Power is Everything

"Want to hear the long story or the short one?"

"Just tell us, man."

Why does this guy always like to waste time?

"Leo, please tell us the detail."

Then Leo put his hands on the table as if he wanted to tell a horror story.

"Okay, so last night when I was relaxing, as usual, I saw two mysterious men in black robes. So I don't know if it's the same as three years ago."

"How did you know it was a men?"

"I didn't. I'm just guessing it."

For real? It's not the time for that Leo!

Before Nare interrupted Leo, he put his finger in front of Nare's face.

"But, I know they are dangerous. I can feel that they have bad intentions for this city."

Leo is right. Whenever he saw something strange, always something serious would happen. But this time, it might just be a scout because there are only two people.

"And, since we are leaving this city, I don't think we have to deal with them and leave the city."

"Eh?"

Everyone was surprised to hear what Leo said earlier, except for Shone.

"What do you mean by that, Leo?"

"Yeah, what do you mean Leo?"

Gina and Kire were confused because it was unusual for him not to want to fight.

"Like I said Gina, I don't want to have anything to do with them. It's just a waste of time, right Shone?"

Leo looked at Shone as if he already knew what he was feeling.

"That's not true right, Shone?"

"I agree with Icy. We've tackled a lot of problems before. But this time I don't want to help them anymore. They have to handle it themselves."

[Note : Shone called Leo 'Icy']

"Furthermore, what would happen if we left the city and there were more problems coming? We won't be there to help them, right?"

They are right. I agree with what Leo thought. I also don't want to get involved again with this city. But...

"But, I don't say that we should leave them alive."

"What?"

They were shocked again.

Leo smiled a little. There was also a creepy cold look on his face.

"We should destroy them."

"Here we go again."

"Huh... like always, right?"

Everyone felt relieved after that.

Kire also sighed.

I don't understand why Leo is always like that. But he's cool, so I don't mind.

"So what's your plan, Icy?"

"It's simple and you guys probably already know."

***

After the meeting, Nare and Kire went to the forest again to hunt as usual. On the other hand, Leo was hanging around somewhere. Shone and Gina both went to the middle of the city to find the two mysterious people.

"Kire, today I'll let you handle it. I will secure the escape route."

"Alright brother."

Kire then dashes forward into the crowd of wild boar. Then she burned the grass behind the crowd. And attacked them head-on by taking fire from her hands. She then used [Fire Cloud] to make the area around her very hot.

"I will not lose to you guys. I will be stronger!"

Kire then looked back and burned the wild boar again, but this time she widened her fire magic to hit multiple targets. Kire knew that if the attack was strong but only hit a few targets, it would be equally inefficient. Kire also takes into account her magic fuour which is quite a bit compared to her brother. Then Kire extinguished the fire she burned in the grass so as not to burn the forest too wide.

"There's more, huh? Today is a bit strange..."

I never thought that wild boars would be this many. Yesterday when we went hunting together, there were only three or four, but today is like over thirty.

After that Kire approached the corpse to get the skin, but Kire did not find the body.

Huh? I thought that I killed them all.

Confused, Kire then floats herself with her water magic to see the surroundings and search for the corpse of the wild boar she killed.

"This is so weird. I think I'll find my brother."

Kire then went to find his brother.

On the other hand...

"You're pretty tough aren't you?"

"Let's say that I'm tough, what would you do?"

Two people wearing black robes are in front of Nare then attack him again with magic he has never seen.

What kind of magic is this? I didn't know that this painful arrow magic existed. The magic felt neither hot nor cold. It also doesn't feel hard or soft. More precisely this magic is like a real sharp weapon. Damn it, it's so hurt.

"What happened little boy? Are you done?"

Nare feels a terrible look behind the mask. He felt that they were very strong without even fighting him seriously.

Ah... I need to do something or I will die.

"[Eradicator]"

Nare then brings out his sword.

I don't know if it's a good idea to fight unknown magic at close range. I might be an idiot doing this, really. But we don't know if we didn't try it, right?

Nare then adjusted his breath to focus on attacking.

"You are too slow!"

Without further ado, the two of them attacked Nare with that magic arrow again.

Nare easily dodged the arrow, then he continued running towards the two of them. The two of them continued to retreat while attacking without stopping.

Looks like this battle will be over if one of us gets tired. But the bad thing is that I will not lose.

Nare tightened his grip and thrust his sword at one of the men. He finally hit the head and set his robe on fire. Nare sees the face of the mysterious person.

"So that's your dirty face, oldman?"
