Chapter 27: Fighting the bandits (1)
When the bandits heard his exclaim, they looked at one another, they was a mocking look on their face.
"You will never be able to stop us. Don't make us laugh" A bandit said to him.
"An E-grade Divinity like you couldn't possibly go against 4 Divinity of the same rank so leave before you die." Another bandit said as they looked in front of them.
Zoe knew that they were saying the right thing, so she turned his attention to Lucius and tried to persuade him
"Lucius, don't be stupid and get out of here. You can get your sword repaired in another smithy" Zoe said to Lucius.
Lucius shook his head when he heard as he gripped the sword in his hand even tightly.
"No, we are going to fight, Zoe can you please go outside and look for any patrols? If you see them, then tell them about the situation and bring them here to assist us" Lucius said to Zoe, Nervous was visible on his face since it was his first real battle.
However, he didn't back down, he had thoughts of backing down many times but whenever he looked at the notification flashing in his retina. Such thoughts disappear without a trace.

Lucius couldn't bring himself to refuse this quest no matter what because of the rewards.
The exp wasn't important but the favor with Blacksmith Han was very precious to him since Han will make him free weapons.
The weapons made by Han were at least D grade and he had made some of the best weapons in the entire kingdom.
"So you are not going to leave huh? I guess we have no choice but to kill you two here" The bandits said to them.
Two bandits began to walk towards Lucius and Zoe with visible killing intent in their eyes.
"Please save me!" Lincoln, who was captured by the bandits shouted.
Lucius ignored his shouts and began to channel mana into his sword, aura engulfed his sword from top to bottom.
Lucius looked at Zoe and pleaded.
"Zoe, please go out and call for some help," Lucius said to Zoe who was still standing beside him.
Lucius channeled mana into the sword and a thick layer of aura engulfed the blade from top to bottom.
(You have used aura)
(21 mana has been consumed, available mana is 109)
"Fine, I will go out but don't order me like this again," Zoe said to him as she prepared to leave.
She began to head outside, however the bandits had no intention of leading her escape so easily.
When the attention of the bandits and Zoe was not on him, Lucius took out the book of creation and it began to materialize in his hand.
He let go of the Book of Creation, the Book of Creation began to float in the air, the moment he let it go.
One of the bandits charged towards Zoe at an incredible speed when she saw her leaving.
"You can't leave so easily" The bandit shouted as he charged towards Zoe.
The bandit had a spear in his hand, the spear was engulfed in a thick layer of aura. Zoe ignored him and kept running.
When the bandit was a few cm away from Zoe, he struck his spear towards the left chest of Zoe.
However, before the spear could strike the left chest of Zoe, Lucius appeared in front of Zoe, blocking the attack of the bandit, a loud metallic sound was produced the moment the spear and sword collided with one another.
The bandit looked at the book that was floating in the air, he was shocked when he saw this. Everyone present in the room was shocked.
"Judging from the fact that he can use aura, it means that he is a Divine Warrior. Then why can he make a book float." The bandit thought to himself in confusion.
"Wait, is he a dual-class user who just passed the Divinity exams?!" The bandit exclaimed.
When the group of bandits heard that, they turned their attention to Lucius, they examined how he looked and how tall he was.
"This.."
"He is indeed the person who is a dual-class user." The bandit who was holding Lincoln captive exclaimed.
Lucius just ignored them and urged Zoe to call for help.
"Zoe run and call for help," Lucius said to Zoe.
"Be safe" Zoe said before leaving.
Zoe nodded her head and went outside.
The book of creation that was floating in the air opened up at the side, and Lucius began to read the contents on the page.
The bandits snorted when he saw this.
"Do you think that I will allow you to do whatever you wish as long as I am here" The bandit exclaimed as he launched his spear towards the book, the moment his spear touched the book, the book glowed brightly.
Seeing this Lucius smiled slightly.
"He shouldn't have touched the book of creation," Lucius thought to himself.
He felt a great repulsive force from the book. The repulsive force was so strong that he was sent flying backward, and he slammed into the wall. Lucius saw this as an opportunity.
"This is my chance, I need to cast summoning magic right now"
Lucius began to channel his mana in his body in a unique way, the moment the bandit was sent flying backward.
8 Magic circles appeared on the ground simultaneously as he channeled his mana in his body.
"What is this?" The bandits wondered as he looked at the magic circles.
8 skeletons simultaneously appeared in front of them, the moment the skeletons formed above the magic circles, a notification flashed in Lucius' eyes which he ignored.
(You have successfully summoned 8 skeletons)
(48 mana has been consumed, you have 61 mana left)
"I would have summoned Flame Warrior if my mana capacity was a bit higher. Since a Flame warrior is much stronger than 30 skeletons combined.
However, if I use Flame Warrior then I can't use Summoner's Enhancement which will surely make me lose" Lucious thought to himself.
The moment the skeleton was summoned, some bandits looked slightly surprised.
"Do you think that these weak skeletons can stop me?" The bandit who was sent flying backwards declared as he charged toward Lucius.
Lucius saw two more bandits charging towards him, the other two bandits had a long sword in their hand.
Only the bandit who was holding Lincoln captive was excluded from the fight, other than him everyone was charging towards Lucius with killing intent.
Seeing this Lucius quickly gave commands to the summons.
"All summons form a defensive formation around me. Don't get more than 25 meters away from me" Lucius gave out commands to the skeleton using his unique connection with them, no one could hear them.
The summon began to form a defensive circle around Lucius, they didn't get more than 25 meters away from him.
"Summoner's Enhancement" Lucius shouted as he channeled his mana uniquely.
Simultaneously dozens of notifications began to flash in his retina, the moment he activated the skill.
(You used summoner's enhancement)
(The stats of all summons within a radius of 25 meters have increased by 30 percent)
(50 percent of the total available mana has been used up)
(Current available mana 30)
Lucius ignored them and a Magic circle that was 25 meters in radius was formed. All the summon was within the summon.
The bandit who saw the Magic Circle became confused.
"I can feel the strength of his summons has gone up" The bandits with the spear exclaimed, he sounded a little bit nervous.
