Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 177: Kill Them!
Chapter 177: Kill Them!
After killing the soldiers of Icria City and Nafield City, Ren approached Captain Alice and the others.
"Let me treat your wounds." Ren didn’t take them to Nightshire City immediately because he could heal them with his healing magic.
"Alright." Captain Alice was not surprised when Ren offered to heal her because she knew he was Aeris. freewebnσvel.cѳm
’Hmm?’
The expression of deep shock blossomed on her face when her shattered bones realigned, and her torn flash reknitted itself.
She previously thought he would use low-tier healing magic, not mid-tier spells like the ones their healing mages wielded at the base, because healing magic was not his primary focus.
But the moment a golden light enveloped her body, she finally realized that her guess was wrong, completely wrong.
’A high Tier healing magic?’
She instantly recognized the tier of his healing magic because her severely wounded body healed within seconds.
Like Captain Alice, Lieutenant Lewis, and the others were also shocked.
However, they remained silent and only watched in awe because they didn’t want to disturb him.
’Ren, how can you be skilled in both healing and combat?! Just how much of a genius are you?’
They wondered in disbelief.
Several seconds later, Ren finished healing her. "Done!"
"Thank you, Ren." Captain Alice expressed her gratitude.
Ren didn’t say anything, but he smiled and nodded.
After Ren finished healing all the injured soldiers, General Viviana spoke, "Now, let’s give our fallen comrades a proper burial."
"Understood." Lieutenant Lewis and the others responded.
They buried the fallen soldiers outside the cave.
As they stood before the freshly dug graves, sorrow clouded their expressions.
Some of them even nearly broke into tears because they already considered each other as brothers and sisters.
However, they held back their tears because they were heroes. They should send the heroes to their final resting place with honor, not sorrow.
"I will report this to Scarlett first. After that, I will return here." Ren wanted to inform her of the new situation so she would not continue worrying.
"Alright." General Viviana responded,
After creating two ice clones, Ren used the Void Steps skill to travel to Nightshire City.
----
City Guard Headquarters, Scarlett’s Office.
"That’s the situation in the Mana Crystal mine." Ren, who was sitting on the sofa in front of Scarlett, delivered the report.
"I see." Scarlett said, "Ren, take me there now."
"Sure." He responded.
They walked out of her office immediately.
When they were in the courtyard of the city guard headquarters, he used Void Steps skill, taking her to the Mana Crystal mine.
Lieutenant Lewis, who was guarding the entrance of the cave, rushed toward them when he noticed Scarlett.
"Welcome, city mistress." Lieutenant Lewis uttered.
"Are Captain Alice and General Viviana inside?" Scarlett inquired.
"Yes." Lieutenant Lewis responded.
Right after Ren and Scarlett entered the cave, Lieutenant Lewis guarded the entrance again.
Scarlett stopped her footsteps when she noticed traps before her.
"Traps?" she noticed the hidden danger because she was wearing an Eclipse Bracelet, an artifact given by Ren.
"Yes. This tunnel is filled with many traps." He said, "But don’t worry. I will take care of it later, so that we can mine the Mana Crystal without any trouble."
"Un." She nodded her head.
Ren carried her in a princess style and used the Divine Steps skill to walk through the tunnel.
Happiness trembled inside of her when countless glowing crystals came into view because those crystals were money in her eyes.
’My city will be rich and my people will be prosperous.’
Right after he put her down, she approached the Mana Crystals.
Even though she was thrilled, she maintained her composure because her subordinates were around her.
"City mistress..."
"City mistress..."
Captain Alice and General Viviana approached her when they noticed her.
Scarlett shifted her gaze to Captain Alice and asked, "How is your condition?"
"I’m fine." Captain Alice said Ren had healed her injuries, so she was fine.
"City mistress, we explored this cave and discovered another chamber below. It’s also filled with Mana Crystals." General Viviana, who was normally calm, almost could not control her happiness because there were two chambers filled with Mana Crystals under the cave.
"Two chambers filled with Mana Crystals?" Scarlett inquired.
"Yes." General Viviana responded, "Please follow me. I will take you there."
Scarlett nodded before finally following her.
Right after checking the second chamber, the group of four made their way back outside the cave.
Once Scarlett was safely home, Ren returned to the Mana Crystal Mine, determined to remove all the traps and make it completely safe.
With the help of his system and ice clones, he successfully cleared every trap.
"Did you clear out the traps?" Lieutenant Lewis approached him when he saw him walking out of the cave.
"Yes. It’s safe now." Ren responded,
"By the way, why are you still wearing a mask?" Lieutenant Lewis asked curiously, "Does it feel comfortable? Should I wear it too?"
"I forgot to take this off." Just as Ren was about to remove his mask, one of his clones suddenly flew toward him, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
Right after he landed on the ground, his clone spoke, "Fifty soldiers of Nafield City are approaching."
"How strong are they?" Ren inquired.
Drawn by the unfolding conversation, General Viviana and the other soldiers gathered around to listen.
"Three Master rank warrior, two 3-star mages and the rest are Elite rank warrior and 2-star mages." His clone responded,
When Ren was about to say something, another clone descended from the sky. "Seventy soldiers from Icria City are making their way here."
"Damn it!" Lieutenant Lewis cursed under his breath.
’What should we do now? We only have eight people now, so we can’t stop them.’
The soldiers of Nightshire City had yet to arrive because the distance from Nightshire City to the Mana Crystal Mine was farther than the distance from Icria City and Nafield City to the mine.
When Ren noticed Lieutenant Lewis’ tense expression, he tapped his right shoulder and smiled softly, "Relax. I can take care of them."
"What?!" Lieutenant Lewis said in surprise.
"There may be a lot of them, but most of them are only at Elite rank and 2-star, so it’s not a problem for me." as long as there was no Grandmaster rank warrior or 4-star mage, Ren believed he could deal with them, even if all of them were Master rank warriors.
"No, we will fight alongside you," General Viviana declared.
"That’s right. We will defend this mine together." Captain Alice added.
They were also citizens of Nightshire City, so they would not let him fight their enemies alone.
"Alright." Ren didn’t stop them and only nodded his head.
Meanwhile, several kilometers away from the Mana Crystal Mine, the soldiers of Nafield City marched forward at a steady pace as if the mine was of no great significance to them.
Some of them even chatted and laughed happily.
If someone saw them, that person would be surprised because they looked like soldiers returning from the battlefield, not advancing toward it.
"Lieutenant Charles, why did the city lord only send fifty people? Isn’t the Mana Crystal Mine an incredibly valuable asset?" a red-haired soldier named Cory asked curiously.
"There are two reasons for this." Lieutenant Charles raised two fingers. "First, our mission is to rescue Captain Elias and his team. Second, we are here to observe the situation."
"So, we are not here to be assigned to kill people from Nightshire City and Icria City?" Cory threw another question at Lieutenant Charles.
"It depends on the situation." after answering his question, Lieutenant Charles pointed his finger at the bird above them. "Do you see that bird?"
Cory immediately lifted his head to look at the white bird above them.
"General Louis is using his magic to observe the situation through that bird’s eyes," Lieutenant Charles explained. "Right now, the higher-ups and the city lord are watching us from our base. I’m sure the people of Icria City are doing the same."
"I see." Cory finally knew why their city lord only sent fifty people to the mine.
Fifty minutes later, they finally reached their destination.
"People of Nightshire City?" the soldiers of Nafield City were startled when they saw Captain Alice and the others.
"Why are you guarding the cave? Where are Captain Elias and the others?" Lieutenant Charles inquired.
Instead of answering, Lieutenant Lewis asked, "Why? Do you want to meet them?"
"Just tell us, you damn Nightshire scum!" one of the soldiers roared angrily.
Ren stepped forward and spoke, "I’ve sent them to underworld. If you want to meet them so badly, I don’t mind sending you to the underworld too."
"You killed them?!" Lieutenant Charles was shaking with anger.
"Lieutenant, let’s just kill them!" Cory wanted to avenge their captain, so he suggested they attack Ren and his group.
"That’s right, Lieutenant. They must pay for what they’ve done!"
"Blood for blood! They have killed our captain, so we must kill them!"
"I agree! We can’t let them get away with this!"
One by one, the soldiers of Nafield City erupted in anger, their shouts rising like a battle cry, demanding vengeance.
"Come here. I will send you to meet your captain in the underworld." Ren said calmly as if he was only facing fifty children, not awakeners.
The anger within him grew bigger when Lieutenant Charles saw Ren’s behavior because it looked like they were nothing in his eyes.
"You killed our captain, so you must die!" Lieutenant Charles said with a cold voice. "Kill them! Show them the consequences of killing the soldiers of Nafield City!"
"Kill them!"
"Massacre them!"
The soldiers of Nafield City rushed toward Ren and his group together.
