]"Eh, what are you up to? Admit defeat! Or do you plan to go back on your words?!" Ye Chui spoke with a hint of teasing.
Guthem glanced at the magic scrolls floating around his body and smiled callously, "Magic scrolls? I heard that you defeated Carrey, the disgrace of the City Lord"s Guard, using these, but do you actually think the magic scrolls will be effective against me?"
*Bang!*
After Guthem spoke his piece, a magic scroll floating beside his face was activated and flames started spewing out of the magic scroll in all directions, engulfing Guthem"s figure inside a sea of fire.
However, Guthem was unlike Carrey, the piece of trash. He was able to feel the movement of energy within the magic scroll at the instant when the scroll was activated. Hence, at that moment, he turned his body to a side and did a nimble backflip, evading the attack of the blazing flames.
However, there were a few strands of hair on a side of his head that were not spared from the flames, as a burnt stench could be noticed.
Ye Chui"s attack made Guthem enraged and he roared, "You must be courting DEATH!"
As he let out a loud scream, he held up his long sword high into the air, preparing to strike down Ye Chui with one ferocious attack.
After a *Ziz* was heard, a lightning scroll was activated directly above him.
It seems as though a lightning flashed through the bright sky.
And Guthem happened to be holding his long sword high in the air…
Therefore, strikes after strikes of lightning pa.s.sed through his body by the "lightning rod" at a high speed. Everything happened too fast for Guthem to even react to the situation. In the next instant, Guthem"s flowing hair exploded into a mess, while his face was burnt black.
Ye Chui was immediately delighted upon witnessing that scene. [You deserve to be struck by lightning wearing something like that.]
However, Guthem was a level four Swordsman, who has a muscular physique and strong body. Although Ye Chui"s magic scrolls had been modified to make it four times stronger, Guthem was unfortunately not fatally wounded. Instead, it simply made him angrier. He showed off a grin, trying to cool down his anger as he spoke, "Good. It seems that you do have the skills to humiliatingly defeat Carrey, that piece of rubbish. But I am not Carrey. Let"s see just how many more magic scrolls can you continue using?!"
"Many." Ye Chui cunningly replied as he opened his magic gown - there were numerous small pockets sewn on the insides of the magic gown and there were magic scrolls in every pocket. Judging from the number of pockets, there were at least a few dozen magic scrolls in his gown.
"…" Guthem turned speechless.
"Enough!" Alfea finally regained her senses and quickly rushed between the two. Calming herself down with a deep breath, she coldly looked at Guthem and asked, "Where do you think this is?!"
It was obvious from Guthem"s facial expression that he was holding in his rage. However, he dared not rashly attack Alfea. Although she is a mere level five Swordsman and was only 15 or 16 years old, he knew that she was a talented Swordsman. Even if there were three of him, he would still not be her match. Furthermore, they were inside of City Lord"s Manor.
Even at a disadvantage, he was still reluctant to let go. Staring coldly at both Ye Chui and Debbie, before shifting his gaze to his crying little brother on the floor, who had no strength to stand, he clenched his teeth in tolerance.
"Guthem, if you dare to continue this farce, then I will ensure that you will not live to see tomorrow." Balmain suddenly arrived beside Guthem and pulled out two tall and slender daggers, before placing one at his neck, and the other at the artery on his thigh.
Since Balmain was a well acclaimed Dual Swordsman, Guthem had no choice but to give in. Finally, he managed to constrain his anger and returned his long sword to the side of his waist. Raising both hands, he gave a defeated smile while speaking, "I"ve made a mistake. How would I dare to cause such trouble within the City Lord"s Manor?"
Balmain slowly withdrew his daggers and placed them back to his waist. He then looked at Ye Chui with a face full of surprise.
However, Balmain was not the only one who was impressed with Ye Chui. Alfea, Athol, Damon, as well as another swordsman also had surprised looks on their faces, as they looked towards Ye Chui. Earlier on, Debbie, who had taken down Bolton with an unimaginable style, already left them in deep shock. But, they were even more impressed with Ye Chui, who was a level two Magician. If they were to consider the rumours between Carrey and Ye Chui, it was obvious that Carrey"s defeat was true. Even they themselves, now felt that retreat would be a more viable option when confronting a magic scroll master like Ye Chui.
Noticing that there was no longer any danger, he waved his magic wand, causing those scrolls that were floating in the air to fly back into his pockets. Even this simple move was shocking to the ma.s.ses, as they had never seen someone so skilled with the magic spell, .Ye Chui looks towards Debbie and asked, "Are you okay?"
"I"m fine… Just a little tired…" Debbie replied as she stabbed her great sword into the ground. With both hands holding onto the grip, she also looked at Ye Chui with astonishment. She thought to herself, [In the past, Hammer would always hide behind me when something went wrong. But now, it seems that he has changed…]
[Of course, he has changed for the better!]
(Silavin: For money making?)
Debbie returned a sweet smile to Ye Chui.
Ye Chui turned around and smiled at Alfea, "So is Debbie allowed to join in your adventure now?"
"Of course." Alfea nodded with a smile as well, "I have not seen such a Great Swordsman like her before. Having her on my team would be such an honour."
Debbie immediately pumped her fist up in excitement.
"Since the eight members of our team have been confirmed, Little Brother, I will introduce everyone to you." Balmain said.
Ye Chui already knew Athol and Damon.
Guthem, the level four Swordsman was beside his depressed younger brother, who was still crying. He took a look at Ye Chui with cold and cloudy eyes but did not say anything.
As for the other swordsman at the scene, he was known as Bill; a level four Swordsman.
Since this was considered as a personal adventure, the team members were recruited by choice. Therefore, there were City Lord Guards such as Athol and Balmain, while the rest were mainly from the Mercenary Guild.
After the introduction, the servant, who brought Ye Chui and Debbie to the garden, took the injured Bolton away.
On the other hand, Ye Chui was baffled as once he did a head count, he noticed that there were only seven people present. Therefore, he asked, "Where is the eighth person?"
"That person is a Magician." Alfea spoke with a smile. "He seemed to be busy as of late. So, he didn"t manage to come today. However, I can give you an introduction of him now. He is Stan City"s most talented young Magician. He is the son of the Magician Guild Master, Oberth."
