The First Training (4)

Anna didn’t hear Leon add anything, and understood that knowing this much was enough for her. She took Natalie’s hand and said: “Natalie, let’s attack!”

Natalie almost staggered from Anna dragging her, and she asked in horror, “Am-am I fighting it, too?”

“Of course, with someone watching behind you, don’t you think it’s a waste if you don’t get some actual combat practice in?” Anna held Natalie’s hand tightly to prevent Natalie from backing away. She could clearly feel that Natalie’s hand was shaking.

Of course she was scared as well.

It was such a big centipede! It looked very scary, okay?

“Don’t be afraid, Natalie, Raymond and Mage Leon will protect us.” Anna continued to encourage Natalie, “Show your courage, we are mages!”

Natalie held Anna’s hand tightly, her face turned pale, and after taking a deep breath, she barely managed to stand up. She said, “I… I’ll fight with you, Anna!”

Anna smiled reassuringly, but when she turned to look at the huge centipede, she couldn’t help swallowing, her legs were a little weak.

Surpass oneself and push the limits, she could do it!

Anna also took a deep breath, distanced herself from Natalie, and the two approached the giant centipede from different directions.

For actual combat, they were not completely inexperienced, but battling with humans and battling demonic creatures were two different kinds of experiences. First of all, they had to overcome the fear of the appearance of the demonic creatures.

Ana and Natalie had made it this far; now they had the real hard part to face.

The giant centipede had already discovered the four people here. Its IQ was not high, but it felt that there were two people who were not easy to mess with, so it did not take the initiative to attack until it saw two weak-looking humans walking towards it.

It raised its head and was about to burrow into the ground. Natalie, who also heard Rothgarr’s explanation, was ready and immediately shot the water beam that had been in her hand for a while. It just so happened to hit the ground where the giant centipede was about to burrow into, blocking its entry route.

At the same time, the thunderbolt in Anna’s hand also rushed towards the giant centipede, targeting its fifth limb!

The giant centipede dodged its head just before Anna’s lightning struck it, and its red head turned to her, making Anna horrified.

It didn’t burrow into the ground. Instead, its several hairy legs moved quickly, rushing towards Anna.

With such a terrifying behemoth rushed towards her, Anna’s first reaction was to run away, but she controlled this urge. She was a mage now, how could she just think about running away when encountering demonic creatures!

She formed wind in her left hand, and the thunder in her right hand. While using the wind gathering spell to send herself away from the centipede, two consecutive lightning bolts hit its deadly limbs!

The giant centipede tilted its head to avoid the first lightning bolt, and the second lightning bolt perfectly struck the top of its head. Although it was not a fatal blow, the attack made it tremble.

It was angry, and the hairy legs moved so fast that it almost created an afterimage, and quickly narrowed the distance with Anna.

Behind it, Natalie could only throw water arrows at it from a long distance because she was not skilled enough in the wind gathering spell. But because the distance was further, her hit rate was extremely low, and even if she managed to land a hit, it did not cause much damage. The giant centipede didn’t even look back at her.

Ten meters…five meters…three meters…the giant centipede suddenly opened its mouth and spewed out black venom.

Since Anna knew that this giant centipede was poisonous, how wouldn’t she take precautions?

Or rather, she was waiting for the exact moment when the giant centipede approached.

At this moment, the wind she created by the Wind Gathering spell changed its direction, from pushing her forward in parallel to sending her up to the sky vertically. At the same time as she happened to avoid the venom of the giant centipede, she had a commanding view from a good vantage point.

Because the giant centipede was spraying venom, the head of the giant centipede was hanging down, and the limbs of its fifth section were so brightly exposed to Anna’s eyes. Of course, she would not miss this opportunity, and her lightning hit the target.

“Anna!”

At this moment, Anna heard the exclamations of Leon and the demon calling her.

Was there something wrong with her strategy?

Anna lowered her head and saw that on the ground below, the giant centipede she had hit had fallen to the ground softly, with its fifth limb scorched in half, obviously dead.

When she looked back, she saw that Leon and the demon not far away were running towards her. The lightning flashing in her hand was ready to be shot out. She subconsciously looked in the air beside her.

Only to see a three-headed demonic creature right in front of her.

Anna was scared silly. She moved her head to one side, narrowly avoiding one of the heads of the demonic creature to bite her own off. But after all, she had little actual combat experience. Her fright dispersed the wind gathering spell and she fell straight down.

But she only fell down half a meter before one of her arms was grabbed by the sharp and strong claws of the demonic creature. It brought her into the roaring line of life and death.

Its sharp claws pierced into her shoulders. Anna’s whole body was still hanging on like this, and the pain made her clench her teeth, nearly passing out.

The flying speed of this demonic creature was really fast. In a blink of an eye, there was only a dense forest under her. Leon and the demon were nowhere to be seen.

She still remembered that before she first came to Black Cloud City, she was also held in the air by a similar three-headed demonic creature, but it was under the control of Balan at that time. But right now, this demonic creature was definitely not controlled by the demon this time.

The her now was different from her in the past. She knew the wind gathering spell and was not afraid of falling from the sky, so she hurriedly formed thunder and lightning in her hands and aimed it on the head of the demonic creature, but it seemed to be immune to it. It moved its head to the side, its speed not slowing down one bit.

She tried using the gold element, fire element, and all other spells she knew. Anna’s face at this point had turned pale, firstly because of the dull pain in her shoulder, and secondly because she realized that she was still too weak, not a match for this powerful demonic creature at all.

It seemed she could only play her trump card!

Anna took a deep breath and used all her strength to shout, “Raymond, help—”
