Chapter III MeleeTranslated by shovatranslations
The skeleton looked not to mention like high-level demons, it was not even a skeleton warrior. The entire skeleton was small; it was not even as big as a normal man. Its Bones were full of mottled traces of scars, especially in the most important part of the skeleton, its skull, there were several significant cracks. As for the ribs, its numbers were less than 20, perhaps some stray dog acted on it to save its life by making its food. The only difference is that there were two otherwise seems to be something like wings in the skeleton.
This is the creatures created by G.o.d’s essence?? Rogge"s jaw almost fell off; the skeleton looks should not be found in relation to the G.o.ds of heaven, isn"t enjoying the limitless glory of G.o.ds and the nature of the evil inherently different??
Rogge"s psychic force extends slowly and gradually and started to try to control, checking to see perhaps that this was the new breed of monster. Everything went smoothly in the process, but the skeleton appeared to be nothing special, except for its skull being bigger than the average. As the Fatigue hits him, Rogge knew that he had run out of Mana.
“Oh, no matter what, you were also my pet, from now on your name will be ‘love’.”
But it was not known how the skeleton and the love affair have to do with each other, Rogge uncommon the skeleton back to its world. And in the vanishing moments, Rogge seems to feel that it was bit depressed and discontent with the name. Kidding right, even the skeleton is depressed?
"I must be tired "I must have been too tired.
The next morning, Rogge summoned his pet three times in a row, until he exhausted all of his mana, Rogge finally accepted the fact that his pet was a skeleton.
Rogge meditated to replenish his mana, and by the time he woke up it was near dusk.
"It"s time to go and have a drink.”
"Oak Grove" bar was somewhat old, small in scale, and only three blocks away from the Magic Academy in the North. It was near the mercenary guild and trade union and because of this bar was flocked by the apprentice and mercenary soldiers. And ultimately and naturally by the hot girls and the girls who wants to catch a rich husband.
"Oh, isn"t that Rogge? Had not seen you for a long time, heard that you have made a about turn and have become a great magician?
Rogge looked and saw that it was Emmett; they once fought with each other to pick up a girl, the type of friend who was a bad influence.
Emmett stalwart, he was three years older than Rogge, his father was the cavalry captain of City Defense force, an intermediate knight, and had been giving Emmett the training since childhood to become a Knight, but somehow sent his son into the school of magic.
But Emmett still have some talent in magic, as he entered the magic Academy a year later than Rogge, and within six month was able to become Rank three magician, currently he was working to become a Rank four Magician.
Rogge went over to Emmett, sat there with out a word and picked up the gla.s.s and drank, and after a long time heaved a deep sigh. Table also had three other people and with a glance can tell that they are from the n.o.bility as they were wearing a rapier in their waist, commonly used by the n.o.bles. They were playing with two dancing girls.
Emmett grabbed Roger"s shoulder and said "I say man, these days you can be really boring. You have not being much playful. Why, which girl did not put you on? Huh! HA HA. Come on tell your elder brother all about it. But first let’s have a drink. Waiter, bring two bottles of tequila here.
Bar’s atmosphere gradually reached to a climax, and from time to time one could hear women’s scream and several loud burst of laughter.
"Come on, Brother Rogge, let me introduce to my friends…….. This is Lawrence. Count Bloom’s second son, this is Kate, his father is my father"s immediate superior. This is Franco; he is the nephew of Marquis Valorum. Emmett introduced them to Rogge.
"I say, that"s a good girl"
Florence was staring at corner of the bar. All in the table followed his gaze. Sitting on a table in the corner were four men and two women, they looked like mercenaries, and one of them was wearing a Magician’s dress. About 19 years old a girl, dressed in a seductive dress and short dark amour. Her white legs were exposed and in her legs there was a belt with three knifes. The bar had a dim light and it was not enough to see the specific color, but there was no doubt that the girl had a good curve. Her color was so low, a deep ditch could be seen where all the eyes almost fell in. however, a large sword beside her made several people sober a little. After all that large sword shows the strength of the that girl. Female warrior’s face was bright, long light brown wavy hair casually hung around freely
The girl sitting beside the female warrior looked to be a n.o.ble with her powered makeup. She only looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years of age. She was wearing a long skirt with frills, which was made with exquisite craftsmanship and quite a lot of precious material. The girl’s only jewelry seemed to be the pair of sapphire earrings.
Several people rude gaze was immediately noticed and the female Warrior turned back to stare. Seeing Lawrence whistling, Female warriors face turned cold and her hands reached to the hilt, but were pulled by the master. "Do not stir up trouble here, Chi Wei".
At this moment the bar quiets down and every one looked to the entrance of the bar. There was a man that was entering the bar; he had blonde hair, like the dazzling sun enough to make every one dejected. That blonde was comparable to the sun G.o.d’s handsome face which was engraved with an easy smile.
He was wearing armour with the gold chain that was decorated with complex magic runes. In the centre of the chest amour there was the patter of gold lion’s head adorned with a cross and tulips.
"Offie Roque! Of the Rhine alliance, why would he come here??”Low discussion sounded continuously. He was sent to the Holy Church of the light temple to receive guidance in his child hood, he only returned back tot eh Rhine alliance only half a year back. Offie Roque was one of the youngest of the three high Knights of the Temple of the Church, and showed early on the great military talent, plus born handsome and ill.u.s.trious brother, even out shining the Rhine alliance’s several princes.
Offie Roque was surrounded by woman as an iceberg, only less than half a head shorter than tall Roque. Her stunning face had no expression and she was wearing a rare black mage robe, her every steps seem to be like the black plumes of flames constantly swaying and unceasingly.
And the two guards behind the women were full of murderous intent as they went through the countless life and death situation from birth.
Roque’s party went up the stairs with out looking at anyone.
It took a long time for the bar to regain the usual loudness.
However, Rogge became restless in his heart, he didn’t know why but in the magnificent face of Roque he seems to see a pair of silver eyes.
"Bang!"
Beside Rogge the large gla.s.s burst open and all the drinks in it are spilled on the unsuspecting Rogge. However, Lawrence was more miserable as the broken gla.s.ses were pierced in his brows.
Rogge instinctly turned around to see the female warrior giving off the murderous aura and walking towards them and the four male mercenaries behind her moving into the battle stance.
The event that led to this situation was that as they kept on drinking, the alcohol and that female warrior, seem to have some extra effect on Lawrence as he kept on staring her and as the female warrior turned her back to them, he kept on laboriously pulling out the clothes from dancing girls and comparing the peaks of the dancing girls to the female warrior with his middle finger.
Then there came the gla.s.s thrown by the female warriors to the Lawrence that makes his forehead bloom.
For Rogge seeing the bar fight because of the girls is a very common sight and Rogge didn’t hesitate for brawl but these battled hardened mercenaries may not be the one that few of them could cope with.
Most of the time n.o.bles are hypocrite and p.r.o.ne to deceiving and they prefer to escape rather that facing the unwinnable situation. Rogge wants to escape there in the confusions but he stops himself and thinks thoroughly about the situation he is in. These friends that he is with are fairly rich n.o.ble, moreover they have got heavy background. And maybe getting beaten together with them may not be a bad thing and may help him to enhance the friendship with them.
Emmett is one of the oldest among them and has quite a few fighting experiences and he was the one to jump forward and start to chant the incantation immediately. However, he too had too many of drinks and he tries to incant the acid arrow but after chanting for a long time nothing happens.
However while this was happening the mercenary had already been in front of the Lawrence and the rest and soon three of them are already black and blue from the melee attack of the female warrior and the mercenary.
The female warrior seem to be especially vicious and she seem to be targeting to kick the vulnerable place between the legs of Lawrence and seeing that this attack will have not so good results, Lawrence tried to turn around to avoid that kick but that connected with this b.u.t.tocks and which sends him flying away from the fighting circle.
Seeing this, Emmett gives a loud shout and s.n.a.t.c.hed a sword from a nearby person and temporary revert back to his knight status.
Several mercenaries are pulling their punches because of their opponents are n.o.ble and they have to show some mercy. But Rogge whose mind was now clear quickly incant the magic missile and the two bold of light fly towards the male soldier. The soldier seeing this brings his sword in front of him to block that attack but Rogge uses his spiritual energy to control the attack and bend the missile missing the sword and direct to his face.
Magic missile are the most basic of the attack magic that a mage can use. Its power is quite limited but the soldiers face muscle is inferior to the armor of his body. Therefore face is bloodied, he staggered and fell down.
Another soldier seeing this immediately starts his sword technique ‘sprint’ which tripled the speed of the soldier. Rogge, frightened, was too late to cast magic missile, uses his spiritual force again and this time his target is the foot of the soldier. That soldier suddenly stumbled as he was tripped by the spiritual force in front of the Rogge, who pushed the table in front of the flapping soldier. The head of the soldier comes crashing down to the table as he is unable to control over his body because of the fast speed of the sword technique.
At the same time when the soldier was still in the daze, veteran (brawling) Rogge grab a helmet of the soldier and pulls it down as his knee comes upward and they connect in the middle and a click is heard, the nose of the soldiers was broken. Rogge physical transformation of the force at this time has been no small matter. The strength of the Rogge after the body transformations is quiet formidable now.
After Rogge dealing with two soldiers, the situation seems to be more or so manageable as the Kate who was known for his defense was exchanging blows with the female warrior and was attracting most of her attention and taking most of her offensive. Emmett and Franco on the other hand were dealing with the other guards.
At this point, Lawrence who have been hiding under the table who knows when, takes the sword and stabs the leg of the soldier and then turn around to cut the leg of the female warrior who was less than prepared for such circ.u.mstance is, but is saved as the sword strike is blocked by the daggers in her legs.
Till now the mercenary mage had not entered the fight, no one gave a thought about him. As he saw the situation worsening, the anger clouds his face he raises his finger and drew a symbol in the air and a blue transparent protective magic ‘ magic absorption’ covered his whole body. This Rank four magic can absorb 10 mana points from the magician and is one of most commonly used protecting magic spell. But Rogge had a very different understanding of magic. “d.a.m.n it, does the mage needed the protective cover?
The mercenary mage was preparing an attack spell and he was reciting the incantation fast, both of his hands were drawing complex magic runes in the air before him.
Rogge remembers that the “magic absorption” spell is unable to protect the user for the physical attacks; therefore he took up the gla.s.s of liquor and threw it towards the mage. The mage moves aside but because of there was not enough time to completely avoid it, his head was drenched with the wine. After wards several dishes of cooked food, a chair and even a table flies toward him. This interrupted the mage and his incantation is broken.
Before he could get angry, a figure rushed up to him, it was Rogge, every one knew that the mage and the distance is a very dangerous combination and so a rare melee between mage begins. Relying on the young and energetic and highly explosive remodeled body, Rogge quickly gained the upper hand.
On the occasion of female warriors back frightened, Emmett and Kate despite being wounded launched a desperate attack, fighting rogue momentum into full play. Female warrior quickly got the strike from two swords.
At this time, from the Street outside came the sound of hooves,
"City Defense Army came, let’s stop and scram, my old man can be serious!”
Kate shrieking up tries to stop Rogge with both hands. And Rogge separated from the mercenary and stands up and at the same time continently grabs the smooth staff and runs out of the bar from the back. Mercenary mage also knows that there is only female warrior is the only one that can be called a fighting force and that they cannot play tough and bitterly leaves. Rogge, who is not willing to deal with the defense force in this case fled in the hurry.
At this time in the room of the fourth floor of the tavern, Offie Roque was interestingly watching the Rogge who was rushing on foot.
“The Mage is very interesting ah” Roque said to himself.
“Erica, do you not think that he is, how should I say, you two are quite similar.”
“That mage is a disgrace to al the n.o.bility and mages” the ice like women said giving Rogge a last look.
“Oh, alright. Richard check the background of that mage.” Roque said to the guard behind him.
