Chapter 461: Killing The Guards
There are about fifty of them. Although they are gathering together, it"s not like they are near each other. I will need several Blobbygrenades to throw.
And because they are most likely expert level mages, they will know instantly when the grenades are close. They might either attack it, or flee. I hope they won"t flee.
Which mean the grenades will be destroyed before they reached them. So, I need to throw them in a way so that even after the grenades are destroyed, the air inside will spread to them. I need to throw the grenades from different spots.
For that, I can ask Graham"s shadow to help. I will throw some grenades from the right, while he"s throwing it from the left.
I also mixed some grenades with killing gases for the first few grenades we will throw. Though I will throw more of them later.
"Alright. You will throw all of this ten second from now. I will move to that side," I said to the shadow clone.
It"s weird talking to a clone, but seems like Graham"s shadow clone can understand order. Or maybe it"s because I"m its master"s master.
Five seconds after giving the shadow clone the order, I"m already at my position. Only five seconds left before we will throw them all.
Four seconds before throwing. None of them noticed us.
Three seconds left. They started to disperse. Why won"t they get closer to each other instead?
Two seconds left. One second left.
Now!
Though I didn"t throw it right away. I waited until the grenades that Graham"s shadow reached where the enemy can detect it first.
Wait for it…
Finally, someone noticed the approaching grenades and can see them. They then used magic to attack the grenades and destroyed it. Good thing it was just a Fireball. If it"s a wind magic, the air inside might be blown away.
But as some of them throw their Fireb.a.l.l.s at the grenades that the shadow clone threw, I threw my grenades at the same time. I threw them one by one with powerful strength so that even if they are destroyed, the air inside will still reach them.
They must be so conceited if they didn"t even bother creating magical shield or barrier. But that"s great since some of them have been affected. Once they started fighting each other, I will throw more.
Some finally noticed the shadow clone and me, but they are too late as chaos started with some of them shouting at each other.
"Don"t shove me!"
"Hey, that was your fault!"
"Move away! I can"t see anything!"
"Finally, I can get revenge for when you ate my pudding!"
Yeah, I agree. If someone eat my pudding, I will also get my revenge.
Because of that, those who noticed me unable to react as fight broke out. And soon enough, after throwing some more grenades, most of them are affected and start getting angry at each other. And some even doing it with the intent to kill the other party.
I will make them have more killing intent as they kill each other. This time, I threw the grenades filled with the killing gases.
Let"s watch carefully and make sure I won"t get affected by the gases I created. I won"t take a breath from now. I will use Air magic on myself so I don"t need to breathe.
Because there are a lot of expert level mages fighting each other, it"s difficult to join in and kill them. Though there will surely be some gap I can abuse since they are too angry to think about other things.
About ten of them has fallen, but they should be those with weaker magic level. The rest are using quite powerful magic.
Because of the noise, the people under the ground should notice that something is happening. I need to get them all focused on me so Candy and Wendy can focus on the investigation.
Someone used Fire Pillar to kill another expert level mage, and I used that chance to kill the one who casted the Fire Pillar. As they are angry at each other, they didn"t notice that someone is getting inside the chaos to kill them. Though they noticed the giant shadow clone, but the shadow killed them before they aimed their magic at it.
Hmm? Someone is aiming at me? He"s not affected by my gas?
Don"t tell me that he"s an air mage. I forget that there might be other air element mages than me. but seems like he is the only one as he"s reaching his hand out forward at me.
And from that hand, a powerful lightning strike those in front of him. Even his allies.
"Die, you spy b.a.s.t.a.r.d! And the rest who got affected by some sort of magic don"t need to survive. Just die all of you!"
Lightning magic. It"s fast and powerful. Even though it"s an expert level lightning magic, and is faster than Jewel"s lightning magic which is still in advanced level. But because I trained a lot with Jewel, I can dodge it barely. It"s doable because he"s not as experienced in using his lightning magic and can only use it to shoot it directly to his target. Unlike Jewel who can change her lightning direction.
Seems like he"s too confident with his lightning magic that he didn"t even see that I managed to dodge his attack. It"s good since he hasn"t casted any shield or barrier magic.
I quickly approached him and stabbed Reizpear into his chest. Killing him instantly.
It has been a while, and they are expert level mages. They won"t get angry at all times because of my magic, and the effect of my gases has been reduced greatly by now. The only thing I can do is killing them myself.
I pulled out Reizpear, and quickly spun around and slash all the nearby enemies. But it"s not powerful enough to kill them. But after I stopped spinning, I retreated from that spot while shooting Blobbygun at the injured mages. Killing them when they least expect it.
Now, there are only 8 mages left thanks to Graham"s shadow clone"s help.
"Are you the one with the other compa.s.s?" the man holding a compa.s.s said.
There"s no reason to answer his question. And I know that my air magic won"t have much effect on them anymore. Let"s just kill them.
Thanks to my enhanced speed after training for so long, I can get to them before they could react. I slashed Reizpear again and killed four of them before the fifth person stopped it with her Earth Wall.
But this woman didn"t notice that the shadow clone is on the other side of the wall and stabbed its spear to her head. There are only three mages left.
Now, it"s a technique I learned to face them without even moving my body. It"s time to use it. The condition has been fulfilled. It"s when they know that they are too weak against the enemy they are facing.
"All I need is just one person I can interrogate. Two of you will die here."
I threatened the last three of them. How is that a technique to kill?
Well, it"s because they are cult members and have explosive devices in their mouth. Only two of them though.
Without hesitation, after realizing that I"m too strong for them, the two with explosive devices explode their own head. Leaving only one man left alive with horror in his eyes.
"So, it will be you whom I will interrogate, huh? That"s fine," I said.
"…"
The man didn"t answer. But instead, he pointed his hands at his own head and killed himself that way. How stupid.
"Sigh… now all of them have died. There"s no one I could interrogate. Well, I can grab someone from underground later," I said to myself.
I stepped on the corpses, and grabbed the other compa.s.s. It"s pointing to where I hid my compa.s.s. I will give them to Albert as souvenir.
I was about to left this place. Or at least that"s what someone who is pretending to be a corpse is thinking.
"Oh, wow! Someone is still alive," I said with a huge smile on my face while looking at the man who pretended to be dead. I can tell with my Divine Vision.
"AAAAAH!"
Why is he so scared? I"m smiling, so he should answer with a smile.
I knocked him out easily, and wrap the Magic Restraining Collar around his neck. Then, I used portal to transport him somewhere.
Albert has told me before that if I could capture some prisoners, I will need to bring them to a designated place where the rest can be taken care of by Albert"s trusted people.
"…Roy, your smiling face was so evil. It was like watching a horror movie. Your performance can win an award and get a prize," Victoria said.
"Just like that? Isn"t living in your world so easy then?"
"Well… same as here. Only for those who are talented and the rich. As for the rest, they will need to work hard until they can show their talent or they are rich," Victoria said.
Well, I don"t need to bother about it since I don"t live in that world. And I don"t think I will go there. Also, I"m already rich. Talented? I"m the only Aura user here.
Now, let"s check on how the others are doing.
