Chapter 728 - 728 Two Extra Master Level Mages

728 Two Extra Master Level Mages

By this time, the enemies are spread out. Trying to kill us and also to grab children who I haven’t caught yet to be used as hostages.

I even had some problem. Especially with smart kids.

They grabbed knives, and tried to stab me in my heart when I grabbed them. some of them are smart enough to aim for my eyes instead. But I just need to close my eyes and cover it with Aura.

I don’t know what will happen if my eyes were to be hit directly with knives if I cover it with Aura. But I won’t try it.

It was easy for me since I can still see with my eyes closed. But how the kids are trying to kill me no matter what, it was troublesome.

Good thing they didn’t try to shave my hair. Or I will be like Kron and needed to wear bandana.

Though if it’s a cut from knives, I think my hair will still grow. So it’s not much a problem. But I just don’t like it. So I stopped those who used knives or any sharp weapons to hit my head.

Once I captured enough kids that my hands were full, I would open a portal and throw them inside. I hope Celestine and the others won’t have too much trouble with the kids.

There are more kids than I expected. I guess this is a lawless country indeed. They do it however they like or even force girls to do it, and get the girls pregnant. I hate this country even more.

.....

The people here thinks that this is a free country. It is a free country after all. But without laws and rules to restraint their freedom, they’re just criminals. Hence the name lawless country.

Though after hearing these people calling this place as free country, I really want to kill them all.

But I can’t yet. I need to save the children first. There are way too many of them.

The enemies are shouting at each others. Trying to get as many children as possible. And that can also be used for our advantages.

Some of the people here actually grabbed children somewhere I can see, and screamed to let me bring them away from there. So before the enemies get them first, I captured them and throw them into the portal.

“Take my children!”

“At least just my brother!”

“Help me!”

Many were shouting for me to kidnap their children. So I also grabbed them as well. Whether they are their father, mother, brother, sister, or even a total stranger. I just grabbed them.

I don’t think that any of them were master level mages. That’s why I’m fine with taking them all in. Though even if they were master level mages, Celestine should be able to handle them.

But I don’t want to risk it. Celestine can handle expert level mages easily. But for master level mages, even if she could kill them, there might be some casualties. Including children.

That’s why I didn’t bring those who might be master level mages. Instead, I either kill them or told them to kill the cult members here.

It’s nice. More of them are helping us. At least we have two more master level mages. But it wasn’t easy to get them help us.

One of them think that I was kidnapping his daughter. So he tried to kill me. But after I threw his daughter into the portal, he followed me while asking why I do that.

I didn’t say that I’m saving his daughter from the cult. I just say that his daughter will be our hostage since we don’t kill children. He reluctantly helped us kill cult members.

The other is slightly better. She was nearby when I opened a portal to throw some children and their guardian in. And she saw the inside of the portal that Celestine and the others were actually trying to help them.

So, she flew to my location with her sister and her sister’s kids and told me to take them somewhere safe.

“If you bring them to safety, I will help you whatever your goal is!” she said.

“We’re destroying everything related to the cult!” I said as I grabbed her sister and her sister’s kids and threw them into a portal.

She nodded and helped us killing the enemies.

As for the previous guy whose daughter I grabbed, he saw our conversation and asked us our real goal. While I grab other children, I told him that we took children to safety and kill the rest. And he decided to help us as well. This time, I didn’t force him.

“What about their guardian? I know some master level mages who have kids,” he asked.

“Some will live, while some will die. I only care about the children. And it’s best to kill the rest. I’m sorry to the children who will be orphans because of me. But it’s their parent’s decision if they wanted to fight me or not,” I said.

“Then I will try to convince those people that you are taking our children to safety. Some will probably help you,” he said.

“You might be killed if they think that you’re betraying them, you know?” I said.

“If you’re sorry that you make the children into orphans, I’m sure that you have taken some precautions. I don’t care if I die as long as my daughter can live. So, if I really die, please tell my daughter that I died a hero. She loves stories of heroes,” he said.

“Then don’t die and keep reading those stories to your daughter. Wear this purple cloth so we will think that you’re on our side. Though if you betray us, I will kill you,” I said.

Then I also gave another purple cloth to the woman from before as well. And I continue looking for children.

I told those two master level mages that if there are other master level mages willing to help, to tell me right away before I kill them. It’s so that I can see if they truly wanted to help or they actually thinking of betraying us later.

As for expert level mages who wanted to help, I just gave it to them. The others can easily handle those expert level mages.

Though I witnessed some of them tried to give those purple cloth to other people. So I killed them.

It’s good that purple dye is not something that everyone can get. It’s extremely rare. That’s why most people only know the color purple from eggplants or few fruits.

And it’s not something that the cult would buy. Why would they buy something to dye their clothes? That’s why it’s best to wear purple cloth to differentiate between enemies or allies.

Some people managed to grab children as hostages. But before they could do anything, they got attacked by someone. Even the werewolves attacked those who used children as hostages.

The two master level mages who joined us then helped looking for other children and protect them. The soldiers will help them as well. So the two master level mages, three since Derek also joined to help protecting children, just need to get the children in three different locations and wait until I can get there.

They and the soldiers will help protecting the children until I can bring them all to safety.

Now that we have three master level mages, my job became easier. Though it’s still not easy. Just easier.

There are also many monsters blocking my way. The angels even have difficulties to do their job to heal the injured people. They can only fight the monsters themselves before they can heal others.

The vampires and werewolves then come to help the angels. The monsters here are stronger than any monsters we have faced.

There’s even another archangel here. He’s fighting Graham. But since Graham is not a pure angel, and he can create shadow clones, it didn’t take long until Graham defeated the other archangel.

Since they can communicate, they are talking while in a fight. It seems like the archangel doesn’t want to fight. He was just forced to because he’s under contract with a tamer.

So Graham knocked him out before he’s trying to hunt the tamer who made a contract with that archangel. I hope he can find the tamer. Adding another archangel in our group would be great.

And then it happens. As we predicted, a master level mage finally used his full power to try to kill everyone.

He’s a master level ice mage. He froze everything starting from the huge mansion in the middle of the city.

Is that him? The one called as Barbarian King?

Whatever.

As soon as the ice started to spread, I shouted at the top of my lung to warn everyone. Including Spot and his children at the sea.

“HE’S A MASTER LEVEL ICE MAGE! WATCH OUT FOR THE ICE! KEEP YOUR DISTANCE FROM THAT MANSION AT THE CENTER!”

Some get themselves frozen. But most people managed to escape death.

The ice freeze everything that it touched. Even in the air, it was freezing cold.

So strong. So destructive. This is master level mage.

Spot and his children dive deeper and further into the sea to avoid getting themselves frozen. I can no longer see them with my Divine Vision, but at least I didn’t see any of them getting frozen even though some other monsters got themselves frozen.

The others are fine. Since it seems like the Barbarian King doesn’t have wind element, most of us avoid the ice by flying in the sky. It’s still freezing above, but it’s better than being frozen down there.

Good thing that I have delivered all the children here by the time the Barbarian King made his move. With this, all that is left is to kill everyone.
