Chapter 263 - Reinforcements (2/2)

Hearing the sounds of spells being cast, the guard could not help but scoff at Argentum and Blob as he said, ”So what if you cast spells? Would that even bring any change to the resu—!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Of course, akin to what happened some time ago, just as the guard was about to finish with his statement, Blob unhesitatingly went ahead and appeared in front of his field of vision in an instant, sending a punch filled with the zenith of his strength towards the man's face. This time though, due to the number of buffs that had been cast on him, with the buffs Argentum cast on him a while ago still applying their effect, the strength behind the punch was greatly amplified.

Not only did the guard go through the holes he had made a while ago, but he also made holes through all of the houses he was sent flying towards this time, only stopping as his head became stuck on the walls protecting the town from beasts at night. At the moment the guard collided with the stone walls, everyone in the surroundings heard a loud thud resound throughout the town, with the guards surrounding Argentum and Blob having light smiles on their faces.

As for Argentum and Blob, Argentum went ahead and gave Blob a thumbs up just as he went back to his original position, saying, ”Nice punch.”

”It was incredibly satisfying,” Blob said before letting out a chortle.

And just like that, the impasse from before had come back, continuing for far longer than ten minutes as everyone realized that the guard from before would not come back anymore from that attack. The force behind that attack alone would definitely put someone at Rank 3 out of commission, even more so for a Rank 2 that was not at their peak yet.

But unfortunately for Argentum, Blob, and the guards, this impasse would not last for long as an entity that radiated an aura far stronger than the guard from before had finally appeared in front of them. This entity wore quite some nice clothes, exuding the feeling that he had a decent amount of wealth. Not only that, but if one looked closely, a few particles of energy surrounded his body, making everyone realize that this entity had a class that was related to magic.

At this moment, this entity was currently hovering a few meters away from where the guards, as well as Argentum and Blob, were. An expression of dissatisfaction on his face, he said in a cold tone, ”To steal something that I own, the only end I want for you two…”

”…is death.”

”Inner Protection Array, activate!”

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In less than an instant, a barrier that enveloped the town was formed, imbuing the guards that were just standing with a sense of strength that far surpassed their own. On the other hand, Argentum and Blob felt like their strength had gotten weaker, but it was not at a point that they could not brute force their way in exuding their full strength.

In fact, Argentum could not help but inwardly chuckle at the current situation as he sent a strand of energy to Blob, saying, ”Time to move to the final phase of our plan. He's the one that's giving off the feeling we both felt a while ago.”

”No need to hold back anymore,” he added, which made Blob radiate an aura of immense elation.

”But just in case…” he muttered to himself soon after that, channeling the energy that was circulating throughout his body as a connection with a certain being had been formed in an instant. A few seconds later, a familiar voice resounded in his mind.

”Hello? Is that you, Argentum?”

”Yes, it's me. How could it be someone else?”

”Well…fair point. So, what made you talk to me?”

”Could you head towards Verdant Breeze Town?”

”What for?”

”I just have something I need your help with.”

”Hmm…alright. Is it combat-related?”

”I guess you could say that.”

”Give me a few minutes if that's the case. You could stall for that long, right?”

”Yeah, no need to worry about that.”

”Alright, see you in a few minutes then, Argentum.”

”Alright. See you in a few minutes…”

”Felix.”
