of movements were astonishingly fast. When Rosen ran to the window and wanted to stop him, he found that the other party had already run more than 50 meters away.

Looking from a distance from the window, Chapolei looked like a big black-haired mouse, slamming the ground and running away quickly.

Rosen frowned: "Mr. Xia Bolai is too impulsive!"

Lilith was a little puzzled: "Is there any problem? Xia Bolai is a powerful high-level warrior, isn't he absolutely sure against a low-level mage?"

This is of course true, but how could such a cunning guy as Cyrus leave such obvious marks?

Rosen has a strong feeling that the fishing boat is just a lure to turn the tiger away.

Once Xia Bolai, a strong man, goes away, Cyrus will come out to deal with him.

After he kills himself, he will naturally go far away, even if Xia Bolai goes all over the world to find him to vent his hatred, will he still be able to survive?

Driven by this strong sense of crisis, Rosen quickly put on his leather boots, put on a windproof cloak, and then jumped out of the window under Lilith's surprised gaze.

The snow on the ground outside the window was so thick that it reached knees, and because of the heavy snow, there were almost no pedestrians in the town, and there was a line of very obvious footprints on the snow, indicating the whereabouts of Xia Bolai.

After landing, Rosen followed the footprints and ran wildly on the snow with hands and feet.

Through these days of observation, he knew that in the entire Baima Town, only Xia Bolai had the ability and willingness to protect himself, and no one else could count on it.

If Xia Bolai falls for the trick of diverting the tiger away from the mountain, then he is already in danger.

The only way to save himself is to leave the hotel immediately and try his best to catch up with Xia Bolai.

Even if the distance is shortened a little, the chance of survival can be greatly increased.

After running hundreds of meters in one breath, he was already out of breath and his feet felt like lead.

He is weak!
When I was in despair, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from my ears, and a figure chased after me.

It was Lilith wearing leather armor.

Before she could figure it out, she still looked at Rosen puzzled: "What happened?"

Before Luo Sen could explain carefully, he shouted loudly: "Take me to Xia Bolai! Take me to Xia Bolai!"

"why?"

"Miss Lilith, there is no time to hesitate, hurry up!" Rosen yelled anxiously.

"Since you insist, then fine."

Lilith walked up to Rosen and knelt down: "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

Rosen complied immediately.

After he sat down firmly, Lilith ran wildly on the snow.

She is a spider apostle, and she has been trained as a warrior since she was a child. Her physical strength and skills are far beyond ordinary people. Although the ground is covered with deep snow, it has not affected her actions.

Even if he carried a person on his back, his running speed was not much slower than that of Xia Bolai before.

Seeing the roadside scenery receding quickly, and the icy cold wind mixed with snow particles blowing towards his face, Rosen felt a little relieved.

But he was still fully vigilant, looking left and right, guarding against possible sneak attacks from the dark.

The vigilance paid off.

When Lilith ran for about 500 meters and passed a remote alley, out of the corner of Rosen's eye, she saw a gray figure flashing quickly in the alley.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of light rushed out of the alley without a sound.

The color of the light ball is very strange, the inner layer is dark green, but the outer layer is filled with off-white light like flames.

Followed by another change.

The light ball is not one, but two, no, three!

They drew smooth curves in the air and rushed towards Rosen's back.

"Be careful of sneak attack!"

"It's a three-hit combo of mutated missiles!"

Rosen yelled again and again!

In the next moment, he felt a strong force gushing out from under him, pushing him to fly obliquely, crashing into the wall of a wooden house by the side of the road with a 'bang dang', and crashing straight into the house.

A large family lived in the house, and the sudden change made the family scream loudly.

Rosen didn't have time to explain. After landing, his body rolled quickly on the ground.

Looking up at the hole in the wooden wall behind her, Lilith spun around a few times on the snowy ground, dodging three missiles one by one by a hair's breadth.

The missile hit the snow, making a muffled sound of 'puff puff'.

One of the missiles landed on the snow within Rosen's field of vision.

Rosen clearly saw that the thick snow melted instantly, and a hole with a diameter of about 1 meter appeared. On the water surface in the hole, there was a strange gray flame burning slowly.

Lilith was taken aback, and she yelled, "Rawson, run!"

Needless to say, Rosen got up with hands and feet, and rushed towards the front door of the wooden house.

'Bangdang~'

He rushed out of the wooden door and entered a small square courtyard surrounded by wooden houses. There was only a wooden door on the right side, which should be the exit of the courtyard.

Rosen rushed towards the wooden door with all his strength, pulled the latch, opened the door and rushed out.

Outside the door is an alley less than 2 meters wide. There is also snow on the ground of the alley, but most of it has been cleared. Except for a little slippery, it basically does not affect the running.

He strode forward and ran like hell.

The alley is not long, so go straight and then turn left to enter the street. The snow on the street is extremely thick, but the ground under the eaves of the wooden houses on both sides is still clean.

Rosen ran against the wall.

After running for a while, I saw a brown figure flashing beside me, but Lilith chased after him.

As soon as Lilith stretched out her hand, she picked up Rosen, threw it on her back, and continued to run with her.

"Are you injured?" Rosen asked.

"Hide fast, don't get hit."

Lilith was also in shock.

After taking a few breaths, she said again: "I just saw him. The clothes should be Cyrus, but his appearance has changed a lot, his face is gray, his pupils are like two groups of gray flames, and his body is very thin. It's like a skeleton!"

Rosen was surprised, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but because he hadn't seen the other person with his own eyes, he couldn't deduce more information.

He could only ask, "Why is this happening?"

"It must have absorbed the power of the ember bird's feathers. Now he is far stronger than before, we can't be opponents at all, we can only run!"

"Ash bird feathers?" Rosen heard this word for the second time, the last time it was Chapolet.

"The Ember Bird, the descendant of the Undead God Bird, is a legendary beast. Its feathers contain terrifying power of ashes. Even a faint trace can regenerate a mortal's body and greatly increase its strength."

"The current Cyrus not only has greatly increased mana, but also carries the ash polarity produced by the compounding of undead and flames in his mana, which is very terrifying!"

Lilith explained while running.

Although Cyrus became stronger, his speed didn't seem to increase much. After the first wave of surprise attacks, the second wave of attacks never appeared.

"He shouldn't be able to catch up with us."

Lilith looked rejoiced, turned another corner, and followed Xia Bolai's footsteps again.

The Hanshui River is just 5 miles west of the town. After Lilith ran with Rosen on her back for more than ten minutes, a large frozen river appeared in her vision.

A dilapidated fishing boat with a straw shed was stranded among the reeds and grass by the river.

On the ice not far away, two people stood nearly a hundred meters apart.

One of them was short and fat, holding a crystal blue Demon Slaying Knife, it was Xia Bolai.

And the other, wearing a pointed round hat, wearing a gray cloth cloak, and holding a wooden staff in his hand, was Cyrus!
Lilith asked in surprise: "Why are there two Cyrus?"

Rosen's thoughts turned, and he suddenly thought of a possibility: "I'm afraid that the one in the town is the dead puppet that Cyrus resurrected!"

As soon as these words came out, a trace of fear suddenly flashed in Lilith's eyes.

"I understand, the power of ashes has the composite polarity of flame and undead, and its strength is very high. If Cyrus knows necromancy, after adding the power of ashes, the power of the spell will skyrocket!"

As if in response to her words, the snow field on the side suddenly exploded with a 'bang', and stretched out a pale palm full of mud!
