I managed to get away from the maze of a building which is the middle-aged club's hideout.
Outside the castle-like infrastructure was a huge forest. I know that running into the unknown forest is a huge gamble, but after seeing the army of knights currently raiding the place and killing everyone who went on their way, this is the best place to run.
The entire forest was shrouded in darkness due to the absence of the moon, the only light source I had was a small fire in my hand as I ran through the thick forest.
I have so many questions in mind, but for now, I need to escape from this place.
However,
Out of nowhere, a dagger sliced its way toward , if I was not fast enough to jump out, the attack would probably slit my neck.
[Skill [Mana Concealnt] was acquired.]
[Skill [Mana Perception] was acquired.]
I imdiately activated my Fire magic to drive the attacker away, but to my surprise, it's not alone, the other 2 attacked from behind leaving almost no ti to react.
By letting my arm take the damage and dodging the attack aiming for my head I managed to get out with only an injured shoulder.
To prevent them from attacking again, I activated my Fire magic to make them fall back away from .
Too much for a first-ti fight to death battle, huh?
I repeatedly jumped back and gazed upon them. On my last jump, my headband with a demon horn fell to the ground due to it already being cut in half.
All 3 of them who were standing a few ters away from instantly stared at my cut horns with great shock in their eyes, which was the only visible part of their faces due to the black mask they're wearing.
I hate to break it to you, guys, but it's fake.
I stood up straight. "3 vs 1? Isn't that too unfair? As you can see, I'm just a youngster who happens to be in this place. How about you let go and I will forget about this?"
"You can't fool us, we can clearly see your mana manifestation even from a distance."
[Mana Concealnt.]
[The ability to hide your mana manifestation.]
[Mana Perception.]
[The ability to perceive mana manifestation.]
I see that's why.
Wait a minute, the people who summoned don't have these skills?
What kind of nincompoops summoned here?
I activated my newly acquired Mana perception and what greeted was my black aura brimming over as if I was in the middle of a small tornado.
I have been running around with this thing in since earlier? No wonder they easily found .
I activated my Mana concealnt and reduced my mana manifestation to the sa as them.
"How about this, it no longer looks threatening, right?"
They assud a battle stance.
What a pain.
I touched my currently bleeding and swaying arms and activated my healing magic.
I faced them and shrugged, they just shook their heads and proceeded to move.
3 of them jumped towards the shades of the trees around . They're moving fast without making any sound, however, I could see them using the Mana perception, at least the mana around them.
As if I'm using a freaking wallhack!
And with synchronization, the 3 of them jumped towards , I jumped back, activated my Fire magic, and blasted multiple fireballs towards them.
But, as expected, they're fast and could easily dodge my attack. They rushed towards , all I could do was to drive them away by unleashing a fire attack around .
However, even with it, one of them managed to get near and almost sliced off my face, before I could even fight back he's already gone and ran back to the shelter of the trees.
I brushed the blood coming out from my cheek as I watched them running around , like freaking ninjas!
I didn't expect to get into a life or death situation the mont I arrived, however, losing my life here is the very last thing I want to happen.
They were encircling again, waiting for the best chance to attack.
With synchronization, all 3 of them jumped from the trees towards just like what they did before.
As expected.
I activated my Fire magic to drive the other 2 away and as I predicted, the other one took the chance and jumped on .
He's far faster for to dodge his attack and at the sa ti fight back, this ti, I chose to deliver my attack than to dodge it.
I blocked his dagger using my steel vambrace and held a grip on his hand while aiming my other hand to his neck. He's fast, but I don't think he can dodge my hand mid-air.
I grabbed his neck and imdiately burned his head to crisp.
And if my calculation is right, this is the best ti for the 2 to finish off.
At least, that's what they will think.
I turned to face the 2, I aid my hand on the one currently mid-air aiming his dagger on my head, and instantly burned him down at the sa ti burning the foot of his astounded remaining ally with my other hand.
The other one scread in pain while rolling on the ground as the fire devoured him alive.
"Don't expect the sa tactic to work on the sa target twice, much more thrice."
The remaining one tried to crawl away from using his arms.
I walked towards him.
"Curse yo-" before he could complete his sentence, he scread in agony while being burned alive due to the Fire magic I just cast.
Don't scream like that, you're making feel like I'm the bad guy here. It's just self-defense and safety precautions.
This is the very first ti I intentionally tried to kill people. I can't believe I'm capable of doing such things, even though I'm doing it as self-defense.
My hand was shivering, so this is what deliberately killing soone feels like.
The terrifying part is, why can't I feel anything?
I'm glad it's finally done, however, I need to escape before more of them arrive.
