Chapter 287 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Flame Power
Ding!!
The signal of the Adventurers Guild echoed throughout the whole city. Every adventurer heard this sound so they couldn"t help but look in the direction of the guild.
Bryan, Brando, and Cl.u.s.ter stopped moving as they heard the loud ringing sound.
"What"s happening, Brother?" Cl.u.s.ter asked with a worried expression.
"Monster tide...!" Brando muttered with a frown on his face.
"Oh, monster tide. I will be able to fight again." A wide smile formed on Bryan"s face.
Brando looked at Bryan and said, "Bryan we can"t go there with Cl.u.s.ter so we need to leave her in the legion first."
"Oh, right! I forgot about that! Don"t worry, Cl.u.s.ter!" Bryan said as he patted his chest.
...
"A monster tide... And from the sound of it, it seems that more than a thousand monsters appeared." Souta muttered as he silently circulates his mana around his body.
The Adventurers Guild was summoning all the adventurers in the city to help in clearing the monster tide in the South Gate.
Ding!!
Ding!!
Ding!!
Another alarm signal rang in another direction of the city.
"What?!"
Souta opened his eyes widely when he heard the alarm signal.
"Three alarm signal plus the signal before... This city is surrounded..." Saya"s voice sounded in his head.
"This is bad... There"s four monster tide. The North, South, East, and West Gate needed protection." Souta muttered and he looked around him.
The students were confused at the alarm sound. Some of them didn"t know the alarm of the Adventurers Guild while the others knew it. Slowly the words about the monster tides spread in the whole campus.
In just a short amount of time, almost everyone knew that countless monsters surrounded the entire city.
But then something worse happened...
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several explosions arose in the city. Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet vibrated and it made the buildings trembled heavily.
"What...?" Souta was stunned when he heard the deafening sound of explosions.
He then felt hundreds of souls went to his earring. It means that hundreds of people perished in those explosions.
"Just what the h.e.l.l is happening right now!"
...
Several people wearing black robes landed on the roof of the tall building in the city.
"We"re here..." Yuvn said in a low voice as he surveys the whole city with his own two eyes.
"Hehe~ let"s kill everyone." A crazed smile formed on Pavoni"s face.
"Disperse!" Yuvn said as he flashed towards the direction of the Ladro Inst.i.tute.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Five people followed him and four people went towards the sky. The remaining people went around the city before they used their skills and spells to cause destruction.
Huge fireball, hundreds of sharp ice, powerful winds, and lightning spears crashed around the city causing powerful explosions that killed hundreds of innocent people in an instant.
Boom! Boom!
This shook everyone in the city. The adventurers and the city guards gathered in the four gates of the city to clear the monster tide. So only a few city guards could check the explosions.
But before they could do that another batch of explosions occurred in different places in the city.
Boom! Boom!
All of them were seven-circle officers of the Seven Deadly Sins, one of the Bringer of Calamity. They were powerful people that reached SSS-rank and above.
The four seven-circle officers arrived one thousand meters above the Ladros City. Their powerful energy burst out of their body and every people in the city felt it. They felt the cold and chilly energy of the four officers in the sky.
All the B-rank and above instantly guessed the power of the invaders. They knew that a fierce battle will occur in this huge city.
Bargan, who was in the faculty room of the Ladro Inst.i.tute, tightly knitted his brows as he felt the powerful energy above the city. He exchanged glances with the other teachers before he burst out of the room and head straight into the sky.
The other teachers also went out to check what"s happening in the city. They couldn"t ignore those powerful explosions.
Swoos.h.!.+
Bargan opened his eyes widely as he saw a huge magic circle in the sky.
"That"s... A teleportation spell..."
He recognized the magic circle in the sky. He needed to stop it as he knew that these people were going to summon their comrades.
Suddenly, a ten-meter tall fireball appeared in front of him.
This surprised him but he quickly regained his posture. Using fire spells against him was no use. He was not called flame master if he couldn"t control this level of fire spell.
"Hmph!"
Bargan snorted and the giant fireball split into two. He didn"t have a time for this play as he had to stop those people from completing the teleportation circle.
He went past it but the two fireb.a.l.l.s exploded.
Boom!
The four people ignored the explosion as they continued to cast the teleportation circle. Their mana was flowing towards the huge magic circle above them.
Ohm!
The smoke disappeared and Bargan was standing in the mid-air without a scratch on his body.
"My guess is right. Those people that are casting the teleportation spell could cast that fireball." Bargan thought as he looked around him and saw six people wearing black robes around him.
"That robe... I recognize it." He said as he pointed at the person who looks like the leader of these people.
Yuvn, the leader of the seven-circle officer, opened his mouth and said, "Yes, we"re from the Seven Deadly Sins."
Boom! Boom!
Another batch of explosions occurred from the city. At the same time, powerful energies erupted in all directions.
Bargan glanced at the city and saw that the city became a battlefield. The subordinates of the person in front of him were fighting the teachers of the inst.i.tute and the forces of the city lord.
"I need to finish this as soon as possible." Bargan said inwardly as the powerful energy he hides in his body erupted like a volcano.
Boom!
Yuvn and the other seven-circle officer squinted their eyes as they saw the enormous amount of energy that Bargan was emitting.
"I can"t believe it. This guy is too powerful." Yuvn said as he felt like he was standing in front of a fierce predator.
He and the other seven-circle officers prepared themselves.
"Go."
Suddenly, the energy around Bargan turned into a sea of flames as he dashed towards the four mages in the sky.
Swoos.h.!.+
Two seven-circle officers appeared in front of Bargan. They shoot powerful beams at him.
"Tsk!" Bargan clicked his tongue and he controlled the flames around him.
The flames collided with beams and it caused a huge explosion.
Then, another two people appeared beside him. They were armed with sharp swords.
"Oh?" Bargan glanced at them and he waved his hands. The flames at his side flew towards the two people that shoot beams at him.
The two officers quickly created a barrier to protect themselves from Bargan"s flames.
Swoos.h.!.+
The two people beside Bargan slashed their swords at him.
Bang! Bang!
Their sword collided with the flame barrier around Bargan. Then, Yuvn threw a powerful punch behind Bargan.
But it was also blocked by flame barrier.
"d.a.m.n!" Yuvn gritted his teeth. Even his punch couldn"t pierce Bargan"s barrier.
"I will burn all of you," Bargan muttered in a cold tone. "One hundred percent flame power..."
The heat around him rose.
Yuvn opened his eyes widely as he shouted, "Retreat and protect yourself!"
Boom!
The swords of the officers melted before it turned into ashes. Not just their weapons, their clothes too started to turn into ashes.
Yuvn and the other seven-circle officers retreated as they covered their bodies with their mana. At the same time, the two officers above them casted buff spells to increase their defense and attack.
The flame barrier around Bargan expanded.
Yuvn and the others drunk fire resistance potions before creating a barrier around them to protect themselves from the expansion of Bargan"s flame barrier.
"s.h.i.+t!!"
Their skins were slowly being burned even though they have barriers around them. With their powerful bodies, they could even leisurely swim in a pool of magma but Bargan"s flame was on a different level.
"Five thousand degrees celsius..."
[Scorching Day Sun]!
A cold voice sounded in the whole area as the seven-circle officers saw Bargan standing in a fifty-meter ball of flame.
This guy just turned an orange-grade weapon into ashes...
...
Souta was looking at the fight above the city with a serious expression. The people that were attacking the city were the Seven Deadly Sins.
From their energy, Souta could guess that they were seven-circle officers. This level of officer was extremely bad.
Four people one thousand meters above and six people were fighting Bargan. That"s already ten. Also, the people were fighting the teachers around the city.
Souta"s expression was getting worse as he realized what"s happening. The only officers that could command this number of seven-circle officers were those that possessed the blessing of their lord, the Deadly Sins.
But he didn"t care about that because he knew how powerful Bargan. He was worried about how many seven-circle officers that have blessings were here.
...
The city lord was looking at the battle in the sky with a gloomy look. He could clearly see what"s happening in the battle.
"Bargan is holding back. This entire city is holding him back. He is controlling the heat so that no civilian would turn into ashes."
That was the reason why the people below couldn"t feel the heat of Bargan"s flame. He was fighting those seven-circle officers and at the same time, he was controlling his powers so that no innocent people would die.
Ordinary people would turn into ashes if Bargan fought without minding his surrounding.
