Chapter 200


    “Attack!!” Einr suddenly roared, charging at the bandits with his sword. His de cut through the


    air, and a tide of energy burst forth, shocking the space and sweeping toward the bandits.


    “Run!! Scale the walls, and don’t look back!” the other guards cried hoarsely, unleashing their


    strongest Combat Magic against the bandits.


    Boom!


    The bandit leader casually waved away Einr’s mighty surge, leaving a shadow in his ce. In an


    instant, he appeared before Einr. His de was falling swiftly, with no flourish but with


    astonishing speed.


    Thwack! Before Einr could react, his body was severed, blood spraying in a tragic arc, staining


    the dark night.


    “Ahh!” The remaining nine guards, resigned to their fate, charged in a frenzy, swung swords, and


    lashed whips. Energy boiled over, and all struck at the bandits.


    Butpared to these bandits, they were far too weak.


    Blood sprayed in all directions, painting the sky crimson. Nine of the Mallister family''s guards were


    struck down almost simultaneously. Their once-believed formidable Combat Magic proved utterly


    ineffective against these peculiar bandits. Not even a ripple was caused amidst the turmoil.


    Thedies of the Mallister household were shocked before they snapped to their senses. "Miss, run!


    Run!" The maids urged desperately, taking several steps forward to form a human barrier. Tears


    filled their eyes as they bravely faced the bandits.


    Oda sobbed uncontrobly, but Helna mped a hand over her mouth and forcefully pushed her


    away.


    The women of the Mallister family had no time for goodbyes, let alone to grieve, as they scrambled


    to scale the wall.


    Having dispatched the guards, the banditsughed heartily and lunged toward thedies.


    Oda was the first to climb the stone wall, feeling deste and in despair. Her mind went nk. But


    then...


    Whoosh! A figure suddenly leaped onto the rampart, standing in front of her.


    Oda instinctively looked up. A portly man was dressed in a ck robe. His eyebrows furrowed, and


    his eyes seemed fierce.


    More figures seemed to drop from the sky, appearing on the wall to either side of him. In an instant,


    the wall was filled with people, panting and sweating, but their eyes emanated a murderous intent


    as they took in the sight of the blood-soaked ground and the bodies.


    "You are...?" Oda began to speak.


    The women below quickly pulled her down, looking at the wall anxiously and fearfully. There were


    bandits here, too! They were surrounded.


    "Who are you?" asked the bandits in the courtyard, puzzled. Where did these peoplee from?


    Had the Grand Elder arranged for others toe?


    "What do you want?" Oda screamed through her tears. Bandits were supposed to steal treasures,


    so why were they killing everyone and surrounding them?


    The chubby man nced at the distant mes leaping into the sky, then extended his hand toward


    Oda. "Sorry, we''rete."


    "Ah?" Oda gaped in bewilderment.


    "Sorry! We''rete!" The people on the wall murmured in unison, thenunched themselves into the


    air like arrows shot from bows, charging at the bandits in the courtyard.

    Midair, beneath the night sky, they tumbled and dove headlong with a thunderous roar. "Kill them!"


    The sound shook the night, reverberating through the stone courtyard.


    The bandit’s faces turned pale with the realization that these neers were enemies!


    Just then, suddenly, a great number of dark figures burst from beyond the wall, soaring into the sky,


    high as hawks in the night. Their formation was neat, and their approach was spectacrly awe-


    inspiring. Their eyes were fierce, their hands gripped short spears, and as they somersaulted


    through the air, they hurled their weapons with all their might.


    Thepact spears, crafted from pristine steel, shimmered under the light as they took flight. Each


    launch was apanied by a distinct crack, akin to a cannon firing. They spun rapidly in mid-air,


    akin to lethal drills, carrying winds as wild as a storm. A high-pitched whistle echoed each time they


    made contact with the bandits.


    The spears rained down like a torrential storm, hitting the bandits before the first wave of attackers,


    engulfing them in a ferocious onught.


    The bandits hardly had time to react, barely able to dodge instinctively. The spears were fast and


    fierce, instantly ying more than thirty men; some were pierced through the chest, others had their


    throats shattered, and some had their legs broken. The scene was horrific, chilling to the bone.


    Some spears missed their targets but exploded into the ground, creating shocking craters and


    sending stones flying and dust billowing.


    Piercing screams echoed through the courtyard. It was a one-sided massacre, an astonishing


    suppression.


    After a wave of spear assaults, the front wave of attackers followed. Their coordination was


    seamless, leaving virtually no gaps. Their des were like waves, and their edges were glinting as


    they pressed the attack on the remaining bandits.


    "Who are you?" the surviving bandits shouted in a mix of shock and rage, shing head-on.


    Boom, boom, boom!!!


    A fierce collision ensued, and a terrible mor apanied by dust and debris rose into the air,


    smashing through the front stone wall, with over a dozen bloodied figures thrown backward.


    Not far away, the rest of the bandits, who were arrogantly ravaging the manor, all looked up at once


    toward the tumultuous wall.
