6 Series of events 1

Sun rose up high in sky, things seem to be calmed down after the whole carnage of the previous night. Some were grieving on the loss of their loved ones, and others were collecting the dead bodies of the bandits and villagers. As they were gathering their courage to recover from it, sounds of wheels filled the morning silence with stress and agony.

Because villagers assumed that bandit's reinforcement would have arrived to finish the remaining ones. As wagons entered village, a tall gorgeous female elf drawn out her sword and confronted them, she was none other than the village chief.

"evacuate villagers, warriors prepare"

A chaos spread over village.

As wagons stopped a flying object landed between the space separating chief and wagons,

"already forgot me".

"withdraw, he ain't our enemy",

After that dark troops, who were handling wagons broke the locks of the cages and released prisoner. An uneasy atmosphere spread through surrounding, doubting stares were directed towards Magnus.

"don't worry, he isn't an enemy ",

Chief tried to ease up the atmosphere but it didn't work as the aura that Magnus and troops were emitting wasn't pleasant but sinister. It was obvious as he was a total stranger for them .

Even though chief herself was feeling uneasy but she willn't disrespect their saviour or rather she can't, because the warrior of his caliber can destroy ten more villages like them in seconds. Chief invited Magnus politely,

"this way sir",

And took him into an house which she repaired recently. Magnus ordered his army to surround the village for safety against the ambush. As this whole scene took place,

"pardon my late introduction, I am chief of this village, Ebina Ross"

"no need to be polite, my name is Magnus Rane and i am a traveller"

"thanks for your help, we can never pay for your generosity"

"oh don't mind it, any traveller would have helped"

A scarfaced male elf standing beside chief lashed out

"not anyone would have, If you would have came earlier many more would have been saved ".

The atmosphere that chief was trying to made was shattered, chief looked at scar face as if she wanted to just kill him, chief bowed and started apologising,

"please forgive the rudeness of my subordinate, I will make sure to teach him in future ".

After a few seconds Magnus spoke up in calm voice as he has already assumed this situation, nature of people to blame other for their shortcomings ,

"future huh".

Chief gave up on her hope of survival and was burning with rage due to the foolishness of his subordinate. Magnus stood and walked towards scarface,

"you are quite hot blooded, let me tell you something?

I don't have any obligation to save anyone in this village ".

Scarface filled with rage and challenged Magnus to duel.

After that they looked for the open space in village for duel. Some villagers gathered around arena, most were elderly elfs who serve as advisors of the village,

Scarface threw a sword towards Magnus, but Magnus refused,

" I don't need a weapon ".

Scarface filled with rage as noone has never insulted him like this, Chief acted as referee and signaled to start the duel. Scarface holding his sword pulled himself towards Magnus, it took him split second to reach him and he pierced his sword through him, but it was an afterimage of Magnus. An deadly bloodlust filled the area, air around arena became heavy, scarface who was the closest to the source of bloodlust turned and looked towards Magnus. Magus aura looked like an mythic creature aura.

Scarface was at his wits end, and cursed himself for provoking such a guy. The elders and chief who were staring from sidelines, looked frightened as if they have seen the reaper.

Scarface threw his sword and knelt down

"kill me, please spare my village".

his voice was trembling, everyone pitied on scarface. Magnus took his steps towards scarface and put his hand on his shoulder in encouraging gesture, and spoke up rudely

"if i wasn't the nice guy, your whole village would have been sixty meters beneath the ground".

Scarface shed cold sweat and doesn't pull himself up until Magnus left the arena.

Scene threatened the audience for their lives and all knelt before Magnus to beg for mercy.

Magnus ignored them, and head towards an injured woman who had lost her arm and was constantly groaning in pain. A small girl looked towards Magnus with teary eyes, who was sitting near the injured woman. Magnus wiped her tears,

"tears doesn't suit you".

A magic circle appeared under woman,

" scanning

Supreme healing skill required to regrow the limbs

Insufficient lifeforce".

Magnus stared at chief and demanded

" i am gonna take corpses of bandits, do you have any objection"

"no sir, do as you wish".

Magnus walked towards the corpse mountain of bandits.

" life force detected

"

A magic circle appeared under the corpse mountain and corpses start melting into dark matter, mana in the air became chaotic. Only chief and village advisors were present at the scene, looking astonished.

After every corpse converted into dark matter, it took the shape of large void whose diameter was about 100 m.

"lifeforce consumed successfully

Casting summoning

Classes will be automatically granted according to the aptitude of individual corpse"

Just like before, hands of dead army rose from void and after sometime a whole of 250 dark knights and mages knelt before Magnus. Chief was totally confused as she had never seen such sorcery in her whole life, she spoke up instinctively,

"what exactly are you"

Magnus chuckled and replied,

"I am just a traveller".

"requirement met to upgrade heal skill to Supreme healing, do you wish to upgrade it"

"approve"

Mana from surrounding started condensing into liquid form and absorbed by Magnus body and after some time, a large way of wind spread through village.

"upgrade successful

Bonus skill : area heal

Description: user can cast the healing skill to the particular area, the more concentration the more range of skill

"

As Orion stopped, Magnus casted Area heal.

A big magic circle appeared above the whole village and it started raining. As the rain fell on the villagers, their injuries and lost limbs started healing and regrowing. Villagers were surprised by the miracle.
