Chapter 110 The girl is Albad
Reading Settings
The magic surged through my body, condensing into dozens of fine, dust-like grains of sand at my feet, which then spun and hurtled outwards.
Rumble...
The sand exploded not far from the man, turning into a sandstorm that enveloped them.
"Ah... what is this! I can't open my eyes!"
"Damn brat! What have you done!"
"Now!"
Taking advantage of the opening, I rushed towards the two of them and snatched the girl away. After all, because of her, I couldn't use King-level magic at all, lest I hurt her.
However, the sandstorm seemed to have affected the girl as well. She kept rubbing her eyes and struggling in my arms, almost causing me to lose my balance and fall to the ground.
"Stop messing around! It's me!"
"What an idiot!"
He gritted his teeth and slapped the girl on the buttocks, speaking in an extremely harsh and vicious tone.
"Mmm...woo..."
The girl was initially surprised when she heard my voice. She squinted at me for a long time before bursting into tears, clearly terrified.
"..."
There's no way to forgive a girl for crying, especially since I was too careless in not protecting her.
"Hey! Where's the girl? What happened!"
"You brat!"
After the sandstorm subsided, the man realized that the girl was in my hands, which seemed quite unbelievable. However, he then shouted at me in a tone that was very unpleasant to hear.
"Hmm... At times like this, I prefer to address him as Lord Leon! Just casually adding the word 'bastard' really shows a complete lack of manners."
In short, I gathered a large fireball in my palm and aimed it at the two of them, ready to unleash it.
"Ugh! You bastard!"
Seeing me unleash magic again, it seemed to have become wary after suffering a loss earlier, clenching its fists, and a battle was about to break out.
"Hmph! Kid! You really think you can defeat us just because you know a little magic? Don't underestimate us!"
The guy who rushed up was the same one who had been carrying the girl earlier. He was the same bald guy who had broken the girl's ribs after rushing into the warehouse and kicked me twice as well.
The saying goes, "A gentleman takes his revenge," and it's not too late now.
Driven by magic, the giant fireball hurtled rapidly toward the bald man.
To my surprise, although the bald man looked like a rough-looking guy, he was surprisingly agile. He dodged the fireball attack in a few steps and then kicked me in the stomach.
Bang……
Fortunately, I reacted in time and created an earthen wall in front of me to block the bald man's attack. Dealing with these two men really doesn't allow for carelessness.
"mud"
This is an earth magic that can transform the surrounding environment into a swamp, which can not only slow down enemies but also trap them firmly within it.
I don't know how long it's been since I last used "Mud Swamp". It's really useless against opponents like Agatha who are so fast they're practically cheating. But against these two rough guys right now, it's more than enough.
Therefore, I brought out my long-forgotten technique once again. As the magic gathered, it started from the ground beneath the bald man's feet and spread to another man.
Before the two could react, they were already stuck in a deep quagmire. Although my magic was not enough to make them sink completely, I could still control their movements.
"Damn it! What is this now?"
"Hey! Come over here and give me a hand!"
The bald man, trapped in the mud, anxiously shouted to another man, but when he turned around, he found that the other man was also stuck in the mud, unable to help him and barely able to save himself.
"You brat!"
Listening to the bald man's angry curses, I felt very proud at that moment, not only because I had defeated the two kidnappers, but also because I had shown off in front of the girl.
Now, she can't help but admire me.
"Giant Fireball"
However, just as I was about to use the giant fireball to end the battle, my magic power instantly became chaotic, and the gathered fireball dissipated in an instant.
"This is bad...!"
I knew exactly what this meant: the kidnapper's accomplice, the guy carrying the magical artifact, had appeared.
Almost simultaneously with the dissipation of the fireball, the swamp returned to its original state as the magic became disordered.
"Tch... That's despicable..."
He couldn't help but curse under his breath, then turned and grabbed the girl, running towards the main road.
Having suffered a great loss at the inn and the city government last time, this time the destination was set at the Adventurers' Guild. I believe that even if these kidnappers are arrogant, they won't cause trouble in the guild.
Unless they really have no brains?
"Hey! Why are we running? Let's go back and beat them up!"
It seems that my brilliant move just now ignited the girl's fighting spirit.
"Uh... what are we going to use to beat them up...?"
I really don't understand what's going on in this young lady's head. Can't she see such an obvious situation?
"..."
—Just as I was having my doubts.
I could hear something streaking across the sky, hurtling toward us at an incredible speed.
"A longsword?"
When I turned my head to look, I found that it was actually a long sword, as if it had been thrown at us with great force.
But none of the three kidnappers chasing us were the type who usually used longswords. Where did they get the longswords?
"Damn it! Are there more accomplices?"
Just as I was having this thought, the girl seemed to kick something, and her whole body fell forward. I, who was holding her hand, was also affected and fell to the ground in the opposite direction from her.
The longsword flew straight toward us at an astonishing speed.
In this situation, I reflexively realized that I couldn't dodge and could only watch helplessly as the sword got closer and closer.
The track, which was previously the chest, became the head.
Just then, a brownish-red object suddenly appeared in front of them.
At the same time, a crisp metallic clang was heard, and then the longsword fell to the ground.
"Leon! Are you alright?!"
"Huh!"
What's before me? Lilith!
"Leave the rest to me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, I caught a glimpse of Lilith rushing toward the two burly men at an astonishing speed. In just one exchange, two unconscious kidnappers lay on the ground.
"Leon! Are there only two enemies?"
Hearing Lilith's shout brought me back to my senses, reminding me of the guy who had carried magical artifacts and thrown the longsword earlier.
"There should be two more! Lilith! Be careful!"
I don't know where Ling and the other two are hiding, but they shouldn't be too far away.
Seeing Lilith look up and sniff, then turn into another alley, when she reappeared, she was holding a figure in her hand, the man carrying the magical artifact.
"As expected of Lilith."
However, I felt inexplicably awkward at this moment. It was supposed to be a moment for a King-level mage to perform, but I still had to rely on Lilith.
As for the guy who threw the longsword, he was fast enough that Lilith couldn't catch him. But judging from the direction he ran, I already had a rough idea of what was going on.
After handing the three kidnappers over to Olivia, the matter was finally brought to a satisfactory conclusion.
What I find incredible is that the girl's name is actually...
Isabel Albad.
