The Legendary Mage novel Chapter 99

“Lady Mariela, let's both step back. I only want two; I'll leave you three.”

Alavin had just sought to ease the tension, but what he got in return was an icy retort, “Not a chance.”

Alavin was riled up. “You unreasonable wench!”

Mariela's brows furrowed slightly. “What did you say?”

“You heard me.”

“You…”

Mariela, like an arrow loosed from a bow, charged at him. Her ancient sword sang from its scabbard, its metallic ring stirring the old woods, and a chilling sword's energy burst forth from within the blade. She swung her sword at Alavin, and the temperature in the forest seemed to drop several degrees.

Alavin dodged in alarm. “Madwoman! Have you a death wish? Are you hoping the Violet Lion won't catch up?”

As expected, a deafening roar echoed from the dense woods behind them, and the Violet Lion charged towards them.

“Foolish woman!” Alavin, furious, turned and fled. “Don't follow me.”

“Dream on! Hand over the Violet Thistle.” Mariela sheathed her ancient sword and continued the pursuit. Her sword's energy was too fierce, easily detectable by the Violet Lion.

“Don't follow me. Split up!”

Mariela was relentless and determined to obtain the Violet Thistle. These five Super Elixir Fruits, when taken together, their effect was second only to the Legendary Elixir Fruit—a rare treasure surpassing any other Super Elixir Fruits.

For anything else, she might have let Alavin have it, but these five Elixir Fruits had to be taken together for her to break through her barriers and ascend to an Advanced Mage!

Advanced Mage! She had longed for it for far too long.

“Your perfume is too strong; don't follow me,” Alavin called out in desperation from ahead.

Mariela's face was frosty. Perfume? This was her natural, refreshing scent!

“You've doomed us both.” Seeing her still in hot pursuit, Alavin suddenly plucked a Violet Thistle and hurled it into the nearby woods.

A wild boar, already in a panic, roared instinctively at the thrown object. When the Elixir Fruit fell to the ground, its strong medicinal aroma drew the boar's attention, causing it to open its mouth to eat. What a treasure!
