Volume 2 Chapter 22: The Lizard and the Enderman

(Grace)

Walson Passed all of the information that he gained from the dead spies into us.

The average level of these spies is around 40, and their overall combat power is pretty average, no one had [Special Class] or anything like that, for normal adventurers, they are all very strong.

— Not to us.

While holding [IRIS], the wand that Walson gave me, I shake it gently, activating the [Eye of Ender].

Then, I see everything.

I saw everything that is made of magic, and I saw the flow of magic in people's bodies as they breathed.

Walson said it was the "inner world" hidden beneath the surface world.

I teleported to the place that Walson had said. It's a very inconspicuous wooden dwelling on the street. It is very quiet, but from the "inner world", I can see that there are many people inside.

—Those people have a high concentration of magic power in their bodies, and following the flow of their magic power, I can also know that each one of them holds a magic item.

So, it's time to fight.

What is the reason for fighting?

To protect Aure, to protect my third friend from being bullied.

Aure is a benefactor and a good friend of mine.

Teleporting once more, I landed in one of the trees, I pressed the mechanism on the staff, and a thin charcoal tip appeared under the staff.

Walson said that it was a black ink made of [Millenium Fairy Wood] mixed with other rare woods, making it able to easily infused with magic power, [Mithril Powder] is also mixed in it, something like this, is something that only Walson can make.

Walson, you are really amazing.

Walson said that [Mages] should try to avoid appearing directly in front of the enemy, so I don't want to show myself to the spy inside.

Instead, I draw a magic circle.

I think magic circles and incantations are similar things, similar to words, but they must follow a specific format and grammar, otherwise the elemental fairies will not be able to understand them.

In addition, it is important to leave magic power as a material.

"Hey! What are you doing!" I heard a voice from the ground.

I looked down, it was one of the enemies.

Without responding, I just shot a [Shadow Blade] at them, smashing the [Signal] he was sending.

[Signal] is the medium through which the Party is able to read the words they are receiving.

The man reacted fast, I'm not surprised, after all, a level 40 [Mage] was still a formidable opponent, he quickly chanted a [Fireball] and launched it towards me.

If I dodge it, it will hit the house, alerting the spies inside, and if I block it with the same magic attack, it will make so much noise the people inside would take notice, so— I stretched out my hand.

Walson said, this is the exclusive skill of my race [Enderman] - the fireball was fixed in the air the moment it touched my hand, and then distorted into a cube.

The cube, in its state of being at my disposal.

I like cubes because they are the same shape as many of the things Walson makes.

I teleported to the back of the man, and I smashed the cube fireball at his body, and slit his throat with the shadow blade before he could scream.

The scream condensed in the air, and he fell slowly, swallowed by the flames.

{Party has gained 2134 experience points}

...

... ...

...

The magic circle has been completed, and the capital would be presented with a grand firework in ten seconds.

— There are 3 bases in total.

One of them was handed over to Melon

Melon is a close-range fighter, so had to fight all of the enemy in close contact with them, that is to say, it was more dangerous for her.

I need to get rid of the other stronghold as soon as possible, and go help Melon.

After that, I teleported away.

Boom!

There was an explosion in the distance.

Well, before the people here are alerted, let's finish this quickly.

————————————o(*´∀｀)o————————————

(Melon)

I walked into the tavern.

I closed my eyes and listened.

The sound of footsteps, the rattle of weapons, the muffled voices hidden under the floorboards.

The bartender had a huge smile on his face and asked me what I wanted to drink.

—The man's face was full of smiles, but I could hear and feel that there was malice lurking in the tavern.

"Are you all spies?" I said, trying to speak in a voice that would not wake up the sleeping ordinary people, but could be heard by the entire tavern.

On the surface, it seems I was only talking to the bartender, but in truth, my question was directed to everyone.

The sound of footsteps stopped, the rattling of weapons stopped, and the voices hidden under the floorboard also stopped.

Malicious.

Packed with malicious intent, all of the sounds in the tavern faded away.

Leaving nothing but killing intent behind

"Excuse me, miss, who are you?"

From the vibration that I felt, there are ten enemies in total.

There was commotion under the floor.

I heard no sound of conversation between them, maybe their conversation are being carried out in their [Party Telepathy]

They all are very powerful, but not strong enough to beat me.

"..." I squatted down, accumulating magic power in the [Band of the Bold].

My Master's friend, Miss Aurevia–No, it seems Master called her Barella?

—-Let's just call her Miss Barrela

Master wants to defeat all of Miss Barella's enemies, and as his sword, it's my duty to oblige to his command.

Boom!!!!!!!

With my right fist, I smashed the ground and reached the secret room underneath

Master said that the momentum gained from first impression appearance is very important.

So I made what Master tends to call "Super Hero Landing".

The enemy's breath was disturbed due to the dust and wood crashing into them.

So I jam my fists into the chests of two enemies at the same time as the dust spreads.

2 enemies are now incapacitated, so there are 8 more people left.

To make the fight quick, I injected more magic power into the [Band of the Bold], I kicked a man and broke his leg.

Turning around, I grabbed the chain that flew over my head and pulled it, making the owner of the chains fly into my already outstretched leg. My kick this time made an audible cracking sound.

2 people fell down, so there are 6 more left.

I turn around, quickly targeting the 3 spies that are rushing at me.

[Band of the Bold] is injected with more magic power, and the punch that I unleash made contact with one of them, the man's torso made a cracking sound, and immediately flew into the other 2, slamming the both of them into the wall, stirring up more dust.

There are 3 more people left.

I use the chain to attack one of the incoming enemies, slamming the man into the wall without any issue.

"Ugh!"

There were 2 more.

One of the men swung their tomahawk down into me.

My fist met with his tomahawk, destroying it completely. I kicked his knees, and delivered an uppercut to his jaws, and with a smooth motion, I turned around and unleashed a round kick into his chest.

I stepped out of the cloud of dust and looked at the elf with the sword.

"You're the last one," I said.

"I won't tell you anything—Long live the Empire!" Seconds later, the man collapsed into the ground, foaming from out of his mouth.

One more base remaining.

Boom!

Suddenly, a booming sound of an explosion sounds outside.

The sound comes from the direction of the last secret base.

"...Melon, it's settled." Miss Grace's words resounded, and it made me envy her a little.

Teleportation is such a convenient ability to have. . .
