Chapter 499: More of Them!?
I looked to the location Shelia is pointing at with my Divine Vision, and see two people walking this way. They calmly walk in the forest in the middle of the night. That alone is enough to be suspicious of them, but there’s more.
“Two people incoming. A man and a woman. Both have mohawk and they noticed that I’m looking at them,” I said to the others.
“Two artificial master level mages? Are they flying?” Kayla asked.
“No. They are walking.”
“A man and a woman... at least they are not children, right? Let’s kill them,” Celestine said.
“Obviously, we will kill them. Other than the werewolves who can’t wait to fight, the mages should hide and wait for the right moment to attack. They will still notice you’re here, but they will focus more on me and the werewolves,” I said.
Kayla and the other mages went into hiding on top or behind the trees. They won’t attack yet, but they are prepared to raise their defensive magic as quick as possible.
.....
The enemies are master level mage. Artificial ones. So, our defense won’t be good enough if they targeted us. But it should be enough to delay their attack from reaching us. Even if it’s just less than a second, it could be life-saving.
“It’s just two enemies. We can just fight one on one, right?” Shelia asked.
“It’s too dangerous. The previous mohawk kid that I fought has two elements. One master level wind element, and he is also an expert level healer. If any one of the enemies is also a healer, it would be difficult. Even worse if both of them are. And since they are walking, we still don’t know what their elements are,” I said.
“But we are werewolves, my king. We are the race of warriors. We want to fight as much as possible,” Jack said.
Right. If I keep telling them to do something they don’t like, they will end up disobeying me in the future. I guess I need to let them have their freedom to fight once in a while.
“Fine. All of you werewolves will fight one of them. While I will fight the others. As for how you fight your opponent, I don’t care. Whether you want it to be a one on one, or if you want to fight using numbers, I don’t care. Just don’t die, and win,” I said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJack and the werewolves smiled happily hearing that. As for Shelia, she didn’t even move from my side. It looks like she doesn’t have the intention to join with the other werewolves.
“You’re still here?” I asked.
“The other can take care of themselves. I’m your contracted monster. I’ll stay with you unless you want me to leave,” Shelia said.
“Okay. Hey, werewolves! Man or woman? Who will you fight?” I asked the werewolves.
“Which one is stronger?” one of the werewolves asked.
“I don’t know. They hadn’t use magic yet.”
The werewolves then started discussing, and they finally decided on fighting the man. Which mean Shelia and I, along with the others, will target the woman.
I had Shelia inform Kayla and the others before the enemies arrive. They still walk casually in the forest and they don’t seem to be in a hurry.
I also look around the area in case there will be more enemies coming, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Just for recruiting members, having two artificial master level mages is already too much. Add the expert level mages, and it’s just too much for recruiting criminals.
Shelia has returned, and the enemies are already within sight.
“Hmm? Where are the others?” the man asked.
He must be asking about the other cult members here. Well, they are all killed.
I was about to answer, but Jack and two other werewolves quickly charged at the man to attack him.
Three at the same time? I thought it would just be one of them. Well, I will...
Wait! I was wrong! There are more people coming! Three more! Making it five mohawks!
“Three more incoming! Fight as you see fit!”
No more need for plans. The enemies are too close. Just the two in front of us can kill many already.
Now that they heard my warning, the others no longer need to hide and attacked the man and woman in front of us first.
“I will take care of this man!” Jack said.
“Just don’t die!” I said as I run to the sky with Shelia next to me.
Behind us, Angela is also flying. I need to get Angela to delay one enemy as long as possible.
“Angela! Go over there and fight the fatty mohawk! He’s alone, so you don’t need to worry about other enemies!” I said.
Angela then turned to the location I pointed to fight the fat mohawk. As for Shelia and I, we will face the one coming here by flying.
He’s obviously a wind mage. Since I’m afraid of what the cult will know if he escapes, I need to kill him. As for the other mohawks, I don’t think they will be as fast as this guy.
Let’s hope that he’s just a wind element mage, and doesn’t have other elements. And let’s kill him instantly.
“Shelia, don’t hold back! Go all out and kill him with one hit!” I said.
“Okay! Should we attack from distance?” Shelia asked.
“No. Attack him directly.”
I have fought artificial master level mages several times. And I know one of their weakness. It’s only something that any close combat fighter can do.
None of the artificial master level mage would expect that we will fight in close combat. No matter how much the Professor has increased their physical strength, none of the mohawks would think that they will be attacked from close range. Unless their enemies are monsters.
It’s because this is a world of magic. And no one knows that there’s other way to fight without using magic.
The artificial master level mage would notice us coming, but they won’t use any defensive magic right away. They prefer to watch and learn of their enemies first.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnd the human enemy they have fought, all of them were mages. They would use magic from distance and they won’t get too close to the enemy. That’s why the mohawks who are confident with their magic don’t need to raise their shield until their enemies started casting their magic.
Just like right now.
The man we are facing doesn’t even care that we are approaching as he continues flying toward our direction. He is waiting for us to cast our magic so he can defend himself.
But he will never sense our magic. Because we won’t use them! I can already use Air Steps without using air magic. Just purely with Aura.
I only use air magic for breathing right now. And it’s not even an offensive magic. As for Shelia, her magic is just her regeneration magic. Which help her heal herself. That’s why the enemy didn’t react to our appearances at all until we are too close to him.
As we finally reached within three meters of the mohawk, he finally stopped flying forward and just stay stationary in the air with his magic. But he didn’t use defensive magic. He must be thinking that we are here to ask him something.
And when Shelia and I are getting even closer, the mohawk finally noticed something wrong since we didn’t stop. I pulled Reizpear back with both hands, and Shelia pulled her arms back.
We attacked the mohawk together before he could even react. No matter how strong your body is, if you never experience any real fight, it will be useless.
Both Shelia and I attacked the mohawk diagonally as we made a huge cross scar on his body which killed him instantly. Though I just created one attack with my spear, it was considerably deeper than Shelia’s attack which left ten scars on the mohawk’s chest.
“That’s one down. Four more to go,” I said.
“What should I do?” Shelia asked.
“We will split up here. You will go check on the werewolves, while I go and check the others. As for Angela’s side, leave it for later,” I said as we split up in the sky.
Shelia returned back to where the werewolves are. Now that I didn’t fight the woman with mohawk, all the werewolves are facing two expert level mages at the same time. As long as they didn’t get killed in an instant, it should be fine.
For now, I will go and check our wind mages’ side. Shirley, Wendy, and Veronica are all there facing a mohawk with fire element.
Their wind is not strong enough. In fact, the wind got pushed back and made the fire bigger. They need someone from other elements to help them. That’s why I need to support them first.
As for Kayla and the others, they are still on the way. Though Sara already helped the three wind mages with her sniping skill.
If I’m going there, Kayla and the other doesn’t need to help. Let’s have them split up so they can help Angela or the werewolves.
