Chapter 74: Chapter 72 Port

In horror, the nearest twenty or so people were included in the attack range of the mass of earth and rock fragments.

Except for the members of the Fischer family who stepped back, the other seven Extraordinary Exponents stood in the front row and were attacked by the enemy first.

The terrible force instantly shredded the bodies of several ordinary people, leaving their crimson blood and torn flesh scattered on the ground, with wailing and screaming erupting among the crowd!

“Damn it!”

The old priest glared angrily, and as the most experienced, he immediately cast the spell “Circle of Water” in front of him to create a liquid shield, protecting himself from the attack,

Aaron managed to jump away in time to avoid the attack from the earth and rock fragments.

The other Extraordinary Exponents weren’t so lucky, none of them reacted to the sneak attack, all sustaining various degrees of injury, with the sheriff, a low-level Beginning exponent, suffering the most severe wounds.

Even though he was wearing armor, he was still gravely injured by the stones hitting his internal organs; he knelt on the ground in agony, trembling non-stop, completely unable to speak.

Irene walked up without hesitation, stretching out her hand and a force as gentle and comforting as the breath of spring, smoothed over the sheriff’s injuries.

She caressed the sacred object in her arms, the situation just now was not a matter of life and death for the members of the Fischer family, so the Lord of the Lost did not give any warning.

Clearly, the Fischer family could not rely on the Lord of the Lost for everything.

Byrne took another step back, then immediately stood amidst the crowd and yelled,

“The one who just attacked is definitely that low-level Transmutation Extraordinary Exponent, don’t get too close, just throw alchemical explosives in there first!”

Rushing in recklessly was dangerous, and since the opponent didn’t have any hostages, it was better to bomb the place with alchemical explosives first and consider other options afterward.

The old priest glanced at Byrne, remembering the boy he had seen many years ago, who was timid and scared, even afraid to talk to strangers.

Now, the young Fischer could decisively issue commands among the crowd, clearly having grown a lot.

Irene, having stabilized the sheriff’s condition, ignored the expectant looks of the other injured and the pleading voices for the moment, instead, she unhesitatingly retreated into the crowd.

She watched as the patrol team blasted the entire outer wall of the manor with alchemical explosives.

“Boom!”

While not many people knew, Irene’s healing power also consumed a faint amount of Spirituality, and if she used too much, she would be completely out of tricks later.

Therefore, she decided that it was necessary to heal the severely wounded Extraordinary Exponents first, while the others could be temporarily ignored.

The alchemical explosives were thrown, and after a barrage of explosions, the walls were leveled, turned to rubble, but Byrne saw no signs of the enemy.

Obviously, the enemy had escaped right after the successful sneak attack.

The old priest sneered and said, “The Isaacs are all very cunning fellows.”

“One team stays here to search, the rest come with me, I know where they are.”

The old priest, a high-level Beginning Spellcaster, could master up to three spell models, and the spells he learned were “Circle of Water,” “icicle,” and “Summoning Water Spirit,” serving for defense, offense, and enemy seeking respectively.

Through the enemy seeking effect of “Summoning Water Spirit,” the old priest sensed that two members of the family were heading towards the port.

Either escape into the vast, endless jungle or flee to sea from the port—having predicted the two most likely choices, the old priest left Summoning Water Spirits hidden along the necessary paths to those destinations in advance.

As expected by the old priest, Lady Isaac and her brother were on their way to the port.

The other Transmutation level Extraordinary Exponent stayed behind to attract attention with sneak attacks, buying time for his siblings to escape.

Indeed, it was a very clever plan!

The old priest took all the Extraordinary Exponents to the port, intending to intercept Lady Isaac and her brother while expecting the Transmutation level Knight Extraordinary Exponent to possibly arrive at the port and join his family members.

If the opponent didn’t choose to come to the port, he simply abandoned the plan to capture or kill that powerful being.

Having lived for so many years, the old priest knew deep down the vast difference between Transmutation and Beginning.

Capturing Lady Isaac and her brother was easy, but trying to kill that powerful foe would surely lead to heavy casualties.
