136 The Hypnotising Attack (2/2)
Then just as he was about to throw up, he was done.
John collapsed on to the ground as he started to pant.
”I'm never... doing... that again...”
He then threw up on the sand
He washed his mouth with water he created from aqua and looked around. He was surprised that he actually managed to pull it off.
He wall which stretched out over 50 meters and curved at the end, so that the people who were hypnotised couldn't just go around it, but instead, would have to go back and around.
If you looked at it from above, it would look like the half of a circle was covering the beach. Not only that, but the walls were over 3 meters high and reinforced...
John watched as those who were hypnotised, bumped their faces on to the earth wall consecutively. Thankfully, it had sand in it to soften the impact and was reinforced so that it wouldn't break apart.
[Since they're hypnotised, do you think they'll think about going back and around?] John asked
[…]
[Zestari?]
[Curving it was a good idea... while hypnotised, some may not be smart enough to think about going all the way around. But it's not too soon to celebrate, you only covered around 75% of the people, the others are either already swimming or weren't put inside of this circle you created.] Said Zestari
”So now it's time to save those who've gone swmming huh...” Said john as he created a small exit to pass through so that he could get to the water
[You won't be able to save everyone] Said Zestari
[I know that...But I'll still try to save as many as I can] John replied

As john was about to leap straight into the water, someone stopped him
”Where do you think you're going without us?”
It was a very familiar voice,
”You're not forgetting your party members now, are you?”
John turned around, and it was his 2 close friends, Serena and Ariel, and behind them. There were around 20 others
”Who are they?” John asked
”My name is Watlon, like some of the others you see here, I'm an adventurer and a magician. We'd like to help. With all honesty, I first planned on escaping with my family, but when I saw you create that wall to help everyone, I was moved. Will you please allow us to help you?” He asked
A tall man with long red hair which stretched down to his shoulders and red eyes. John felt like he'd be reliable, and all the others as well.
”Of course, but... With all of you here, i have a plan which could save as many as possible. Does anyone mind if I suggest it?” john asked
Even if he was strong, he was still a kid, for an operation like this to be led by a kid...
”Of course not!”
”Tell us what to do!”
”You're the boss, kid!”
John who heard this formed a small smile
”The plan is simple...”

”I see... With this we should be able to buy enough time before the royal knights arrive.” Said one of the adventurers
[Royal knights?]
[A special group of knights who deal with large scale, dangerous attacks against a city or kingdom. It's obvious that a city like this would have one. They're strength is on par with A-Rank adventurers, and their strongest members are on par with S-Ranks.] Said Zestari
”I can't guarantee you guys will live... This plan is a bit risky...” Said john
”Huh? Who cares about that?”
”We're adventurers we spend years risking our lives”
”And if this is successful, I'll be able to drink and boast about it all day.”
”That's right. We're all aware of the risks, so don't worry.” Said Watlon
”Is that so... Then... Let's move out” Said john
”Yeah!” They shouted as they followed behind him
With 25 mages, john wasn't sure whether his plan would turn out successful. To save 50 people who were most likely already drowning in the water while going against over 40 fallen mermaids. It was a big risk, but risks were all part of being an adventurer
”How the hell did things turn out like this... Can't the kingdom be more safer or buff up the security around the beach?” John mumbled
