Chapter 117 Leaving the empire 7 (1/2)
Mars looked outside the window, the deserted street was as lifeless as the last time he had looked at it, suddenly Victoria returned by jumping out a nearby shadow with her horns glowing
”I'm... back”
Mars kneeled down and petted Victoria on the head while he asked
”how was it?”
Victoria squinted her eyes in happiness and begun lightly purring causing the nearby Varvei to be secretly envious
”there was... a lot... of soldiers... some in mana... armor... there was... no holes... in the formation”
”well shit...”
Mars fell into thought for sometime before he picked up his sword
”Victoria you stay here and guard Varvei”
”okay...”
Varvei looked at Mars with worry in her eyes and asked
”what about you Mars?”
”I'll go scare off the imperial army”
Varvei gave a sigh and mumbled
”...why does it sound like you're just going shopping?”
Mars stood up and walked over to Varvei before he put his hand on her head and ruffled her hair
”relax”
”...fine, just promise me you'll be fine”
”I'll be fine”
”...okay then”
Mars gave a smile and ruffled her hair one more time before he lifted his hand and walked over to the window and jumped out, landing on the street Mars leisurely walked down the road until a blockade came into view there was about 20 normal soldiers with spears and two soldiers in active mana armor
'well this is trouble...'
having been part of Vanessa's squad Mars knew first hand how powerful trained soldier in active mana armor was, and there was two of them here
'there's about 5 roads out of the part of town we are in if there's two active mana soldiers per road then that means there's 10 of them in total...'
Mars gave a sigh and drew his sword, the white bone glittered in the sunlight drawing the attention of the soldiers
”there he is!”
the two mana armored soldiers drew out great swords and one of them stepped forwards
”surrender or we will use deadly force!”
”you can't just let me though?”
”no, we have orders to arrest you and the female half-dragon!”
the slightly distorted voice sounded out of the mana speaker caused Mars to give a sigh
”then I hope you find peace in the next life”
as Mars spoke a sense of pressure spread out form him and hit the soldiers, along with a came a creeping sense of dread which made them hold their weapons tightly
”F-Formation!”
one of the soldiers in the mana armor yelled, his slightly distorted voice form the mana speaker carried with it a hint of fear, the soldiers quickly formed a spear formation as all of them stared down Mars that was slowly transforming into his slightly sinister looking half-dragon form
”...well then, here I come”
Mars started walking towards the soldiers, slowly at first but he gradually picked up speed until he was in full sprint as the distance between Mars and the group of soldiers shuck until suddenly he activated [Instant movement] and disappeared from view
”where did he g---”
one of the soldiers yelled only to be literally cut short and he along with the others clutched their necks and fell over as the smell of iron spread in the nearby area, Mars reappeared in the middle of the collapsed soldiers, his sword arm was bleeding a little but Mars ignored it and looked at the two mana armor soldiers
”now for the two of you”
”you bastard!”
one of the mana armored soldiers swung down his great sword at Mars and with a loud bang did it hit the cobblestone pavement spewing pieces of rock all over the place
”did I get him?”
*CLANG*
a loud clang sounded out as Mars hit the mana armored soldier on the side of the helmet causing sparks to fly, the other soldier quickly yelled
”on you shoulder!”
the mana armored soldier quickly tried the grab Mars with his free hand but only grasped air
”where did he go!?”
”on the roof, 45 degrees left!”
”got it!”
the mana armored soldiers swung his great sword sideways into a total Innocent building to his left that quickly collapsed into ruble form the sudden impact, Mars reappeared on another roof a little ways away
”guess I should take this seriously...”
Mars begun changing his right hand with 50 units of energy while he jumped for roof to roof avoiding the great swords that was swung after him until finally his [Energy: discharge] skill was ready for use
