The Mysterious Black Magician

Before the enemy could collide at him, Yman let himself fall below, because of this, he evaded and avoided the head-on collision at the right time.

After the expected collision did not happen, the enemy had lost in thought for his surprise, which led to losing his focus.

On the contrary, Yman took advantage of it and threw his daggers overhead to where the transport bird was hovering. It then hit squarely at the bird's neck and body, which caused it to lose its balance, and fell towards the ground together with the rider.

He heaved a sigh, then turned his eyes around him, and saw the retreating figures of the other enemies. They were riding in tandem and rapidly flew towards the east side of the city.

Yman had a surprised face when he saw the person who fell before was able to escape his death.

"Looks like he has the devil's luck," he mumbled then decided to let them be.

He darted his gaze again and saw a Hell Chaser bird orbiting in one of the buildings around. He wondered why this bird did not choose to escape, but in his mind, he thought, it was probably because of the bird's nature.

To be honest, most transport birds have a timid, docile, and friendly nature.

Without wasting time, he kicked in the air and dashed towards the riderless transport bird.

His breaths were a little bit off, and he felt his stamina was almost at the limit. Modifying a skill was stressful. He needed an exceptional talent in concentration and mana control to achieve the results he wanted.

In a few seconds, he leaped and landed on top of it. The jolt of impact startled the bird, and a low growl escaped from it, but Yman did not mind it.

"And now, how to drive this?" He muttered to himself and scanned the bird.

He saw a rope tied from its beak to the back. Being a first-timer, he had no idea how to handle this thing.

"Hm, anyhow, it's easier to learn by experiencing it to yourself," He said as he picked the rope and positioned himself -- sitting on its back, imitating someone who rode on a horse.

The bird seemed to be puzzled to where this pilot wanted to go as he was hoisting the rope randomly.

The video already cut-off after everyone left the area.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the hill, four transport birds were racing.

A chilling feeling of bad premonition tickled from his back. Jun glanced behind just to see his face shortly turned cold. "Dodge!" He shouted.

Without looking behind, Sierra skillfully controlled the bird to drift on her left. A hissing reached her ears; a spear-like azur light passed before her face.

Bang!

The unlucky trees below turned into smithereens.

Without decreasing the speeds, Sierra and Jun swerved left and right to avoid the follow-up attacks.

Both frowned from the relentless attacks; their visions started to become unsteady.

"This is bad, I have no idea why they had to be persistent in chasing after us," Jun weakly grumbled, while trying to evade all the spear-like magical magical attacks that fired at them.

<Jun, I can't go on any longer; I must go into a deep hibernation mode.> Suddenly, his deity voiced out.

He nodded and said his thanks; his cat-looking deity went inside his clothes and curved into a ball.

Yet a wind blade magical attack almost hit him.

"Idiot! Are you trying to kill them?" The leader of the enemy shouted.

"Ah? Aren't you trying to shoot them down, boss?" Said his comrade in puzzlement, who uses wind element magic.

"What you! Of course not, I'm just scaring and tiring them out by forcing them to evade!" The leader explained.

"Ah! So that's the reason why up until now your attacks are all missing, boss?"

"Of course! Why? Did you think I had a bad aim, huh? If I wanted them dead, they had already turned into a piece of s**t by now!"

"No, I would never think bad of you, boss. You are certainly the man who stood like the mountain, boss. Your wittiness knows no bounds! HEHE, I will do as you do, boss! Please, forgive this incompetent fool," His comrade excitedly proclaimed.

"Don't mind it. You are still growing and learning. What's more important is that you understand now why my attacks didn't hit them," the leader said in a dignified manner — crossed his arms and raised a brow.

However, inside his mind, 'Damn it! Why couldn't I hit those fools? Not good. This idiot with me has better accuracy than me.

I will lose my face if they find out that I have pitiable accuracy!!!

If only I had been practicing my shooting skill until now, this predicament of mine would never happen. If this idiot beside me will be the first to hit those fools, my pride as the leader can't take it!'

He shouted in panic inside his head.

"Ahem! In any case, we must capture them before they reach the peak of this hill." He added, then sped up his flight.

"Okay, boss!"

All of them were climbing the hill while flying parallel to it, a little above the trees.

Every second, the distance between them had abridged tremendously.

"Hehe, boss, let's hit their birds!"

"Okay, but let me handle it!" Replied the leader. His arms immediately envelope by azur brilliance.

Jun and Sierra shuddered at their fate.

The leader of the enemy pointed his palm towards Jun's bird. At this distance of about 3 meters away from his target, he believed that he could hit it.

Jun tried to confuse the enemy by flying in a zigzag. But he failed to lose the enemy's track.

The leaders were gathering more brilliance until to the point that he needed to fire.

A figure leaped from the tree branch and brandished a weapon to him.

The enemy was startled but he managed to block the attack.

Ting! A piercing noise invaded their ears when their weapons clashed.

If not because of his quicker reaction time, he was particular that his head would already fly away by now. Though, because of the sudden attack, he lost his balance and fell on the grounds.

The ambusher thought that his back would hit on the tree branch as he fell; however, he concisely flipped his body, and his foot landed on it.

He glanced in front of him and saw an exquisite lady. His mouth extended into a grin.

"Hehe, what a stroke of luck." He mumbled.

Almina stood at the opposite tree from the enemy, wearing a cold face and disgust expression towards the lascivious smile of the enemy.

Without wasting time, she sent flame slashed using her elemental swords.

The leader of the enemy extended its hand in front of him and created a barrier.

The flaming slash hit the barrier and exploded

"Hehe, what a sweet girl. I like it!" The leader shouted.

After hearing his ecstatic voice, without waiting for the smokes to dissipate, Almina rapidly retreated.

"This person was at a high level!' She thought. Then she noticed other enemies swirling up above the trees and rode on a bird.

"Boss?!" His comrades called out. "What a beauty!" He exclaimed after noticing Almina. Soon he jumped off of the bird and landed beside his boss.

Jun glanced behind and saw the enemy confronted by a beautiful girl. The enemy's leader rushed towards the retreating figure of the girl. In just an instant, he already caught up behind her.

The enemy extended his hand to grab on the girl's back with a wicked smile.

Jun grimaced.

But his grasp only caught an empty air when the girl suddenly dove and rotated her body to 180 degrees while horizontally brandishing her flaming sword.

The leader was able to backstep and evaded Almina's sudden attack.

"Come at us, baby!" From above her, the other enemy leaped in the air and tried to reach her while smiling like a maniac.

She instantly kicked the ground and backstepped. However, Almina's foot tripped on a stone and lost her balance. The enemy broke into a toothy grin, seeing her about to fall.

His hand came closer to her.

Yet,

"Ugh!" He felt an impact from the side of his face. His face twitched in pain; he was sent and bumped on the three.

A shield was thrown onto him by Kesha.

"Almina!"

"Thank you, Kesha," she said her thanks without glancing at her, she hastily took her ground and readied herself, because the enemy's leader was rushing towards her again; he looked like a hungry beast.

Jun shook his head towards Sierra, who wanted to help. They barely can move, and their resonance had long since been canceled.

What they needed to do now was to reach the hospital and ask for backups for those girls.

Jun and Sierra turned their back and continued flying towards the hospital.

"Kesha, run!" Almina shouted after seeing the other person rushed towards her.

However, Kesha was not the speed type magician.

"Come to me, darling, hahaha!" He laughed and jumped above her while spreading his hand.

Kesha felt a chill, seeing him.

On the other hand,

Ting, ting, ting!

"Hey, babe, let's enjoy ourselves," The leader teased her while raining sword attacks at Almina.

Almina tried to parry his attacks, but the enemy's level was twice higher than hers. Even if she used some of her advanced abilities, it was still not enough.

She used her Rapid Leap to distance herself, but the enemy still managed to catch up on her with his speed alone.

He was never even using his full strength yet.

A moment later, Almina finds herself in the same situation as Kesha. The enemy in front of her was raising his sword overhead while saying, "Hehe, let's see what is inside that dress," the leader said, licking his lips.

Not far from her, the enemy who went after Kesha was about to grab her.

Then,

"Gotcha! Hehe," the enemy tightly hugged as he sent kisses. But suddenly, he felt weird, why does this beauty rough and solid? Not the expected smooth skin. He opened his eyes just to see he was hugging a tree trunk.

"What the heck!" He shouted in his mind.

Almina's face grimaced at the blade of the sword brandished rapidly from above towards her.

She subconsciously closed her eyes and thought, "Am I going to die here? So, those many years of training were just for naught? After all these years, I'm still that weak girl from before. Afraid of the dark, I wanted to see him. I wanted that smile who woke me up from that time. Yman!"

She unconsciously shouted his name.

In the next second,

Shing!

She heard a slashing sound, but she didn't feel any pain.

Almina slowly opened his eyes, just to see the enemy lost its hand. And seemingly at the back of that enemy was that person. The mysterious black magician who fought to these high-level enemies in the monitor.

Inside the hood, under those black glasses, Almina could see-through his eyes were staring at her puzzled and surprised.
