THE LAST HOBBIT'S
23 - Pursuit
...'They chased after the magic knights and hid. Yet the Elves and the giant were coming themselves in the direction of danger,"...
...*****...
The huge explosion from the attack by Arslan was very shocking. Even Sofia who was outside the Lunar Orchis building along with An was shocked not to play.
!!
Sofia widened her eyes as many people ran out. He almost got hit and trampled if An did not immediately pull and take him to a safe place. Sofia was still in shock, not knowing what had happened inside but from the explosion she saw - a huge mess was clearly inside the Lunar Orchis building.
"Arlan..." An muttered and made Sofia look at him.
"What did you say?"
"Arlan..."
Sofia circulated a glance, but did not see the young man mentioned by An at all. He then looked at the giant who raised it and found out that An's eyes were staring at the sky.
Sofia looked up and saw something flying, as if coming out of the dome roof of the Lunar Orchis building. In that instant he also saw the Natur sparf flying away and as if he was about to follow something that flew.
"An..!" Sofia opens her voice and seems to know the meaning of this girl-An starts running to chase after whatever is flying.
An ran into an alley and even jumped over a wall carrying sofia in his carrier. Sofia herself holds on firmly and directs each step of An. It just didn't take long until shock appeared on his facial expression.
Sofia has confirmed that the figure who flew away from the Lunar Orchis building was her friend, Arslan and Natur. But the problem is the fact that there are some magic knights who are chasing both partners. The magic knights were seen riding a broomstick.
"An, faster..!" worry was on Sofia's face. Although he previously said he hated Arslan, but that does not mean he will let the young man when being chased like this.
Sofia will only think of a way to help Arslan and Natur when she sees a trajectory of light hitting one of the magic knights to make the figure fall from her broomstick.
The path of light came again and this time Sofia knew that Arslan was the one who carried out the attack. The short-bodied young man had a great balance while standing on the bow belonging to Natur. Especially every time Arslan attacks... It was not a gentle attack, but a rough one and with a subverting effect.
For Natur, he did not think that Arslan had any magic power at all. Even the magic spell worn by this 1.3 meter tall youth he had never heard of before. It was clearly a magic spell that had never existed. Natur felt the need to get to know Arslan even further.
"Faster, Nature." Arslan open voice. He did not know what Natur was currently thinking and he was also unwilling to think about it any deeper. The conditions around him made Arslan feel he had no choice but to concentrate.
Nature's thinking about the magic spell used by Arslan is not entirely correct. Arslan uses a magic spell that has been around for a long time. It's just that, after many years of passing-the spell of this magic so not too much known.
"Arslan, where are we going now?!" Nature gulps. He kept moving and was very tense as the people who were chasing him were magic knights. They certainly should not be underestimated.
"Pine Forest. We're going there. You go straight," Arslan gave the direction and returned to cast his magic spell.
"The Cresion Dolor Lux..!" Arslan.
"Convodere Impenitum..!" a witch knight launches an attack along with Arslan's attack.
Both attacks have the same effect and when colliding in the air, an explosion is created to create a shock wind. It was just that the next second, something suddenly happened.
!!
Arslan's attacks are in fact layered, so that when one attack is successfully resisted, another attack will come and this is not anticipated by the magic knight. Three people were immediately hit by Arslan's attack and a fall from a decent height can make a fracture if not landed in the best position.
"Arslan, you're so cool..!" Nature exclaims. He unhesitatingly praised Arslan and seemed to forget about their still dangerous situation.
"Arslan, you should teach me sometime." Natur said again and responded with a calm voice.
Arslan without saying, "Your desire to learn magic from me will not be achieved if we get caught. So move faster,"
"of course. I am very confident in my speed," Nature smiled and further accelerated her bow.
"Wuu huu..!" Nature exclaimed and laughed, as if running away from the chases of magic knights was a pleasant thing.
Arslan blinked and inwardly shook his head slowly. Though their lives are being threatened and this blonde teen actually enjoys it very much.

Other knights who saw their comrades being attacked like this could only be bowed down. No one dared to fight because the subject who was attacking and scolding them was Helena Vennamous.
"You people who are this many how can you not overcome two troublemakers?!" Helena Vennamous clenched her hands. He walked up to one of the magic knights and then threw a slap.
"Not only did they steal the water ginseng and the star stone, they also destroyed my residence. Do you know how many losses I've suffered?!"
"I'm sorry, Miss..."
"How dare it be" Helena Vennamous slapped the magic knight again before her. He held the subject's chin and then pulled it slowly closer to his face.
The magic knight gasped, he was scared, but also nervous and very pounding. The slap from Helena Vennamous did hurt, but somehow it was also very exciting.
"I wanted... You are looking for the intruder" Helena Vennamous gently rubbed the magic knight's cheek before her. He said, "Capture them alive and bring them before me. If not, then that becomes a wall decoration in this place... It's your eyeball. Youunderstand?"
"Ba-good,"
"Now go," Helena Vennamous waved her hand and the surrounding magic knights began to say goodbye to her.
Helena Vennamous gazed towards the stage, where there was a jade table that was specially formed to place the star stones. The place was clearly filled with powerful protection magic, but strangely the figure that messed up this place could pick up the star stone easily.
Helena Vennamous gazed towards the place where the water ginseng had once been. He also remembered the face of the figure who offered the highest price for the herbal plant.
"I.... Will find you,"

"Satur, get down there." Arslan pointed to a grove of pine trees and he then stepped on one of the small branches of the tree. Natur also did it and his bow was immediately held.
"Furtiva travesti no trace," Arslan cast a spell that made his body and Natur now covered by the leaves of the pine trees around them.
"It's..." Natur became nervous, he started to open his voice and said. "Isn't the branch of the pine tree very fragile?"
"No need to worry, we'll be fine." Arslan said calmly. He could also sense the presence of the magic knights and sure enough, they managed to catch up to here.
Nature gulps. He has absolutely no idea if his hideout with Arslan is effective enough, but one thing for sure is that if they get caught-then one can imagine how their end would be.
"I'm sure they won't be far from this place," one of the magic knights opened his voice. He also gave orders for his colleagues to split up to look for intruders who had messed up the Lunar Orchis.
Nature unconsciously held her breath. He actually wanted to ask Arslan, but the intention was undone because it could be that the magic knights would find them.
"It's tense and frankly cool," Natur sat up as he felt the presence of something approaching him.
Natur then looked straight and gasped when he saw a small bird flying, as if to go towards him. He was shocked to recognize the little bird which turned out to be his pet pipit.
"Why is Lili here?" His natural expression was pale and unusually surprised when he heard the voice of the woman who called his name and Arslan.
"Arlan...! Nature...!"
!!!
Arslan was shocked. He widened his eyes when he saw Sofia and An. Though the magic knights still did not leave this place and the two friends actually came themselves in the direction of danger.
"Oh my goodness..."
