Chapter 217 Unexpected Allies
Chapter 217 Unexpected Allies?
Meanwhile, Julian was in a terrible situation, facing four powerful creatures from which he didn’t know how to escape.
After entering the area with some teachers from Ironcrest’s leading academy, his group encountered several powerful creatures. His academy had important information about something valuable in this area but didn’t have a proper map.
‘Damn it! Why did we get involved in the damned Magic College’s business?’ Julian thought as he made his way through this bumpy area with signs of battle in the trees and on the ground.
Meanwhile, his group was trying to fend off these creatures who, though not much stronger than them in level, were much more brutal.
The people in Julian’s group had low talent. Even though there wasn’t much difference in mana density between the two sides in this confrontation, the four magical beings attacking them had much higher combat skills than Julian and his allies.
“If we survive this situation, the kingdom college will have to reward us heavily!” One of them shouted, feeling terrible for being sent to this place without any items to protect them from these beasts in the area.
Unfortunately for them, even though this was the Seidel Kingdom and part of the king’s domain, not all the terrain in this magnificent state was dominated by humans.
In several parts of the kingdom, there were beings of other races who dominated small areas beyond the royal forces’ reach.
Because of this, only a few people could go in and out of such areas without getting into trouble.
There were even maps of such areas, but few had accurate information about the territories of non-human tribes.
In Ironcrest, where this group had left a few days ago, there was no map with such detailed information about this area, so anyone who came from there could run into a lot of trouble depending on their route.
One might even be lucky enough to escape those problems, but that hadn’t been the case with Julian’s group.
Aware of this, these men were furious with their superiors as they moved about, trying to put up some resistance to the four creatures that were salivating as they moved against them with horrible smiles on their faces.
“We must find a way to retreat and call for reinforcements from the academy! Otherwise, no one will be able to complete this mission!” The strongest one there, a level 4 Acolyte who was also a level 7 General, said this while using his sword.
“Shit!” One of the weaker ones there grabbed something from his storage ring to send out a call for help. But that would hardly save them from this situation!
The academy where Julian was currently working had a partnership with the Seidel Magic College. This institution had recently passed on information that a valuable pentagram had appeared in the area they were now and had issued this mission.
The Seidel Magic College gave Magic Pentagrams to some top students when they reached milestones. Therefore, whenever possible, this institution would send its allies and even subordinates to collect special essences throughout the kingdom.
A few days ago, Julian’s group had been given this mission by a seer from the Seidel Magic College.
Unfortunately for them, Polaris Realm wasn’t a place where you could just get a piece of information and go somewhere to collect what you wanted without getting into trouble along the way!
Not being as prepared as they should have been, their group was now in a terrible situation!
While most of them were using everything they had to defend themselves or dodge enemy attacks, the weakest of the group sent out a signal via a communication device.
“Help! Send reinforcements to the Alpine Woodpecker Forest group immediately! We’re having trouble with…”
In the middle of a level 3 Acolyte’s message, one of those creatures over two meters tall jumped towards him and destroyed the communication device in use with a single movement of its arms.
After seeing that creature right in front of him, the level 3 Acolyte’s eyes widened as he looked at the salivating creature right in front of him.
“NOO!”
When the strongest of the group of humans shouted, none of them could do anything before the black-furred creature attacked the weakest of the group with all its might, slashing at the blond man’s abdomen with its claws.
As the blood of one of their companions flew through the air, and a deep wound appeared in his abdomen, the men realized that this would probably be the fate of everyone there. π―ππ±π§πΌπ―ππΉ.π°πΌπΊ
They were going to die!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!”
Hearing their companion’s terror, they wished they could retreat. Unfortunately, they were surrounded and didn’t have a chance.
“Shit! This is the end!” Another level 3 Acolyte screamed as he saw one of those creatures open its mouth and bite in his direction, lunging at him in a way he couldn’t dodge.
In that moment of terror for the group of scholars from Ironcrest, suddenly, repeated sounds came from different directions!
Bang!
Bang!
Several shots rang out as powerful bullets cut through the air faster than the speed of sound, hitting the necks of the four creatures in that area before the suffering humans even heard them.
Bang!
Meanwhile, the four beings who attacked the group of teachers felt several bullets hit their necks, which hurt them because it was an unexpected attack but did not endanger them.
Bang!
If it had been a human being who had been attacked, they would definitely have died if so many bullets had hit such a sensitive spot of their bodies.
But as magical creatures with great physical strength, these four only howled in pain and suddenly shifted their focus to the 18 masked men who had appeared in the surrounding area.
Bang!
Julian’s group saw these unexpected allies appear to help them at the crucial moment, but before they could assess the strength of these weak Acolytes, they saw two more men move.
Strong winds formed in the area, and as the mana in the atmosphere changed, flames appeared around the location, along with several explosions.
The metals on these teachers’ bodies shook, and in the blink of an eye, they flew out of their bodies at high speed, forming razor-sharp blades that flew faster and faster toward three of the four Rougarous!
“Die!”
Vicente and Rory simultaneously shouted as they attacked their enemies from above, one floating in the air and the other jumping from a tree branch toward his opponent.
As they moved, the two targeted their enemies’ weak points, using their abilities to eliminate as many enemies as possible with the initial attack!
