I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Chapter 137 - 137 129 To save or not to save (Seeking monthly

?Chapter 137: 129 To save or not to save? (Seeking monthly tickets) Chapter 137: 129 To save or not to save? (Seeking monthly tickets) From the initial ‘Dizzy’ Sorcery to now the ‘Oil Painting Vision’ Sorcery, the effects conjured by Lin An were definitely unique.

He obviously realized this.

As more and more Witch Hunter Knights gathered behind him, and as he skillfully dodged between their frenzied bombardment, he encountered quite a few wizards far more powerful than himself.

The witchcraft of these wizards was also particularly badass.

One of them even created a peach orchard illusion spanning an entire square kilometer that seemed to combine offense and defense, but the wizard looked rather desperate.

Clearly, this visual-based witchcraft had some connection with his ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes.’
It was precisely because of this that it worked so effectively against the formidable Witch Hunter Knights.

This…
This feeling of using a cheat code…
Man, it’s exhilarating!!!

Shenhou City was vast, spanning across several districts. Suddenly, the number of Witch Hunter Knights chasing Lin An significantly dwindled.

It wasn’t that these knights had fallen behind, but rather they had to make a decision whether to continue pursuing the Black Cat Wizard or to focus their energy on other wizards.

Especially since…
They were searching the whole city for traces of the wizard known as ‘Cotton Tree.’ That was the crux of their operation.

The appearance of the Eyeball Witch Monster, which wasn’t quite a Sorcerer Zombie yet, clearly indicated that ‘Cotton Tree’ was gradually becoming one.

If a wizard of such caliber were to turn into a Sorcerer Zombie, they could potentially destroy this bustling commercial metropolis that housed over twenty million residents.

If it came to that, losing this territory would be a minor issue for the Antlers. The number of ordinary people who would die would be the most dreaded outcome for them.

The Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order, even without Lu Tingyu’s leadership, was still habitually and mindlessly executing the strategies Lu Ting had crafted long ago and were now realizing they were out of their depth.

‘Cotton Tree’ must die!

That was the most crucial mission.

In the end, only Zhuang persisted in his chase after the Black Cat, but he was merely trailing from a distance, casually dealing with any wizards he encountered along the way.

Zhuang was actually a decent guy. Ordinary people with dormant sorcerer bloodlines were sent back to the real world without a second thought.

And for those who had just awakened, as long as they didn’t seem too crazy, he turned a blind eye.

In the lax governance of the Witch Hunter Knights, an unknowing city had quietly hidden so many wizards.

The Witches’ Assembly and the Crazy Male Witch’s Tree Hole clearly hadn’t fully encompassed all the wizards.

Some of them seemed to have a family of three, with children learning to manage their emotions from adults, cautiously concealing themselves.

Lin An, with his brain working at high speed, noted all of this.

Each face represented a future possibility.

Almost there!

Lin An thought for a moment, planning to head towards a Dark Sorcerer to draw Zhuang’s attention to him, allowing Lin An to escape and leave the Purgatory World behind.

He was somewhat surprised to find that many of the city’s wizards had dark gold statues with traces of black oil stains. If his past judgments were correct, it seemed that these people had all studied Dark Witchcraft?

This city must have some place, distinct from the Witches’ Assembly and the Crazy Male Witch’s Tree Hole, that was quietly facilitating the exchange of knowledge.

Just then, he suddenly saw from the perspective of the ‘Sky-Scanning Eyes’ an unbelievable figure.

Chen Shuyun?

Despite being dressed in a large robe and wearing a mask, that peach-like figure was too distinctive to mistake.

Wasn’t she supposed to be in hiding? What was she doing out?

Oh~
Not only that!

Lin An saw that Chen Shuyun was carrying an unconscious person on her back, who turned out to be Shasha from the Witches’ Assembly he had encountered before? The witch with formidable healing sorcery?

And the one currently battling Chen Shuyun was none other than Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin. As for the other two Demon Hunters, he didn’t see them at the moment.

To rescue or not?

Lin An’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his body crouched as he slipped into a gap in the ruins formed by collapsed yellow earth and rock, using “Sky-Scanning Eyes” to observe.

This clearly wasn’t Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin’s first battle; she appeared somewhat exhausted, and being accustomed to elaborate techniques, she had no choice but to fight more openly, relying on the increased power of her attacks to compensate for a slight deficit in her response.

Chen Shuyun was going all out, her witchcraft spirituality having been suppressed by Lin An, which limited her to casting only minor witchcraft spells.

However, it seemed she had been considering how to compensate for this issue, as the witchcraft in her hands were now chaining one after another, each nested within the last.

She intended to win with tactics.

After all, she still had to take care of Shasha, who had fainted.

An experienced Demon Hunter, a witch who knew countless witchcraft, they were evenly matched, each constantly making subtle moves to find an opening in their opponent.

To save, or not to save?

Lin An hesitated.

Despite Feng Xin and the other two Demon Hunters being tightly suppressed by the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order and seeming weak, Lin An was all the more cautious not to underestimate the three of them.

The Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order had botched things up, so the “Southern Alliance” sent people to assist with the investigation, the three dispatched clearly needed more for their abilities outside of combat.

They were obviously specialists in certain areas.

By an awkward comparison, if the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order were powerful warriors, then these Rabbit Eye Demon Hunters would be seasoned hands in criminal investigation.

And he, was precisely their target this time — the Eyeball Witch Monster, the Black Cat Wizard.

This was not like the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order he had slipped past, knowing there was little risk.

Lin An couldn’t help but be extra cautious, pondering whether he should risk coming to the aid of these two witches.

His relationship with the witches was complicated, far from being as good as it was with the young boss and Professor Cao.

But still…

Lin An’s expression flickered as he watched Chen Shuyun’s back.

Now that he had gone through the Emotional Fluctuation Period and officially became a Sorcerer, there were some things he had to start considering.

Besides preparing for future hostility from the Witch Hunter Knights and seeking allies…

He also had to think about how to enhance his personal strength.

The path of a Sorcerer was almost entirely intertwined with witchcraft.

Getting it wasn’t easy, Lin An had browsed the knowledge trade shops at the headquarters of “Crazy Male Witch’s Tree Hole” marketplace, and the cost of learning any witchcraft there was substantial.

Yet this Chen Shuyun in front of him…

Seemed like she could teach him for free? Especially after he had saved her.

Lin An watched from afar as Chen Shuyun continuously weaved together various minor spells, making up his mind.

He circumvented the paths between the enormous yellow earth and stone blocks formed from high-rise buildings and stealthily approached the Dark Sorcerer he had noticed earlier, then silently passed by behind him.

Boom!

Zhuang’s heavy hammer followed closely, piercing through the wall of the building and smashing towards the Dark Sorcerer.

Having paused the “Oil Painting Vision” Sorcery, Lin An quietly moved through the forest of yellow earth and rock blocks, eventually leaving the area.

Then he raised the “Oil Painting Vision” Sorcery again.

The battle between Chen Shuyun and Feng Xin continued.

Under the watchful gaze of his “Sky-Scanning Eyes,” Lin An pinpointed an opening and slipped inside with extreme precision.

The “Oil Painting Vision” Sorcery enveloped everything, causing all the elements in his field of view to spin and twist into intense patches of color.

The Rabbit-Eyed Demon Hunter Feng Xin, clearly very experienced, suddenly kicked the ground in front of her, allowing herself to retreat backward along the momentum, hands gripping a large curved knife, defensively encircling her.

As the view flipped, Chen Shuyun staggered and was suddenly above a massive black cat, not having realized how she got there.

She quickly hugged Shasha, who had been thrown up with her, squeezing the black cat with her legs and tilting back from the great force.

The wind whistled, a gale born of high-speed movement.

Feng Xin quickly caught up again, periodically kicking the stones along the way forcefully, sending them like cannonballs toward Lin An.

But it was futile; the chaotic spinning vision affected more than just sight, but one’s very perception of direction in the brain and soul. The stones she thought she kicked forward looked like mere sideways sweeps to Lin An.
