Chapter 99: Encounter with the Fairies 2

From the day after the big talk and proposal, Luke moved with the other party .

Clark tried to make Luke feel as comfortable as possible . He even took a step ahead and brought Luke a meal while he was in bed .

All those treatments made Luke feel very comfortable during the trip .

After two days, they had reached the forest where the monster appeared quite often .

‘Should I try it now?’

If the forest had no escape routes, then there were going to be no witnesses .

Determined, Luke gripped his sword with his right hand when something suddenly swung from the other side and knocked two mercenaries who were on the side .

“Kaak!”

“Ahk!”

The eyes of the mercenaries began to flutter with the strike to their chest; they screamed out of shock .

“Dammit, we’re under attack!”

“Prepare for battle, everyone!”

Mercenaries prepared to respond to the attack . Clark immediately crawled under a random cart .

Luke couldn’t help but smile at the act of that slender figure who hid out of fear .

“It is dangerous, Lord,” said Philip .

Pha? Tch!

With a scream, Philip swung his sword .

The ice, which flew in the form of a spear, shattered into pieces before being able to reach Luke .

“I was able to stop it for now,” said Philip .

“I think it is too early to say that . We need to get these slave traders out of our way . ”

Philip seemed to have figured out the identity of the intruder .

But to go against such a person…

“It is too late for us to back out,” said Luke .

A fireball about the size of a watermelon flew from the direction where the ice came from just a while ago .

At first, it was just an ordinary fireball .

Luke, however, sensed some very unusual flow of mana in the fireball .

“Avoid it! If it hits us we are dead!”

At the shout from Luke, Philip hurriedly dodged it .

However, from just one fireball, a dozen fireballs began to come . It was almost like a meteor shower .

Bang! Bang! Bang!

‘Oh my! This is like shelling . ’ Philip thought .

Philip who just dodged the incoming attack couldn’t close his mouth at the fireball shower .

Clark had told them earlier that their stalker was a good wizard, but they didn’t know that the stalker was this good .

“If this is the mana flow, 7 circles is the thing,” said Luke .

“Huh? Is that true?” Asked Philip .

Luke nodded, which only made Philip much more surprised .

A 7 circle was close to a Meister class talent of a medium Magic Tower .

What was the reason for such an assault to be taken on the slave trader?

However, they didn’t have much time to think .

“It’s coming! Be careful!” Screamed someone .

From the woods, a wizard dressed in a white robe holding a bright golden staff appeared .

Luke and Philip didn’t have the time to care about the wizard . That was because a thin stream of water rose from the ground .

“Kuak!”

“Kaaak! My legs!” Screamed the slave traders .

The stream was beginning to break down the armors of the traders by turning into arrows .

Even without being directly attacked, the traders rolled on the ground in pain . Luke and Philip were trying their best to avoid getting in contact with the stream .

However, the two of them weren’t able to avoid all the arrows that were rising from the ground .

“Shield!”

“Aura Armor!”

Luke protected himself with a defensive spell while Philip used a full-body Expert Aura .

Seeing their response to the magic, the wizard paused and began to chant a different spell to attack them .

“Look here! We have nothing to do with these guys!” Said Philip .

“You are wrong, Sir Philip . No matter what you say, that one won’t believe it,” replied Luke .

If the wizard had seen the slave traders being all hospitable to them, then it was sure that they had been part of the same group .

‘And that wizard is not going to listen to the words of a human . ’ Luke thought .

At first, Luke had thought that the wizard was trying to take away the riches of the traders .

But after seeing the mana flow from the wizard, that wasn’t the case .

At least, it wasn’t a human wizard .

‘This wizard’s race is an El…!’

Luke’s eyes went wide, interrupting his line of thought after seeing the wizard .

The wavelength of mana had suddenly changed .

‘This… This is the 7 circle Phoenix Wing!’

The Phoenix Wing was a fire magic that wouldn’t die down until it hit its target .

This magic was so strong that a shot from the Phoenix Wing could even melt steel .

The wizard looked around the place after the wizard was almost done chanting .

It was going to be troublesome to deal with white magic attack . To confront that attack, Luke would have to use his skills .

Luke decided to talk to Philip .

“Sir Philip, you trust me, right?”

“Yes, I trust you . ”

From the moment when his Lord had gone against Juan’s group, Philip had immense respect for his Lord .

He had no specific reason to believe in Luke, but he didn’t want to betray Luke who had believed in him when no one else did .

“Okay, don’t be surprised no matter what I show or do . ”

When Luke said that, the wizard unleased Phoenix Wing .

Kooo!

A 7 circle magic, the firebird really looked like the legendary Phoenix itself .

The sound of the air burning could be heard along with the cry of the Phoenix .

Luke chanted his spell and aimed his right hand at the firebird that was rushing toward them .

“Dark Impact!”

The purple light from Luke’s hand shone brightly, and the space began to distort .

The firebird which was rushing toward them like a tornado got torn into pieces and flames scattered in all directions .

‘That is dark magic!’

The wizard’s eyes went wide upon seeing Luke’s skill .

The wizard thought that the skill of the young man was praiseworthy . The wizard thought that Luke was just a man who had been pulled in by the offer of the traders . He was a villain who was learning the dark magic!

However, the wizard realized something .

‘No, this dark magic is different . This is just like…’

While the wizard was a little flustered, Luke went ahead and released quick magic attacks .

The flustered wizard tried to stop Luke’s charge .

However, Luke was faster than what the Wizard had expected . As a result, after the wizard used a wind cutter spell, Luke used Blink spell to avoid it ahead of time .

“You want to play tag, huh?” Said Luke who appeared behind the wizard with the help of Blink .

The wizard tried to catch him . However, the wizard’s hands just passed through Luke .

‘This is Illusion magic? Plus invisibility magic!’

Two different magics had been manifested simultaneously .

It was known as Double-Casting .

In addition, Luke had already grasped his opponent’s tactics .

The wizard’s skills and performance were that of a 7 circle wizard .

Puah!

‘This is…!’ Before Luke could think .

He had been hit with the wizard’s golden staff .

Luke realized once again that he was overpowered by his opponent .

While staying hidden, he thought of using a magic attack, but he took a direct hit instead .

In addition, the wizard used a 7 circle Strength magic to raise her power momentarily .

If the wizard didn’t hold back, then Luke would have coughed up blood and fell down .

Luke twisted his body, and the guardian pendant that Reina had given, reduced the impact of the blow .

Woong?!

‘What, what is this?’ The wizard thought .

The moment the wizard’s staff touched Luke, the wizard sensed some strange unknown power in him .

Focused on that mysterious mana, the wizard hadn’t realized that her attack had failed .

Luke used that chance to retreat .

Luke had realized that he wasn’t good enough and decided to use one of the demon’s powers .

“Sonic Wave!”

“Kyaaak!”

The moment the wizard realized it, it was too late, and an ultrasonic shock had already hit her .

With the unexpected wave that hit her body, the wizard screamed out of pain and flew back .

She bounced back while smashing through several trees and then hit the ground .
