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.
