239 Chapter 239
“They destroyed the Church of Light branch. Can they really be that weak though?” Huang asked, slightly worried.
So far, he had only heard about the Dark Mages and their stories, but he never came across one. Being able to kill one of them was certainly an achievement but were they really capable? That was the question.
“So what if they destroyed a measly branch? It was a remote branch of the Church of Light in a small and useless town. Do you think they would’ve sent strong Warriors to guard this place? The priests that were assigned here must’ve been low-tier mages,” Rong smacked his hand on the table before him as he responded.
“It’s not that shocking that they were killed. If I’m not wrong, we could’ve killed them too, if they were really that weak. Moreover, didn’t you hear? The person looked really young according to them. Don’t tell me you believe that a man as young as that could be an Advanced Tier Mage?”
“That’s true. Someone so young… If they were really advanced Tier Mages, they wouldn’t need to come to such a small town for medical treatment.” One of the girls agreed.
“If one of them was injured and had to be brought here for treatment, that probably means he was hurt in the Beast Mountain. A dark Mage who couldn’t even protect his people from measly beast mountain beasts? How strong could they even be?” Rong further continued. The more he talked, the more he started to believe his own words.
“In any case, so what even if he is an advanced mage? When we all work together, it’s not hard for us to take down an Advance Mage. This is an opportunity we can’t waste. Not only can we kill a Dark Mage and gain all the glory, but we can also get the favor of the Church of Light by eliminating the one who killed their people. I think we shouldn’t miss this opportunity.”
The middle-aged man who owned the place was quite surprised to hear their words. Initially, he thought that these people were going to run after hearing what was happening there, but instead of running, they were planning to kill them?
“You!” Rong pointed his finger at the middle-aged man arrogantly. “You lead us to where those people are staying! We’ll handle the rest.”

“Calm down,” Xin finally chimed in, stopping Rong, who she believed was starting to get quite impatient. “Even if it’s true that they’re weak, we can’t be impatient. Within a few hours, our guards should be here as well. We should wait for them before taking any action.”
“Yeah, we came first since they were slowing us down. But in a situation like this, it’s better to be careful. We should wait for a few hours for their arrival… That way, we can take precautions against any mishap,” Yui agreed with the Princess.
Unlike Rong, she wasn’t impatient. Moreover, she was also slightly scared, even though she didn’t show it.
“Come on!” Rong impatiently stated. “We can’t waste time, can we? Where’s the glory if we take the help of our guards? Even if we do all the work, the credit will go to them! We need to do it ourselves before they arrive! Just imagine the shock on their faces! Xin, come on! It can’t be that you’re scared of a few kids, is it?”
Princess Xin could only rub her forehead. She knew there was some risk in attacking first without back-up. What if they were wrong about the other side’s strength?
They had come here for something else entirely. Who knew they were going to come across dark mages in a small town like this?
“It’s not that I’m scared, but I just want to be careful. There is a reason the Church of Darkness was dreaded so much in the past. Even though I haven’t fought any Dark Mage, the stories about them don’t put me at ease. I don’t care what you say in this. We will wait for our guards to catch up before taking any action!”
Xin didn’t give Rong even an inch. She was stern in her stance since she didn’t want to lose even a single person in this quest.
“Everyone, get back to your rooms. We will deal with the matter in the evening.”
Xin made sure that everyone went back to their room, especially Rong. She also warned the middle-aged man against telling others that they knew about the situation of the town. In exchange, she promised to free the town of this hostage situation when her guards reached here.

Even as Xin returned to her room, she couldn’t sleep or rest. It was a town captured by the Dark Mages.
“They didn’t kill anyone in this town except the Mages that could threaten them. It seems that the stories about them that they slaughtered entire towns were certainly somewhat exaggerated. I wonder what else was exaggerated about them?”
Xin stood near the window, looking at the city that looked so peaceful. No one could’ve guessed that so much was happening in this city.
“When our guards get here, we can finally put an end to it…” She muttered before turning her back to the window. She went back to take a shower.
In another room, Rong was pacing back and forth. This was the perfect opportunity for them to prove to their parents how capable they were. If their Advanced Tier Mage guards came here that was going to get quite troublesome.
Even if they killed the Dark Mages after that point, no one was going to believe that they did it without the help of their guards. That’s why he wanted to do it before the guards arrived! It wasn’t often that they could come across such weak Dark mages.
After ten minutes of pacing back and forth, he just couldn’t take it anymore. He opened the door and stepped out of the room.
He glanced toward Xin’s room. “If she doesn’t want to come, then so be it. I’ll go myself. I’ll take care of it myself!”
He went downstairs and got in contact with the middle-aged man again, threatening him to take him to the place where the Dark Mage was staying.
The middle-aged man had no choice but to agree, even though he was scared.
Barely a few minutes had passed since Xin stopped looking out the window, missing Rong, who was walking away with the middle-aged man on a quest that he didn’t understand the weight of…
