Chapter 722

Chapter 722: I Became the Arm-Ripper

Derek flies toward the other building while Kayla was being carried by two vampire girls to follow Derek. I think those four are enough over there.

But the enemies here in the church won’t just let them move around freely. So it’s my job and the rest of us here to stop them from blocking Kayla and the vampires since Derek has flown really fast and get there first.

Derek will have some problem if there are any master level mage there, but it’s fine. Kayla is a healer. And she’s strong enough to fight a master level mage as well.

Over here, we have angels as healers and attackers as well. They can use their spears to fight or shoot Light Beam magic from distance.

Some of the angels seem to be about to evolve into archangels like Graham. So they can evolve, huh?

I could see on their back, where their wings are rooted, that there are some extra roots where wings will most likely sprout. Do wings grow like some kind of plant?

If we can have more archangels with us, that would be great. I hope they will still follow me. Or at least Graham. Let’s see if they can evolve first. Should I bring them to more battle?

.....

Angela is going wild and attacked those she thought as master level mages. or maybe she didn’t think at all and it’s just her instinct.

Anyway, Angela easily targeted those who might be stronger than average. Veronica just focused on fighting while protecting the soldiers. And I’m looking directly at the mage flying in the sky who used powerful earth magic before.

He’s also looking at me. Seems like he’s really the strongest one here since Angela wanted to fight him. But the other master level mages stopped her from approaching him.

Right. That’s what you get when you try to fight other enemy before your previous enemy got killed.

“She’s the champion of the tournament! Kill her!”

Oh, seems like her fame got to this village in the middle of nowhere. I guess since this village is involved with slave trading, there should be someone who work as peddler to transport the slaves to other cities. And the people here heard the news about Angela from the peddler, or they are newly recruited in this place and have watched Angela fought before.

I don’t need to worry about her. She can handle it on her own.

I have a lot of experience fighting master level mages now. And the master level mages from the cult are not experienced in fighting since they focus more on cultivating their level. And that’s not their only weakness.

They have another weakness. Which I could say as the biggest weakness they have even though they should be members of the cult that doesn’t care about people’s lives including their owns.

That’s right. They are afraid of using the ultimate magic strong enough to destroy everything.

Back then, when Veronica was fighting Celestine before Celestine joined us, Celestine could even create a huge earthquake and destroy the ground. While Veronica can cut down a part of the forest with her magic. And they were just expert level mages without many fighting experience.

From that and the experience of fighting the cult I have, I can say that they are looking down on us even after everything that happened. Even when none of us are master level mage. Except for Derek this time.

They were looking down on us and didn’t expect us to be so strong. So they think that just using smaller scale magic would be enough to defeat us. But that’s very wrong. And they only realized that near the end of their breath.

If the master level mages truly think that we’re not worth using their full power, that’s a huge mistake. They should have do what they do best. Ignoring their own people and kill everyone.

Using a large scale magic here would kill most of us right away. The enemy should know that. But because of their lack of experience, they didn’t do that and thought that they should be able to defeat us by using numbers.

And that’s how we get into this situation. Where Angela, the strongest expert level mage in the world, who should be easily killed by master level mage if they were serious, can be equal in a fight against several master level mages at once.

And it’s also thanks to our experience in fighting them as well. Maybe everyone subconsciously knows that the enemies will hold back. And even when the enemies started to get serious, our side can somehow protect themselves before going for the kill.

That one moment when the enemy thinks that they can win, that will be their doom.

And just as I thought of that, Angela had just killed two master level mages with only using wind magic so far. She hadn’t used her other elements.

“Do not hold back! Kill everyone here even if you have to! Including yourselves! If you let any of the enemy survive, they will only get stronger!”

Oh, the master level mage that I’m still watching out for knows. Seems like this will truly be difficult for us.

“Sigh... I guess I need to kill you as soon as possible,” I said.

“Try it if you can.”

Right as soon as he said that, I shot a Blobbygun at his direction. With my strongest sharp bullet, infused with Aura. Like before when I killed the shocked master level mage.

But this one react too quickly. I thought that the mages from the cult will lack experience. But this one seem to have more experience in battle than most.

But that doesn’t mean that he was left unscathed after I shot him. The bullet didn’t pierce his body. But it did hit his right forearm as he was trying to dodge it.

The bullet blows away his right hand. Leaving his right arm only to the elbow.

But he didn’t even scream. He just grunted.

Instead of screaming in pain and panicked, he cast healing magic on his own arm. So he reached master level in wind and earth element, and he’s also a healer. His healing level is probably around advanced level. Good enough to stop the bleeding in his missing hand.

By the way, this is the second time I ripped someone’s arm in one day. The summoner, and this guy. Will I be called as Arm-ripper?

“...I heard about it. Using that weapon as a tool for air mage to shoot powerful projectile. You’re an air mage. Even more, you’re much stronger than that woman in that stupid tournament,” he said calmly.

“I was the one who taught her about it. Though I was also taught by someone else. By the way, she’s already a better air mage than I am. Though it’s true that my shot was much stronger and faster than hers,” I praised Sara who is not even here.

“You seem to be the leader of this bunch of people. And seeing how the portal opened without the summoner who should be here, I guess you’re also a summoner. Just having air magic and summoning element shouldn’t be enough to make you the leader of someone who won that stupid tournament and dubbed as the strongest mage. It means you have something that no one else had. Are you the Aura user?” he asked me after summarizing everything he saw.

“You are correct, Mr. Detective. I also heard that everyone here is involved with slave trading business. So you have no choice but to be killed by us,” I said.

He’s still looked calm even after hearing all that. Maybe it’s because of his experience. He might be in a high position in the cult and maybe his age is already over a hundred years old.

“Aura user. I have one more question for you.”

“What is it? Do you think that there’s a need for me to answer your question before we start killing each other?”

I tried to provoke him. But he still didn’t flinch.

“The summoner who should be the only one who could open a portal here. Where is he?”

“Why do you need to know that?” I asked back.

“He’s my son.”

That’s his son? Well, I don’t really care.

“As long as he behave, he won’t get eaten by werewolves. He’s alive at least,” I said.

“Is that all?” he didn’t believe me at all.

“Well...”

Before I could say anything, someone tried to kill me. I dodged his weak Ice Spike, approached him, and easily ripped his arm from his body. I really did became the Arm-ripper.

“This is how easy it is for me to kill anyone. I’m an Aura user. My body is already much stronger than yours who got stronger because you raised your level in magic. I trained it. You should know how easy it is already for you to kill anyone just in a physical fight. Well, it’s much easier for me. Ripping someone’s limbs, breaking their bones, or simply punched someone to their death. Also, we have destroyed everything in that base in the other world. Your son’s life is in our hand,” I said.

“...Sigh. Well, once a disappointment will always be a disappointment. You’re free to kill him later. But only if you can stay alive!”

Now the fight begins. He’s different than other master level mages. I need to focus and must not let down my guard here.
