157. Escape X

Sylph only needed to swing a staff and exert magic a few times to charge a small portion of the true Lavore Kingdom army. His death rate was low but all suffered various injuries. Not a few who get heavy injuries, the rest may only be moderate or mild injuries.

   "Hmm, it seems like I'm a little too much."

   "Little head! You even destroyed some innocent houses!"

Sylph was scratching her cheek feeling a little guilty when Reus came to her while exclaiming.

At first Reus was happy to see Sylph's magic sweep away the troops without a fight but his forehead shriveled as the same magic also destroyed some of the buildings around, he said, especially the innocent homes in this incident.

Sylph received Reus' scolding for some time due to his fatal mistake before being stopped by a darting arrow targeting Reus' head, fortunately Reus' alertness was high enough that he could dodge the attack just now just by pulling his head back.

Reus turned his gaze to an archer in the ranks of the army that had broken the formation.

   "Can you wait at least until I finish scolding this guy? He could hurt innocent people."

A semi-transparent blue blade appeared in Reus' left hand which he immediately threw at the archer.

The archer spontaneously lowered the eye protection attached to his helmet to fend off Reus' attack, unfortunately instead of being reflected, the knife penetrated his eye protection and lodged deep enough in the archer's forehead before disappearing a few moments later.

True, the blade was the Jester Knife, one of the ranged skills that Reus relied on quite often before getting Telekinesis.

The soldiers who witnessed it were in disbelief. They think Reus is weaker than Sylph so go after him first but the assumption is wrong, precisely Reus looks more dangerous than Sylph.

   "Well, I understand what you mean. I won't use large-scale magic before entering the nobility area."

   "Hey, use large-scale magic only when you reach the Zackfone family residence! Do not involve people who are not concerned!"

   "Yes yes, I understand. You're nagging like my mom."

Sylph grumbled softly about Reus' attitude while covering both ears, while Reus himself felt a little annoyed at Sylph's response. He wanted to say more but the opposing archer troops would not wait any longer.

They had already released a rain of arrows towards the two.

   "Sylph, get rid of the rain of arrows. I'll go forward."

   "Okay, I'll help you from behind."

After saying so Reus kicked the ground darting towards the archer line without any trepidation, while Sylph swung back her magic wand.

   "Gale Blow!"

In one swing Sylph brought forth a strong gust of wind that managed to sweep away the rain of arrows in the sky. Most were blown back and rained down on their own comrades, while the rest fell elsewhere.

As the troops were preoccupied by the rain of returned arrows, Reus was only a few steps away from the front foot soldier. He raised his sword and deployed the Dragon Smite to split his two opponents in a single slash.

The sight surprised the soldiers who witnessed it but they had not had time to react, Reus had already raised his left hand and deployed Telekinesis to throw dozens of people into the sky at one time then pulled it again to hit the ground.

There was a lot of broken bones from the magical dings, but that didn't stop Reus. He darted back to the front, this time using a Sprint while circling the body several times on his way.

As Reus managed to reach one of the closest opponents, he swung his sword with all his might accompanied Swing.

Thanks to Reus' ferocious action of slaughtering every soldier in a single attack, the attention of the troops was focused on him. They all tried to stop Reus at all costs to forget the one person who was as dangerous as Reus.

   "Whirlwind Coasters!"

From a distance Sylph swung her magic wand, creating a small but far more dangerous whirlwind than an ordinary whirlwind moving towards the warrior on the other side.

The soldiers were too late to notice the presence of the whirlwind because they were too focused to stop Reus, they were sucked into the whirlwind and thrown high into the sky through the funnel-shaped wind above. They fell into the street and died instantly.

   "Hey, don't copy my technique! Use your own original magic!"

   "This is my original magic! You're the one who imitated it!"

Reus voiced his protest when he saw Sylph's magic at a glance imitating his Telekinesis mechanism, of course Sylph did not accept his magic being likened then the two ended in a long-distance debate.

   "If you're a fighter, don't show me carelessness!"

When Reus was caught off guard and opened a gap while arguing with Sylph, the three sword-wielding warriors immediately closed the distance and swung their swords intending to deliver a surprise attack. Unfortunately, the surprised one is the opposite.

Reus glanced at the three soldiers for a moment before raising his voice.

   "If you want to do a surprise attack, strike without a sound."

The swords of the three warriors had not yet touched Reus' body but there was the sound of the clinking of the swords on all their swords at the same time. Their eyes widened to see five semi-transparent black-colored swords appearing around Reus' body and holding their swords.

   "Rolling Swords!"

Reus aimed his five swords into a wheel-like circular formation, then turned them tight like a gaseous slash of their armor and bodies with ease.

All three died in shock because suddenly appeared five swords from Reus' body that directly slashed them.

The other soldiers who witnessed the incident were wide-eyed. Three of their comrades were killed in an instant at Reus' hands as if the three of them were not his opponents at all.

   "He's too strong...."

   "We can't win...."

   "Frosty! Just go! Save your lives!"

Most of the soldiers lost their fighting will and chose to leave the location so that their lives were saved, unfortunately Reus did not take them off just like that.

Reus could see the soldiers running away from the fight, kicking the ground and darting towards them in an instant using a Sprint.

   "You've come here, you don't have to think about coming back!"

Reus thrust his left hand forward, deploying Telekinesis to pull out all the soldiers within his reach. At the same time Reus uses Telekinesis on the debris of the building Sylph destroyed earlier as a weapon.

The wreckage hit the soldiers Reus managed to pull without mercy. Almost all died instantly, some are still alive but suffered severe injuries. Reus wasn't quite satisfied there.

Again Reus deployed his Telekinesis to the rubble of the building, throwing the ruins of the building directly over the heads of the soldiers. When the ruins are attracted by gravity, all of their opponents are killed by the rubble.
