Chapter 234 - Launching a surprise attack (2/2)
Going first to the possible road that will be taken by the prince (and after confirming with Alaric and Linda who are constantly relaying minute by minute info to us), I decide to use my earth magic to make a large pitfalls. Make a pitfall, cover the hole back and imbued my earth mana as well, that way I could activate this pitfall at will (don't want any random stranger, or worse any one of us to fall into it). Some magician might detect the mana, so I mask it with mirage, light and dark mana as well. The land here really have abundant of those three mana. It kinda strange
(I should also add silence spell, and a large one for that, so any commotion will go unnoticed) [Ash]
Just like how I set it up back then at Kiserre, I'll do the same, just at a much larger scope. Again, blend it with the free mana floating in the air
”You sure have a lot mana” [Saint Louis]
”Have to thanks Goddess Achalasia for that” [Ash]
”They are coming!” [Alaric]
”Then we should hide first” [Seraph]
”Goddess, please help us” [Linda]
(Yeah, really need the goddess on our side now) [Ash]
The prince, inside of his carriage, with 20 of his guard. I do know they don't want to attract attention, but just who bright idea was it to let the guard still wearing their uniforms? You might as well just use the damn common road to the auction house! Seriously, somehow I feel bad attacking them, feel like I am about to attack a child with this kind of incompetency. The least they can do as to not attract any attention is change their freaking cloth!
(Ash now!) [Seraph]
~Nod~
I feel like my internal monologue just now blow away all the little nervousness I have inside, which is good since
(Pitfall trap magic! Activate!) [Ash]
”What!”
”The ground!
”It's a trap!”
”Protect the prince!”
”I don't think so! Wind magic, great wind palm! Squeeze them!” [Ash]
Making a large palm like figure from my wind magic, I forcefully push them to the bottom of the pitfall, and holding them in place as to avoid any retaliation. Not only that, I also send in my six ice shark missiles golems to neutralise them
”Light needle! Destroy their equipment!” [Saint Louis]
”I should support you” [Seraph]
Saint Louis sent it countless light needle and continue to attack the guard. They sure are strong. I reckon most will already succumbs, but some of them are already back on their feet, but not for that long
Since the presence of light mana here is strong, Saint Louis astronomical affinity to light magic become even stronger, and with how Seraph supporting him, let just said I don't want to fight them in this kind of terrain. Seraph skillfully vibrate the air and thus stimulate the light mana to resonate with Saint Louis light needle, boosting it power even further (are all bards capable of doing this?), and as for the guards equipment, most of them are tailored as to increase the output of light magic, and that very same tailoring are being exploits by Seraph as to make it broke even faster. He overloads those equipment with light mana, breaking it from inside, couple that with Saint Louis constant attack, they stood no chance whatsoever. Anti climatic, but I would take it rather than prolong fighting
(Still, that damn carriage is still intact. I know that Saint Louis here purposely avoid damaging it to his best of ability, but damn...) [Ash]
”Seraph, help me teleport all of them” [Linda]
”You have somewhere in mind?” [Seraph]
”Found an abandoned building. We could use it” [Linda]
”Then one support magic to teleport them coming right up” [Seraph]
And thus, we are teleported (not before I cover back the pitfall)
