Tranted by Kitchennovel dot
Sorry for theteness, I’ve been busy with work. I’ve been contracted to work as a tour guide for a week and we’re on call 24/7, so it’s been tough, but I survived!
“He actually won!”
Looking at the air where the giant Frost Dragon had been, the crowd was stunned into silence, before exploding into an uproar. When onepared the size of a giant Frost Dragon pitted against a tiny us, his victory felt almost absurd.
“Wow, Halfsies Beard Old Man is really awesome! Really, super awesome!” Amy’s eyes were wide as she pped her hands enthusiastically. Her clear blue eyes sparkling like gems as she looked at the staff in us’ hand. “That stick is really awesome, I really like it...”
Mike couldn’t help the surprise on his face, it was really hard to believe that us was 120 years old. However, the strength and agility he disyed were really augmented by magic. His ability to control the magic over his own body was nothing short of incredible.
“That old man is so scary!” the twove demons behind Sargerass looked terrified. They had already been freaked out by the dragon, who would have known that this super scary old man would actually destroyed the dragon with just one hit. This kind of strength shook up their confidence quite a bit. This was the first time they realized that the humans they often sneered at as weak and pathetic could actually be so powerful and scary.
“That old man is the one whose beard was burnt up by that little girl from the restaurant.” Sargerass told them mildly, he had seen the old man in action bashing up a real dragon, and therefore was able to restrain his reaction.
“That little girl is super scary!” the tall skinny demon said with some shock, after some hesitation, he tugged at Sargerass’ sleeves, a fearful look on his face, “Boss, how about we eat somewhere else instead? This is the first time Kiel and Ie to Chaos City, we can just pick any other restaurant and eat there, ba.”
“That’s right, it’s been a few decades since we’ve seen each other. We rushed here to see you the moment we got your message. We also have more brothers making their way here. Misty and I still want to have a good drink with Boss, it might actually be too exciting.” the short and fat demon nodded his head quickly.
“That restaurant don’t actually sell alcohol, it’s not like I n to give you guys a weing dinner anyway. What I want is for you to try their [Juicy Burger]. Once you’ve tried it, you’ll understand why I called you over to Chaos City.” Sargerass just shook his head at these two demon’s antics, and did not bother to say anything else.
The other two demons exchanged a look, all they got from this line was that Sargerass was not going to change his mind, and did not dare to say anything more.
Sargerass was the most outstandingva demon warrior in recent history and have led theva demon n against other demon races in countless battles.
However, 50 years ago he made a sudden decision to leave Demon Ind. The reason he gave was that he wanted to find another way forva demons to breakthrough their limits in order to reignite the glory of theva demon n. No news came from him ever since he left, until now.
A few days ago, they received news via a ming bird, with the message that he had found a way to forva demon warriors to breakthrough quickly, and for his band of warrior brothers to gather at Chaos City.
These past few years had not been good for theva demon ns, quite a few of their nsmen have taken to a wonderer’s life. Thus, for now, only the two of them coulde, however, they expected a few more nsmen to make their way to Chaos City.
Sargerass, this name carried the hopes of theva demon n. There were a few times they thought he had died roaming about the foreignnds, after all, it had been decades since theyst heard from him. Some even suspected that this invitation was a trap made by other demon race.
The two of them came to Chaos City and found Sargerass at the agreed meeting ce. Though it had been 50 years since they hadstid eyes on their leader, the mere sight of him ignited their warrior spirit immediately, theva demon n will no longer be oppressed by other demon races!
“You’ve slowed down a lot, your speed is only a third of what it used to be. You’ve really gone old.” Julian’s gaze was fathomless as he looked at us with some regret in his eyes.
“No, the truth is I am dying, if you still wish to fight me over this, only death will make me yield.” us slowly tightened his grip on his magic staff, a sudden burst of fire raced up the entire staff, the fire eventually enveloping his entire body. A roaring fire within a field of snow, it was certainly eye catching.
Julian frowned, this time, he remained silent for a much longer period. Then, his rough voice sounded, “The people who have survived the war have mostly died off, who would have thought that the two of us stubborn old farts would survive till now.”
“People are meant to die eventually, we are old, there can’t be too many years in front of us.” us’ face was serene. He looked at the old withered face of his opponent, so hunched over that it looked like he was carrying arge tortoiseshell on his back. It was true, survivors of that war had all died, one after another. There were only a few of them left.
“That’s right, since we are all about to die, I have no problem sending you off a little earlier.” Julian nodded, a cold grin etched upon his face. He brandished his short ck staff once, sharp icicles burst out from around us’ feet, at the rate it was growing, it looked like it would close in on us like a birdcage.
Everyone’s heart rate quickened, the skill that Julian disyed this time was nothing short of a sneak attack. The attack was so sudden that it would be difficult even for us to escape!
“You and I have pretty simr way of thinking. A smile appeared on us’s face, he brought his staff down sharply on the floor, and the fire around him med out into a tall fire wall. Struck by the fire, the solid icicles made several cracking sounds, eventually shattering and copsing into water vapour. The amazing sneak attack was thus easily neutralized.
us thrust his body forward, dashing forwards towards Julian, smashing up random ice blocks that kept appearing to stop him. He looked unstoppable.
[Pang!] In a blink of an eye, us appeared in front of Julian, the staff in his hand swing up without hesitation, and smashed into Julian’s head. With a loud crack, the wizard in front of his shattered into pieces of ice. It was an ice puppet!
“us, I am right here...” Julian’s voice came from behind. Everyone looked towards the voice and had to blink a few times. There were countless number of Julian in the square, all of them wearing the same sneering expression on their faces.
“That’s a lot of Tortoise Grandpas, which is the real grandpa?” Amy looked left and right, appearing very interested in this development, trying to look for the real Julian but there was no way to really see which was the real Julian.
“Julian, you still like to y hide and seek games like this, as a great wizard, isn’t this kind of tricks beneath you?” us frowned at the countless number of Julians.
“us, you are the one who had deviated from the true path of magic. Do you even realize how many promising young mage ended up losing to those cheap soldiers and knights while trying to follow your bull headed footsteps? The way of a magician is to toy with the enemy and use subtle skills against their brute strength. Honour and straightforward fighting is best left to soldiers and idiots.” Julian’s voice rose with anger, his hands rose with his voice, readying himself for the next attack,
“Stop fighting, if you people fight any more it will damage our restaurant. Amy is really angry now. Amy also knows fireballs, if you don’t stop, I’ll burn you up with my fireball!”
A voice childlike voice carried across the square ringing threat.
