Chapter 232 232: Joining Hands

"J-just you wait! Our Metal Sword Tribe will make you wish that you rather die on the claws of magic beasts!" The leader of the 'delegates' said with a face flush with anger

He was expecting the Waterside Tribe to treat him with the utmost respect as the representative of the Metal Sword Tribe but what happened was the exact opposite of that

Not only they did not treat him with respect, they even threw out tons of curse words at him. As someone that is also hot-blooded, if not for the fact that his side is currently outnumbered, he might have attacked the people of Waterside Tribe already

After saying something that only third-rate villains would say, the 'delegates' made a 'tactical retreat' but they hadn't stepped out for long when they suddenly saw several groups of people approaching them

Based on the Resonance Gems hanging on the vine belt of these people, they actually came from different tribes

There was the Windy Tribe, Fire Force Tribe, Rock Wrath Tribe, and Nature Lover Tribe. These four tribes are the tribes that Rezen attacked while only using metal-type magic

They are the key to saving the Waterside Tribe!

With Rezen killing the people of these tribes personally while framing the Metal Sword Tribe, the most likely outcome would be these tribes joining hands to eradicate a common enemy

With how hot-blooded tribal people are, death could only be repaid with another death!

"Bastards of the Metal Sword Tribe? Hahaha! Good! Good! You are in time, my anger will temporarily subside by killing you!"

Suddenly, someone from the Fire Force Tribe spoke while laughing. However, his laughter was not that of pure delight. It was mixed with anger

This person does not have a Resonance Gem tied on his waist and Rezen could guess the identity of this person

"Considering that he don't have a Resonance Gem and his status is obviously higher than the rest with him, he should be a Junior Mage"

Only a Junior Mage wouldn't require the aid of Resonance Gems to perform magic

"Kill me?! Do you know who you are talking to?! I am a close friend of Collosam, one of the twin genius of our tribe that reaches the Juni—!"

The tactless bastard tried to repeat what he had said earlier but he was cut off by the Junior Mage

"Who cares who you are? One of the victims of your tribe is my son! I won't rest until I kill all of you bastards, scums, and bitches of the Metal Sword Tribe!"

The Junior Mage that clearly has a short fuse smiled maniacally as he raised his hand until it reaches his chest

Almost instantly, his mana was controlled by him and on top of his palm, fiery energies gathered into a small ball

"A-a Junior Mage!" The tactless bastard muttered in shock. Only now did he realizes the identity of the other party

But even then, considering that the Metal Sword Tribe has the most number of Junior Mages amongst the nearby tribes, they have a superior hand

The tactless bastard also thinks that soon, his tribe annexed the Waterside Tribe, and one or two Junior Mages might surrender and become part of his tribe. When that time comes, his tribe would become even stronger

Even if the other party is a Junior Mage, there is no need to be afraid!

"Hmph, so what if you—" once again, before he could finish his words, he was cut off. But this time, it was not as simple as the previous time

"Hahahaha! Burn! Taste my fire!" The Junior Mage stretched his right hand out while laughing loudly before the surrounding temperature rose

The ball of fiery energy expands into tongues of flames that engulfed a considerable range. The range was more than enough to cover the tactless bastard along with his entourage

"Aahhh!!"

"Hot!"

"P-please no!!!"

"H-help!!!"

Cries of pain and call for help rang but it didn't take that long before they vanished. In just a matter of seconds, five people that were previously still haughty and arrogant were burned to death

The flames of a Junior Mage, how could apprentice mages possibly endure it?

In fact, a barrier even appeared to protect the people of the Waterside Tribe as they might become collateral damage

"Flamaz, that's enough. I don't want any of my people dying because of you" the Chief's voice entered everyone's ears and only then did Flamaz's palms stopped releasing flames

"Tsk, I planned on turning them into ashes!" Flamaz said in dissatisfaction as the burned corpses of five people fell down with a 'thud'

These five were already in an unrecognizable state. Even their mothers wouldn't be able to tell them apart

Their entire bodies, including their faces, were simply too burned for anyone to possibly recognize any of them

"Anyway, Chief! How are you? What a good day it is today! We are here to join hands with you and kill some bastards. I won't forgive any trash from the Metal Sword Tribe. All of them will die from my flames!" Flamaz said as if that was a simple thing

His lips were smiling but his eyes were glowing with a tinge of insanity and there is only one word that Rezen would describe him with

"Madman... he's simply a madman. It's better if I don't associate myself with him" Rezen thought while tactfully taking steps backward

Still, what he was waiting for has finally arrived. The people from the other nearby tribes have gathered to eradicate the Metal Sword Tribe!

If this was on earth, even if they have a great numerical advantage, the best they would do was to suppress the Metal Sword Tribe and forced them to give up some benefits. But here, they directly resorted to eradicating an entire tribe

There was no need for discussion, everyone agrees that the Metal Sword Tribe must be erased today! None was thinking otherwise!

They are simple and efficient!

Since the Waterside Tribe can't simply send everyone and leave their homes, they asked the others to wait for Stone Head first

The tribe couldn't be left without a Junior Mage but at the same time, Stone Head is needed to destroy the Metal Sword Tribe as he is a mage that grasped a formal spell

The Chief and Stone Head would join with the people of the other tribe while Skinny Yan would be left here to guard the tribe

Fortunately, everyone knew the strength of Junior Mages that learned a magic spell and they don't have anything against waiting for Stone Head, except for one of them

"How long should we wait? I can't wait to burn all those metal bastards to death! I'll make sure that not even miracles could save them!" Flamaz complained and the others simply tried to ignore him as they are more or less aware of his personality

He was more aggressive compared to others even though most tribal people are already very aggressive

"Flamaz and Burning Fist for the Fire Force Tribe"

"Left Wind and Right Wind for the Windy Tribe"

"Rockim from the Earth Wrath Tribe"

"Weaver from the Nature Lover Tribe"

"And lastly, Chief and Stone Head from the Waterside Tribe. This lineup should be more than enough to destroy the Metal Sword Tribe, right?"

The Metal Sword Tribe has five Junior Mages currently present at their tribe while we have eight on our side. Considering that the Waterside Tribe alone already has two mages that could cast magic spells, their advantage should be more than enough for the job

Unless no miracle occurs, no doubt that the Metal Sword Tribe is at their mercy. Also, aside from the Junior Mages, some apprentice mages would also accompany them but they played more of a supportive role

They are not to approach the battlefield too closely and their main job is to prevent anyone from the Metal Sword Tribe from fleeing as suggested by Chief

That suggestion benefits Rezen a lot since he planned on fishing on troubled waters. He hopes that the Metal Sword Tribe has a treasure that would help him fully recover his farm, his beloved cheat!

"Chief, I want to ask you something. What is that?" Weaver from the Nature Lover Tribe asked curiously while pointing his finger at the potato farm that the Waterside Tribe has built

The Chief became troubled about how to answer that and he unconsciously turned to look at Rezen

If it was her, she would simply use the potato farm knowledge to gain the help of the other tribes but Rezen objected to that

Although the Chief is stronger than Rezen even though he already gained his magic, she is still aware of the feat that the man has committed especially when killing the people of the other tribes

It was normal for her to put Rezen in high regard and she unconsciously looked at him when she doesn't know what to answer on Weaver's question
