The Legendary Mage (Alavin)

Chapter 345

Their hearts stirred with dark desire, growing hotter with each passing thought. In the dim environment, the ruthless hunt had given birth to wickedness in their souls. Mariela was simply too enchanting—her exquisite beauty and perfect figure, her cool demeanor, and the mystery and sanctity that she exuded were all taunting their desires.

To conquer such a woman would surely be a grand delight!

"Shameless!" Mariela retreated step by step.

"We're only thinking of you, my dear," they taunted. "Such a beautiful lady is yet to experience the joys of the flesh before her untimely demise. What a pity."

"Don't worry, we are quite experienced. We'll ensure you're comfortable."

They advanced with a lecherous gleam in their eyes, greedily scanning her form, barely restraining themselves from pouncing and stripping her to admire the hidden beauty of her body. The thought of such an icy maiden soon pleading beneath them quickened their breath and sent blood rushing to their heads.

Just then, a herd of massive elephants passed by like moving hills. Their heavy steps sent tremors through the forest.

Mariela seized the chance to break into the herd, but the two male Protégés, one ahead and one behind, watched her every move. "Do you really think you can escape? Give up."

Mariela's attempts to dash left and right were thwarted, and in just a moment, the elephants had moved on. The dense forest grew darker, and no powerful Magi-Monsters roamed nearby.

"Mariela, will you submit to us, or do you fancy a bit of force?" One of the Protégés chuckled wickedly, suddenly lunging forward with his blade to subdue Mariela, planning to savor his prize

slowly.

"Do a favor for us." The other Protégé lunged at Mariela.

Her eyes were ice-cold as she drew her sword to meet their attack, preferring death over dishonor.

But suddenly...

Thwack! Thwack!

Two sprays of blood appeared, and the heads of the two Protégés soared into the sky, their bodies uncontrollably crashing to the ground. The smiles were still etched on their severed faces.

Mariela was splattered with fresh blood and stunned as she looked into the forest. Who was there?

A tall, lean man emerged from the shadows, striding forward with a flaming red sword in hand, a bloodied body slung over his shoulder, followed by a stunning woman.

"Hamund? Celesse?"

Recognizing her rescuers, Mariela's tension eased, and she nearly collapsed from dizziness. Since fleeing Botanic Haven, she hadn't stopped for a moment and was utterly exhausted.

"How did you find me here?" Celesse quickly came to support her.

"I was..." Mariela began to speak but froze, staring at the bloodied man Hamund carried. The Commander?

"Where is your mentor?" Hamund asked with a grave expression.

Mariela snapped out of her daze. “We were attacked at Botanic Haven. My mentor sent a message telling me to flee and find Alavin. The Commander... what happened to him..."

"Grand Elder has betrayed us, aligning with Lord Viperbane and the Amber Valley," Celesse said, still struggling to accept that such a thing could happen within the Cobalt Strike.

Lord Viperbane? Amber Valley? Mariela's heart sank. This was ten times worse than the worst scenario she had imagined.

Could the Grand Elder know about the Kings' Acceptance? For the sake of the Kings' Acceptance, he had stooped to such vile means. It was madness! Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Celesse continued, "The Grand Elder probably doesn't know that Kings' Acceptance is with Alavin, or he wouldn't have attacked the Commander and the Elder of Botanic Haven. But now that he has the Elder, he'll find ways to extract the information."

"Come with us. Let's find Alavin."

After Hamund took the Commander away, his injuries worsened, forcing them to stop and tend to him. Hamund was now grateful for the delay; otherwise, they would have been far gone and wouldn't have encountered Mariela. If that had happened...

"Thank you," Mariela expressed her gratitude.

"Even if we find Alavin, what then? Sooner or later, the Grand Elder will uncover the secret. There's nowhere in the world Alavin can hide."
