Lea, The Story of the Magus of the Casiopea Continent
Black Coat Thieves

The wind blew softly, mingling thinly with the dust that touched my cheek, feeling rough when I tried to wipe it.

When it was noon in the Atulla Desert, I stood together with three hired soldiers named Arash, Hadi and Sataar watching the dust puff in the distance.

"Lea...

They are a group of thieves. I know very well, they are a well-known bandit group in the Atulla Desert, using the Black Coat Group !" said Arash in fear.

The three mercenaries rushed to hide behind the cliffs lined up along the desert as.

I brushed off Arash's hand when he tried to drag me down, hiding behind a cliff, looking for a cave hideout. I instead ordered him to hide to save himself with Hadi and Sataar.

My voice sounded in a cold snort and said to Arash..

"Leave it.

I wanted to see what the rogues looked like when they came face to face with a witch !"

Arash just nodded his head, aware of my ability, then ran after two of his friends Hadi and Sataar.

Now I was left alone, standing in the desert with a breeze of hot wind mixed with dust, waiting for the arrival of the Black Coat's band of Thieves.

The sound of the horse's neighing noise mixed with real dust was heard, as the twenty robbers stopped about 10 feet away from me.

I frowned, paying close attention to those twenty bandits, coupled with one other person, who seemed to be their leader.

They were all wearing dark coats, long to the feet. They also wore headgear, complete with a thin cloth disguising their faces, revealing only two pairs of eyes.

Although their faces and facial expressions are not clearly visible, anyone will guess easily. Twenty robbers plus one leader is a hard, evil and vicious human figure.

It was all clearly drawn in the eyes that lit up in a reddish color, similar to the eyes of a person who had not slept for days.

After all I saw an aura of hatred so deep in the eyes of those people.

"It is with an unattractive appearance that even raises fear that all hold each one a sword that glitters when the sun hits" my mind sneered.

Those twenty-one people, deliberately reflected the sunlight from his sword towards me. But I did not close my eyes, instead turning to open my eyes wide, challenging the act of intimidation.

The sword they were holding was a one-eyed sword, its length almost reaching two fathoms, with its curved edges a aura of death.

Although their overall appearance was the same, there was someone who carried a different aura and sword, not as uniform as the other rogues.

"It looks like he is the leader of this group of Black Coat" I thought.

After all he stood with his horse a little further forward breaking away and spreading an aura of cruelty, as if to say out loud that he was the most powerful among the ferocious rogues.

With a tone of voice that sounded cold like the voice of an owl - crowing in horror at night, the Chief Thieves spoke to me, his tone sounding like they were belittling me.

"Are you called Leah? The fighter girl that the birds say has taken the mission in the office of the City Lord Sahireb? You intend to finish off that Harpiest, don't you?" said the leader of the bandits, sounding cold with lighted eyes that displayed his veins in red.

"Yes right. It's me, Lea !" my answer is short a little lazy.

"Good !" he replied dumbfounded, seeing that I didn't look scared at all.

"Have you ever heard the name Mansour and the Black Coat Banditry Group before? The Black Coat is a collection of master rogues in this Atula Desert !

And you don't bother looking for them. We are this Group called Black Coat Thieves" Reply mansour pongah.

I felt as if I was smiling broadly, revealing his teeth gilded with gold, gleaming yellow but terrifying. My stomach was instantly nauseous.

Mansour even added, the more arrogant it sounded..

"They are all my men, my loyal followers.

Listen carefully, ladies, we came to warn you. Do not try to disturb the existence of Harpiest legendary creature that dwells in the Atulla Desert.

The curse will happen if Harpiest is to die !" menace Mansour between his red eyes like a demon.

I frowned as I was astonished by the mansour threat. I said.

"Why?

Why can't I take down that bully creature?

Try to give me one good reason so that I can leave with an airy heart" I replied indifferently.

Tsigg ! Twenty swords were instantly pointed at me.

Instead of answering my question for the exact reason why Harpiest they were protecting, there were even twenty of Mansour's men brandishing one-edged swords at me, ready to tear like killing me, dead on the spot.

Mansour said, mocking as he felt up in the wind with the help of twenty blades..

"Forget all that! Forget about Harpiest !

"I warned you early so you won't regret it later" Mansour said.

Hihihi, my laughter sounds like a female demon, breaking out in the silence of that uninhabited wilderness.

I laughed mockingly at Mansour, replying to the ragtag attitude. I said

"Dear Mansour and all the band of Black Coat Thieves." My voice sounded dramatic.

"I'm surprised. Why are you protecting Harpiest's monster bullies?

Is there a secret hidden behind all this?"

Blam ! This is definitely a challenge from me.

And Mansour's eyes were increasingly red, a sign of anger. But I did do it deliberately to provoke the wrath of the leader of the Black Coat Group.

With an increasingly cold voice, the quiver hid Mansour's anger saying..

"We're this band of bandits, trying to protect Harpiest's because we respect him as a creature of legend.

As for the reason, you need to know that Harpiest has tremendous power.

We believe that with his magic power, all this time he has been protecting us, surviving the pursuit and torment of the enemies.

His magic power did help us in every dangerous battle in this desert.

You must take note of the women.If Harpiest's power falls into improper hands, disaster will happen ! We don't believe in you either !" caci Mansour's.

But those words of strength jolted me.

"I had to kill that Harpiest, then take that magic power called Mansour" in my heart became an incredible overexcitement.

When my cultivation is stuck and cannot break through, isn't this Mansour information a bright spot for my progress? My lips curled, a thin smile looming over my face.

******

The weather was clear and I was standing in the middle of the wilderness facing twenty-one sword-wielding robbers.

I closed my eyes preparing to pump my magic power into my right and left hands.

My lips grinned with a sneer and then suddenly the flames around me overflowed in shades of blue and white formed in the form of the Fire Sword that looked terrible in my hands. All the Thieves who had been haughty and arrogant, were immediately stunned to see this dramatic attraction

Fear was clearly drawn on the faces of the Thieves, they were glued in silence full of horror. But they did not back down because there were only two options. Forwardly attack or surrender yourself to the fate of this girl.

I moved quickly like a shadow and with a single move I intended to destroy all the swords in the hands of the Black Mantle Robber.

Tsing, a jolt occurred, the sound of a sword scratch was heard.

I heard the sound of the swearing from the mouths of the twenty-one Thieves, as they released a sword that was boiling when it clashed with my flaming sword.

The screams of pain that call the word "Heat, embers !" it feels familiar to my ears.

Those frightened faces turned to despair when they realized that I, the woman they were underestimating was a fire-calling Affinity Witch.

I laughed creepily, looking ghastly like a female fire demon, when once again making a ring of fire, a hellish heat, with a blue flame tongue glowing up to two spears away.

In panic and fear, facing a fire-calling witch like me. suddenly Mansour, the leader of the Black-Coat Robbers, exclaimed..

"Reply the white mist"

I looked puzzled as the 21 Thieves reached into something from their pockets, it was a small round shape then crushed it by squeezing it, then throwing it at me.

"Poisons..

This is poisonous smoke!" my mind is trying to hold its breath.

I coughed and even choked when surrounded by 21 objects that were full forcefully emitting white smoke to form a poisonous mist.

I was barely strong against the drugging poison and made my body feel that weak. But it was fortunate that my status as a level 3 magician assistant, and with my survival value of 10 - this endurance element was what was able to make me endure the effects of poison.

Right then and there I became overflowing in anger and then took out the Fire Arrow fire spell curse.

Fire arrow, with blue flames soaring in my hand when the arrow formed then I spit out a curse and shouted out loud.

"Dead off !"

Duar - duar - duar !

I saw nothing else but I faintly heard a loud explosion as a result of the force of the steady explosion. One thing I believe is that the 21 thieves must have died with a curse with the Fire Arrow spell that is so wide.

Seriate.
