Small villain's Viewpoint

Chapter 27

There was a huge discussion after the meeting. The raiders knew that the four separate parties will be decided by them, it is a task that requires flexibility after all. The problem is finding someone capable of using light magic. Not everyone is capable of learning a tier 3 magic.

In the end, Hurial had to step in and chose the people for the separate party. Him and Siam will take down the first statue. An old veteran and a young mage was chosen for the eastern statue while the western statue had Ruiz and a reluctant male rogue. Ruiz was not part of the discussion at all, he just took in the role without Hurial's consent, earning the raiders contempt. The last statue will dealt with by a pair of assassins, the female was quite adept in magic so the role was given to her.

Julian will naturally led his own army, he was the best when it comes to providing protection. Meanwhile,the clerics have grim faces, their mana were sucked dry after blessing everyone's weapons. "I'm drying up...this is too much.....",Jade fell on the floor, withering like a dried up squid after enchanting the raiders' weapons. "Don't get too work up. You still need to help me later",Julius said, while patting his friend's head."Why me?

"Well you said I can't use magic right? I need someone who could cast holy barrier so I could focus", Julius smiled, ignoring Jade's sobbing face. "Why not the young man, that half elf?. If Julius needs protection, shouldn't he get someone good at doing so? Not to mention the young elf seems to be quite agile, he will definitely be good at adapting in any situations. Not to mention he really feel like dying right now......

"Do you see this?", Julius pointed at the swelling on his forehead. "This is the result of me relying on such a good child", he smiled wryly......the kid is obedient, but man, his head is still ringing from getting hit and shaken. If it wasn't for his image, he would have shaken those morons as well.It is better to ask an experienced exorcist to protect him instead.

"So are we rushing towards the temple?", Ruiz yelled, whist grabbing his poor partner towards the entrance, a very high pitched scream can heard. Bless his poor soul, Julius thought. "Remember the formation!! Supports go hide in the rear!!", Julian took the frontline, bravely rushing forward. Things may go sideway later, but all he could do is hope. May the goddess bless them.

As such, the group started their raid. As expected, a swarm of monsters mobbed them. The lamias, a creature created by mixing the blood of demonic snakes and witches, an extremely dangerous creature capable secreting deadly poisons. A single scratch is fatal. "Hey, hey.... aren't this things bigger than usual!!?", The raiders complained, getting hit back and forth while enduring the swarm made it as hard as it can get.

"Well, this is Silica tower.....the monsters will be bigger than usual I guess?", The sorcerer's responded, casting a large fireball to burn the hoard. Scaly hands grabs tries to grab them in an attempt to scatter the raiders, luckily, the clerics casted barriers to avoid the deadly attacks. "Hey careful with the fire!! We're getting burned here as well!!",the knights in frontline are also losing their cool.

"Hellhounds incoming!!", Julian shouted in alarm, the monsters hoards is increasing, this temple is like a huge spawning point. Dog like monsters jumped in crazy speed, assaulting the tanks in an agile manner. "Purify!!!!",the clerics chanted in unison, a divine light engulf the group in an instant. Those who are showing signs of transforming sighed in relief. They weren't really scared of death, but turning into a mindless ghoul is not a good way to go.

"Hoh, the party has started, why don't we finish this and join them asap?", From afar, Ruiz wink at his partner, before scaling the huge statue. The ten feet tall statue of an ancient bird looks quite menacing, especially if has glowing eyes that moves in such a life like manner. In its claws lies their target, a glowing cube covered in runes.

"Let's deal with this chicken", Ruiz quickly jump towards the cube, its better to ends things quicker before the monsters number increases. "Wait you damn psycho!!! We are supposed to do this by order!!!!" The rogue stop him in panic. This damn lunatic will ruin the plan. Tsk. The knight clicked his tongue. Following plans is not his forte, much less waiting patiently.

"When will the midget and scarred raider finish their job?"

"Its because you rushed here first!!!!!",the rogue screamed in frustration. "On your back", Ruiz pointed. "Arrows", he said before kicking the rogue.

Thunk....

......"Arrows...those are skeleton archers!!!",the rogue yelled in surprised. Below them were five skeleton archers, eyes glowing red.

"Leave it to me!!!Finally some action!",Ruiz was rather gleeful for someone facing a high rank monsters."Don't jump down", his words are being ignored, the rogue furrowed his brows in irritation. This guy never listens, doesn't he?
