Chapter 272: A Reunion of St. Lauren’s Youngest Generation (2/2)

“All of mister’s teammates… died?” Ayrin dazedly asked, “You must feel very sad?”

“……” Rinloran felt exasperated as he thought, “Does this even need to be said?”

“The best way to pay respects to your fallen comrades is to finish the mission and fight bravely.” Juan took a deep breath as he said, “Each and every one of them was a true brave warrior.”

“Mister, why don’t you withdraw? Although this battlefield seems to have become quiet, there are a lot of arcane teams cleaning up and setting blockades. There are still many teams of Evil Dragon Followers moving around… although it seems like many of them are now hiding, with how quiet the plains have become. But our teachers are still worried that we will encounter powerful Evil Dragon Followers.”

“Indeed. Mister, you couldn’t even defeat the person just now who was acting like a ghost and scaring people. Just how weak was your team… how come you were assigned such a mission? You should hurry up and run away. If you stay here, you will be in constant danger.”

After hearing Ayrin’s first words, Juan had abruptly felt full of passion. But upon hearing Ayrin and Stingham’s following sentences, he nearly slammed his head into the ground.

But right at this moment, a voice rang out from nearby, “Spectre Lucian frequently ambushed the arcane masters of the Office of Special Affairs from within the sewers, but it seems like his ship has finally flipped. He was actually defeated by such an exhausted group of students. But that magic sphere… it is indeed very interesting… is it a legendary necromantic skill of the Black Witches?”

“Who is it?”

Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham couldn’t see anyone around them as the voice seemed to ring out from every single broken windowsill, making it impossible for them to tell where this person was standing.

“Shadow Detection!”

Juan’s expression became fierce as his shadow quickly elongated and extended outwards through the buildings around them like a giant black broom.

“Heavy Shadow Strike!”

Without any pause, Juan immediately invoked another skill in succession. As the words flew out of his mouth, arcane particles madly spewed forth from his body and formed a shadow about as tall as him before him. The shadow immediately shot forth at a shocking speed towards a nearby building.

An explosion occurred.

Half of a wall was smashed, revealing a skinny arcane master wearing purple robes standing within. Light faintly reflected off of this arcane master’s body, as if their body was covered with fish scales.

After destroying the wall, Juan’s skill continued forward through the chairs and tables and towards the arcane master.

“He was able to discover a hidden enemy just like that?”

“He’s so strong? Mister, it seems like you are not so weak after all.”

Stingham cried out in surprise.

Juan didn’t answer as he looked in the direction of the newly appeared Evil Dragon Follower. From their words, it seemed like they were even stronger than Spectre Lucian.

In the face of Juan’s debris containing shadow attack, this skinny, purple robe wearing Evil Dragon Follower didn’t move at all.

A light flickered as a sturdy metal figure appeared before him.

A loud bang rang across through the area.

The shadow and debris scattered in all direction.

“Such a large metal puppet?”

Stingham’s mouth dropped open as a meter and eighty centimeter tall metal humanoid appeared before him. In its left hand, it wielded a large metal shield about half a meter thick. Carved into the face of the shield was a totem of the Evil Dragon. In its right hand, it wielded a giant and thick dagger. Its body was covered with an extremely thick looking armor. It looked like a giant lump of metal.

Moreover, there wasn’t just a single one, but four!

At this moment, a metal humanoid had appeared on every side of the scrawny arcane master.

“Those aren’t metal puppets! Those are Heavy Armor Evil Dragon Protectors!”

As Juan shouted at Ayrin, Rinloran, and Stingham, his voice trembled. He felt a storm surge through his heart.

Heavy Armor Evil Dragon Protectors were low level Evil Dragon Followers who wore Evil Dragon Heavy Armor. They moved extremely slowly, and thus acted as immobile shields for higher level Evil Dragon Followers.

For them to appear, this arcane master was definitely no ordinary person amongst the Evil Dragon Followers.

But more critically, these four Heavy Evil Dragon Protectors and high rank Evil Dragon Follower had appeared here after an arcane team had swept through every single nook and cranny. This meant that there was some kind of secret room or cellar still hidden here!

“Ayrin, Rinloran. You guys are exhausted. Let us take care of this battle.”

At this moment, an indifferent voice rang over from behind Ayrin and the others.

Ferguillo was the first to appear.

Ivan, Charlotte, and Wilde followed.
