From MC's perspective:
When I walked downstairs, I felt the hair on my body stand. So many rogue warriors are standing in front of this small inn.
And undoubtedly they are looking at me. A frown appeared on my face. Ernest and Laverne looked down as well.
Though they are Super Elite Warriors. But confronting the entire mob is a different thing altogether.
"Zack?" Laverne called out my name.
"Don't worry, just follow me," I replied without turning back.
Then I took the lead and guided the other two to the exit.
The next moment, I activated my perception ability. I know the conflict is unavoidable. Whether they are here for me or a mission. It is going to be clear in a few seconds.
As I walked out, a scar-faced warrior blocked my path.
The rogue warriors surrounded us. Seeing that the inn owner quickly locked himself.
"Ready for the fight," I said.
Ernest and Laveren looked at each other. Before bracing up for the fight.
I brought the black sword and held it in my right hand.
Through perception, I noticed something. Everyone's gaze is set on me.
The scar-faced warrior's patience dropped. He was intuitive to attack. A red flame ball appeared in his hand.
"Attack," After saying that, I dashed forward.
Laverne released her ice spikes the next second.
Ernest manipulated the soil element found in the ground to attack.
Right after, the conflict truly broke out.
The rogue warriors started to attack without showing any disregard for the public or shops.
I used my body strength to narrow the gap. I quickly evaded the incoming fireballs.
The scar-faced warrior was surprised by my sudden burst of speed.
Swoosh~
When I got near him. I used brute force to stab. The black blade easily tore through his skin defense and left him with injury.
Pfff!
Coughing up blood, the scar-faced warriors were petrified on the spot. Ignoring the horror look on his face, I swung my sword.
"No," The scar-faced warrior regretted. But it was too late to feel sorry.
Pfff!
The blade easily slits the throat. The next second, the decapitated head rolled over the ground.
His teammates retreated in fear.
Using this opportunity, I immediately sent a distress signal to the dean. She will find me soon.
Until then, I have to hold on.
"Waste," A new rogue warrior showed his appearance. He was watching from the sidelines.
He never expected the scar-faced warrior to go out soon. After spitting at his corpse, he started to attack.
Boom~
A terrible sound reverberated through the area.
Laverne easily killed the female rogue warrior using ice spikes. The special element is usually more domineering than other elements.
So seeing her ice spikes other rogue teams retreated in fear. Now the place is left with one or two rogue warriors.
Ernest also opened his account by killing two rogue warriors in succession. He suffocated them by covering their heads with sand.
Such a strange attack made others shudder.
The reason is that the strength of the rogue warriors is weak, to begin with. On top of it, they are warriors of five elements. Since they usually don't have any background.
So their practicing techniques are mediocre. Which gives them no chance against the talented warriors.
Right after the fight, the two guardians hiding in the dark sent the information to the dean.
They too noticed the anomaly. There is no reason for so many rogue warriors to attack. Unless someone hired them to attack.
You don't need a big brain to think this. Someone wanted to hurt the Saw Scale Viper Academy's students.
Clang~
I blocked the opponent's sword attack. But after recognizing his Super Elite Strength, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
When I was lost in thought for a split second. Someone attacked me with a huge boulder.
Boom~
I used the sword to block again. But the force sent me dozens of steps backward.
"Damn it," I cursed under my breath.
If it's one-against-one, then I'm not afraid. But the mob attack is taking a toll on me.
My eyes grew cold. I held the black sword in my left hand before taking out a single silver needle.
Nobody noticed my action during the commotion. Everywhere smoke and dust is rising from the ground.
The next second, I released the soul attack. I shot the silver needle at the opponent's chest who was preparing for his next attack.
Swoosh~
The distance was so close that the needle reached the target in a blink of an eye. The needle, which is covered with a thin layer of silver powder, passes through the opponent's body like a piece of paper.
When the needle left the body. I retrieved the needle back in my finger. The attack was over within seconds.
Tud!
The massive body dropped dead on the ground. Nobody noticed how he died. But other rogue warriors continued to attack.
There is competition among the rogue warriors. Some plans to reap the benefits later. While others watched from the sidelines.
But no matter what I can't fight the entire mob for long.
Swoosh~
I noticed Laverne is pushing hard. She is freezing everyone with her ice element. If this goes on, then she will consume the essence at a faster rate.
Then I saw Ernest Kirk. Unlike Laverne, his fighting style is different. He is making the enemy consume essence faster.
A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
I can stick for long but I'm not sure about them. I hope the help arrives faster.
"Zack Lockwood, die!"
The next second, a huge shout brought my thoughts back to reality.
I saw a huge burly figure bringing his ax down.
Seeing that my eyes flickered with cold glint.
I swung my sword against the giant ax.
Clang~
When the two collide with each other. A metallic sound reverberated throughout the area.
"F@ck," I cursed out loud. The force sent me several steps backward.
When I stabilize the movements. I looked at the burly figure. His giant ax doesn't seem to be simple.
There is not even a dent in it. At the same time, the strength of this person is not Initial Stage Super Elite Warrior.
"Late Stage," I mumbled under my breath.
"Step away, he is my target," The burly man threatened other warriors who were trying to gain an advantage.
His threat worked. Some of them retreated backward in fear. While other groups are waiting for the opportunity.
I looked at the Silver needle between my fingers. I don't know whether the soul attack works against the late-stage warrior.
Then I decided to try it out. The burly man again swung his giant ax against me.
...
At the same time, eyeliners sent the information back to their respective forces. As the local forces rightfully feared. This time the rogue warriors entered the city with a different agenda.
The first to discover the incident was one of the high-seat elders. The old woman tries to crouch back.
Her family owned the blue leaf inn. It's the most profitable inn in this city. Apart from the high-end inn, they also own several other inns.
When the eyeliner's news reached her ears. She feared that someone would target their family business.
Because of the overwhelming wealth generated from the inn. She can maintain the status of one of the seat elders.
She immediately summoned the current head of the family. She doesn't care about the rogue warriors. Because everyone knows they don't have any background.
But who are they targeting? If someone influential got killed in their city. Then the peaceful days of the bedrock city will be over.
Shortly after, a middle-aged man in his forties entered her room.
"Mother, what happened?" He asked. But his face clearly showed his desperation.
"Harumph," The old woman gave a cold snort. She can tell that her son probably knows the news.
"Don't hide it from me."
"What is the identity of those people?" She asked, looking at her son.
The old man recovered his bearings. But he was afraid to tell the news. He fears that his mother's health could worsen further after hearing the news.
But seeing the cold gaze of her mother. He started to speak.
"Mother, I already found out their identities. They are from the Saw Scale Viper Academy."
"If my guess is right, they are here for a mission. But don't know why? These rogue warriors are targeting them."
Hearing that old women understood something. Someone using their bedrock city for their plans.
"Go with our warriors to support them," She ordered.
The middle-aged man nodded his head before leaving. He was surprised by his mother's calmness. He still underestimated her decision-making.
Similar scenes are taking place in other places. The other seat of elders also sent their warriors in support. After knowing that the warriors of Saw Scale Viper Academy are under attack.
They don't dare to delay it anymore. If anything happens to them, then the whole city will be in danger.
