The moment the object touched the wall it began to glow brightly. The leader knew what was going to happen so he hurriedly gave out commands to his comrades.
However, before he could give out commands. The light being emitted from the object Increased.
The light was so bright that it almost blinded the guards. The light caused them to close their eyes which made the bandit unwatched. Just a second later, a loud sound resounded through the entire place.
"Damn it, the ball has exploded. I can't even see the Bandits now." The leader thought to himself.
A second or two later, a powerful shockwave akin to the explosion of tons of TNT resounded through the entire place. The shockwave was so strong that all the glass in the room shattered in less than a second.
The golden coins lying on the floor were all sent flying in different directions. Some of the gold coins also hit the guards but it didn't hurt them too much.
However, the guards were standing still without being sent flying due to the shockwave. They scanned the entire place every second but they didn't spot even a single bandit.
"Damn it, I can't see anything because of this bright light but I can sense the presence of the bandit.
Maybe the worst-case scenario had occurred, they might have escaped by now." The leader exclaimed, his voice sounding grave.
He waited for the light to fade away. Just a few seconds later, the light had decreased to an extent where opening their eyes was possible.
The guards opened their eyes and looked in the direction where they had thrown the ball. They widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw the conditions of the wall.
A big hole had formed in the wall, flame was burning the nearby wall causing them to turn into ash. Black Smoke was also coming out from the hole in the wall.
The hole was leading outside, the Bandits were nowhere to be seen. It didn't take a genius for them to understand where they went.
"How did they create such a hole in the walls? These walls are made up of the strongest metal available in the kingdom" A guard said, his voice carrying disbelief.
"Let's not talk about that for now. We will must chase the bandits" Eilo exclaimed, his voice carrying seriousness
When the leader heard that, he quickly gave out new commands to his comrades.
"Guys, chase the bandit, they must not have gotten too far away. We can't allow them to escape with that item!!" The leader's loud voice resounded through the entire place.
When the guards heard his command, they snapped out of their disbelief and nodded their heads. A few seconds later, they charged through the hole, as the leader less the squad.
At the same time at the boundaries of the barrier where Lucius was fighting with the enemies.
A big red barrier was extending from the bottom to the height of 100 meters. Within the boundaries of this barrier, around a dozen people could be seen.
Lucius along with his summons was battling the E- Grade Bandits.
A bandit was charging towards Lucius, with his sword directed towards his heart. The sword of the bandit was just a few cm away from his heart. Just as he had lost all of his way to survive, a miracle happened.
A magic circle appeared below the body of the bandit who was just a few cm away from him.
Chains extended from the magic circle which completely immobilized, the sword stopped when it was a few cm away from his heart.
The chains were rapidly absorbing demonic energy from the bandit
"This is the chance," Lucius thought to himself.
He decided to create distance between them to save himself from being killed. When Lucius got further away, he turned his attention to the bandits outside. He saw the sealer mage channeling mana throughout his body.
From a single glance, Lucius could tell that he was responsible for restraining the bandit who was about to kill him.
"I wonder why he stopped him from killing me. Regardless, it's good for me. I should now stay in defensive mode.
Maybe, I should summon some more flame warriors, I have a total of 6. I can summon more by consuming mana recovery potion." Lucius thought to himself as he channeled mana through his sword.
As he was preparing to launch a devastating strike towards the target. Lucius heard a loud sound from a distance and a shockwave was also produced. It was coming from the direction where the vault was located.
The shockwave was quite weak since it had lost a lot of its power due to the distance that it covered. Hence, the shockwave didn't affect them too much.
When the bandits heard the sound of an explosion, a smirk appeared on their faces.
When Lucius saw the bandits smirking l, he knew that something was wrong.
"I just hope that they are safe and have somehow managed to stop the bandit from succeeding in their goals," Lucius thought to himself.
"They have got hold of the item that we are here. We need to hurry and finish him off without using that power" The mage who was outside exclaimed as he began to channel mana throughout his body.
Just a few seconds later, a big Magic circle formed above the bandit. The magic circle was red, just from its sheer size Lucius could tell it was very dangerous.
"This spell is very dangerous, I need to take as much preparation as I can to survive this" Lucius exclaimed as he channeled mana into his sword.
A thick layer of mana engulfed his sword from top to bottom. A notification also flashed in his retina.
(You have used 50 mana to strengthen your aura.
Current Available Mana: 228).
Lucius ignored the notification flashing in his retina, he quickly signaled the Book of Creation to come near him. He opened up the page containing the details of Flame Warrior.
He began to channel mana throughout his body. Within the span of a few seconds, two magic circles appeared on the ground. Just a few seconds later, a flame warrior materialized above the magic circle.
"Stand by and wait for my commands. Also don't get more than 25 meters away from me" Lucius commanded his summons who were awaiting his orders.
The summons nodded their head when they heard that and waited patiently.
(You have summoned two flame warriors)
(Your mana has dropped by 160
Current available: 68)
Lucius felt a sense of weakness when he finished the summoning, it was normal considering his low mana. He quickly gulped another potion. A notification flashed in his retina after he gulped the potion.
(You have consumed low tier mana potion)
(Your mana has increased by 200
Current available mana: 268)
The weakness that Lucius was feeling faded away just a few seconds after he consumed the mana recovery potion.
Lucius stared at the magic circle without moving an inch. He stared at the magic circle like his life depended on it.
A few seconds later, a large ball of flames began to come out of the magic circle. The ball of flame had a radius of a few meters.
A few seconds later, the magic circle charged the ball like a bomb coming out from a cannon.
The ball of flame was charging toward him at an incredible speed.
"This will surely kill you" The bandit exclaimed, his face had become quite pale.
When Lucius saw the ball of flame, he felt mortal danger coming from it. Lucius knew that he couldn't slash it in half with his current strength. As for dodging, he was not sure whether he could dodge or not.
"What should I do to survive?" Lucius thought to himself.
His mind began to race as he began to think of a way to survive. Lucius thought for the next few seconds but he couldn't think of any plans.
