Chapter 5 - The Manticore
Just as Lin Li turned around, the dark-red shadow sprung on him along with a gush of foul wind like a horde of ferocious wolves.
It was fortunate that Lin Li had been living in Andoine’s log cabin for more than a month. In this past month, though he had only learnt ten low-level spells, he was far more adept in his execution of the spells than an average mage.
Lin Li pulled back before the red shadow came close and begun reciting the Delaying Spell in haste.
After unleashing the Delaying Spell, he quickly recited the Illuminating Spell.
What was originally a low-grade magic spell used for lighting released an extraordinary power in this dark and damp cave. A cry of horror ensued—the savage beast was badly wounded.
Lin Li took advantage of this opportunity and retreated another dozen steps. In the blink of an eye, the distance between them had been drawn to a safe one.
Only then did Lin Li have the chance to see the appearance of the monster that had attacked him from behind.
