Chapter 69 - So Close
Surrounded by powerful space ruptures, it was impossible for Boko to escape by himself now.
Flora negotiated with Boko as if she was confident. However, she was not. Saving Boko in such a situation was a difficult task, and even if she succeeded, she might lose an arm or two in the process… not worth it.
They needed Sunders to actually save Boko. Sunders had been hiding nearby and waiting for Flora’s “bargaining”, and he showed up when the price was good enough, maintaining both his image and his profit.
When Boko’s death was imminent, Sunders moved. The man in gentleman wear suddenly widened his eyes and drew a strange trail in the air using his black walking cane. Mana unleashed from his fingers, and a spell quickly formed up in his hand.
The time a wizard needed to cast a spell depended on how well he or she understood the spell as well as proficiency. To cast a spell instantly, a wizard either needed to consolidate the spell onto the spirit model at the cost of one spell slot or possess a thorough knowledge of the spell’s nature. The first choice was extravagant while the other one required a deep knowledge base. Either one showed a wizard’s refined wisdom, and Sunders just proved himself by casting a random spell instantly.
The power of the spell flipped his black-golden cloak around which fluttered in the raging wind.
A monstrous equine covered in scales and black flame emerged from Sunders’ cane. It let out a long and distant neigh, stomped at the air, creating a spell array beneath its hooves. Next, the flaming horse turned into a black flash and dashed between the space ruptures while heading towards Boko.
