Chapter 136： A Naturally Gifted Combat Prodigy

Chapter 136: A Naturally Gifted Combat Prodigy

The news about the talentless mage transitioning into a knight couldn't be kept hidden any longer, causing Charlotte to feel a bit flustered.

However, since he had chosen to take action tonight, exposure was unavoidable.

Originally, he had wanted to quietly ascend to godhood and stun the world. Little did he expect that tonight, he would embarrassingly detonate lightning in front of everyone.

"Just a beginner knight apprentice, hardly worth mentioning," Charlotte looked at Diana sincerely and said.

"Knight apprentice?" Diana smiled, clearly disbelieving.

"Do you think a knight apprentice can create afterimages? Can pierce through a Level 4 hyena's head with a single sword thrust? Can stuff a fireball spell into a wolverine's mouth?"

"That's right, I am a naturally gifted combat prodigy, that's me," Charlotte nodded earnestly.

Diana burst into laughter, seemingly struck by Charlotte's words, and it took her a while to calm down.

"Let me guess, you also dabbled in magic and martial arts from a young age? Being a prodigious physician from the Calva Medical College, becoming a 4th-tier healing mage at the age of twenty, and yet finding time to practice as a knight?"

After a moment's thought, Charlotte realized that this was a reasonable explanation and sighed with emotion. "It's just a hobby, to keep fit and healthy. Never thought it would become a means of survival one day."

Diana fell silent. If it had been according to his original life trajectory, there was really no need for him to fight desperately against magical beasts, but unfortunately...

"You saved a Fox guard and saved Baka Street. On behalf of the Harriman family, I express my gratitude to you."

Charlotte looked at her with anticipation but said, "The Fox guard has also saved me many times. It's only right to return the favor."

Diana flipped her hand, revealing two dark red orbs in her palm.

"What are these?"

"The demon cores of those two hyenas, a token of appreciation." Diana explained, "The core of the one you killed exploded along with its head."

"You're too kind," Charlotte accepted the demon cores with a tinge of regret.

"Do demon cores always grow inside their heads? Does that mean they can't be exploded if you want to collect them?"

"Most demon cores grow inside their heads, but some grow near the heart, like the Level 5 cheetah you killed tonight. Its core was located near the heart," Diana answered.

"Level 5 magical beast?" Charlotte exclaimed in surprise as he looked at Diana.

"Just how many magical beasts are attacking the Abyss tonight?"

"It's more than usual, but our Abyss has unique terrain, so there won't be large-scale hordes."

Diana smirked, "Calva is quite lively. When you look at the Abyss entrance, the protective shields light up everywhere, and there are magnificent bursts of magic everywhere."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte couldn't help but be amazed. It seemed that tonight's magical beast tide was truly extraordinary.

"However, after tonight, we should discuss with the Duru and Daniel families about installing magical shields at the Abyss entrance," Diana's smile faded, and her expression turned serious.

"There are more than a dozen magical beasts entering the Abyss tonight. We've cleared them from the Harriman territory, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to assess the damage and casualties caused by the other magical beasts."

Charlotte's heart sank as well. It seemed that many escaped monsters had entered the abyss tonight, and he wondered how many people had fallen prey to their jaws.

Tova Street used to be owned by the Jardson family, but now it was probably given to the Duru family. With a territory that had just been taken over, the guards wouldn't be as tight, leading to half of the street being devoured.

"Agatha, go get Eileen. I am also a physician, but it's not convenient for me to perform the treatment right now. With her help, it should be enough." Charlotte spoke up.

"Alright, I'll go right away." Agatha agreed and quickly left.

Soon, Vivian rushed in, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Charlotte covered in blood. "Boss, please don't die..."

"I'm not dead yet." Charlotte rolled her eyes. The girl's reaction was too dramatic.

"But your face and body are covered in blood. You must be seriously injured." Vivian continued sobbing.

"That's all monster blood. I just broke a few bones and need your help to treat me."

Charlotte explained, and with a secretive wink, he added, "The blood on my face is fake."

Vivian was taken aback and reached out to wipe the blood from Charlotte's face. She indeed couldn't see any wounds, which eased her worry a bit.

She quickly nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get the potions for you."

"Agatha, you and the guards should leave first. I'll assist the boss with the treatment."

Agatha nodded and left with the fox guards.

"Use Healing Magic. I have to open for business tomorrow, so I need to be able to move."

Charlotte watched Vivian searching for the potions and said helplessly.

"Okay."

Vivian took out her magic wand and began to chant a spell in a low voice.

Threads of green light flowed into Charlotte's body guided by the magic wand. He could clearly feel his broken bones slowly mending and his injuries being rapidly healed.

It felt like soaking in a comfortable bathtub, warm and soothing, with all the pain disappearing.

"Boss, did you blow yourself up with a fireball again?" Vivian put away her magic wand and looked at Charlotte, who sat up.

She couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What do you mean by blowing myself up? I was just being heroic." Charlotte protested strongly, glancing at his clothes full of holes, sighing lightly.

The losses had increased once again.

"Did you really encounter monsters tonight?"

"Of course. If I had stayed in the alchemy room, I wouldn't be covered in blood or have a few broken bones."

"You're so brave." Vivian gave him a thumbs-up, looking admiringly.
