Chapter 337 Delay
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Two sharp whistling sounds could be heard as two figures, one big and one small, rushed towards each other and crashed into each other in the air.
Clang!
Clang!
The sound of metal colliding together sounded like a heavy gong.
Red Demon drew out a dazzling cold light in the air and slashed heavily onto the Gem Cat’s teeth. The sharp teeth, which looked to be a few meters long, shook heavily, and a few traces of blood even appeared on its gums.
“Meow!!!”
The Gem Cat clearly did not expect that a mouse-sized thing would actually attack it. Caught off guard, it was hit directly, and it immediately let out a cry of pain.
It immediately raised its claws and slapped at Heath’s head.
In the natural world, felines had always been the most outstanding in terms of agility, which was similar in the magic world. Feline demonized creatures had always had a unique advantage in terms of agility. The claw in front of him was the best proof.
The claw was like a sharp blade cutting through the air. In an instant, a series of wind-breaking sounds were heard. The claw was like a bolt of lightning that tore through the sky. In an instant, it appeared above Heath’s head, so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.
Heath himself was also an agile Knight. Although the claw was very fast and fierce, he still caught the trajectory of the claw and raised Red Demon above his head before the claw reached his head.
Clang! The loud sound of a gong exploded again.
Sparks shot out between the cross-shaped sword and the cat’s claw.
At the same time, an extremely surging power rushed towards Heath along the cross-shaped sword. It immediately made him feel as if he was hit by a huge wave. The power was unstoppable.
Under the impact of this power, he was sent flying. Like a cannonball, he was sent flying for several meters before he stopped.
‘Such powerful strength!’
Heath shook his slightly numb palm, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.
‘No, it’s such a powerful shrinking spell!’
The power of the Gem Cat was not outstanding. The reason why it could send him flying so far was mainly because he was affected by the shrinking spell, which resulted in the magic and strength units that he could use being reduced.
‘What kind of spell is this? Why can’t I solve it?
The spell to make an object bigger and smaller was not a particularly rare spell in the Wizard World. Heath had learned some before, but as far as he knew, this kind of spell was usually only used to impress the quality of the object. It would not affect the power of the object itself.
Simply put, even if Heath was shrunk, logically speaking, it should only be his physical body that was shrunk. However, now even his power had been shrunk, which was somewhat inconceivable.
Other than that, the structure of this spell was also very mysterious to Heath. Normally, this kind of spell could be broken. However, from the moment he discovered that they had been reduced in size… Heath had tried many ways to contact the shrinking state on his body, but he had never found a feasible way.
“Meow!”
Although he was very curious, facing the meowing again, Heath could only put aside the doubts in his heart and focus on dealing with the trouble in front of him.
Soon, the battle began again.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, the Gem Cat charged at Heath with a pair of sharp claws, slapping and beating him repeatedly, as if it wanted to kill him.
Heath responded steadily and carefully. He quickly waved Red Demon in his hand to block the attacks of the Gem Cat.
Although the effect of the shrinking spell had caused the strength of the two to be somewhat different, with the help of magic, Heath was basically able to block the attacks of the Gem Cat.
When the defense was really tight, Heath would also make use of the surrounding terrain to hide. Under the table, under the bed, at the corner of the cabinet, behind the door, and so on, these were all places that the Gem Cat could not reach. Shrinking his body also had some advantages.
After a few minutes of stalemate, the Gem Cat clearly lost its patience. Its expression changed from playing and entertainment to anger and seriousness, as if it had been provoked.
Its attacks suddenly became fierce. After a few unsuccessful attacks, it even began to use magic.
A demonized creature like the Gem Cat was very arrogant. If it was not forced into a corner, it would not normally use magic. A pair of sharp claws and agile agility was enough for it to deal with everything.
Now, in order to deal with Heath, the gem on its forehead kept flashing. It continuously released wind blades, frost, fireballs, and so on to bombard Heath.
Although these spells were only some very low-level spells, many of them were not even official-level spells. However, under the influence of the shrinking effect, these spells became incomparably huge. A small fireball in the eyes of Heath at this time was like the sun that fell from the sky. A small wind blade that stirred up a gale could even be compared to a typhoon.
Heath was also a little overwhelmed by such indiscriminate attacks. Several times, if he had not dodged in time, he would have been almost caught by the Gem Cat.
Heath, who was in a tight spot, had no choice but to use his spiritual power to urge Nina. “Nina, are you ready?”
Previously, he had already used his spiritual tentacles to understand the detailed structure of the remaining magic barrier. He had also informed Nina of the method to break this magic barrier through his spiritual tentacles. Now, Nina only needed to follow his instructions and tamper with the magic structure to be able to break the magic barrier.
“Don’t rush me! Wait for a while!”
Heath frowned. “Hurry up, or this thing will rush over!”
Nina said, “Block it, don’t let it come over. I’m already helping you to deal with the barrier as soon as possible. The runes on it are too troublesome. Give me some time.”
Having said that, Heath could only clench his teeth and continue to deal with the Gem Cat.
‘D*mn you, wait until I return to my original state and I’ll slap you to death!’
As an intermediate-level Wizard, it was a very magical thing to be chased by a Gem Cat.
Fortunately, after holding on for a short while, Nina finally gave him good news.
“It’s open! Hurry, Heath, the enchantment is
open!”
According to Heath’s instructions, Nina successfully opened the magic enchantment on the mouse hole.
The two Apprentices were overjoyed and rushed into the mouse hole. After ensuring their own safety, they both heaved a sigh of relief and stood at the mouth of the hole, shouting at Heath.
“Sir Wizard, the enchantment on the mouse hole is open!”
“Come in quickly! Come in quickly!”
Heath did not pay much attention to the shouts of the two people at the moment. He only raised his head and looked at the huge monster in front of him that was blocking the middle of the road completely.
Heath looked at the Gem Cat and then looked at the mouse hole behind it.
The mouse hole had been opened, but this guy was blocking the road at the entrance. How was he going to get there?
