Chapter 51: Major Incident [ 3 ]



There was a Fallen human here. Simply put, it was a double-pronged attack. After coming to a scene, Heroes went to the most dangerous area. Since the Artifact Room had security guards, it was less dangerous comparatively, putting it on a lower priority. Taking advantage of this fact, the Fallen human attack here.

This all of doing fallen human, he had receivedoleanderr from his contractor a demon with whom he made a pact.

The monster outside is also in his control, and because of that Heros has a hard time killing it, thus not reaching herein time.

As panic and unease gripped the Artifact Room, Adrian, Isabella, and Lucas exchanged concerned glances. The chaos outside continued to escalate, with the thudding footsteps growing louder and closer.

Adrian stood at the forefront, a mixture of determination and worry etched on his face. "We need to stay here and wait for the Heroes to handle the situation. It won't be long now," he reassured the others, trying to maintain a sense of order.

But Isabella had some other ideas.

Clang—

A sharp sound resounded. It was the sound of glasses shattering. The source of the sound wasn't far away. Turning towards the direction of the sound, Adrian shouted.

"Isabella!"

Isabella had broken a display case and was taking out the magic staff inside.

"Are you crazy!?"

"No, I'm perfectly sane."

In just three seconds, all exits closed down. People panicked even more, but thankfully, even an A-rank monster couldn't break through the barriers blocking the exits.

"This is better than stopping people one by one and warning them."

With that, she cleared her throat and shouted at the panicking citizens.

"Everyone! Stay still! It's safer here! We're Heroes too!"

People began to turn their gazes at Isbella's direction, some of them began to relax at Hero's word but some others were still panicking.

Isabella's eyes settled on one of the people in the crowd.

"Look there."

She pointed with her eyes. A man wearing a black coat was standing there. Before Adrian could say anything, Isabella fired fire magic without a shred of hesitation.

"Hey, don't—"

Immediately, Adrian Froze. He seemed dazed by Isabella's sudden murder.

Any ordinary person would have died to her Fire spell. However, the man grabbed the Fire spell with his bare hand, Black magic power then rose from his hand, consuming the fire magic.

Tap, tap.

The man then turned around, facing the direction the spell came from. His eyes burned red, as fierce hostility shot out of him.

"..."

Without a doubt, he was a Fallen Human.

Adrian's face began to pale. He took out his sword from his bracelet.

A blue sword qi rose around his word as he channelled his mana through it. The purity of the blue mana brightened up the sword's blade.

"Lucas step back if you get in the way he will kill you without a doubt," he said to me as he's whole attention in front of his enemy.

"he is right Creppy Lucas this is not some artificial monster that you faced in training." Isabella who is now on Adrian's side also offers a piece of advice.

Let me remind you bitch, if I had not helped you your head would be the food of that wolf.

But I said nothing seeing the situation.

"You ready?"

"Yeah."

Meanwhile, I slowly backed off.

"Support me."

Fixing his grip on the sword, Adrian spoke.

"Support? Please, I'll be the one killing him."

Rebutting playfully, Isabella created another fire spell two times larger than the last one.

"Guooo—!"

But before she could fire, the enemy ignited his magic power. A jet-black evil qi hurled towards them like hellfire.

But Adrian with Mana qi sword cut the magic that was on the way.

Finally, Isabella launched her spell. It directly hit the target and consumed him in the mass of flames.

"Ahhhhhhhhha."

He screams as his flash is being torn apart

The onlookers who had panicked expressions earlier began to relax as they saw how two hero students fought against a fallen human.

But in the moment when everyone feels it's finally over, something else happens.

"Hahahahahahah"

He laughed.

The laughter continued for a while, then he turned toward Adrian and Isabella.

"It was fun, why not should we take this seriously?"

He said as he used his black magic again to nullify Isabella's spell. It consumes Isabella's magic and in a few seconds, there was nothing.

"H-how?" Isabella asked in shock, clearly not expecting this.

"How you asked? Well, it's a secret," he said playfully and raised one finger on his mask.

Immediately afterwards, fierce magic power shot out from his one hand and he took out his small axe from his much to another hand.

As though standing under torrential rain, Adrian was swept away by the magic power. He didn't even have the chance to scream. He flew across the Artefacts Room and became stuck inside the wall.

Adrian got up. But he didn't seem to be in a good state.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"I'm fine... Kuu."

In that small amount of time, the individual was in front of Isabella. Before she could do anything he grabbed her by the throat and lifted her in the air.

And Toss her across the room opposite side of Adrian.

-BOOM.

She lost conciseness, that impact was too much for her.

Because Mages have a weak body they can't hold physical damage very well.

"you bastard," Adrian said as he stood up.

"What? it's not my fault that she is weak." his tone was full of mockery.

"Do I have no other choice?"

Gritting his teeth, Adrian hesitated for a second before activating [Bloodlust]

Activating [Bloodlust], Addian felt every fibre of his body exploding with energy. His muscles bulged, and his veins became more apparent.

[ Bloodlust] is the skill that made Adrian kill no matter what. when activating this skill For two minutes all his states will be doubled but he will not understand who his enemy and friend are.

In short, a double-edged skill.

That's why he did not activate this skill in the crew fair, for fear of hurting Emma.

Adrian glared at the black-clad individual and propelled his body forward.

"haaaaa!"

"Nice, nice I also wanted some sparring partner for me." He said as he stopped using his magic and took the Axe.

Noticing the change in Adrian, the black-clad individual stopped spinning and confronted Adrian head-on

-Clank! -Clank! -Clank!

Sword and axe matched!

As they clashed, after a few seconds, Adrian and the Fallen human had already exchanged no fewer than three hundred strikes

Adrian's strikes were fluent and fast, whilst the Fallen humans were slow and heavy.

As they fought, neither budged an inch. They were currently in a complete stalemate.

Cuts and bruises appeared on both bodies as they continued to clash.

Blood spilt everywhere.

Strange.

Something was strange. This shouldn't have happened. After being pushed back for a bit, Adrian should have killed him with his [Bloodlust] skill.

But it's almost one minute and Adrian reaching his limit.

The Fallen human in my setting shouldn't have been that strong.

What the hell is going on?

Something, I had to do something. At this rate, both Adrian and Isabella could die.

"Damit this world sure hates me to the core," I said as I broke glass where Moonshadow Bow is.

Clang—

A sharp sound resounded.

If I could I like to join the fight but with my current sword skill I'll be in a way.

So if can't join the fight with a sword, I'll join with Bow.

My Knowledge of Bow had reached 80% so I'm sure I could not miss the target this close.

I took out a light magic spell scroll that I brought yesterday.

I just hope that this trick will work.

"Fuse". I said as the magic that was stored inside of the scroll transferred into the arrow.

Thank god that this worked.

Clicking my tongue, I took the posture of Archer with Moonshadow in my hand.

Adrian's bloodlust skill has run out of time and seems he is now struggling with Fallen humans.

"Hey!"

Then, I shouted.

"Move!"

Without even turning around to look, Adrian rolled to the side. The Fallen human right arm with an axe came chasing after him, but that only increased the surface area for me to hit.

With a slightly calmer mind, I let go of the string.

- Ting

A bright light flashed from the arrow.

I'm Just Bignar, and I know that I'm not on the level of Evelyn and Emma but even so, I just hope that this Arrow hits its target.

Thankfully, the trajectory of the Arrow didn't change. It flew along the intended trajectory, striking the Fallen human left shoulder.

Bull's eye.

A clump of light erupted from the Fllen human arm. The Arrow's secondary explosion had detonated. The light disappeared, purifying the His arm.

The Fallen Human had thus lost its arm.
