Chapter 456 - Blitz Attack (1) (1/2)

Auron immediately knocked on the door. No, more precisely, he hurriedly banged the door. The situation was dire. After slamming the door three times, the door opened.

A woman opened the door with an angry tone, ”Why are you so noisy!!! Can you knock more politely?!!”

Auron looked at the woman. He wanted to apologize and tried to explain the situation. However, he was shocked when he saw the woman. The woman was Julia.

”You!” Julia also recognized Auron as they were coming from the same group.

However, before Julia could ask further, she heard the commotion. As this village was small, what happened at the entrance could be heard in all villages.

Julia asked Auron, ”What happened? Who is that?”

”Quick! Help me! He wanted to kill me!” Auron explained quickly.

”What? Why?” Julia was confused.

”No time, where is the other?” Auron asked.

What Alice had given to Auron was the location of the decoy group that the military had sent. When separated, Auron was given the decoy group's place while Alice went to the rest of the group members.

”Everyone has left investigating, only I am left here alone for the moment,” Julia said.

This village was the first village where the missing person case occurred. That was why the decoy group was stationed here and used this village as their base operation.

Julia quickly prepared to battle. Not long after, after killing the guards, the cloaked man had chased Auron to the house.

The cloaked man had known that Auron came here must be looking for reinforcement. When he saw that Auron's helper was another woman, the cloaked man felt worried. As he had fought against Alice, he didn't dare to underestimate this woman.

The cloaked man attacked Auron. However, he was still wary of Julia's presence.

Julia quickly chanted her [Wind Bolt]. The cloaked man blocked the incoming spell. Now, the cloaked man knew that Julia was also a mage. However, he could deduce that Julia was weaker than Alice.

Knowing Julia's strength, the cloaked man's confidence rose. He unleashed his several attacks.

Julia was also a close combat mage. However, she was still not proficient in a close combat fight. She preferred more to attack from far away.

That was why when the cloaked man attacked, Auron moved to the front and blocked the attack for her. Meanwhile, Julia also took several steps back and used her spell to attack.

Although this was the first time the two of them cooperated, they seemed had to know each other for a long time.
