Chapter 31: Am I going to die?
Lathel immediately followed the cauldron's instructions without thinking.
Less than a second later, the sound of howling wind rang out and Lathel felt something fly past his head, cutting off a few strands of hair.
Lathel looked forward, and there was a dagger stuck in the ground. The blade of the dagger was deeply penetrated into the ground, leaving only the handle exposed.
He took a deep breath as he felt a chill down his spine because he had just come close to death.
If he had been just a little slower, he would have died.
"Hahaha..." A woman's laughter rang out, accompanied by a voice filled with contempt: "I didn't think you would be able to dodge my dagger. Are you lucky, or have you sensed my presence?"
Lathel slowly turned his head back, and he saw a woman sitting on the stone railing of the castle. She was wearing a tight white outfit that was extremely sexy.
She had a beautiful face, short blonde hair, sexy red lips, and sharp and seductive eyes.
She held a dagger in her hand, which she constantly threw up and down.
Lathel frowned. He felt terrible pressure coming from the woman.
The woman used her free hand to support her chin. While smiling, she said: "You're quite handsome, however, Lizaru doesn't want you to live."
"Lathel, be careful. That woman's level is quite high, she is also an assassin. You should find a way to run away as soon as possible." The cauldron used magic to directly speak into Lathel's head.
Hearing that, Lathel immediately retreated, as his heart thudded furiously.
"How hard are you?" Lathel quietly asked the Cauldron.
"What do you mean? How hard am i? What do you mean?" the cauldron asked in confusion.
"What I mean is... how hard is your body?"
"Ah! Hahaha... My body is, of course, the hardest in this world. Even an A- rank weapon may not be able to break me."
"Great!"
"Wait! What are you going to do? The cauldron asked suspiciously, as it had a feeling something bad was about to happen.
Lathel did not answer it, he took a step back, frowned and asked: "Who are you?"
"Me?!" The woman smiled and said: "You don't need to know who I am, you're about to die anyway, so there's no need to know too much."
Hearing that, Lathel felt confused: "I've never met you before. You and I certainly don't have any enmity. Maybe you've found the wrong person."
"Hahahaha... I can't be mistaken, you are the person we are looking for." The woman spoke, her voice was gentle but it was filled with a coldness that made Lathel feel scared.
"stop talking to him, Akko." At this moment, another voice rang out.
Lathel saw that behind the woman was a Lizard, wearing a white outfit similar to the woman's, and he was holding a magic staff in his hand.
Behind that Lizard were three other people, one female and two males. All three of them were dressed somewhat similarly, all in a white outfit.
The only difference is the style of their clothes and the badge on their chest, as each person carried a different type of badge.
However, Lathel did not have time to care about that. He looked at the group of people in front of him, feeling extremely worried, sweat starting to pour out like a shower.
Although Lathel did not know who these people were, he could feel a terrible pressure from them, it was as if a rock weighing hundreds of kilograms was pressing against his back.
"Boy!" Lizaru suddenly spoke: "Where is the stone?"
"Stone?" Lathel frowned, he asked in confusion: "What stone?" What the hell are you talking about?"
Lizaru's gaze became cold and sharp like a sword. He frowned and said: "I don't have time to joke with you. Give me that stone, and I will let you die as gently as possible. Otherwise, I will imprison your soul in the fires of hell."
Hearing that, Lathel immediately realized what Lizaru was talking about. The only stone valuable enough for strong people like this to attack him was the five-colored elemental stone.
In a moment, Lathel suddenly realized that this was retribution for when he stole that stone from Alec.
Lathel was now bearing the troubles that Alec should have encountered.
'If Alec encounters troubles like this, he can definitely overcome them easily, and he may even be lucky in these troubles.'
'But I'm different, I'm just an ordinary supporting character, how can I escape this trouble?'
Lathel thought of countless options that could help him escape, but in the face of absolute power, everything was meaningless.
"Are you dumb?" Lizaru's voice became impatient. He reached forward, his hand slowly squeezing.
Lathel felt like the space around him turned into a giant hand, squeezing his body and raising it high.
"Ack!" He cried out in pain, that giant, invisible hand seemed to be trying to crush him.
"I don't have time to joke with you." Lizaru clenched his fist slightly, as he frowned and said.
"I... I don't know of any stones." Lathel tried to buy time, as he thought of a way to escape.
"Boy!" At this time, the Cauldron spoke: "Throw me out."
"Throw you?"
"That's right. You and I have a contract that binds us together, I can return to your hands. Right now, I can help you a little." The cauldron explained.
Currently, the Cauldron had shrunk to the size of a fingertip and it was hooked to the back of Lathel's pants.
However, Lathel couldn't move, so how could he throw the Cauldron out?
Lathel tried moving his fingers to the back of her pants. But just moving his fingers alone wasn't enough, as he could feel his bones reaching their limit.
"Alright!" Lathel suddenly shouted: "I put the stone in my space bag, let me go, and I will give you back that stone."
"Huh!" Lizaru waved his hand.
Lathel was then thrown to the ground, his whole body was in so much pain that it made him clench his teeth and shed tears.
He was thrown from a height of more than ten meters to the ground, so even though his body was three times stronger than before, he was still human, not a stone.
Lizaru didn't wait for Lathel to take out the stone himself. So he glanced at Akko.
Akko naturally knew what Lizaru wanted her to do.
She jumped down from the stone railing, walked closer, and squatted next to him.
Akko looked at him from above, then reached out and touched Lathel's body, looking for something.
Suddenly, she licked her lips greedily: "Your body is also great, it's a pity I don't have the chance to enjoy it."
"You will have that chance." Lathel suddenly spoke up.
"Hm?! What do you mean..."
BAM!
Before Akko could finish her sentence, a large, black object hit her in the face.
The force of the impact was so strong that it distorted Akko's beautiful face, sending her flying more than five meters away.
Lizaru's group were also startled. They did not think that Lathel could counterattack, or easily send Akko flying.
Those people were completely unable to see what weapon Lathel used to send Akko flying.
They only saw a large, spherical, black object. However, after sending Akko flying, that strange weapon immediately disappeared.
Lizaru stretched out his hand, as he once again wanted to imprison Lathel in the invisible hand he created.
However, Lathel was faster than him as he threw something towards Lizaru.
Lizaru saw a fist-sized stone with five colors radiating brilliant light in the sky.
Under the sunlight, the stone became even more brilliant.
Lizaru was delighted, and the hand that was pointing towards Lathel immediately moved its target, towards the stone in the sky.
However, Lizaru suddenly felt strange because he could not use his invisible hand to grasp the flying stone.
However, he was not worried, after all he could predict that, with the angle at which the stone was flying, he could definitely catch the stone easily.
The three people standing behind Lizaru only glanced at him as none of them wanted to compete with Lizaru for the stone.
Anyway, their mission was to bring the stone back to the Church, so it didn't matter who took the stone.
20 meters...
10 meters...
When the stone was less than 5 meters away from Lizaru, it immediately disappeared.
Instead, a black spherical object, more than 5 meters in diameter, was falling like a meteorite.
"What the hell?" Lizaru couldn't control himself and shouted.
Yes, it was the cauldron. At this moment, the cauldron was like a meteorite as it rushed straight towards Lizaru.
Its speed was not fast, however, the Cauldron seemed to weigh so much that it caused the space around it to vibrate violently.
Lizaru was just an ordinary magician, and he did not possess assassin-like speed to avoid Cauldron.
In this small moment, a hand suddenly grabbed Lizaru's shoulder, then pulled him back.
BAM!
The cauldron fell, and the ground broke into many pieces, cracks spread around like spider webs, and dust flew everywhere.
Lathel turned and ran inside the castle. He felt that revealing himself to the outside would definitely result in his death.
He thought that if he ran into the castle, maybe he could escape more easily.
"Bastard!"
Lathel had just set foot on the stairs leading to the main gate of the castle when a voice filled with anger rang out next to him.
"Hck!" Lathel cried out in pain.
A dagger stabbed into his back and pierced his chest.
Lathel fell face down on the ground, blood pouring out of his body like a stream. He tried to get up, but a foot stepped on the handle of the dagger that was stuck in his back, causing him pain and making him unable to move.
Akko's face had become disfigured, her nose was distorted, and she had several missing teeth. Blood flowed from her nose and mouth, making her beautiful face look ugly and fierce.
"I will kill you! Chew your bones and drink your blood!"
"Bastard! What have you done to my pretty face?!"
"AAA!!"
Lathel lay on the ground, unable to hear the sounds around him anymore.
The knife pierced his heart.
At this moment, the scene before his eyes gradually became blurry and dark.
'Am I going to die?'
