58 Chapter 58: Attack on Greenwood City
Rezen finally got the taste of the life of the rich. He doesn’t even bother looking at the price tags, as long as he likes it, he would buy it!
Even if the clothes cost thousands of credits, that’s just equivalent to a few mana stones!
When the shopping spree ended, more than half of the clothes in the shop were bought by him!
Such is the life of the rich!
When Rezen and Zero went out of the store, there were more than a hundred pieces of clothes ranging from top to bottom stored in their void storage ring
“Hmm, women’s clothes, pillows, blankets, and mattresses are Neil’s job… what should I buy next?” Rezen thought while strolling with Zero when they suddenly heard a familiar voice
“Rezen! Zero!”
When Rezen turned his head to the person calling him, he saw the familiar pair of sisters approaching him
“Sisters!” Rezen greeted. He can’t help but feel happy after seeing them
Although these two weren’t able to prevent him from being abducted by the artificial humans, they were still strong mages
If he ever encounters any danger while in this mall, he could rely on them for protection
As for being ashamed for relying on women’s protection… only people that are blatantly or internally misogynist would feel so!
Women are strong too and a man relying on their protection is not something to be ashamed of!
Not all women were pretty little lambs that needed men’s protection. Many of them can also be the protector!
“Sisters, what are you doing here?” Rezen asks curiously
“We were taking a break. We heard that there was a new restaurant that opened here and the food was great” Rain answered and this made Rezen think that although these two were at the top of the food chain, they were actually still humans
When tired, they would rest. If they heard of a newly opened restaurant, they would also want to try the food!
High-level mages are also humans!
“I see” Rezen simply replied. He thinks that no matter how good the chef was, even amateurs could beat them if Rezen’s personally grown vegetables were used
If it was before, Rezen might be excited to try but this time, he was not the least bit enthusiastic
“Do you want to come with us? If you have any questions about your cultivation, you can ask away!” Rain offered while raising her thumb
For them, Rezen has a mysterious master but that master is always busy and he rarely meets him
Since that’s the case then it wouldn’t hurt if they try to help Rezen’s cultivation
“Okay, thank you, sisters!” Rezen agreed. His cultivation and comprehension talent were both at the level of trash. However, if it’s a teaching from high-level mages, it might still help him greatly!
With that decided, the three were on their way to that new restaurant when…
Boom!
The four of them suddenly heard a loud explosion followed by the cries of the people
“Come on, what is it this time?!” Rezen cried out
This mall is really cursed! Every time that he come here, something would happen!
“Rain, stay here. I’ll check the situation!” Florine said sternly as she started running outside the mall to check the situation
“Don’t be afraid, this big sister here will definitely protect you! You are our precious suppli— ehem, little brother!” Rain stated boastfully before her eyes widened after looking at Zero
Right now, Zero has already activated his Mystic Tattoo in case that danger popped out. He has to protect his master!
“A Tattoo Warrior! Wow… that’s rare!” Rain exclaimed and before she can have thoughts that she shouldn’t have, Rezen already spoke
“He is assigned by my master to protect me” Rezen said and Rain nodded her head
She is just surprised since Tattoo Warriors are almost extinct these days
Seconds and minutes passed and the people’s cries became louder and louder. The sound of explosions and fighting also grew louder, causing Rezen to frown
“Sister, I think we should go outside. If the fight reached this mall, we might get buried inside!” Rezen suggested
With Rain here, even if the whole building collapses, they would still be safe but she agreed
Whether it be her or her sister, although they are not Saints but if they can, they would still protect the common people
The four of them run outside to check the situation and they saw complete chaos. Corpses lay on the ground, spells flew in the air that sometimes causes a whole building to collapse that buried people alive, and civilians desperately ran away in fear
“Shit… how can a frog be that big? That frog is as tall as a three-story building!” Rezen exclaimed. He had never seen a frog that big!
This might be a fantasy world but Rezen is still lacking in experience. This is his first time seeing such a large creature
The frog was as tall as a building with three floors. It has a slimy brown skin and its stomach was bulging as if a single poke using a needle would burst it
Its disgustingly long pinkish tongue was like an arrow leaving the bow with its speed. Every time that it uses its tongue, human corpses would stick to it before being swallowed directly into its stomach
“That’s a Corpse-lover Giant Frog! It can store thousands of corpses in its belly!” Rain explained
“Look, there was someone standing on top of it!”
“That might be the frog’s summoner”
Summoning-type spells and mystic gems were not an elemental type and the magic they use are already pretty explanatory
“Aahhh!!! Help!”
Not far from the four, they saw a woman hugging her child in her arms as she desperately tried to flee
Behind her was a mage wearing a tiger mask on his face shooting a spell on her direction
“[Metal Stream!]”
The masked mage muttered. The eyes inside his mask glowed with a metallic gray luster as he shot a stream of metallic energies
“Stop!” Rain shouted angrily. Her eyes glowed with an icy blue light after summoning her mystic gem
“[Ice Stream!]”
Rain intercepted the metal stream with her own stream spell and she easily overpowered the enemy
She is a 5th fusion rank mage and the masked mage was only a 3rd fusion rank. Who is stronger and who is weaker is obvious
The masked mage also sensed the power of Rain but it was already too late. Not only did Rain’s stream spell overpower his, it even continued to kill him
“Twighlight Beasts… why are they attacking inside a human city? They were not this bold in the past!” Rain asked to no one in particular
“Twighlight Beasts?” Rezen mumbled after hearing that and he remembered the assassins that attacked him earlier this night
They were also a part of the Twighlight Beasts. To think that they would be so bold as to directly attack a human city. Just what are they planning exactly?
“[Leaf Blades!]”
In the skies, Florine can be seen. Her eyes and hair that were fluttering with the wind were completely green in color
On her back were two pairs of translucent greenish wings. Her body has a green dress made from mana and magic
She was already originally beautiful but even more so now. She really looks like the Fairy and the Guardian of the Forest!
“[Heaven’s Gate!]”
Aside from Florine, there was also another mage flying in the sky. This mage also wore a mask, a fox mask to be exact
The mage created a magic circle in front of her that blends in with space and a spatial portal appeared
That was the same spell that Rezen used! That fox mask mage is a rare spatial mage and from the looks of it, she was also a 6th fusion rank mage!
Florine expected that with [Heaven’s Gate], the fox would send her magic back to her. That’s how spatial mage usually acts
What she didn’t expect was that the fox would send the leaf blades to the civilians fleeing for their lives
Florine indirectly killed those people that were then swallowed by the Corpse-lover Giant Frog
“Stop, you beast!” Florine shouted angrily as she cancelled her spell
“You might be strong, Fairy of the Forest but these civilians are holding you back”
The fox masked mage said and her words were true
Florine doesn’t dare use magic with a higher lethality in fear that there would be humans that would be affected
Even just a shockwave from her spell can kill hundreds or even thousands of normal humans!
Even the low-level mages wouldn’t be any different!
“Shut up!” She replied and underneath the mask, she felt her enemy sneering at her
“[Warp]”
The fox mage suddenly disappeared from her original position and when she reappeared, she was already above Florine
“[Fire Stream!]”
Behind the fox mage were three mystic gems. One is of the space element and the other two were fire and lightning
Fire and lightning element has destructive power and spatial element can either be destructive or extremely supportive
In this mage’s case, her space spells were of the support type and such a mage is hard to deal with because of how slippery they are!
