Chapter 19: Ambushed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Noah, who was running in front, was full of doubts. Why did the other party suddenly want to kill him? he did not offend anyone, did he?

He did not even have a deep impression of that young man, let alone offend him. Why would he want to kill her?

He did not understand. They did not have any grudges. It couldn’t be that they were after money, right? he did not have anything valuable as well.

Suddenly, Noah thought of the life core that was still in his arms.

“He did this for this?” Noah felt that he was pretty close to the truth. Other than that, he really didn’t know why the young man wanted to kill him.

Even though he had guessed it, he still could not understand. Was it not just a stone? Was it worth killing him?

Just as Noah was thinking, a wave of dizziness hit him, and his vision suddenly became blurry. His body also seemed to be seriously ill, and he gradually became weak.

“What’s going on? what’s wrong with me?” Noah subconsciously looked at the wound on his chest. At the wound, Noah found that his blood was light gold, but a part of it had turned black.

“When did my blood turn golden?” Noah was puzzled, but the black blood also made him understand that the blade he had just been hit with was poisonous.

After running for a short distance, Noah could no longer hold on and rolled down from the wind-chasing horse.

The young man behind him saw this, and his face lit up. “The medicine has finally taken effect! Don’t even talk about casting spells, you’ll be lucky if you can even survive!”

The poison on the blade was specially prepared by him in case he had to deal with a mage in the future. He did not expect to use it today. However, it was worth it.

The young man pulled back the reins and stopped the wind-chasing horse. He walked to Noah’s side. At this moment, he was not worried about Noah’s magic at all. He was poisoned and could not gather magic. If he used magic forcefully, he would die even faster.

Noah got up with difficulty and turned to look at the young man.

“Why? Why do you want to kill me?” Noah asked unwillingly, not caring if the other party could understand.

He did not die in a car crash, did not die in the devil-sealing grounds, and did not die in the mouth of a magical beast, but was he going to die in the hands of a human?

The young man seemed to understand Noah’s words and said unhurriedly, “You’re asking me why I want to kill you, right? It’s simple, you took something that didn’t belong to you.”

Sure enough, after hearing the young man’s words, Noah knew that he had guessed correctly. The other party’s target was that life core!

“A second-grade life core! Lily actually gave it to a stranger like you. But it’s all thanks to her giving it to you that I have a chance. Originally, I was just a little jealous and didn’t have any thoughts of attacking you, but it’s a pity that even the heavens are helping me. They actually arranged for a group of magical beasts to attack me. If we don’t get this life core, we’ll be wasting such a good opportunity!”

The young man was no longer worried about any accidents, so he explained without restraint. His tone was a little sarcastic and a little boastful. He could indeed show off. It was almost impossible for a trainee Knight to kill a mage. Of course, Noah was not an official mage, but everyone thought he was.

Hearing the young man’s words, Noah knew that he could not escape death today even if he was unwilling. However, even if he died, he couldn’t let the other party succeed so easily!

Thus, Noah began to gather his magic power, but just as he did so, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Hahaha! You still want to use magic? Do you think my poison is weak?” The young man sneered without hiding anything.

Noah’s face turned even paler, and unwillingness was written all over his face!

“Hand over the life core and I’ll let you die a quick death.” The young man seemed to enjoy the feeling of teasing Noah. The mage that he could only look up to in the past could only lie in front of him and look up at him.

Of course, the joy of obtaining a second-grade life core had also caused the young man’s body to tremble uncontrollably.

Noah felt that his body was getting worse and worse. It was as if there were tens of thousands of needles stabbing him all the time. The poison in his body was like a venomous snake, constantly nibbling away at his body.

This venomous snake was rampaging inside his body without any restraint.

Noah resigned himself to his fate and lay on the ground, looking up at the distant sky. The sky is so beautiful!

I’m being too optimistic. I’m about to die, but I’m still sighing about the beauty of the sky.

Suddenly, Noah was stunned. He stared at the sky, and his consciousness gradually scattered. The poison that was originally wreaking havoc in his body suddenly seemed to have met its natural enemy and stopped.

If one looked into Noah’s body, they would find that his blood was now flashing with a seven-colored light. When the originally raging poison encountered this seven-colored light, it was like a mouse meeting a cat. The blood in Noah’s body seemed to sense that his body could not hold on any longer and finally began to show its power!

Under the purification of the seven-colored blood, the poison essence was actually melting away bit by bit!

Noah, who sensed the changes in his body, suddenly came to his senses. ‘I can still be saved!’

While thinking, Noah pretended to be weak and took out the life core from his arms.

Upon seeing the life core that was as pure and holy as snow, the young man was instantly excited.

“Yes, give it to me. and I’ll let you die a quick death!”

Noah still pretended to be weak, but in fact, he felt that his body was slowly recovering. He tried to gather his power, but he no longer felt like he was bound. He only needed to delay a little more, give him a little more time, and he would be able to live!

The young man was also fooled by Noah’s acting and really thought that Noah was about to die, so he smiled and walked forward without any guard.

“Since you’ve taken the initiative to hand over the life core, I’ll bury you when you die later. I won’t let you die without an intact corpse,” As he spoke, the young man squatted down and took the life core from Noah.

The moment the life core was in his hand, the young man no longer had the mood to care about Noah. In any case, Noah was already a dead man to him.

“I’ve got it. I’ve got the second-grade life core. With this life core, I can become an official knight! Glory and status are all beckoning to me!”

As if thinking of the bright future, the young man couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

After he was happy enough, the young man looked at Noah.

“Respected mage, I’m sorry that today is the day of your death. However, I will watch you die. You are not alone, so I hope you don’t blame me. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the cruelty of the world. The strong eat the weak. You have obtained something that doesn’t belong to you, so naturally, you will also attract disaster that doesn’t belong to you,” The young man said softly.

The young man looked at Noah and found that Noah was saying something, but because Noah’s voice was too soft, the young man couldn’t hear it clearly.

“What did you just say?” The young man was curious and moved closer to Noah.

Just as the young man moved his ear closer to Noah to hear clearly, a burning aura was produced between the two.
