Chapter 309 - Missing Clue (2) (1/2)

The three bandits consist of two thieves and a swordsman. The third bandit, who was a swordsman, shouted, ”Fight like a brave man, you coward!”

The third bandit was very furious about this sneak attack. As the leader out of the three bandits, he commanded the other two, ”Maintain your vigilance. Don't let the enemy take you down!”

Another [Fire Bolt] made way to the three bandits. However, as the bandits already knew they were under attack, they were very alert. It was difficult to take down an alerted enemy from far away.

With no choice, Semial came out and showed himself. He was the only melee among Auron's group. However, he was still far away from the three bandits' location.

The third bandit also saw Semial showed himself. So, he came up with a plan and whispered to the other two. He had to take a safety measure since the mage didn't come out.

The three bandits slowly move to Semial's location while Semial just stood there waiting for the enemy to come. Another [Ice Bolt] came and deflected by the enemies easily.

When the three bandits almost arrived at Semial's location, a shadow came out from behind a tree nearby and attacked them.

As soon as this shadow came out, Semial also got into action. He charged towards the three bandits. The three bandits stopped moving and raised their weapons.

The third bandit who was the only swordsman faced up against Semial's charge and blocked the attack.

The shadow took out a dagger and slashed towards the nearby enemy. However, the second bandit had aware of the shadow's action and used his dagger to block the attack.

Both of the attack was blocked entirely by the third bandit and the second bandit. Meanwhile, the first bandit didn't prevent any attack had looked at the shadow's direction.

As the shadow's attack was blocked by the second bandit, the first bandit wanted to aid. He attacked the shadow.

However, before his attack arrived at the shadow, the shadow launched a [Fire Ball] towards him in a close range. The first bandit caught off guard. He thought that the shadow was a thief. He never thought that it was a mage.

With his reflexes, he quickly raised his dagger in front of him to block the spell. The spell hit his weapon. However, [Fire Ball] was an explosive spell. Moreover, it was launched in such a close range. Although the spell was blocked, the first bandit got blown by the spell.

A surprised look was shown in the first bandit's face. Although he was caught off guard, but as a professional, he would not give up that easily. He already thought of a plan to join hand with the second bandit to pressure the mage.
