Chapter 20 - Kraz city under attack (Finale)

Mazak has been in this world for around a year and a half and he has seen many spectacular views, crazy animals and of course different races and their wars. From what he's concluded, Humans are the most vast race of all different races (there are more humans than the other races) whilst dragons, elves and high elves being the very few of their races left.

Many races that are near extinct go into hiding and carefully proceed with every step, step-by-step. This includes the three mentioned (dragons, elves and high elves). Dragons are the strongest in the world with not many rivals or hunters however they are still on the brink of extinction due to many hunts and greed of the different races.

Elves and high elves are also in the extinction zone with not many of them remaining in the entire world. The reason why elves are near extinction is because of defensive wars caused by humans and other human like species wanting to expand their territory and have to get through the elven territory. Elves were continually reduced until they abandoned everything they had and went into deep hiding, even Mazak hasn't seen many of them.

Elves and high elves are also different as both have a much higher aptitude with magic and they can control the power of nature however elves can only live a few hundred years whereas high elves can live thousands, they can possibly even have an immortal lifespan if they don't act recklessly. High elves also originally had a much much lower birth rate whereas normal elves had a much higher birth rate and this is what made the high elves special.

Finally, humans are vast and spread and rule much of the world however they cannot cooperate with each other and regularly have many wars with each others whilst also destroying their enemies or the terrain and their original inhabitants. They fight to satisfy their greed, they fight for gold, resources, land and sometimes even ingredients, such as dragon or another higher beings egg.

The humans attacking Trawcray empire are only here to plunder resources and take their territory whilst also slaughtering the innocent civilians. This is unacceptable in the knights honour and also a reason why Mazak has no empathy for the attackers.

Mazak arrived on the closest battlefield to where he last was. He arrived to the sight of the defensive squadron repelling the attacking forces. This confused Mazak however he soon noticed the human wizard at the back of the lines using magic to heal and attack the soldiers. Mazak was not noticed by anyone and most likely wouldn't until he made a move.

After waiting for a minute he decided that this location will be safe as he hasn't seen any reinforcements coming from any directions and the attackers are losing numbers quicker than the defensive soldiers. After concluding this thought he stealthily moved to the next area after getting a stealth kill.

This occurred quite often around the last line of defence. Mazak only interfered with two more battles whilst pot-shotting any Calibrica soldiers that were attempting an assault.

This battle for the city of Trawcray lasted the entire night and only ended at daybreak when the last soldiers either surrendered or fled the battle.

Mazak finally lowered his guard after fighting for around half a day, he headed to where the last safe zone was located, in the direct centre of the city.

This zone was not large at all however it was the most strategic place for a last line of defence and luckily they held.

Mazak was just about to walk into the safe zone when he was suddenly stopped.

"Stop right there! Identify yourself!" A stern voice came from his side. This person came out of a nearby medical tent.

"I've come to offer assistance, rest easy" Mazak casually replied.

"I said identify yourself!" The guard asked again but with a hint of coldness in his words.

"My name is Mazak and I returned here not too long ago, I'm an adventurer" Mazak further replied.

"Mr Mazak? You're the high elf adventurer yes? If you are, you must have you're identification on you." Announced the guard.

"My identification is back in my home as I didn't leave with it and I only just came back last night and have been helping the multiple defensive lines repel the Calibrica soldiers" helplessly Mazak replied honestly.

"If you wait here for a little bit I can get confirmation on what you've stated" said the guard before quickly leaving to talk to another guard to confirm whether what Mazak said was true.

After waiting for a minute and a half the guard finally returned with a better mood.

"we've had to do security checks since the invasion last night and we're still tending to the wounded, sorry for stalling you but you should get a identity card so you won't be stopped at these checkpoints" the soldier requested in a now calm and peaceful attitude.

"Thank you and will do, keep it up and if they come back I'll deal with them" Mazak finally concluded this conversation with this statement.

After walking for a few minutes he finally reached a large building, to be precise it was the lords castle. This castle was being used as the major wound treatment facility as it held around seven tenths (7/10) of all wounded Trawcray soldiers and citizens that were injured in this battle of Trawcray city.

He headed on inside the castle without waiting for anyone to greet him in. Everyone was too busy to greet anyone, at most they'd only greet the lord and anyone who has an important position.

Mazak walked over to the person in charge of the treatment facility, the person was a middle - high rank human wizard who focused solely on medical practices and methods with the help of magic.

"Excuse me, is there any way I can help with the treatment of these wounded?" Mazak inquired whilst slightly startling the wizard.

"Oh uh, do you know any healing magic? preferably if you have any healing spells they would be of very good assistance, most people here are not any magic users but there are a few here however the they've been using all their mana for too long and have had to rest" the wizard calmly collected himself and said with a tired face.

Immediately Mazak browsed through his knowledge of the magic spells he knew of which casted healing type spells and finally found a perfect spell which casted a healing ring with a diameter of 200 metres and healed everyone inside it 35% of their max health, the spell was called Healing song.

Without a second thought Mazak immediately started chanting the healing spell and after a few seconds everyone within 200 metres of Mazak started hearing quiet bells and angelic songs that literally came from the sky above, after a few seconds of the noises coming from the sky, little flakes of what appeared to be light shined in a golden colour descended onto everyone.

With each flake that landed on someone, the brightness they emitted dazzled and then disappeared into the persons body. This immediately had an effect on anyone that it touched, whether they were inside or outside, the flakes reached everyone and they started healing wounds at a rapid rate and it was definitely visible to the eye.

The most fatally wounded soldiers started recovering and no longer needed intense treatment which relieved many medical practitioners and healers.
