The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 197 Successful escape

?"What the hell?" Harris opened his mouth, rolled his eyes, and muttered: "It... it's standing on water..."

Alec's lips trembled, he didn't know what to say. The statue was standing on water as if it were on the ground.

The legs of the statue were surrounded by swirls of white energy, making it so that as its feet stepped on the water, it stood firmly as if it were stepping on the ground.

The waves that came under its feet did not cause it to lose its balance. Moreover, it was even steadily approaching them.

"Oy! Harris… do you… Do you have any other options?"

Harris heard Alec speak, but his mind couldn't think of anything else at the moment.

Together, he and Alec could not even scratch the statue.

Even if the statue uses magic, it doesn't need to chant spells or use a magic staff.

The statue's magic skills were many times stronger than theirs. Even Alec's strongest skill, a skill that Harris did not dare to confront, was easily handled by the statue.

As a last resort, they had to jump into the water and take advantage of the fact that the statue was made of clay and would sink when exposed to water, thereby losing its effectiveness.

Even though Harris thought of several possibilities, he never thought that the statue could walk on water.

They couldn't fight it in close combat, they couldn't use magic to defeat it, and they couldn't use water to drown it.

He also really wanted to ask Alec... if he had any other plans. Harris had no other way to defeat that statue.

No, just holding it back was enough, as they could not even break the layer of energy surrounding it, so they did not have any hope of defeating or destroying it.

Harris gritted his teeth, now he was in water, and he was unable to use his skills. Because his skills required him to stand on the ground and have enough time to cast the spell.

Now... he and Alec were both submerged in water, so only the statue could move.

They were like rabbits cornered by a wolf, with no other way to run away.

The statue slowly walked towards them when it was a few metres away from them. Harris spoke: "Dive below."

"Hm?! What do you mean…"

"He can walk on water, but that doesn't mean he can dive below like us." Harris explained, "This is the only option we can try."

Without waiting for Alec to answer, Harris immediately took a deep breath and dove below.

Seeing this, Alec gritted his teeth, followed Harris' example, took a deep breath, and then followed Harris.

Below the lake, they opened their eyes to see the statue of Lathel standing above them, unmoving.

At this moment, Harris felt they had just passed through the gates of hell. He gestured to Alec with his hand, saying that they just needed to dive to a farther place and then get to shore.

After all, their physical strength is very great, so submerging themselves in water for about 5 to 10 minutes is completely possible.

Alec was also happy, as he felt that the statue could no longer chase him.

He raised his hands, wanting to use magic to attack the statue from below, but was stopped by Harris.

Harris frowned at Alec and signalled him to swim after him.

Alec glanced at the statue with unwillingness as an extremely cruel thought appeared in his heart: 'Later, I will come back, smash this trash statue, and rip out the hearts of all those damn Yordles..'

Suddenly, the statue put its hands into the water, and countless electric sparks appeared from its hands like a generator.

Seeing this scene, Alec was startled and quickly swam away. Harris also felt something was wrong and looked up.

He was startled when he saw the lightning ball in the hand of the statue. He never thought that the statue could still use the lightning element.

The lightning element, combined with water, had the potential to kill them.

Harris, along with Alec, used all their strength to swim towards the distance. However, the statue threw that ball of lightning into the water.

Immediately afterwards, countless lightning bolts shot out like a spider web as they spread quickly in the water.

Alec and Harris both felt their bodies tingling as electricity started to attack their bodies.

However, they still tried to swim as best as they could, and in this moment, the main character's aura protected them.

The electric current from the statue's hands slowly weakened and then disappeared. Harris and Alec did not know that; they just thought that they had escaped the influence of the electric current emitted by the statue.

But they didn't stop, they continued swimming in the water, while heading further in the distance.

The statue of Lathel had now lost its outer layer of energy, and it slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.

Harris and Alec swam for a long time, and when they couldn't stand it any longer, they rose to the surface and tried to breathe in gulps of air above.

Harris looked around, and when he saw that they had swam more than 200 metres to a place completely out of sight from the Yordle village, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Alec crawled to the shore and lay on his back. He started panting as if this was the last time he would breathe.

Harris also went ashore, but he wasn't as seriously injured as Alec, so he just sat on the grass to rest.

"Luckily, that statue isn't chasing us anymore." Harris sighed and said: "Maybe... its range of activity is not far, so it didn't chase us."

Even though Alec heard what Harris said, he was too tired, his body seemed to be broken into countless pieces, and he did not have enough strength to answer Harris.

Seeing that, Harris didn't say anything anymore, he just sat quietly on the grass, while thinking about the situation with the statue.

'Strange, why is Lathel the god of the Yordle clan? Even the power of that statue is extremely terrifying.'

'Is that Lathel's true power? No way, they already checked that bastard's talent, and he doesn't possess the lightning element.'

'Also, the statue's physical strength and combat experience are richer than mine.'

Harris couldn't accept the fact that he lost to a statue of the enemy he wanted to kill the most.

It must be known that before entering the academy, Harris participated in many hunts with other adventurers.

Therefore, he has a lot of experience in surviving in the wild.

Compared to people of the same generation as him, it can be said that he is a genius who has been trained and nurtured since childhood.

That is also the reason why he can not accept that he is weaker than Lathel.

Harris glanced at Alec, then shook his head and sighed: 'Damn it! I hope that statue doesn't reflect Lathel's true power, otherwise, my plan will have to drag on.'

Harris still maintained the belief that he could defeat Lathel, it would just take more time.

To him, Lathel is just a lucky person and a liar, while he is a genius, who could stand on top of this world.

Harris and Alec both had similar thoughts. After all, they are both main male characters, and they won't accept the fact that someone as insignificant as Lathel is stronger than them.

Harris sighed and said: "Let's rest a little, then we will find an exit and run to the meeting point."

Alec gritted his teeth, as he did not want to leave this place. He still wanted to return to the Yordle village and take all the hearts of the Yordles there.

With such a huge treasure, he couldn't let go. However, Alec knew that Lathel's statue was there. If he went back, he was afraid he wouldn't be as lucky as he is today.

'Damn it!' Alec mentally cursed: 'Wait until I reach level 30, no, level 40, I will return to this place and destroy everything.'

Right at this moment, a shadow suddenly appeared blocking the sunlight. Harris and Alec were startled and looked up at the sky.

There, a giant eagle with a wingspan of more than 10 meters was floating in the air.

From the back of the eagle, a middle-aged man jumped down and stood in front of Harris and Alec.

The two of them were wary when they saw the middle-aged man. However, both of them were so tired that they couldn't move, so fighting was almost impossible.

The middle-aged man looked at them, frowned, and said: "You are under arrest for inciting the Fire Drake, and causing a series of losses to the academy."

"I represent the academy'smanagement team, and I'm here to arrest you and hand you over to the academy."

"What?!" Harris was startled, he didn't think that what they did would be discovered by the academy.

Alec was also scared. He thought that his plan was extremely perfect and that no one would know.

In the end, the Principal of the magic academy knew clearly what they were doing, and she even sent someone to come and arrest them.

"You have the right to protest." That middle-aged man looked towards Harris and Alec and said in a cold voice: "However if you resist, I hope you are well prepared for death."

Harris and Alec took a deep breath, as they felt a chill down their spines. In the end, they had to let the middle-aged man escort them back to the academy.

The middle-aged man saw that they did not resist, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

He is one of the two people working with the principal. When he saw Harris and Alec's information disappear when they came to this forest, he knew his chance had come.

He didn't want to make the nobles angry when they heard the news about what Harris and Alec had done.

He also didn't want to make the principal angry, so he decided to take these two people back to the academy and hand them over to the principal to handle.

That way, he doesn't need to face the anger of the nobles. He looked towards Alec and Harris while thinking to himself: 'If the principal asks why I did that, I can say that they massacred some Yordles.'

'Ah! That's right, they slaughtered the Yordle clan that the academy was protecting, they intended to attack other candidates, and they destroyed part of the Black Bone forest.'

'Hahaha… just with these charges, the principal will agree with me taking them back to the academy.'

Alec and Harris felt the man's eyes and trembled inside. They both felt that something very bad was waiting for them.
