Chapter 876 - 876 Taken as a Hostage

876 Taken as a Hostage

I was lying on my side with my head supported by my hand. Then the clan leader, the one who started all this, was sneaking up on me.

I was looking at the girls fighting while everyone was ignoring me. But it seems like he didn’t ignore me at all.

He’s trying to sneak on me from my blind spot. Though unfortunately, I don’t have any blind spot. So I just let him do whatever he wants. Unless he ended up to be the second Hill. I have to protect my back side no matter what then.

Though he’s sneaking so carefully. Not to avoid my sight, but also to avoid the girls’ sight. Though I’m sure that Jewel has noticed him already.

To make sure to observe everything in the surrounding. That’s what I taught my disciple. So she knows that I’m in danger.

Well, not really. I’m sure that she doesn’t care at all because she knows that this clan leader won’t be able to do anything to me. I’m just way too strong for any weaker than average expert level mage. Even if they are expert level lightning mage, an element which has the strongest offensive power, I can hold back quite well.

I sparred with Jewel a lot. So I have been shocked many times with her lightning magic. And I can say that any lightning magic that are weaker than Jewel’s won’t affect me much. Though I will still feel the shock, I can endure it with Aura covering my body.

The only problem after that is my hair which is straight and fabulous will stand up straight for a few hours.

Well, that would be funny. So I will stay here and let the man do whatever he wants except for the things that I don’t want.

.....

But I think it will take some time before he can get here. Because he’s extremely careful. Or slow.

He should have seen that the girls’ magic were not that fast. And he should be an expert level mage. So he must have good enough physical ability to get here fast, right?

I guess the reason why there are many bad rumors about his clan but he could still roam free is because of his carefulness. Though this is annoying to wait.

Many people have fallen. Several have died already. But those who were alive were still fighting. As if they are happy that their friends died.

“If more of them died, then I can play with the girls for a longer time!”

I heard someone said that. Though most of the men were targeting the four girls from Gladius. No one targeting Jewel since she’s in her rhino form all the time. And Nana, the oldest lady in the party, even have some fans.

Well, everyone has different tastes. I’ll just let them do what they want. Though they ended up died or getting injured from the girls.

While Jewel is still running around, the girls started to get tired. Except for the two expert level mages who have more stamina and mana.

But the men also slowly getting depressed. Some of them have given up. They kept their distance to wait until all the girls were tired. But they got attacked by a rhino instead. They should not forget that there’s a rhino running about.

Meanwhile, the clan leader of these thugs have gotten closer to me. And he has two other men with him. I guess it’s to restrain me.

I think I remember these two men. Their clan have several expert level mages, and these two are expert level mages. The clan leader as well.

Though they’re still no match against me even without Aura. But I still covered my body with Aura to protect myself from the magic that they will use.

Finally, they make their move. The two men grabbed me who was lying around and lifted me up. Now I’m standing again. But with both my arms being restrained. So it seems as if I’m unable to move.

How wrong they are.

“Stop fighting! Or I will kill this doctor!”

Kill the doctor? I guess saying “Kill the D-rank hunter,” doesn’t sound too threatening.

The girls stopped fighting out of worry. Did they forget that I was the one pulling them out from underground with just my physical strength? They should know that I can defeat these three in an instant. But I guess it has been so long since we last met so they forgot about it.

Meanwhile, there’s one rhino who is still running wild. Ignoring the fact that her teacher is being taken as a hostage.

“Stop! I said stop! Or I will really kill this guy!” the clan leader shouted to Jewel.

“Jewel, stop! Roy is in danger!” Nana shouted.

But Jewel continued to ignore us. Even though she could hear us clearly.

Meanwhile, I’m just there acting scared.

“Ah. Help. I’m. In. Danger.”

“What kind of person being monotone asking for help while being taken as hostage!” the clan leader said.

“This. Guy.”

“You think this is a joke?! Fine, if that’s what you want, consider this as the first warning! Lightning Shock!”

What kind of magic is Lightning Shock? I think it’s the first time I’ve heard that.

Though now that I felt it, it seems to be the weakest lightning magic. And it also only affected me even though there are two men grabbing my arms.

Even though I said that it affected me, it only got my hair stand up straight. It’s too weak to break through my Aura.

“...Is that it?” I asked.

“How are you still fine?!”

Because I’m just too amazing.

Still, seeing that the girls other than Jewel are not doing anything, I guess I should get involved. Because if I don’t, it will take way too long to handle

“I am fine because it will be too embarrassing if someone like you, only a weak expert level mage, can hurt someone like me who has reached master level in my summoning element,” I said.

“M-Master level?!”

After I exposed my real strength, I released myself from the restraints, grabbed the two men’s head, and hit them to each other. The brain matter of the two were flying around in pieces with just my strength. Even though I still haven’t use my Aura to attack.

“N-no way!” the clan leader fell on his butt on the ground. And without using Divine Vision, I can see his pants is wet.

“What are you looking at? You have a fight to finish!” I said to the members of Gladius.

They realized that it’s time to fight back when all the members of the enemy clan are shocked after seeing my strength. And they killed them all.

Though it’s bad that they just killed anyone in sight. They should have killed those who can fly first.

I guess I’ll take care of them. For those who have retreated early, I don’t care about them. But these guys know that I’m a master level summoner. So killing them is the right choice.

Those who tried to escape, I just used Victoria as a bullet and shot her using air magic. And just like that, peace has returned.

“You’re a master level?” Jessica asked.

“Oh, right. Don’t tell this to anyone. Or just like the Princess, I will be targeted,” I said.

“The Princess was targeted?!” Nana asked.

“Yes. There were too many of them, so they asked our clan for help. Or should I say that the Princess herself is already a member of the clan in the first place so we’re just helping our own teammate? Well, whatever. Oh, kept the fact that she’s a member of the clan as secret as well,” I said casually.

“Does that mean even Angela and Kayla have reached master level?” Jessica asked.

“Kayla has reached master level. But Angela hasn’t. Though if it’s her, she will surely reach that level sooner or later. I think that’s too much secret leaked for you. That’s enough talking. Let’s continue the journey again,” I said.

“...Understood. What should we do with these corpses then? There are too many of them in the road. Then monsters will come from the smell. I guess we should move them first before we leave,” Nana said.

“I’ll take care of them!” Jewel said.

Then, Jewel who was still in her rhino form, transformed to another rhinoceros. And this one is the one that can use earth magic. Then she used earth magic to move them all out of the road, and bury them deep enough so that no one can notice them. And we’re done.

We continued our journey in silence. Though that was just for a few minutes before someone asked Jewel about the clan and everyone else in it. Then everyone quickly acting like normal and continued talking after just one sentence from Jewel.

“My master is outside the common sense. So it’s natural that everyone around him is the same.”

...How could they believe such word so easily and treat me like normal again? They are also weird.
