My Magical System

Gajes the ox killer!

People around said those words over and over again. This indicates that he is well-known in town.

The huge ox immediately rushed at him. Gajes did not lag behind and rushed forward as well.

The fight between them immediately began.

After approaching, Gajes immediately hit the gigantic ox with his wooden club. The people around could feel the power of his attack.

The giant ox was hit in the side which caused it to tilt. However, the giant ox did not budge. Even when it was hit, it did not fall.

UMUUU!!!

It screamed so loudly that the ordinary soldiers around could do nothing but cover their ears.

Gajes wasn't bother by it. Instead, he attacked once again and hit it very hard. The head of the ox shook, almost knocking it over.

However, the fool didn't seem hurt. Even though he hit it squarely, it still remained standing.

As he expected, this fight would not be easy for him. In the first place, it was the first time he faced a monster ox this big in his entire life.

The ox monster suddenly attacked him, however, he met it with a wooden club. Its head tilted on the other side.

Yet, the ox monster still remained on its feet. Its toughness is impressive.

The people around seemed to be speechless as they watched the ongoing clash between the two giants.

They seemed to forget that they were in the middle of a battle.

Their consciousness returned when they heard the guard captain's loud shout.

"What are you staring at there?! Are you just going to stand by while your comrades are being killed?!"

They immediately turned around and noticed that many monsters had entered.

Arrgh!!!

A soldier screamed when the monster bit his arm. His blood splattered around.

The surroundings were occupied by various types of noise from humans to monsters.

At the top of the wall, the town's soldiers were fighting the flying monsters.

The monsters they fought were corrupted bats and birds. Their sizes were a hundred times bigger than what they were originally and a great change could be seen in their forms.

Armed with their bows and spears, the soldiers did not budge. They fought relentlessly.

Because of the monsters' advantage in number, the side of the defending humans was gradually losing. A soldier was captured by a monster. He was dragged high in the air. He tried to free himself and even shouted for help, but to no avail. When he fell to the ground, his body was torn to pieces. What happened to him was horrible.

But, that was just one of the horrors that befell the soldiers in this battle.

Regardless, it wasn't only the human side that had casualties.

A flaming arrow found a victim. One of the bats was hit and immediately consumed by fire. It did not die directly. It was still flying, trying to escape from the fire. However, after the fire touched its body, it was like a leech that did not want to be separated from it until all that was left of it was ashes.

The fight continued and each side had casualties.

Both human blood and monster blood spilled across the ground, on the stairs from the top of the wall, and on the walls.

At that moment,

ARGH!

THUD!

A loud cry followed by a loud crash was heard by everyone. The people looked around, especially those nearby. Their eyes widened when they saw Gajes the ox killer lying on the ground. His body was bloody.

Those bruises and wounds on his body showed the intense battle he went through against the monster ox.

On the contrary, the ox monster was standing by his side as if there was no sign that it was hurt.

The soldiers suddenly became solemn when they saw Gajes lying on the ground. Next to him was his broken weapon. In their minds, they wondered how they would defeat this monster if even the so-called ox killer had been knocked down by it.

At that moment, the ox monster suddenly let out a loud roar.

MUUU~~!

Dark energy bursts out from its body. It seemed to indicate to everyone that he was the strongest and that no one could defeat him. The people around trembled.

They gradually lost hope and their faces showed fear and weakness.

Seeing the humans losing fighting spirit in their eyes, the ox monster raised its leg. Everyone who saw it widened their eyes in fear. It was clear to them what the monster was going to do.

It wanted to stomp Gajes!

It seems their guess was right, the monster wanted to crush Gajes' head. The monster's muscular legs will stomp on Gajes' head!

At that moment when the monster was about to stomp on Gajes' head, everyone was surprised when the gigantic monster suddenly knocked away.

Everyone's eyes widened at what happened.

In their minds, they were asking why and how the gigantic monster was suddenly thrown like that— that even the mighty Gajes had a hard time bringing it down.

They immediately noticed an individual next to Gajes. The moment his familiar figure registered in their eyes, the joy that everyone felt at that moment almost couldn't help but burst out.

Even though they didn't practice for it, they shouted at the same time… ROSSBERT!!!

With the strength of their screams, it even beat the noise of thunder in the sky. Upon uttering that name, the others also immediately turned around, and when they caught a glimpse of the familiar image of the person who was deemed as the strongest in Rothsport Town, tears seemed to flow from their eyes.

Finally, the person everyone has been waiting for has arrived.

"Sorry, everyone! I'm late! But don't worry, I'll make it up to you!" Rossbert said loudly to everyone.

"R-Rossbert…"

In a weak and strained voice, Rossbert heard Gajes calling.

"Gajes, how are you feeling?"

"B-Before that, b-be careful... that one is very strong..."

"Don't worry. I will take care of it. You reserve your strength. Help will come later. You are not allowed to die. The high-quality drinks that I brought with me will be wasted."

"S-sounds good..."

Everyone heard a roar from the ground. Ahead they saw the ox monster rushing towards Rossbert. And it looks very angry.

"Mister Rossbert, be careful!" They warned.

After witnessing how it defeated Gajes, they became very aware of its strength.

Rossbert remained calm. And when he opened his eyes, everyone felt a pulse in the air around Rossbert.

In the next moment, Rossbert's entire body was enveloped in a bright golden aura.

"R-Rossbert… you…" Gajes seemed to sense this and was surprised.

"Hehe," Rossbert smiled. "Yeah, I made a breakthrough and now I'm at the Upper Gold stage."

Gajes is seemingly shocked. If not because of his condition, he would have been exclaiming by now.

"I-I see…"

When the ox monster approached, it immediately tasted the strength of an Upper Gold-stage Guardian.

Armed with his big sword, the ox monster didn't even notice how his arm was cut off by Rossbert.

Rossbert's former weapon was a mace, but he changed it to a two-handed sword because of the ability of the two-handed sword to repel an enemy's attack using its flat side.

Muuurggh~~

Black blood burst out from the ox monster's cut. It cried in agony for the first time.

The soldiers seem to have received a power boost with Rossbert's arrival. Especially when he cut off the arm of the dreaded ox monster, their fighting spirit immediately returned.

The ox monster attacked again. However, the difference in their strength is remarkable. Rossbert was unmoved by the monster's attacks. And every attack of Rossbert dealt damage to the ox monster.

Rossbert thought that his decision to stay in Sunville Village for a while was correct. While he was there, he noticed that his body was getting stronger. Thanks to that, he broke through to the Upper gold stage.

These past days, even though Rossbert was in Sunville Village, he knew what was going on here in Rothsport Town. Every day he receives news from Eman. He didn't know how Eman did it but without fail every day he received a letter from him, describing the town's situation.

Even though the fighting spirit of the guards and soldiers has returned, it cannot be denied that there are too many monsters. They keep coming seemingly endlessly.

Rossbert didn't come alone, he was with some members of the Guardian Guild. But their number was still few compared to the enemies.

The overall battle advantage was still in favor of the monster. However, that didn't last long because Zoey, Zennie, and Candice, along with mercenaries and soldiers of the Rothsport Family, also arrived.

Zennie and the maids of the Rothsport Family immediately assisted the wounded. They distributed potions and even used healing magic to heal the injured soldiers.

On the other hand, Zoey and Candice, the muscular woman, along with magicians and mercenaries, joined the battle.

Now their only problem was the flying monsters.

Flying monsters?

No, no need to worry about them. The remaining soldiers on top of the wall were reduced to mere spectators.

Looking above with bewildered faces, they saw the flying monsters being haunted one by one by a stunning beauty.
