Wizard World Irregular

Chapter 151 Where Do You Think You’re Going?!

“Be very alert. We are nearing the location where my friend was ambushed by Bandits,” Leroy held a meeting with his bodyguards.

“According to him, there were over a dozen bandits and two Wizards. We will hasten the speed of our travel once we enter their territory, so I want everyone to be ready just in case they decide to strike us.”

Everyone nodded in understanding before returning to their positions.

Ethan’s group was positioned in the front carriage, while the other team was in the rear. The normal bodyguards were stationed in the second and fourth carriages, ready to aid the students at a moment’s notice.

“Finally, some action,” Lily grinned as she took out her wand. “I just hope that these bandits are strong.”

Nicole had also summoned her Rapier and placed it over her lap. Her left hand was resting on the scabbard, while her right was resting over the handle of the sword.

Ethan was certain that at the first signs of trouble, Nicole would draw her rapier and go on the offensive.

“The two of you stay inside the carriage—especially you, Ethan,” Nicole stated before shifting her gaze to the young lady beside the handsome teenager. “Chloe, don’t use fire spells during the battle since we are in a forest. It will be troublesome if we suddenly find ourselves in the middle of a forest fire.”

Chloe nodded. “Understood.”

“What about me?” Ethan asked. “What should I do?”

“You?” Lily arched an eyebrow. “Your role is to protect Chloe. This is not the academy, so no one is here to prevent you from dying. Just stay inside the carriage and support us with offensive spells.”

Ethan frowned, but still nodded his head in understanding.

He was proficient in fighting wild animals, but not humans who wouldn’t hesitate to kill other people just for the sake of robbing them.

As the envoy neared the location of the bandits, Ethan could feel his heart beating wildly inside his chest.

He tried to control his breathing, but it didn’t help decrease the anxiety he was feeling in his heart.

‘I just hope that nothing bad happens,’ Ethan prayed silently.

As if mocking his prayer, the coachman that was manning their carriage cried out when an arrow flew past his head, nearly killing him. 𝑜𝓥𝑙xt.𝒸𝑶𝓂

“Bandits!”

As soon as he shouted the warning, the two doors of the front carriage opened.

Nicole and Lily immediately engaged the bandits after reinforcing their bodies with Magna Amplifico.

“They have Wizards!” the Leader of the Bandit shouted. “Take them down first!”

A barrage of arrows flew in Nicole’s direction, but the Magic Knight raised her shield, creating a wind barrier that deflected the arrows that were aimed at her.

They also attempted to target Lily, but due to her uncanny speed, she was able to evade them as she jumped on the branches of the trees, using them as footholds as she evaded the arrows that were shot in her direction.

“Impediendum!” Chloe shouted as she cast a paralyzing spell, aiming at the bandits from the carriage window.

Leroy’s bodyguards all moved to protect the middle carriages, while the Wizards and Witches engaged the enemy in long ranged combat.

The archer of the group was firing one arrow after another, and two out of five arrows managed to hit their target.

Although he didn’t manage to kill anyone, the bandits he hit found themselves in a world of pain.

At first, they had the upper hand. The Archer even thought that they would be able to wipe out the bandits if the battle continued for a few more minutes.

As he was thinking these things, a Wind Blade flew in his direction, which forced him to jump to his right side, and roll on the ground.

“Rogue Wizards!” the Archer shouted as he tried to locate the Wizard that had cast the Wind Blade spell on him.

However, before he could find his target, a stone that was as large as a fist hit the side of body, making him grimace in pain.

If it weren’t for the Adventurer’s Robe that was given out by the academy, he might have suffered serious injuries.

These robes had a defensive enchantment in them that could mitigate some physical and magical damage.

Nicole, who had just stabbed one of the bandits, gritted her teeth when she realized that the information they received was wrong.

The bandit group didn’t only have two Wizards with them.

They actually had five!

Also, the number of bandits that were attacking them surpassed thirty, causing them to have a great disadvantage in numbers.

“Lily!” Nicole shouted.

“I know!” Lily replied as she kicked one of the bandits before jumping up on a tree branch.

Nicole also backed away, regrouping with Ethan and the others.

“If you don’t want to die, drive the carriage!” Lily said to the coachman of the first carriage, who was currently hiding inside the compartment with Chloe and Ethan.

“We need to go now!” Nicole shouted to the bodyguards, forcing them to man the carriages in an attempt to break through the bandit’s encirclement.

Chloe, Nicole, and the other group of Wizards and Witches cast protective barriers on the carriages, allowing them to resist range attacks.

They then bulldozed their way through the bandit’s encirclement, but the Rogue Wizards had a few tricks under their sleeves.

“Where do you think you’re going?!” one of the Wizards cast a wind blade, slicing the horse of the first carriage in half.

However, this didn’t stop the second up to the fourth carriage from running past them, leaving them behind.

“Chloe, fly!” Ethan ordered.

The young lady with light brown hair jumped out of the carriage and summoned her broomstick.

“Ethan!” Chloe reached out to the young man, but before Ethan could mount the broomstick, a Stone Bullet knocked him off his feet.

The teenage boy groaned as he rolled on the ground, making Chloe panic.

“Go Chloe!” Lily shouted. “I’ll handle him!”

Lily, who had already transformed into her Demi-Wolf form, grabbed Ethan before jumping to a tree branch.

“There’s no time, Chloe,” Nicole used her shield to block another stone bullet that was aimed at Ethan’s cousin, who was at a loss on what to do. “Lily knows what to do. Let’s go while we still can!”

“But!”

“No buts! Let’s go!”

The Magical Knight grabbed the handle of Chloe’s broom and dragged it towards the sky.

“Please be safe, Ethan,” Chloe prayed in her heart as she held the handle of her broom tightly.

Although she knew that Lily was strong, she was worried because the bandits had five wizards among their rank.

Nicole was worried as well, but she believed that Lily would be able to escape with Ethan despite the difficulty of their current situation.
