We navigated through the forest until the sun was down as I and Jin-Woo was going to set up camp I heard Ashborn's voice in my head
"Movement in front of you around ten meters I sense twenty-four people with mana, three Carriages, and six mana beasts pulling the Carriages, I also sense around forty other living beings but it seems that they are either unawakened or their mana was sealed," Ashborn said
"sixteen augmenters and eight conjurers" Sylvia added
"Slave traders" My voice went grim
"I'll deal with them twenty of them Arthur you deal with the rest," Jin-Woo said as he stood up and walked towards the direction the people were
As we walked and jumped silently from tree to tree we made sure no one inside the Carriage could see our fight Jin-Woo summoned his summons which instantly killed twenty people while the remaining four ran towards me, as I augmented my body and sword that Jin-Woo gave me I lunged towards them chopping off one of the slave traders head while I chopped one of the hand the other slave trader. Spell suddenly bombarded me as I realized that there were two conjurers among them, as I cursed in my breath I lunged towards the conjurer first but was disturbed by the augmenter that lost his hand, his sword hitting a mine, redirecting the path of the sword to a tree. I immediately pulled my sword out and vanished in the bushes. As I sneaked behind one of the conjurers I got him by surprise while the other conjurer didn't hesitate to blast his friend knocking me to a bunch of bushes. As I continued moving my way around the bushes making sure I won't get spotted I lunged towards the augmenter with my sword aimed at his neck, the sword connected, but my right hand was blasted off by a wave of fire. As I struggled to keep myself standing I took the sword with my left hand and took a stance, we were distanced by a few feet but unlike the conjurer, I didn't have the luxury to cast range attacks since I haven't awoken any elements. As I cursed under my breath I started to control my breathing, and finally, when the conjurer fired a spell at me I dodged and lunged towards him, which he then fired another spell towards me three seconds after
"Three-second gap per spell I can make it" As I felt my body screaming at me to stop
I lunged towards him even faster as I fully augmented my legs, leaving the rest of my body unguarded as my sword was an inch away from his neck he used his staff, and hit my sword redirecting my blade, I jumped back and took cover behind a tree.
"Huf Huf Huf" My breathing was starting to hurt my chest I knew I needed to end this quickly As I tried to peek from the tree a fireball nearly hit my head
"He knows where I am," I thought as I moved to another tree branch, I ducked at his third fireball and focused all my strength in my last attack as the conjurer tried to deflect my sword again I lowered my sword down and raised it back up the at the last second resulting my sword piercing through his chin and up through his head.
"You look like a bloody mess," Ashborn said chuckling
"Agreed," Sylvia said but her voice filled with pity
As I try and stand up using the conjurer's staff as the support I walked towards where the Carriages were. And there I saw Jin-Woo sitting in front of a campfire, as he saw me he waved his hand to come to sit next to him. As I began to sit down the same ant I saw before appeared beside me. Healing me but as soon as he finished healing me.
"My lord I sense mana beast near us allow me to clear them for you," The ant said startling me
"No" Jin-Woo's voice came out cold
"Forgive me my lord if I offended you" the ant knelt in front of Jin-Woo
"It seems like your hate towards elves still lingers within you" I heard Ashborn say
