"Kill him! Fire!"
The bowmen released their bows. They got halted on their trajectory.
"What!?"
The soldiers exclaimed in confusion.
"A whole battalion of soldiers. What a massacre this will be."
The arrows slowly face towards them.
"How about we cut off some of you. Besides there are a thousand of you right?"
The arrows are then thrown back to them at a much faster speed than when they are launched by the bow.
In an instant. Those hundreds of arrows killed a lot of the melee fighters.
"Now. There are a few hundreds of you now. So. Will you fight on and still go on marching? Well, you had to kill me first before that."
What seems to be the commanding officer has called a retreat.
"Retreat! Hurry!"
"Good. That is nice. Retreat. But I don't enjoy those deaths. Let's add more."
Thousands of metal daggers have been formed out of nowhere in the sky and rain downwards to them.
A few hundreds more are then killed.
"No! This is just a massacre! This is not fair!"
"Just keep running!"
"Yes!"
But they ultimately died by those daggers too.
"Run!"
"This is fun. I love seeing people despairing, after all."
After that. Only less than two hundred is left for a thousand people before.
"Don't go this way anymore. I'm warning you."
"Retreat! We promise that we will get back to you! You monster!"
"I hope so."
And the soldiers ran at their top speed towards to wherever they are retreating to.
Takao then flew back to the village.
"What happened?"
"I droved them away."
"Thank you so much. We said we would join."
"Yes. Then. We all will now set out."
"Huh? Now? Where?"
"To my kingdom... No. Magedom."
"I see. Then how are we gonna transport almost a hundred people?"
"We will fly."
"What?"
"Just take all that you wanted to take. We all will transport it right away."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Fly?"
"Just tell everyone to take everything they need. If you stay here for another day. We don't know what will happen."
"Yes. Everyone! Take all things that are necessary! We will get out of the village."
"By the way. You could even take your furnitures with you. Everything you need. We could just create more houses when we got there."
"Then we would have to wait a few days for all our houses?"
"No. I will create it right away."
"What?"
"Say no more. Just take everything you all need. Chief."
"Yes."
Takao ascends to the sky and looked down.
Let's see. There are... 36 houses. That is easy.
"Everyone! From now on! I am your King! The Mage King!"
"Yes!"
"Let us go. I will give you a proper place to live on."
All of them flew. Together with all of their things. All villagers couldn't believe that even a single thing is not left behind. Only the houses.
3:00 PM
"Everyone! They are arriving!"
"Welcome back! Takao-san!"
"Here are people of a village. The other two will join us by tomorrow."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Umm... Mage King? Where are we going to put our things. Our houses? Where?"
"Don't worry. Let's go over there. Tell the Chief-san. I will take care of this first."
"Yes."
They walked over outside the village while all their things floating while following them.
"Here is your houses."
He just slowly raised his hands and many houses have been created. More like an exact replica of their village. But in a much better condition as it is made out of concrete.
"It's our village..."
"Yes it is. Then. Take your things inside them. And start the usual things that you did every day."
"Thank you so much!"
All of them knelt and bowed to him.
"We promise that we will be worthy of your magnanimity!
"It is nothing. Then, I will be on my way to do my things."
"Yes!"
Takao strode forward. But created walls around the newly formed houses that connect to the other village before leaving.
All are now set. It is now time for bigger things.
"With this. I will surely catch the attention of everyone. All the royalties. Nobles. And other kingdoms. I will make this world mine."
Meanwhile in the Arwana army camp.
"What?"
"Yes General. He kills hundreds of us in just a matter of seconds! It is a truly hellish experience. Even our shields have no match for those daggers that appeared out of nowhere!"
"A priest?"
"I don't know. But he called those villagers his subjects."
"Hmmm... We had to assassinate him."
"Then who is capable of doing that? We may need your power for this. General."
"No. Send the three. They are capable of it. I have many things to do here. I can't go."
"Yes! I will tell them right away."
"You know where his location right?"
"Yes. The scouts followed him back. He's located at a certain village. He's highly dangerous. The scouts said he's able to make a lot of people float and could create many structures with just a wave of a hand."
"That is impossible. No priest is able to do that."
"The scouts said that he proclaimed himself as The Mage King on that village we're about to seize before going to his own village. They said it looked like a city already. There are high walls made of concrete stones."
"We may need that person's power. If we're not able to make him join us. Kill him. Tell the three."
"Yes! I will move right away!"
"Go ahead."
The commander then arrived at a certain tent.
"You three. You're up. We are saving you as trump cards. But now we had to use you. Here. Kill him."
"This person? Hmm... Why us? Can't you deal with him?"
"We can't. Let me tell you this. He's highly dangerous. He's more likely a priest. But he said he's The Mage King. Please be careful."
"Ha!? Do you know who are we?"
"Atrox? Don't be cocky please. If he's dangerous. We had to be careful."
"Shut up. Presny."
"But..."
"You too. No need to argue."
"We're not arguing Raske-kun."
"Yeah, yeah. We're not arguing Raske."
"Let's just do the job."
"Yeah. Let's set out! Let me sate this bloodthirst of mine."
"..."
"Y, yes!"
