The Legendary Mage (Alavin)

Chapter 109

"First, heal your wounds; we're breaking out of here immediately," Adirich urged, with no time for idle talk. He quickly signaled his men to rally a few more mercenary bands. Raiding was far more convenient and quicker than mining treasures themselves. They had already acquired eight stones embedded with magical ore and a vast amount of precious Elixir Herbs and Elixir Fruits. A few more raids on the mercenary bands, and they could return home with their haul.

"But..." Trevas couldn't swallow the bitter pill, craning his neck in search of the 'villain.'

"Stop dawdling. You'll get your share," Adirich snapped, his eyes reddened by the lure of the riches. "Guys, let's hunt for prey!"

"Raid and plunder, haha!" the fifty-strong Protégés roared with passion, their eyes scanning eagerly.

Many mercenary bands hid in the chaos, fearing a plunder. But just then, a loud shout came from atop a high rock. The voice was piercing. "Treasure here! Great treasure! Super magical ore for those who want it!"

The scene was chaotic; ordinary voices wouldn't attract attention, but the words 'treasure' and 'Super magical ore' were too tempting, drawing the notice of many Protégés and mercenaries around.

"It's him!! That's the one!" Trevas' eyes reddened with recognition.

Alavin stood on a raised platform, holding aloft the massive stone he had snatched from Trevas, with the Super magical ore facing the crowd. The gleaming magical ore was too eye-catching in the dim light, like a potent stimulant shot into the hearts of the hundreds around, also quickly drawing the attention of numerous Magi-Monsters.

"That's mine!" Trevas growled through clenched teeth.

"Super magical ore?? Raid!" Adirich didn't hesitate, signaling his Protégés to attack. What would fifty of them be afraid of? Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

But then Alavin made a startling move, waving the massive stone and shouting, "Want it? There's more over there!" He pointed towards Adirich's group, many of whom held glowing stones or Elixir Fruits, their luminescence all the more enticing in the dim light, more wondrous.

Alavin hurled the massive stone toward Adirich's position, shouting, "Let’s go! Whoever takes it, it's theirs!"

"What the hell!" Adirich's rage flared, but in the next instant, his face turned green with dismay.

Alavin followed the stone, tumbling to the ground and sprinting with long strides. The Dawnedge Blade vibrated fiercely, casting a storm of sword shadows as he charged head-on at several Protégés. Fearless, unstoppable.

"Plunder, raid!" Mercenaries and Magi-Monsters from all directions surged towards them, like starved wolves upon succulent meat. The mercenaries who had been previously robbed, threw themselves into the fray with gritted teeth.

Adirich's band was strong; no one dared to attack them, but with someone leading the charge, why hold back? Just go get it!

The critical thing was the abundance of treasures they had, shining and dazzling in the dark.

Alavin, taking the lead, charged through the ranks, fighting recklessly, not to plunder but to create chaos.

The place descended into utter pandemonium, Magi-Monsters, and mercenaries joined the fray like predators, with even the sly Cobalt Strike Protégés rushing in. In the chaos and darkness, it was time for battle.

Trevas was nearly faint with rage. Not again?

Adirich was burning with fury. “Where did this bastard come from? Did I ever cross you?”

Alavin, seizing the moment of confusion, made his way to the center. His crude mask looked sinister in the dim light. Covered in blood, he emanated a murderous aura, like a demon emerging from hell. With a ferocious howl, he charged forward. The Earthtorrent Greatblade exuded the might of mountains and rivers, and its sword's energy boiled tumultuously.

Adirich's expression shifted, sensing the powerful sword energy. He couldn't gauge the stranger's origin or strength. Gritting his teeth, he dodged to the side, but... he forgot Trevas was behind him, and that Trevas was gravely wounded.

Trevas' face blanched as the chilling sword's energy magnified before his eyes.

It was over, his heart sank.

Thud!

Alavin brushed past Trevas, blood spraying, head severed from Trevas’ body! Trevas swayed and fell face up to the ground.

"Trevas!!" Adirich was shocked, and in utter disbelief as he stared at Trevas on the ground. Trevas was dead?
