It seemed that all bustling streets had a quiet alley in stark contrast.
Lanbei Street was no exception.
At this moment, in a narrow alley no more than two meters wide behind it,
Colin stared expressionlessly at the two wizards in front of him, clutching the Cone Bullet in his hand as he coldly said,
"Scram!"
Although he hadn't heard all the bald wizard's words, without guessing he knew that this so-called "taking care" of business mostly meant paying off a disaster.
Such things were useless to escape or avoid with pretense.
If things went according to their rhythm, sooner or later a conflict would arise.
Only by showing his power decidedly could he rid himself of such entanglements in time.
Of course, all this was under the assumption that the seal-faced man in front of him wasn't a blind fool.
But unfortunately—
The bald wizard in front of him clearly couldn't understand his own standing.
At this moment, his face gradually darkened, and he barked angrily,
"What a big tone! Kid!"
"This is not any small place you've stayed before!"
"I've been here at Bananka Island for so many years, and I've never encountered anyone as presumptuous as you upon their arrival!"
Colin heard these words and shook his head inwardly,
Not following their instructions means being presumptuous, means not giving face...
His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
It wasn't that he doubted the logic of the thieves behind the bald wizard... Those were all too common.
What perplexed him was that the bald wizard knew he had just come to Bananka Island and could even determine he came from a small place.
...His information had somehow been leaked.
Could it be the middle-aged guide he hired yesterday...
Before he could reflect further, he noticed the bald wizard waving his arm.
An invisible gas converged and solidified into a translucent cone spear, tearing through the air as it screamed towards him.
It moved very fast, surrounded by a circle of white airflow.
At the same time,
A powerful gust of wind also came from behind toward Colin.
The wizard with a fierce ray fish tattoo on his chest slightly inflated, raising about a dozen centimeters off the ground.
His right fist swung towards Colin's back.
His right arm, which had a rough, sand-like texture, had now quietly expanded to the thickness of his waist, looking extremely disproportionate.
It made him look like a crab with a huge right pincer.
Colin's expression remained unchanged, as if he was petrified where he stood.
A hint of disdain flashed in the eyes of the bald wizard.
Wizards like him from small places often had incomplete knowledge of witchcraft, and their combat abilities could hardly be mentioned in the same breath as theirs.
But the next second, just before the translucent air cone spear was only a punch away from Colin, and the rough giant fist was also moments from landing on his body,
Colin suddenly moved!
'Not good!'
In the incredulous expressions of the bald wizard and the ray fish tattooed wizard,
Colin, relying on the great agility brought by a one-time Limit Breaking Swift Skill and the ultra-fast reflexes of the Ultimate Knight,
to the last moment, lightly fluttered a small step to the right like a feather, then slightly shifted his body to lean against the alley wall.
Swoosh!
Bang!!
The translucent air cone spear brushed past him, coincidentally hitting the giant rough right fist that also missed his clothes by a hair!
"Ah!"
The ray fish tattooed wizard cried out in pain as his huge sandy right fist was punctured by the air cone spear, leaving a fist-sized hole.
"Sorry."
The bald wizard said apologetically to the tattooed wizard with an ugly expression.
The tattooed wizard shook his head, his face showing a fierce expression.
Without a word, both of them continued to attack Colin.
Seeing this, Colin's brows slightly furrowed.
He didn't bother to dodge anymore, letting their futile attacks fall on his strong defensive shield, stirring up a meaningless ripple.
These hounds from Bananka Island, perhaps they had been too comfortable with smooth sailing days... to be so arrogant and overbearing.
They dared to attack without even being sure of the opponent's strength.
He quickly scanned his surroundings.
Although this place was located in the busiest Blue Shell district of Bananka Island,
it was a secluded and dark alley that had nothing to do with the bustling noise.
The thick black stone brick walls on both sides isolated the sound, and there was not a single person in sight... there should be no one coming anytime soon.
... It was indeed a perfect place.
Colin played with the Cone Bullet in his hand, watching the two wizards attacking him.
A killing intent gradually rose in his heart.
These two wizards were only Intermediate Wizard Apprentices in strength, although their mastery of witchcraft was commendable, and their power was first-class among Intermediate Wizard Apprentices, almost reaching an Advanced level.
But to the current him, unless there were special circumstances, resolving them was just a matter of two Cone Bullets.
It was just that the follow-up handling might be a troublesome matter.
He didn't want to deal with these two wizards and then have to face other wizards from their School coming one after another.
Just as Colin was hesitating,
the bald wizard and the ray fish tattooed wizard also finally realized something was amiss.
Both of them simultaneously stopped.
"...I didn't expect your excellency to be an Advanced Wizard Apprentice," said the bald wizard after a pause.
The ray fish tattooed wizard beside him also nodded in agreement.
Colin's expression slightly eased, he was a person who disliked trouble.
If the two wizards in front of him recognized his strength and chose to back off,
it was not unacceptable.
"We have offended you." The bald wizard said again, pulling his companion and turning to leave.
Colin felt a slight relief and turned to continue walking forward.
However, just as he hadn't taken more than a few steps, he heard a soft sound from behind.
"Idiot." Colin's gaze flashed, and he quickly stepped back and turned around.
Swoosh!
A pale bone spike had already flown towards his face, appearing to have reached the standard of an Advanced Wizard Apprentice in terms of power.
The speed was so fast that it was impossible to dodge, but Colin did not dodge.
Bang!
The bone spike struggled to penetrate the defensive field and did nothing more, causing no further damage.
A dark golden scepter slowly emerged in his right hand-Colin summoned the Foolishness Scepter.
Seeing their usually successful sneak attack bone spike return without success this time, the two wizards from the Haiya School immediately changed their expressions.
"Your Excellency, please show mercy!" The bald wizard quickly begged for mercy.
"The Haiya School is one of the twelve Schools of Bananka, Your Excellency should not..."
Splat.
The Cone Bullet easily tore through the defensive witchcraft, penetrating the body, and removing the color from the bald wizard's pupils.
The top defensive witchcraft of an Intermediate Apprentice did not serve any purpose.
His body fell heavily.
Seeing this, the ray fish tattooed wizard's face changed drastically, and without saying a word, he turned and ran towards the distance.
But his action was in vain.
Splat.
The same sound came, and the ray fish tattooed wizard fell in the same manner as the bald wizard.
Colin quickly looked around once more, and after confirming there was no one else, he collected the bodies of the two wizards from the Haiya School into his Storage Ring.
After slightly dealing with the traces, he composed his expression and continued walking towards the auction house.
