Chapter 342: A mother and Her Two Sons Are Stronger Than Expected
It was a long minute.
Since Luna saw the future, we quickly prepared for it. I get Albert, Harold, Jill, and Luna transported to Ca.s.sau where I transported Bernard"s wife to just a few moments ago. As for the rest, we will fight.
Fabio is stronger than Bernard. At least that"s what the two recognized. And Carmen is an expert level mage. We will fight whoever coming.
And I can see three people coming. Two of them are flying, and one of the two is carrying one man. They must be the one who were sent to kill Bernard and Jill.
Since we"re going to show them that Bernard is increasing his power, we will have to make sure that we are capable. We have to kill them all if possible.
And as the fake king received information about Bernard"s sudden growth, Harold and the others will help Bernard to grow.
"Spot! Wait for my signal, and then you can fight them with us!" I said.
"Oh! You"re letting me fight? That"s great." Spot is excited to get an action.
"Yes, but you must not say anything. And they have to think that you are Carmen"s summon. Carmen, do you understand?" I asked Carmen this time.
"I see! You want to make it as if I"m the one making the breakthrough previously, and escaped here pretending to be under Bernard"s protection. Understood. I just need to pretend to give Spot some order, right?" Carmen asked.
"That"s right. Soon, they will destroy the whole mansion. Get close to me. Victoria will be our shield." I gave the order.
I focused my Divine Vision to the surrounding. According to Luna"s Future Vision, the mansion will be destroyed altogether. No fire, no lightning, and the building just got destroyed. Which mean it"s highly likely that the magic that will destroy this place is an earth magic.
And to be that strong, one should be at least an expert level mage in their earth element. Let"s a.s.sume that all three of them are expert level mage.
And then, as I expected, the one carrying someone dropped the man, and that person is casting an earthquake magic. But this is less powerful than Celestine"s. Though it"s more than enough to destroy the mansion.
The mansion got destroyed. Some servants caught under the rubbles, and died. But some still survived. As for us, I had Victoria protect us.
"Alright. Soon, the earthquake will over. Carmen and Spot will fight those who are flying. There are two of them. If they try to escape, and already too far, don"t bother chasing after them. It"s fine to let them leave, but killing them all will gain us more time. Spot, don"t use your breath attack. As for the expert level earth mage, Bernard and Fabio will fight him together. I will support you from afar." I said.
"Us? Really?" Bernard asked.
"Yes. Fabio, you will need to disguise your hair. Wear this." I gave him a Blobby which transformed into a wig on top of his head, and hides the color of his hair.
"And Bernard, I know you"re weak, but I don"t know how weak you are. We have given you the instruction of magic control, and you should have improved a lot, right?" I asked Bernard.
"Yes. Although my level didn"t improve, I"m much stronger than the time I pick a fight with everyone." Bernard said.
Did he really pick a fight with everyone? Well, that"s not important now.
"Good. As soon as the earthquake stopped, we will move. Carmen will ride on Spot"s back and fly to the sky, and you two will follow me from behind as I clear the rubbles blocking us." I said.
It will be difficult for them to see me using physical strength plus Aura to destroy the rubbles. They might sense that we are moving in a straight line, but they will just think that we are using magic because they will be occupied by Spot"s appearance.
But seriously, did they really planning to kill Jill"s a.s.sistant as well? Wasn"t he a cult member? I guess they really don"t care about their own life.
Or maybe that a.s.sistant would have killed everyone with poison, and escape before destroying the mansion. They are too dangerous as expected.
And then, the earthquake stopped.
I can"t waste too much time to surprise the enemies, so we have to move now.
"Now!" I shouted.
Just like I said, Spot flew with Carmen on his back. They will be fighting two enemies. As for me, with Victoria as a huge shield, I broke through the obstacles with the two princes behind me. I will see their growth after learning magic control as I supported everyone with my sniping skill.
"What the-!"
As expected, the earth mage didn"t expect us to survive. He was shocked to see a huge serpent suddenly ascending with a woman on its back. And this is when I will attack first.
As soon as the obstacles are cleared, I quickly transformed Victoria into a rifle, and shoot the mage on his leg. That"s enough to stop him from escaping.
"Aaah!" The mage falls over as the two princes casted fire magic together. But that mage still managed to block the fire with am Earth Wall he built in haste. Though the wall destroyed soon after.
Hearing the mage screaming, the two flying mages above looked over here for an instance. That slight distraction is what gets one of the two got swallowed by Spot.
…that"s too fast. One of them is down already. I guess all of them will die here.
Well, I no longer need to support Carmen and Spot. They are enough to kill the other mage. As for the other two… it will take time, but they are going well. especially after I wound the enemy"s leg.
The two must be training hard and also did some sparring with Carmen to gain experience in fighting expert level mage. And Carmen also practicing to get used with her new power.
What about Harold? How strong is he? Probably around advanced level.
The two princes attacked the enemy from different location as the two keep moving around. I guess that"s a good strategy against one enemy.
And in the sky, Carmen is fighting with the wind mage one on one. She"s just using Spot as her footing since she can"t fly.
She created a huge Water Ball. But she didn"t use it. Instead, Carmen takes some of the water from it drop by drop, and attacked the enemy with it. Now it looks like it"s raining for the wind mage. Needles rain. Each drop of water can pierce through flesh.
…I never expected water mage to be that scary. Water magic were more used as protection in my past life. That"s what I know. But using that method to attack, She"s amazing. She must have been an amazing hunter before she became the queen.
Well, since it will be over soon, I guess I don"t have to do anything else. I"ll just get Harold and the others to get back here.
I opened a portal and see that everyone is ready to go. They must have heard from Luna that I"m picking them up.
"How is it?" Harold asked everyone entered the portal.
"You can see for yourself. It will be over soon." I said as I pointed at Fabio and Bernard.
"As for Carmen, she"s up there with Spot. I"ll go check around the city and see if there"s anyone suspicious coming with them." I said before leaving them.
Suspicious person, where are you?
I run around the city but I didn"t see anyone suspicious. Does that mean only three of them attacking? Are they that confident?
I guess I"ll go back to Harold and the others.
As I expected, it"s all already over. Harold is praising his wife and his sons that they have gotten stronger. And Luna is looking at her brothers with awe.
As for the other sister, I think her name was Jill, she"s in shock to see that everyone is too strong. It wasn"t even that long when I transported them to Ca.s.sau, and they returned so quickly to see two mages defeated. They obviously didn"t see Spot swallowed a man whole.
"So, what"s your next move?" I asked as soon as I returned.
"Bernard will use this chance to increase his power. And he will tell the people that Jill is being used by her a.s.sistant. Bernard will take Jill under his protection. People will still be suspicious why Bernard allowed Jill, whose a.s.sistant is planning to kill them both, to stay with him. When the news reached the fake king, the fake king will connect how the person who broke through to expert level from before is with Bernard. We will send him a report with using Bernard"s name before any spies informed him. If there are any. There are many other things we"re going to do like sending Sonia to Toni to tell him everything before the news reached the fake king. And…"
"Enough! Too much! I"ll leave the rest to you! Are we done here?" I asked.
"Yes. We can return now. I have asked important questions to Jill while we"re in Ca.s.sau. Let"s go back since the tournament is close. Oh, right. Is there anyone here who want to watch the tournament? If you want you can come with him now." Albert asked.
"Carmen, Fabio, and Luna as well. You three can go. You two can learn a lot just by watching the fight. I want to get Bernard to go as well, but he"s needed here. And Luna will be safe over there while we"re busy. As for Jill… she will stay. She will do as I say from now on. Take care." Harold said.
I return back to Ca.s.sau, and bring Albert to his palace.
It"s also the first time Carmen meet the others. Though most of them are not here, she can get to know Veronica who is a fellow expert level mage.
Soon, it will be the time for the tournament. My guess would be either Angela"s group or Kayla"s group to win.
