Chapter 23: Ambush

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Grimm Brothers followed the target while Heath followed the Grimm Brothers. The group arrived at a secluded valley to the east of the mission area.

This valley was called the Mushroom Valley. The valley was filled with all kinds of strange mushrooms. One of these mushrooms was called the Morning Mushroom. They only grew in the morning and would shrink back into the soil after 10 o’clock.

This kind of mushroom was a relatively common material, and the reward for the mission was not bad. If one put in a little effort, they could probably earn 10 Magic Stones in a busy morning, which was equivalent to the income of some ordinary missions for a whole day.

However, because they had to get up too early and work too hard, very few Apprentices were willing to do this mission. Therefore, the Mushroom Valley was also a secluded place all year round.

At this moment, a figure walked into Mushroom Valley. With a graceful figure, a beautiful appearance, and long wine-red hair, it was Heath’s companion from his hometown: Karina.

After accepting the mission, Karina held a special bamboo basket and was ready to start collecting mushrooms in the morning.

However, at this moment, there was the sound of footsteps behind her, followed by a strange voice.

“Ya! Ya! Ya! Isn’t this the beautiful Miss Karina? Why is she here alone so early in the morning? Are you lost?”

Karina turned her head and saw the Grimm Brothers walking towards her from behind. It was the brother, Jim Grimm, who had just spoken.

The smile on her face, which was originally in a good mood, froze.

Karina and the Grimm Brothers’ enmity started when Heath and the others had just joined Shadow Tower three months ago.

The Grimms were very fond of women. Every time a new Apprentice entered the tower, the two of them could not help but carefully select and play with the slightly attractive ones.

Wizards were more open-minded in this aspect. In addition, most of them knew that the two of them had the support of official Apprentices, so the ordinary female Apprentices did not dare to offend them. They basically just endured for a while and thought that they had been bitten by a dog.

Three months ago, when Karina came to the tower, her bright appearance was quickly spread to the ears of the Grimm Brothers. Naturally, she was targeted by the two of them.

Who would have thought that Karina, whom they had tried everything from threatening and entice her, would cause them to suffer a setback.

This arrogant princess did not give them any face at all. She spoke coldly to them and even directly went to the tower’s law enforcement team to sue the two of them.

Although the two of them were basically fine because they were official Apprentices, it made them lose face. After that, Karina was targeted by the two of them.

The two of them waited patiently for more than two months until the limelight was almost over. Not long ago, they happened to hear that Karina had accepted the mission of Mushroom Valley, so they decided to settle the old and new grudges together.

Thus, this scene happened.

Karina frowned and ignored them. Instead, she carried the bamboo basket and walked back.

However, after taking a few steps, she was stopped by the younger brother, Harry Grimm, who had a smile on his face. “Where are you going? Miss Karina, haven’t you completed your mission yet?”

As he said that, he reached out his hand and touched Karina’s cheek.

Karina immediately jumped back like an angry female cat. She raised her eyebrows and shouted, “What are you doing!”

Jim Grimm snorted coldly and said in a hostile tone, “Huh? What are you doing? What do you think we can do in this wilderness to stop a little beauty like you?”

He chuckled and said, “Of course we can do whatever we want!”

Karina’s expression changed. “I’m warning you. This is the surveillance area of the Shadow Tower. The law enforcement team may come over to patrol at any time. If you hurt me, they won’t let you off!”

The two brothers looked at each other and laughed without any restraint.

Harry Grimm sneered and said, “Karina, stop dreaming. To tell you the truth, I’ve already informed the law enforcement team. No one will come here today. Just give up on this idea!”

Jim Grimm added, “Since we dare to make a move against you, of course we’ve made ample preparations. Now, we’ll give you two choices. Either you take the initiative and let us brothers have a good time, and we’ll let you live…”

After a pause, he bluntly said, “Or, die!”

Karina angrily said, “The ones who deserve to die are you!”

After saying that, she instantly took out a short-handled staff that she had just purchased and waved it in front of her. A fireball instantly whistled and flew toward the Grimm Brothers.

Putting aside character and ability alone, Karina was absolutely outstanding among the students of the same period as Heath and the others. After entering the tower for just over a month, she had already meditated one rune, which was not much slower than Heath who had the system. She was the fastest among her peers.

However, compared to the Grimm Brothers who had entered the tower for several years and were about to reach the intermediate level, the gap was still too far.

“Humph, na?ve!”

Jim Grimm snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, a water shield was deployed in front of him. The fireball hit the water shield with a sizzling sound. A cloud of black smoke rose and extinguished.

Harry Grimm took out his staff and waved it forward. A long whip formed by a hurricane was thrown at Karina in front of him.

The two sides soon fought.

After a few spells, Karina was quickly bound by a whirlwind summoned by Harry Grimm. Jim Grimm took out a rope and tied her up, then took out a piece of cloth and stuffed it into Karina’s mouth.

Karina, who was completely restrained, was unable to respond. Her pale face was only left with panic, and large tears fell from her eyes.

This pitiful scene immediately aroused the desire of the Grimm Brothers.

Harry Grimm raised a pair of magic claws and was about to tear off Karina’s clothes when Jim Grimm, who was next to him, opened his palm.

Jim Grimm said, “This is the surveillance area. First, get her out of the surveillance area. Otherwise, if we leave behind any evidence and we’re caught, it will be hard to explain!”

Harry Grimm nodded in agreement.

The two of them immediately made Karina walk out of the valley all the way to a grassland outside the surveillance area.

After throwing Karina down, Jim Grimm took out a bottle of magic potion that he had prepared in advance. He pinched Karina’s cheek with both hands and pried open her mouth. Then, he poured the magic potion into her mouth.

Under the effect of the potion, Karina, who was cursing loudly a second ago, gradually became delirious.

It was as if her entire body was itchy. She twisted her body like a water snake, and her mouth continuously let out erotic gasps.

Jim Grimm took out a dagger and cut the rope to untie her. Karina, who had regained her freedom, did not think of escaping. She began to tear off her clothes continuously, revealing a large area of snow-white that made people’s hearts shake. Her mouth let out an emotional moan.

Her unparalleled beauty and devilish figure were extremely effective when she made a move.

“I’ll go first, I’ll go first!”

“It was you last time. It’s my turn. I heard that this girl is still a virgin!”

“Then let’s go together!”

The Grimm Brothers’ eyes immediately turned red. Each of them took out a bottle of magic potion and drank it. In no time at all, they threw themselves at this peerless beauty.

Just as the curtain was about to be drawn for a good show between two dragons and a phoenix, at this moment…

Whew!

Suddenly, the cold sound of an arrow sounded.

“Be careful! Harry!”

Jim Grimm keenly sensed the danger and hurriedly pushed Harry Grimm away. At the same time, he pulled his hands to the left and right and unfolded a water shield in front of him.

In the next second, a sharp arrow exploded on the water shield.

There was a glass bottle tied to the arrowhead. After the explosion, the dark green powder inside instantly spread into the water shield. For a moment, there was a loud sound. The entire water shield turned dark green and white smoke rose from it.

Jim Grimm’s expression changed drastically. “It’s poisonous!”

Seeing that the poisonous water had spread to his hands, he hurriedly withdrew the water shield.

And at the instant that the water shield collapsed, the cold sound of arrows exploded once again.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

With one or two or three explosive sounds, three arrows flew towards him head-on.

Jim Grimm turned pale with fright. He hurriedly cast the second defensive spell he had mastered and summoned an oak shield.

However, the defensive surface of this defensive spell was very narrow and could only block the front. An arrow shot onto the oak shield with a ‘dong’ sound. The remaining two arrows brushed past the oak shield and flew back.

Jim Grimm’s expression changed greatly. Only now did he realize that the enemy’s target was Harry Grimm, who was behind him from the beginning.

He hurriedly shouted, “Harry, quickly dodge!”

However, he was still one step too late.

Harry Grimm’s entire body of spells was focused on offense. He did not have any defense at all, and he was not prepared at the moment. One of the two arrows that flew towards him hit his chest, and the other hit his lower abdomen.

Harry Grimm screamed, “Ah! Help! Help me! Help me, Jim!”

The two arrows were also tied to a glass bottle. After the glass bottle exploded, silver powder spilled out and covered Harry Grimm’s body.

Jim Grimm saw the silver powder, but he could not tell what it was. He thought it was some kind of poison.

He didn’t have time to think. Seeing that Harry Grimm was seriously injured, he quickly summoned a large healing water ball and floated toward Harry Grimm, wrapping him up.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the water ball wrapped Harry Grimm, the silver powder on Harry Grimm’s body suddenly glowed and heated up.

Seeing this, Jim Grimm’s head exploded with a bang. Because this was a low-grade material that every Wizard was very familiar with: metal sodium.

Before he could react, he heard —

Boom!

The water ball exploded with a loud sound.

Even Harry Grimm was blown into pieces.

Jim Grimm stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

Whoosh!

A soft sound came from behind.

Grimm turned his head and saw a figure behind him. It was a man in black clothes, a mask, and a hood. He couldn’t tell if it was a man or a woman.

Jim Grimm’s eyes turned red and he said angrily, “Who are you? What grudge do you have with us brothers? You want to be so ruthless!”

Heath raised his cross sword. “Guess!”

He jumped up!
