Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy-Chapter 659 - 638 Escape from Peril and Fleeing_2
Chapter 659 -638 Escape from Peril and Fleeing_2
She immediately exposed the enemy’s bluff.
“How long until you can move again?” Ivan felt somewhat relieved and once more transformed into the Void King Spirit Body, squeezing back into the barrier’s fissure.
“It will take three days to initially purge the foreign powers inside me, at least five days to exchange a few moves with that bitch.”
Antoinette multitasked, clearing the enemy’s influence from herself while diverting energy to relieve the plane’s suppression on Ivan.
This answer slightly surprised Ivan; not because it was slow, but rather too quick.
As expected of a natural divine being, truly the darling of the plane. The affinity to various powers is at the utmost peak, beyond the reach of ordinary beings.
However, it also indicated one thing: he needed to persist for at least eight days, with the first three being the most dangerous.
At this point, Ivan could only brace himself for the heavy responsibility. Soon, he was back in the passage full of chaotic spatial forces.
A few dozen seconds later, he still couldn’t withstand the omnipresent spatial turbulence, leaving his body covered in scratches and bloodstains.
Especially since he had to protect a certain Spring Goddess.
“You’re really lacking.”
Someone’s sharp tongue chimed in sarcastically.
“You’re certainly in the mood,” Ivan retorted irritably. “If you have the ability, bring a higher-quality protective talisman; I guarantee this sorcerer can avoid being touched by even a blade.”
Antoinette was left speechless.
The items in her possession had long become someone else’s trophies, and even her unique authority had been significantly divided. Now, she was in a state of utter impoverishment.
At the thought of this, she felt a slight pang in her heart.
That bitch, along with those bastards, all of you just wait!
With the Spring Goddess no longer speaking, Ivan focused on his rapid journey. Not long after, his heart skipped a beat as Vigidina’s voice echoed again, seemingly close by.
“Oh, another handsome young man; could it be a paramour you’ve picked up from somewhere?”
“Antoinette, this should also be a bluff, right?”
“Haha, you cute little outsider,”
The response was a coquettish laugh from the enemy. Ivan didn’t mind being teased, as he was indeed unusually young compared to two older women. What concerned him was the proximity between enemy and ally.
He had a very ominous feeling.
“Bitch! Isn’t it enough that you tormented me before? Now you shamelessly usurp my divine authority! You will surely face divine retribution.”
Antoinette couldn’t maintain her composure either. She realized part of her former authority had been appropriated by the opponent using her identity.
No wonder the opponent’s suppression technique was restrained; it was likely to exploit her.
The thought that the opponent had been using her own assets against her, resulting in her dire situation, made Antoinette’s hatred uncontrollable.
“Yours? Pah! I despise that self-righteous attitude of yours.”
“Yes, you were born with everything: power, authority, treasures. Meanwhile, we had to scheme and scramble like rabid dogs, yet we still couldn’t match a fraction of what you had.”
“Does that make you nobler?”
“Does that put you above us?”

“Why? I just want to see if I can bring you down to the dust, stripping away everything you own, and it’s obvious we succeeded.”
“This shows one thing: everything you have never truly belongs to you; you’re the usurper. You are just an oblivious fool.”
The invisible speaker, Vigidina’s words, kept echoing, relentlessly provoking Antoinette’s emotions.
Finally, Antoinette realized why her closest friend betrayed her back then; it was all due to jealousy, something she had never noticed at all.
“Antoinette, now’s not the time to dwell on useless thoughts. You still want to escape, right? Surely, you don’t wish to return to that unbearable place.”
As the saying goes, ‘bystanders see clearly’. Ivan could easily see that Antoinette had been fooled, her thoughts disrupted by the enemy, unable to distinguish priorities.
With his reminder, Antoinette recalled the previous scenario, shivering involuntarily, determined not to go back.
Vigidina wasn’t far now!
What to do?
She sensed something familiar nearby — a trace of the Jade Spirit Realm. She only had this one last gamble left; success or failure depended on fate. But even if luck was not on her side, she wouldn’t let that bitch have it easy.
“Let’s go that way and take our chances.”
“Alright.”
The Elf Plane is among the giants in the larger planes, and the experts born from it are also among the best in the same ranks across different planes, let alone one of an ancient Throne with divine authority.
Ivan was incredibly reluctant to face such a terrifying foe directly.
“Little one, you probably don’t know, do you? That direction leads to the Land of Extinction in the Jade Spirit Realm, known as ‘Annihilation Guts.’ Any being dreaming of climbing up through it to reach the Jade Spirit Realm should think again.”
“I advise you to stop now and hand over the bitch in your hands, and I may spare your life.”
In the face of the taunting voice from an unknown source, Ivan certainly wasn’t falling for it. Someone who could betray even their confidants could never be trusted.
He certainly didn’t dare to.
At this moment, he truly exerted all his strength, ignoring his injuries, accelerating in the direction Antoinette pointed. Soon, the menacing aura ahead intensified, making his scalp tingle from afar.
The threat was closing in from behind too, making it a dire situation.
“Don’t hesitate, move forward!” Seeing his hesitation, Antoinette shouted.
“Alright.”
Ivan steeled himself, not slowing his steps, dashing straight into the profound gray spirit flow ahead. The resistance against him sharply increased, as if a landslide was crushing down, accompanied by nauseating foul odors.
As it turned out, this Annihilation Guts was akin to a drain of the Jade Spirit Realm, where things above were likely crushed before being discharged.
“You’re in a hurry to die? Let me fulfill your wish!”
Luckily, he didn’t stop; Vigidina was close behind.
This formidable foe was also stunningly beautiful, yet next to Antoinette, she paled in comparison.
A true Green Wand extended from her hand.
The wand stretched directly into the Annihilation Guts, targeting Ivan with tremendous force, wrapped in chaotic spatial energy, bearing down ferociously.
“Mu Sen’s Staff!”
Antoinette gritted her teeth. This was her beloved item, the most handy intermediate talisman, perfectly complementing the Throne’s power.
Now, however, it had turned into a blade aimed at her.
She knew her possessions well. The sorcerer beside her would not withstand this attack, and both would perish as a result.
“Don’t look back, just keep going upward.”
“It’s all on you.”
In the moment of crisis, Antoinette stepped forward, shielding the waiting sorcerer behind her, using her body to block the incoming talisman.
This action made Ivan’s scalp prickle more, unable to stop her in time.
Fortunately in misfortune, the wand’s power suddenly reduced somewhat, striking Antoinette and the sorcerer behind her straight on.
In an instant, both lost their balance, being thrown deeper into the Annihilation Guts.
Another stream of light zoomed by, striking Ivan at an unbelievable speed, embedding deep into him — a curse’s power.
“So ruthless!”
Ivan barely had time for further research, dragging the unconscious Antoinette along, accelerating upwards with the momentum of the collision.
At the same time, he flipped out a Compass from his hand, which was almost devoid of its luster, hoping its fortune would offer them some protection.
Undoubtedly, this was the most dangerous place he had ever visited, facing the greatest crisis of his life.
