61 The Struggle. (1/2)

It was in the middle of the night when Sester City was overwhelmed with panic and confusion among the commoners.

Clouds had covered the Moon, so the only significant source of light was the burning estate of the Count. Due to the size of the explosion, the fire still burned and illuminated the surroundings.

On one side of the city, there was the commotion of the civilians, while on the other hand, a different battle took place.

If anyone with good eyesight looked in the forest, they would notice the raging battles between tens of Rank-5 and above Mercenaries with Magical Beasts!

The situation here favored the Mercenaries as even though the Beasts fought together, they could not coordinate their attacks.

Many of the Beasts died, but the Mercenaries did not have time to collect the materials. Instead, they hoped over the dead bodies to advance further.

If anyone looked at this scene, they would be surprised because each one of those Rank-5 Beast was worth hundreds of Silver Coins!

The Mercenary teams did not collect the corpses because everyone wanted to complete the mission, which was worth a hundred times more than those dead Magical Beasts!

The scene looked as if there was some war between the Beasts and the Humans. There were also several casualties on the Humans' side, but it amounted to nothing when compared to the dead Beasts.

While these people still struggled to move forward, the sight where the ritual took place also looked as if the two sides were at war!

The man in the robes protected the runes of the ritual while Edwin and his men attack them.

Anyone could point out that the situation was in the Eclipse's Order's favor. Not only were these men coordinating with each other, but they also had the numbers!

*Swoosh*

*Zmhhhmm*

Each side chanted their Magical Spells against the enemy side. The smell of the blood slowly thickened. No one had any time to tend to the wounded, you either live, or you die. There were only these two options.

Raven and Blaze also fought against the Eclipse's Order to thin out their numbers. They fared quite well since both of them also coordinated with each other.

Duke Edwin had brought many people, but the Eclipse's Order still had the numerical advantage.

Back to Ozul, he was annoyed that these people got in the way of his and his own 'self'.

But more than anything, he was irritated when he looked at these people fighting over his 'part' as if they fought over some tool! How dare they?!

Ozul looked towards the Rank-7 Fire Mage as he stood wide-eyed when he saw that his Spell had close to no effect on him!

But he was a Rank-7 Mage for a reason. His mindset was completely different from any other person.

He quickly readied himself for the battle as he knew that it wouldn't be an easy one because he had seen how Ozul did not even put an ounce of effort into protecting himself.

Duke Edwin was worried that all of his men would be killed before his fight finished because there were two Rank-7 Mages against his single Rank-7 Mage.
