Chapter 929

I took my sword and stored it in my ring. Seeing that I disarmed myself, the woman began to breathe easier. I had wiped out over a quarter of her forces in moments, so she was clearly alarmed. Furthermore, her sister and her sister’s knights hadn’t shown themselves. If she lost any more men, it would become impossible to be able to keep them in the cave. That was, assuming they were in the cave. Wouldn’t it be a joke if she sacrificed the lives of so many men just to harass a powerful and crazy stranger?

“Good, you have some sense in you!”

I did a Teleport, instantly transporting away just like if I had used Return. However, Teleport could be used in combat and directed toward any place I wanted. Where I chose to appear was behind them. Since they never imagined I could just disappear like that, the group didn’t turn around to face me.

A normal Blue Mage would never be able to use Teleport like I just did. Even I downed a mana potion right after just to make sure I didn’t run out. It was extremely mana using. However, the mana was very thick here, and thus mana regeneration was faster too. Furthermore, I had five jobs compounded on top of each other, all with mana and magic bonuses. My highest had already hit level 56. If it wasn’t for the level boosts I got upon completing dungeons, then White Mage would have been my highest level job.

I already had Silent Casting with Intermediate Magician, so I didn’t need to say anything, thus, when I cast Incineration, they had no warning until the heat-blasted them from behind. Two men were engulfed in the flames immediately as the others dived away.

“He’s behind us!” Nerissa shouted the obvious, spinning around.

At that point, I cast several wind blades. I managed to kill one knight, but the others only struck armor, causing them to crack in various places.

“He’s a mage! Rush him!” She ordered.

Nerissa continued to act swiftly. She didn’t rush forward as she ordered them. Instead, she pulled out a bow and arrow, and without missing a beat, shot it directly at me. I didn’t bother to move, using Phase Shift and allowing her arrow to pass right through me. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

“Who is this guy?” She shouted.

As she distracted me, she gave the remaining thirteen knights time to rush me. I cast Blinding Light, and all of them were stunned and blinded by the unexpected spell. I grabbed the closest man and teleported again.

By the time their eyes recovered, blinking weakly, they saw that I was no longer there. Nerissa spun around quickly, not intending to fall for the same trick twice. She turned just in time to find me absorbing the knight in my hand. I had already shifted my jobs again and I was now sucking out the knight’s mana and life force. With the support of the dungeon, it happened much quicker. He was already too weak to fight back, and in another minute, he’d be a desiccated corpse.

“Don’t let him make another attack!  Full force!”

With only twelve knights remaining, they all began to activate skills at once, intending to overwhelm me. I tossed the unconscious guard aside. That was the level I was at. I hadn’t depended on the dungeon yet, just my own skills. In fact, I was delaying for time as the dungeon continued to consume the mana, which was flowing in like a vacuum. I was able to engage a group of twenty, and through tactics, whittle away twelve.

With how they were attacking me now, it’d be difficult to repeat it. As I was, I would likely fall, maybe taking another half of them out in the process. However, I was supported by the dungeon now. It was time for phase 3.
