The Great Sorcerer
Travelling to the City of Mertur #3

*set*

Gren grabbed the twig from the bushes where the source of the splashing sound was. “Sniif...Huuuuh...” Gren took a deep breath to calm his racing heart.

After feeling a little calm, Gren slowly began to get rid of the branches of the bushes and see what was behind it, which turned out to be just a ferret.

Seeing that, Gren immediately heaved a sigh of relief, his heart again thumped normally, and his sweat stopped flowing.

“Fyuhhh.. Turns out only weasels.” Gren said with relief.

And immediately the ferret immediately ran away to see Gren who was in front of him. “Eh!” Gren was a little surprised.

“Am I that bad I made him run like that?” Gren. “It's like looking at monsters only.” Gren.

“While in the city, many women are crazy about me.” He said with great confidence to his face that had begun to wrinkle. And the ‘women’ she was referring to was actually a comfort woman.

Gren was actually a little sorry, because his curiosity turned out to be a weasel seeokor. He hoped that what he saw was a ghost or a beast.

*SNIF*

And suddenly, when Gren wanted to stand up from his squat, he felt a warm gust of wind that was pounding all over his back.

“Grrrr.” And followed by the sound of animal growls.

And as soon as Gren's feelings became unpleasant, his body trembled violently and sweat drenched his body again.

Slowly, Gren turned his body and looked back to see what was behind him.

Gren moved very carefully, trying not to make any sudden movements. And when Gren turned his head, it turned out to be a big black dog with an iron bars necklace around his neck.

And not just one, but 2 dogs one meter tall.

Gren panicked at the sight of the dog right behind him.

“GROOAAAARRR.” The two dogs roared.

Gren reflexively grabbed his back quickly, to pick up his weapon in the form of an arrow, but his weapon was left behind in the camp.

Looking at Gren who made such a sudden Movement, the instant a dog before him immediately opened his mouth wide and immediately pounced on Gren quickly.

Gren was surprised. “HUAAAAA!!” And yelled so loudly, and made another dog also pounce on Gren.

Meanwhile, Owen who was still half-conscious woke up upon hearing the roar of a fairly loud animal.

And seeing that his friend Gren is nowhere he should be keeping watch.

At once Owen immediately felt annoyed, seeing his friend who was greedily on guard was not even there. “Where's the fuck?” Mumbled.

Owen thinks that Gren went up the tree to continue his sleep, and it has become Gren's habit if he gets a night vigil.

Owen intends to go find Gren, but when he wants to wake up, Owen's hand nudges something that is Gren's arrow weapon.

Instantly an uneasy feeling enveloped Owen.

“HUAAAAA!!” There was a shout coming from within the forest, which was the cry of Grem.

Owen then immediately stood up, and ran towards the source of the sound Gren came from. “GREEEN!” Shouted Owen.

Just a few steps away, Owen suddenly halted his steps as he looked at the black shadow that darted swiftly in front of him.

Owenpun immediately fell silent to see 2 Hell Hounds in front of him.

What distinguishes the Hell Hound with dogs in general is, the body of the Hell Hound that can grow as high as one and a half meters with a red line burning like fire from the tip of the mouth line to the abdomen.

The Hell Hound is an animal that originated in hell, and it is believed that Hell Hound was born into the human world due to the destruction of demon stones, which create an inter-dimensional gate.

But inter-dimensional travel is not easy, inter-dimensional travel is very draining of mana, and can make a person die out of mana while traveling between dimensions.

“Or maybe someone called him?” Owen.

Owen suddenly flinched as he looked at the fresh blood still dripping down the mouths of the two Hell Hounds. And there was a piece of cloth stuck in his mouth, a green cloth that looked familiar to Owen.

And soon Owen awakens to the sound of Gren's loud screams from behind the forest and disappears, and Gren never returns.

Owenpun realized that his friend was no longer there, tears began to stem in his eyes, but saw the 2 Hell Hounds in front of him was the opening time to cry.

Owen then rubbed his eyes and looked at the face with anger. “I'll avenge Gren to you!” Gren said loudly.

*DUAAAR!!!*

A huge explosion resounded loudly, making Hugo, Rio, until Jason woke up from his sleep, but Deorsa still fell asleep in his sleep.

“Su-voice what is it?” Said Rio who instantly regained his senses.

Hugo was still half conscious. “What's the matter, why is it so stormy?” Ask Hugo.

Hugo then glanced towards Rio who was in a state of silence would see something.

Curious, Hugo then turned towards Rio look.

*Tang Ting*

And saw Owen was fighting alone against 2 Hell Hounds with a dagger that he always kept under his clothes.

The movement of the 2 Hell Hounds was very fast, coupled with its sharp and powerful claws and bites making anyone who was hit by the attack unable to move back.

*Set Set Set*

However Owen was a very experienced knight, with his sword martial ability as well as the wind magic element he possessed, making the second attack of the Hell Hound unable to hit him at all.

Owen then unsheathed his dagger into one of the Hell Hounds in front of him followed by a green-colored magic aura that began to envelop him.

And a green magic circle appeared on the tip of his dagger's eyes. “Magic of Wind-Wind Cutter” Owen strikes with a dagger and produces a wind blow that resembles a cutting knife towards one of the Hell Hounds.

The hell hound then opened its mouth wide.

*GRAP*

And then it bit into Owen's magic attack, making his magic attack vanish with a flash.

Owenpun was very surprised to see the Hell Hound that could fend off the attack.

“Eh?” Owen suddenly flinched.

“GROOOAR!” Another Hell Hound suddenly jumped at Owen with his mouth ready to pounce on him.

But Owen's movements and his fighting instincts were no less quick, and he could avoid the surprise attack with great ease.

“What the fuck, it is not usually Hell hound can fend off my magic attack.” Owen.

Owen then realized that he was fighting only with a dagger whose magic was not as powerful as his sword.

And the sword was stored beside Deorsa who was still sleeping soundly.

Owen was very upset to see Deorsa who became the leader of the escort group was still able to fall asleep, after his partner died and Owen had to fight alone against 2 Hell Hounds.

“Ri-Rio what is it?” Hugo said with trembling lips.

Rio felt extremely frightened, as this was the first time he had seen Hell Hound directly before his eyes. “Tu-lord, k-k-we have to get out of here.” Said Rio haltingly.

And so is Jason who is hiding in his carriage while hoping for his safety.

Jason's body shook violently, making his horse carriage also vibrate because of his large body. “God, please, save servant.” Jason's prayer in my heart.
