Chapter 16
"SMOKE"
"ANALYZE"
I can't see anything because of the smoke spell I used but I can sense the apprentices casting magic around me, ran to the one in the far end, who seems to casting a long-range attack. I reached close enough and "WATER BLADE" the one in the end fell down with a scream.
Then suddenly the huge man who was leading the group ran towards me, he must be at least a knight considering his strength and speed, I dodged his incoming attack but got hit by his sword on my hand. He is dangerous, I should take him out next, I shot a magic bullet to his side, and threw a rune card on the floor and moved as far as I can with shadow steps.
BOOM.
That was the explosion card I made, it explodes after 5 seconds, the explosion is enough to kill any wizard apprentice who didn't see it coming.
The smoke skill started to fade away because of the explosion. As it faded, I saw three of the thieves left standing, one was on the floor bleeding heavily and the other was burned to ashes.
The ones left was confused seeing the death of their leader and support. All of them chanted at once.
"Fireball"
"Wind slash"
"Shadow Bind"
All of them attacked at once, can't dodge all of them at once, I took out the other rune card from my pocket, and activated it. A transparent shield covered me whole.
The shield broke after their continuous attacks, I took out the bullet card at used it against one of them, used reinforcement on myself and kicked the man in front in gut, the man was sent back spitting blood from his mouth.
The other one was enraged
"You fucker... Fireb"
"Water slash" before he could cast the spell, I used mine and killed him.
The one I used the bullet card on was on the floor. He looked at me and begged
"Please don't, I have a son an..."
Pierce.... a magic bullet pierced between his brows.
"I don't want to hear your sad life story".
"DAAD" I heard a sound from the bushes. A small boy at least 6 or 7 years old was near the guy I kicked in the gut; he was still breathing. The boy was kneeling next to him, tears were flowing from his eyes.
"Plea do nt hurt my son" the man begged looking at me while throwing up blood from his mouth.
I walked and took the space ring I threw in the air. Took out the sphere and pierced the man's chest.
"Noooo Daaaad" the boy next to him started crying and screaming. There were tears flowing from his eyes. His eyes were filled with sadness, anger and most of all despair.
"How beautiful, is this how my eyes looked when my mother was killed?" I said to myself.
The boy did not run away more like he could not run away, he just kept looking at me with that despair filled eyes. I could let him live after all he is innocent and just 6 or 7 years old.
I took the spear and stabbed the boy's neck and gave him a fast death. I can't let him live, he is a not only a witness but he will never forget this moment for the rest of his life, he would do anything he could to find and kill me, I know it better than anyone else.
Theodore Betton and father thought the same and decided not to kill me, huge mistake on their part they should have killed me that day along with Layla.
As I thought of the unhappy memories, I searched the dead bodies of the thieves. I got few 100 magic stones, some useless weapons and three spell scrolls containing the spells, hypnotise, fire spear and search. The hypnotise and search are useful for me.
I got a wound on my hand, on my back some scratches all over, I completely used up all my mana and used three rune cards. I lost a lot in this fight; I went back into the town and got a room to rest and tend my wounds I cannot complete my mission this way.
I gulped down a healing potion and poured another on the wounds. Then I just laid down on the bed thankfully I cleaned myself after the fight using magic. I need to increase my mentality I used up all my mana my head hurts, the reinforcement spell is useless I should find a ritual to fix my constitution.
The next day I cleaned myself up, got ready and left to the forest. This time I made sure that no one was following me.
After half an hour I had collected more than 20 blue crystal weeds.
I decided to go back, since the forest in the Gargia Island is for newbie, there weren't any dangerous monsters, except some Wolves and Bores which were not even ranked since they can't use magic.
I came back to the academy. And handed over the weeds.
I was pretty disappointed at myself, I only survived the attack because of the analyze skill, if not I would be dead.
I went to my room laid down.
"Hey Olaf is there a ritual to improve my constitution".
"I know one but it I don't have it, as per my master's memory there is a ritual to increase your weak constitution in the inheritance ground. I suggest you reach rank 3 fast and find it" Olaf had a stern expression as he said this.
"Did you find any meditation method that can help me" I asked Olaf
During this month I had copied many spells and meditation technique, since I can't learn all of them, I had asked Olaf to find one that suits me.
