Mage Manual-Chapter 1281 - 931: Bitter Struggle (Part 2)

"If it were Ye Jian, it would be fine, but if it’s not Ye Jian..."

Yinzhi paused for a moment and then laughed, "It doesn’t concern me. I’m just being kind-hearted in wanting to save him. After all, we once shared life-and-death battles together!"

"The only enemy you fought side by side against wouldn’t happen to be me, would it?" Le Huai ran to the rooftop, stepping on the walls, and said:

"Let’s go, Long Yuan should be ready."

*

"Did they give up?" Diya glanced at the quiet rear, her chaotic hair color slightly returning to normal.

"Highly unlikely, just keep running." Ash cut through the steel pipe railing by the roadside and tossed it to Vishi: "Vishi, why on earth are they trying to kill you?"

Vishi took the steel pipe, swung it around a couple of times, and shook her head, "I don’t know either, the moment Long Yuan saw me, he yelled to kill, even though I’ve never met him. But my appearance now is the same as before."

"And he called me ’the last Master of the Dream Heaven...’ " The Ghost Prophet’s lips curved up slightly: "He might have seen images of me in the past."

"As for why they are chasing me, we’ll soon find the reason—Long Yuan did say ’there’s no time left’ just now."

"Yinzhi just mentioned there will be another heritage feast," Ash pondered, "So it means your existence is likely to affect their fight for heritage."

"It all connects, to stop me from fighting for the last Angel’s heritage, the Demons are willing to unite to eliminate me. This sounds..." Vishi’s eyes glowed red, "so melodious."

"Hold on, I know the situation is urgent, so Observer, don’t speak." Diya looked at Vishi, "Who are you?"

"I didn’t expect the Master didn’t tell the Mistresses about me." Vishi politely nodded, "You must be the Witch Mistress, I am the Master’s personal maid, Vishi."

"She—"

"No," Diya gave Ash a sidelong glance, the coldness in her eyes sending chills down Ash’s spine, "Speak."

Ash obediently closed his mouth, and Diya continued to ask, "Have you been in the Kingdom of Allstars these past few months?"

"That’s right."

"What happened there? You understand what I’m asking."

"Though I’m very willing to dedicate myself to the Master, to warm the Master’s body, to align his desires," Vishi sighed, "the Master keeps rejecting my invitation to his bed."

Diya slightly frowned, suspiciously staring at Ash. Ash widened his eyes—you’re doubting my integrity on this point? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Diya coughed a couple of times and asked again, "Why do you call me Mistress? It’s clearly our first meeting; how could you recognize me?"

"Because the Master often talks about how much he loves the Sword Maiden Mistress and the Witch Mistress, scolding me for coveting him, saying his body will belong to his two Mistresses and won’t give me, a maid, any opportunity to overstep." Vishi blinked, "Witch Mistress, if you’re ever tired in the future, you could consider letting me fill in."

"Is that really the case..." A red blush spread across Diya’s face, and she looked at Ash, touched. Her hair color instantly became clear, "As for filling in... it’s not out of the question, but there are others in line ahead of you, so you’ll have to wait."

Ash finally couldn’t hold it in, "Are you really agreeing?"

Vishi curiously asked, "How many are in line? Do I need to take a number?"

Bzz—Bzz—Bzz—

Screech—

As the sound of an engine drew closer, the screeching noise of tires skidding on asphalt suddenly sounded ahead, and a brightly colored sports car suddenly stopped on the road in front of them, the air filled with the acrid smoke of burning tires.

They watched as Long Yuan got out of the car, simultaneously pulling out two War Axes.

The entire City was empty, where did he get the car—

In a flash of lightning, Ash remembered the car dealership they passed by earlier. There’s no one or vehicles in the city, but all the goods were still there!

No time to marvel at how demons utilize city facilities better than modern people, Long Yuan had already thrown his War Axe!

Rumble—

The buildings on either side of the road were taken down one by one by the spinning War Axe, Long Yuan advancing alongside his Axe, every place he passed turned into ruins of collapsing buildings!

Even if Ash and his group could pass Long Yuan, it would be difficult to cross the graveyard of the dozen or so collapsed buildings!

Meanwhile, behind them, Yinzhi and Le Huai had already caught up!

A tiger in front, a hungry wolf behind, a desperate struggle of trapped beasts!

The War Axe had already returned to Long Yuan’s hands, the gun sound of Yinzhi ringing the death knell, and Le Huai jumped down from the roof. At this moment, they had nowhere to escape.

Only a Miracle!

Ash suddenly flung his sword, crossing a hundred-meter expanse of ruins, accurately hitting the asphalt next to the sports car.

Then he wrapped his arms around the waists of Vishi and Diya, planting his other sword into the ground!

’Heart Sword’ for guidance, ’Earth Sword’ to pave the way, ’Flow Changing’ transformation!

Miracle · Pursuit!

In an instant, they covered over a hundred meters, arriving next to the sports car, Vishi and Diya immediately pushing Ash inside, driving away.

"A wise choice." Yinzhi laughed, "I thought he might try using a Miracle to kill us."

"But not wise enough." Long Yuan was not in a hurry, "Clearly, abandoning the Ghost Prophet would be the only way to survive, yet he still thinks he can create a Miracle."

"Isn’t that great? Miracles are the mage’s essence." Le Huai said, "Swaying with the wind is a fine quality, but steadfastness often creates Miracles. However, considering he can even treat the Ghost Prophet as a partner, it makes me very curious about what kind of education he received."

Yinzhi suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which..."

"What country is he from?"

...

...

"Not much fuel left."

Vishi’s face turned grim, she glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing Ash trembling all over due to his broken Void Wings and asked, "How many more chances do we have?"

"One." Ash tightly hugged Diya, enduring the pain, "And you?"

"I’m all out, I used it twice in the Holy Grail War and twice more being chased by Long Yuan." Vishi stopped the car, opened the door seeing Ash needing Diya’s support, so she went to assist Ash, "They will catch up soon."

"There’s me too!" Diya immediately said, "I can still fight!"

"You’re different from us; our Void Wings can grow back, but that’s no Blessing, it’s a curse." Vishi said, "If there were even a slightest chance, the Master would never let Mistress endure such harm."

"Even if we gave it our all, we might not be able to defeat those three Demons. The gap between us and them cannot be offset by one or two Miracles."

Ash faintly picked up on something unsaid, "Vishi, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Their target has always been me, you were merely dragged into this by me."

Vishi calmly said, "As long as I die, everything will naturally end."
