"Will we just let them die out there? We obviously have the capability to help them, so why are we not lending them a hand! Let me out to help them, since you don't want to!" Leo exclaimed before suddenly going to the front part of the guard's wagon. The guard's wagon has two ways to enter and exit, the front and back, but since Angel was blocking the back, then he would just simply use the front.
To be honest, this kind of situation is what he really hated the most! Despite having the capability to help, he was actually restricted to offer those people a hand. If this would continue on, then he might as well just stay back in Heart city, since his status as a Mage was nothing but useless in this situation.
However, before Leo was able to reach the front exit, Elizabeth suddenly blocks his way.
"You and Cassandra stay and protect Veronica, me and Angel will lend them a hand!" Elizabeth said as she quickly exited the guard's wagon through the front exit.
Angel nodded her head after hearing Elizabeth's words as she quickly exited through the back exit.
Leo could only sit back, despite feeling really unwilling. He could only comply since the two obviously don't want him and Cassandra to help because they might reveal Veronica's whereabouts. He still understood the reason why, though. He was chased by that Magical Knight, so his identity was already known by that unknown organization. And Cassandra was someone that Dandelion knew, which might then also reveal that Leo was inside the guard's wagon the moment she lends her help. So, it was still a no. On the other hand, Elizabeth and Angel, despite being part of his group, wouldn't necessarily reveal the existence of Veronica, hence they are safe to help.
Outside, the moment Elizabeth and Angel disembarked the guard's wagon, dozens of sky blue and dark red colored magic circles covered the sky up above the guard's wagon.
"Ice Spikes, shower them!" Elizabeth called out.
"Flaming Shots, burn them to crisp!" Angel called out.
Dozens of ice spikes and fireballs came raining down straight towards the Bandit Mage's current location, piercing and burning some of them.
"You and your support!" Elizabeth pointed towards Roland, Kylie, and Natalie, "Help those who are intercepting the reinforcement and leave these bandits mages to us!" she added.
Roland and the twins didn't dare to voice out their disagreement as soon as they heard Elizabeth's order. Seeing those raining ice spikes and fireballs awhile ago, who would even dare question whether the two girls can handle all the Bandit Mages.
Putting Elizabeth's hand in front, a blue magic circle quickly appeared. Ice Mana was constantly forming within the magic circle until finally it was formed.
"Ice Chain!"
Dozens of chains made out of ice shoot out from the blue magic circle, aiming straight towards the Bandit Mages.
*Claclaclaclang! *ClaClang!
Soon after, a few Bandit Mages were trapped by the ice chains, unable to make any further move.
Putting Angel's hand in front, a dark red magic circle slowly appeared. The flame slowly formed in front of the magic circle until it finally formed a flaming circle.
"Snake Flame!"
*Whaassshhhhhhh!
A snake-like flame shoots out from the dark red circle, aiming straight towards the Bandit Mages that are currently trapped by the Ice Chain spell. Those bodies who received the flame were soon covered in flames, trying to burn them into smithereens.
Those Bandits Mages covered in flames could only roll around on the ground, quickly trying to extinguish the flames burning around their bodies. Some were burned to death while some received a first or second-degree burn around their bodies.
Suddenly, a huge explosion erupted where the reinforcing Bandits were located.
*Bang!!!
A muscular body suddenly shoots out from the sky, landing near to the location of the merchant caravan. The body was Roland; he was unconscious while the twins were within his embrace, safe and sound. The twins only received a slight injury compared to the former.
"Roland! Roland!!"
"Wake up, brother Roland!"
The twins quickly removed themselves from the embrace before shaking Roland's body, trying to wake up him up.
Fortunately, Roland was alive and breathing, though in a long interval. But he was still seriously injured. His body has a lot of large burned marks, and blood was continuously oozing out from the wound caused by crashing to the ground.
"What happened?" Angel quickly asked as soon as she arrived near Roland and the twin's location. Causing someone to fly from one place to another, specifically 20 meters. Surely something serious had happened.
"A Three Star Mage and a Magical Knight suddenly arrived. Roland, Flato, and John fought with them, but the difference in strength was just too huge for them to even cause any damage. Flato and John died after being engulfed by a lightning spell, while Roland embraced both of us after casting a Water Shield. The lightning spell hit the shield, causing it to be instantly destroyed, but it caused us to fly until here!" Kylie quickly explained while tears continue flowing down from her eyes.
Obviously, Kylie was devastated by what just happened. She had lost her two friends, Flato and John, and had even caused Roland to be seriously injured.
Hearing Kylie's explanation, Angel and Elizabeth suddenly wore an ugly expression. Both of them were still beginner Mage, so obviously they understood that they are not a match to that Three Star Mage, especially when the latter has a Magical Knight to assist.
Also, a Mage having a Star and not having a Star has a huge difference. It's like the difference between a hill and a mountain
After a Mage formed a Star in their own consciousness, they will not only increase their strength but also their capabilities in Magic and henceforth allowed access to a much more powerful Magic spell.
A Star is also like a tool that would constantly absorb Pure Mana around the Mage surrounding the moment they are created. So, the Star formed in the Mage consciousness is akin to a Mana storage for the Humans. It will help them provide a constant supply of Pure Mana, hence casting Magic spells would be a lot easier for them, since they don't need to gather Pure Mana from their surroundings anymore.
Moreover, a Mage having more Stars is also a different story to having only One star in their consciousness. Usually, one Star would be used as a storage for Pure Mana, while the other Star in their consciousness will be used to store different Element Mana, hence converting Element Mana from Pure Mana would no longer be a problem for the Mages.
Although, that Star's stored Element Mana or Pure Mana could still be exhausted, but that would only be the case if they keep on converting the Pure Mana to Element Mana and using Magic spells continuously until it exhausts the Mana stored in a Star. If they don't, then the stored Mana would be like an inexhaustible machine. The Mana within their Stars will never exhaust, not soon and not later.
"Would those people that you had told Leo before come or not?" Elizabeth turned around towards Angel and asked.
"Yes, they will! But I don't know whether we will be capable of holding them off until they arrive..." Angel said as she wore a worried look on her beautiful face.
"Tch! Then those people are still useless..." Elizabeth said as she can't help but feel disappointed with Sword and Magic.
Angel had explained to them that Sword and Magic was a powerful organization. It was indeed, really, but it would be like a joke because what's the use of that power if they can't even save the people in the merchant caravan.
"Don't worry, I have something that will make them rush to this place in no time!" Angel said before taking out a paper.
The paper that Angel took out was Spell Engraved Paper. It was a paper with a spell engraved on its body that will allow its user to use a Magic Spell based on what has been engraved on the paper.
"Then what are you waiting for? Wait until everyone dies and use it?" Elizabeth exclaimed as she was suddenly annoyed by Angel's late response to the dangerous situation.
Elizabeth can't really blame Angel. After all, the latter just learned about the existence of the Three Star Mage and a Magical Knight within the Bandits group.
"Shut up!" Angel replied before putting the Spell Engraved Paper on the ground. Afterwards, she put her hand on it, before quickly injecting Mana. Soon after, the paper began lighting up and finally, it became covered with light.
*Whoosh! *Bang! *Whoosh! *Bang! *Whoosh! *Bang!
Suddenly, fireworks with a sword and book crossed with each other lit brightly up the sky. The fireworks were just too bright, which would obviously allow White River city and Silver city to see.
"That's all?! I thought it was some kind of powerful spell capable of instant killing that Three Star Mage and Magical Knight!" Elizabeth said, disappointed once again.
Angel had sounded like the Spell Engraved Paper was some kind of secret and powerful spell of the Sword and Magic, but yet it was actually just mere fireworks.
"Just shut up and wait!" Angel said before turning around to help the ongoing fight between ordinary Bandits and the merchant caravan soldiers and mercenaries.
