Chapter 560 We Have A City To Burn
Amber woke up, “How long has it been?” She looked up, seeing Merlin asleep with Arad resting his head on her thigh.
She stood and stretched. Looking into her palm, she ignited a small flame. “Consumed 33 mana. I say it’s about five hours and a half.^ She reached to Arad with her hand, “Wake up,”
Arad opened one of his eyes, waking almost immediately. “You’re awake?” He asked.
“No, I’m talking while sleeping,” Amber replied, “It’s been a while. We should get moving.”
Arad looked up and saw Merlin waking up. He stood and stretched his arms, “How are we going to tackle this?” He looked at the door.
Merlin looked at them, rubbing her eyes. “How long has it been?”
“Five hours and a half since I fell asleep. I was counting with lost mana,” She replied.
“You can use that? You didn’t tell me,”
“What’s that?” Arad looked at them.
“Nothing impressive, just a small spell that does nothing but consume mana. You then calculate how much you lost while sleeping, of course adjusting based on how high is your mana regeneration to count time.” Amber explained.
Merlin approached the door and opened it slightly, peeking through the crack. “The gate is still there. They didn’t march an army or anything,”
“They are confident in their wall’s durability,” Arad said, “They would shower us with arrows and bolts the moment we get out,”
“That won’t work, would it?” Amber stared at him, “With your magic barrier, I mean.”
“I used to deflect Aella’s tempest arrows. Even if I’m weaker now, I should be able to hold their mundane arrows down.” He approached the door.
“We can fly with fire magic,” Amber suggested.
“That would make us prime targets,” Merlin looked at them, “I doubt they would send mages knowing I’m here, but that is still a possibility,”
“We have no other choice than to walk out,” Arad replied, “I will block the arrows, and we fly over the wall if we can’t open the gate,”
Amber wore her robe, and they were ready to get out. Arad opened the door and walked out at the front with the two trailing behind him.
“STOP RIGHT THERE!” A guard shouted from above the wall. Arad looked up, “Open the gate,”
The guard stared in silence, but soon a second guard approached and whispered something to him.
“Fine!” He shouted, and the gate slowly opened up.
“That was easy,” Arad mumbled as he walked with Merlin and Amber behind him. The moment they got inside, they found tens of fully armored guards awaiting them with spears and halberds pointed forward.
“You three are hereby arrested,” One of the guards said, approaching Arad and pointing his spear at his neck, “Surrender at once,”
Arad lifted his hand and grabbed the spear. CRACK! He broke the tip off with ease.
“By which law?” Arad grabbed the broken tip, breaking another chunk, “Do you know in whose land this place is?” CRACK! CRACK! “I make the law here,”
The guard stared at his spear, now being a ten-centimeter stick.
“You don’t,” The guard growled.
“Hoo,” Arad smiled, “You challenge my rule? I don’t mind competition,” He giggled, “If I don’t make the law here, then who do you think does? Where is that one? I need to kill him, don’t I?”
“You…You won’t get close to the city lord,” The guard gasped.
Arad giggled, “AHH! Try and stop me,” He took a step forward.
“Don’t move,” The guard screamed.
SLAP! The guard’s body spun in place, falling head first on the ground with blood dripping out of his ears. “Get out of the way, fake,”
The guard’s body disintegrated, leaving a gem on the ground. Those might look like people, but they are monsters.
“STOP HIM!” The guards surrounded them with spears, “Don’t let them run free,”
Arad looked back, “Amber, can you take them on?”
“Humph,” She grunted, “I can take tens if not hundreds of those. Don’t underestimate B-rank adventurers,”
“They are monsters, but they are limited to what humans can do,” Merlin looked around with a smile, “In all intent and purposes of combat, those are regular guards.”
Amber pointed her staff at the guards, blasting five of them with a fireball, “Their armor won’t protect them from flames. My fire gets through the cracks and burns them,” She smiled.
“Then I’m going to kill their leader,” Arad said, “Do you have a way to deal with arrows?”
“I can cast firewall. That should be enough if I don’t slack,” Amber replied, “Go. The faster you kill their leader, the less time we will spend here.” She sighed.
Arad bolted away, pushing the guards away as headed in search of the city lord.
Amber looked at the guards, “There are some faces I recognize here for the damned hells,” She waved her staff, “You shall pay for using their faces and voices,”
“Kill them!” A guard screamed, and Amber swung her staff, blasting him across the streets.
The people closed their home windows as the fight started, “Amber,” Merlin growled, “If they are mere soldiers, I should be able to deal with one or two,”
“Got it,” Amber took a deep breath, [Firewall]
The street was one long straight path. The moment she cast the spell, everything went into a blaze with fire rising taller than the buildings.
The soldiers jumped aside, shattering doors and windows as they escaped the flame, yet seven of them got caught, screaming as they burned.
CLACK! A soldier poked through a window, aiming his crossbow.
BAM! Amber immediately pointed at him with her staff, blasting his head off with a [Firebolt] .
“You know?” Amber said, “We mages love fireballs,” She smiled, waving her hand with sparks burning from her fingers. “They explode, and they burn shit down,”
[Bonefire] CLICK! She flicked her fingers, and one of the houses started smoking as its wooden frame caught ablaze.
“Most of the houses in a city are built with a wooden frame at least,” Amber waved her staff, “Do you know how many wizards dreamed of burning a city to the ground?”
CRACK! A soldier jumped through the window, swinging his sword at her head.
[Fire kick]
Amber spun around, kicking the soldier in the face with a scream, “This city gets cold in the winter. If they just let me burn it down it won’t be so cold!”
