The Mysterious Black Magician

'T-That's right! He's the Mysterious Black Magician!'

Upon hearing what Yman said, the guard immediately remembered about the mysterious Black Magician whose poster of his face was scattered in different parts of the city.

The story about his heroic deeds was also known in the city. Several times he had saved the city from enemies who planned to sow havoc in the area.

'Wait, then…' because of his prestige, the guard thought that Black Magician might not be fooling about what he said earlier.

Yman ignored the dumbfounded guard beside him. Maybe he finally realized that he wasn't joking when he said earlier about his death. Yman turned his focus to the lying corpse in front of him.

After the black mana entered the body of the corpse, Yman imitated what he did earlier to the guard beside him. He once again created countless microorganisms inside the corpse's body and spread them throughout the body.

This time, he simultaneously used [Restoration Ability] on the outside and inside of the corpse body. Then, he immediately looked at its DatS as he did with the first guard.

And like the first guard, the status of most parts of his body has become 100% condition rate. Still, the status (Mal) could be seen in other parts of the body, especially the heart.

He also noticed that only 35% of the blood was left in the body. 'Very low,' Yman muttered. This one's situation was very critical compared to the first guard.

But Yman still tried to save it. This time, he let the Microorganisms Enhanced Firedolls be the ones to stimulate the heart to pump again.

In that process, Yman believed that it was more effective than he himself would stimulate. As he expected, after the whole process, the corpse's pulse returned. He could feel and hear the heartbeat, albeit so weak.

When the person's eyes moved, the eyes of the guard next to him seemed to come out of its eye socket. What he was witnessing at the moment could be considered a miracle. 'Black Magician is truly able to bring a dead person to life!?'

Although the life of the dead person had returned, there was another problem. The person's blood was too low for it to move. Even opening his eyes was still difficult for him.

But, Yman already thought of a way for it. There was only one way to restore its lost blood to the body. That was through drinking a healing potion. The healing potion is known to not only close wounds and heal small injuries, but it can also restore the body's lost blood depending on its tier.

Yet, again, there's another problem. It seemed the victim had no strength to swallow any medicine at the moment because of weakness.

When the guard saw the sudden rise of the Black Magician, the gawking guard next to him returned to his consciousness.

"U-Uhm, Black Magician, sir," he called out in a weak voice.

Yman ignored his call, but said, "Quick, call rescuers or medics if you want to save your companion. Even though I can return his life to him, I can't return the lost blood."

Upon hearing what he said, the guard immediately snapped. "O-Okay, sir!" He replied. But before he could run away to find help, just then, *Gorrf!*

"Gyah!"

Suddenly, the guard jumped in a panic because of the sudden loud growl from the giant-like monster.

"Uh, right. Take this," Yman ignored his shock. But he handed the guard something.

Although the guard's attention was on the giant-like monster, he still accepted without hesitation the thing the Black Magician handed him. He noticed that it was a healing elixir in a small bottle.

With beads of sweat on his face, "Uh, thank you very much, sir!" The guard bowed slightly, and at the same time, said his gratitude. However, his eyes were still wandering to the giant bird that was five meters away from the Black Magician's back.

After taking the healing elixir, he heard the Black Magician speak again.

"Drink that to replenish your blood." He heard Black Magician tell him while turning away. After saying this, the Black Magician approached the gigantic bird monster.

The guard was shocked when the gigantic bird just bowed down like an obedient puppy. It was only then that he noticed that it was a Hell Chaser Bird. But, it was way bigger compared to the ordinary Hell Chaser Bird.

Although these types of creatures were known to be non-hostile creatures, the guard can't help but cringe because of this one's size. And yet, it seemed like it was nothing to Black Magician.

'He really is a mysterious person!' Shouted the guard in his mind.

"Okay. Go away and seek help before your friend dies again." When he heard this, "Yes, sir! Uh, thank you for reviving us!" The guard ran away after thanking him again. He would be quicker to find help when he was alone than when he was carrying his companion.

After the guard left the area, tears burst out from his eyes. In truth, he was preventing it the whole time. He was very happy after knowing that the Black Magician revived him. 

He thought he would never see his wife again. Thank god! The Black Magician came and revived them!

"THANK YOU SIR BLACK MAGICIAN!" He shouted as he dashed away. 

Yman's mouth stretched to both sides.

After the guard left in a hurry, he focused his attention around. He did not feel any bad intentions nearby. If there was, it was coming from far away. Before leaving, Yman sent one last glance at the lying guard. He thought he seemed okay. Since most parts of his body were now at a 100% rate, he had a high chance of surviving.

Yman immediately jumped over the Hell Chaser Bird.

The Hell Chaser Bird immediately fluttered its wide wings. In an instant, it flew under the clouds. Yman saw the whole city from above.

He could see that the explosion earlier had not just come from one area. Based on the smoke that rose, he realized that the explosion was from four parts of the city.

The attack seems to have been well planned. Nonetheless, as a result, he learned that Rea was not the target of the attack. Because if Rea were their target, Yman strongly believes that this would not be their way of attacking.

However, it was still not good not only for them but for everyone. While looking at the situation below, Yman wondered about the possible cause of this attack.

While above, he could hear unceasing shots from below. They were coming from magic-based guns based on their sounds.

If Yman thinks about it, it seemed easy to say what their purpose really was. The enemy blew up the routes linking the main district and other parts of the city. They blew up the main roads so that the military could not immediately send back-ups. It was easy to say that their main target was in the main district, where he and the others were.

In fact, he even saw the people who attacked the guards at the gate go inside the skyscraper where the VIPs were. So probably, their main target was the VIPs. Or, they could also be just part of their real plan. Yman speculated.

'Those people couldn't be simple criminals right?' He thought. 'They must be members of an organized army.' 

Yman believed the attackers were members of a criminal group led by someone with great influence. His reason was because of their weapons. No ordinary criminal groups could get a hold of those high-end weapons. In fact, the source of those weapons was not from this world. So, with this information, he believed that someone instigated this attack. 

Nonetheless, he had a more important thing he needed to do. He needed to fulfill his mission. He had to protect the princess.

Yman summoned a holographic screen. In that holographic screen, several panels could be seen. They were the visions shared by his Scout Enhanced Firedolls that were monitoring Rea and his sister.

Yman's eyes narrowed when he saw what was currently happening at the venue of the contest. He saw when a member of the criminal group shot a man. The man immediately fell on the floor and the blood flowed from his wound.

Since the whereabouts of the murdered man were not far from Rea's and the other's whereabouts, he immediately noticed the widening of his sister's and Rea's eyes.

The next moment, he heard the shouting of the people around. Fear and apprehension immediately registered on everyone's faces. Yman quickly flew the Hell Chaser Bird towards the venue.

Meanwhile, in the plaza, the criminals were very busy collecting the System Deity of the Magicians around. They handed their deities unwillingly.

Although some of them wanted to fight, most were discouraged. Especially since they weren't sure they could rescue all the hostages around.

"Hehe boss, it looks like we're all in this together," said one of the criminals to their leader.

"Yeah," the leader said as he glanced around. When his eyes landed on Rea and Yana, he noticed the rings on Rea's hands and the necklace on Yana's neck. They seemed to be no ordinary jewelry. "Hey! You two! Come over here!" Called out the leader.

Yana and Rea looked at each other and remained on their feet.

"The f*ck are you waiting for?!" The leader became angry when the two of them didn't follow his command.

Chloe, who was checking on Bob's condition, looked at Yana and Rea.. 'This is bad,' she thought.
