Chapter 63 Old Acquaintance

At the center plaza of Venundarr. Residential and commercial structures alike are currently abandoned.

Alger dedicates 1/4 of his guild mates, mostly the trainees to do some crowd control as to not suffer unnecessary casualties.

The structures from the center plaza have noticeably burn marks or spell residue. Arrows litter the streets, a sign of a small skirmish.

"We can't reason to this human trash!" shouted by the armless blonde elf while preparing to cast a magic.

"Clyde, I'm human too you know." says by an intimidating old man with three scar lines on his face.

"You know what I mean, Alger." retort by Clyde.

"I know, I know, I'm just messing with you." says by Alger.

Clyde looks like he exhausted his mana once again. He didn't fully recover yet after his fight with Camilla.

"Are you two done talking?" says by an old man from across the street.

He's wearing a pointy hat and dark blue robes. His gray beard reaches up to his abdomen.

"Don't get too cocky old man! If not for Camilla I can easily kill you right now!" shouted by Clyde.

"Is that so?" says by the gray bearded old man.

"What does Camilla even have on you Kastor? Why follow her to this extent?" asked by Alger.

"No need to bother with them older brother, let's just end this." says by an old man that looks identical to Kastor except he's wearing a forest geeen robe instead.

"I know Pollux." says by Kastor.

"Torrential Downpour!" chanted by Kastor.

"Living Roots!" chanted by Pollix.

The bright sky suddenly turn dark and rain starts pouring. At the same time an earthquake cause by huge roots emerging from the ground cracks the cobblestone road of the plaza.

"I hope you appreciate what I'm doing for you red headed bastard." mutter by Alger while seeing the destruction of his beloved city.

"Abyssal Wall!" shouted by Clyde, multiple huge black tentacles emerge from the ground making a wall covering him and Alger.

"Drowning Deluge!" chanted by Kastor.

A huge wave of water came bursting out from his sapphire engrave staff.

The moment the water hit the living roots it increase its size.

A perfect combination of water and earth magic which Kastor and Pollux master throughout the years are on full display.

Clyde's tentacle walls didn't stand a chance, just after a few second it crumbles against Kastor and Pollux.

"Mind helping a bit, Alger?" says by Clyde, whose now on top of a roof of an establishment.

"Royal Spirit!" shouted by Alger. A huge spirit of a Knight clad in golden armor and holding two great sword in each of its hand appear behind him.

"Assist me in closing the distance. Once we deal with Magus Guild Leader it'll be easier to subdue the rest of their members." says by Alger.

"Ice Shard!" chanted by Clyde, ice particles came from the magic circle he drew in the air.

The ice particles made part of the flood into solid ice.

"Summon: Lesser Demon!" chanted by Clyde, a huge magic circle appear in front of him and a few seconds later a humanoid creature emerge from it.

The humanoid creature has two horns, a tail and a red skin.

"Go!" commanded by Clyde.

The lesser demon use the ice that Clyde made as a bridge.

"Summon: Treant!" chanted by Pollux, instead of a magic circle, roots emerge from the ground and a few seconds later the roots turn into a treant.

The treant looks like a huge moving tree with its branch acts like its arms while its roots acts like its legs.

"That ice bridge you made looks unstable, I don't want to drown." says by Alger.

"Don't worry, that's just a distraction." says by Clyde.

"Abyssal Gate!" chanted by Clyde. Two tentacles emerge from the ground making an arch.

The twin wizard didn't notice that the same arch appeared behind them.

"You want me to enter that weird looking thing?" says by Alger, clearly disgusted by Clyde's abyssal magic.

"Be quick Alger! This consume a lot of mana by just keeping it up for a few seconds!" shouted by Clyde in frustration.

"Fine, fine." says by Alger while reluctantly entering the tentacle gate.

Once he pass the tentacle gate his scenery instantly change. If not for his strong mental fortitude he would've vomited by now due to the disorienting nature of the process.

Alger appear at the tentacle gate behind the twin wizard.

"Lineage Strike!"

A golden aura engulfs Alger's sword and spear. He then made a vertical strike. The huge golden knight spirit behind him made a similar movement.

Kastor was caught off guard and receive the full blow of the strike.

"Kastor! How?" shouted by Pollux. "You will pay for this Alger!" he added while shifting his gaze at Alger.

"Living Roots!" chanted by Pollux, the roots are noticeably smaller since Kastor didn't boost it with his spell.

Using Royal Spirit and Lineage Strike, Alger made a quick work of Pollux' living roots.

"Throw: Javelin!"

Alger winds back his arm and throw a spear at Pollux.

"Nature's Embra..."

Since Wizards don't have naturally high agility, Pollux was not able to react on time.

The spear pierces his heart, ending the gray bearded old man's life.

Kastor who somehow survived Alger's lineage strike saw what happened to his twin brother Pollux.

Kastor crawls to his brother, trying his best to drag his dead lower half body.

"Pollux! No, this can't be happening." cried by Kastor.

Since their childhood Kastor and Pollux were inseparable. They do everything together, win together, fail together and even when they founded Magus Guild they decided to be the Guild Leader together.

They even decided to study magic that complements each other. Thus they used water and earth magics.

Seeing the lifeless body of his little brother. For the first time of his life, Kastor cries alone.

"You chose the wrong side of the coin, Kastor. As a sign of respect to an old acquaintance, I'll make your death quick and painless." says by Alger.
