Chapter 108

"Roar!"

"Caw!"

In a vast and desolate wilderness, monsters that looked like ogres let out deafening roars as they charged at a convoy that had been forced to a halt, instantly surrounding it.

Baylon sat on the back of her horse, her sword unsheathed. However, she didn't participate in the battle, and instead gave orders to the people around her.

"The vanguard will be the Knights. Stop the Ogres and don't let them charge into the defensive circle. Adventurers will be in charge of guerrilla warfare and annihilation. Coordinate well with the Knights at the vanguard. Mages, stand down and prepare your spells!"

Baylon commanded the people around her to face the oncoming Ogres. Her voice was incomparably calm.

Thanks to this, even though the attack was sudden, they weren't caught off guard as they had the Enemy Sense skill to warn them. They followed Baylon's instructions and spread out into a perfect defensive circle, surrounding the convoy in the middle. While protecting them, they also faced the Ogres that were charging at them.

Of course, Shien and the others were among them.

"Melica, start preparing your magic as well."

Vivian had already set up her shield and stood in front of everyone. It could even be said that she was standing in front of the entire convoy, taking the lead in resisting the Ogres' attack.

"Yes!"

Melica responded immediately. Under Vivian's protection, she raised her staff, closed her eyes, and started chanting a spell.

Tierre and Lumia, on the other hand, had already rushed out.

"Heya!"

Lumia let out an adorable cry, but her attacks were far from that. She swung her slender fists that were equipped with gauntlets, and the Ogres that were above level 30 were sent flying one after another. They flew into the air exaggeratedly before crashing to the ground and splattering blood everywhere.

"Hindrance!"

Tierre spoke coldly. Her petite figure transformed into a gust of black wind and blew forward. Her twin blades slashed through the air, bringing with them rays of chilling light. Before the charging Ogres could react, their bodies were cruelly sliced into countless pieces the moment they came into contact with the chilling light.

Just like that, everyone in Vivian's party charged in front of everyone as if they were leading the charge, accomplishing a glorious battle result.

"Aiyaya, we really can't compare to those little girls."

Arliss watched this scene from behind. He held a heavy battle axe in his hand as he cleaved apart an Ogre that pounced at him. He looked in the direction of Vivian and the others and sighed in admiration.

"So … so powerful …"

Leon was also holding a sword, but he didn't participate in the battle. His expression was stiff as he watched the achievements of Vivian's team. His soft voice was filled with envy.

"It's alright, Lord Leon." Eudilis took out a magic tool that looked like an orb and comforted Leon, "I will protect Lord Leon. You don't need to fight by yourself."

"Of course I believe in you, Lord Leon. You don't have to fight personally." "Thank you, Udelis." Leon's face was a little gloomy, but he quickly recovered. He gave Udelis a handsome smile and said warmly, "Of course I believe in you, because you are my true love."

"Lord Leon ~ ~ ~" Udelis couldn't help but let out a happy cry, her eyes shining with love.

"It's just that …" Leon was still smiling at Eudilis, but he glanced in the direction of Vivian and the others, and muttered in a deep voice, "They're really doing too well. If I could have sex with them, that would be the best situation for me …"

Leon thought to himself.

To Leon, who hoped to get help from women, Vivian, Tierre, Merica, and even Lumia were the ones he wanted to pursue the most. He had tried to get in touch with them more than once, but he failed because he didn't have the chance to.

After all, Leon spent most of his time with women who were helpful to him every day. Most of the commissions he accepted were from women who wanted to give him money. Since that was the case, Leon didn't have many chances to leave Lamagegion. Most of the commissions he accepted could be completed in the town, unlike Vivian's team. They would take a few days at a time, and they had to leave the town every time. That was why they didn't have much contact.

"This is a good opportunity."

Leon made up his mind to take advantage of this mission to get closer to the girls in Vivian's team.

"Although I feel sorry for Margray, I can't help it. They don't like you, young master."

Leon looked in Margray's direction sympathetically.

In Leon's team, Margray was the only one with the ability to charge and break through enemy lines.

So, as soon as the battle began, Margret charged out on his own.

"Die! Die! Die! "

Margray violently and ruthlessly chopped off the heads of the Ogres. His body was already covered in blood, and his gaze and expression became extremely dangerous.

Obviously, this Young Master was preparing to vent the grievances he had suffered a while ago.

Like this, Margret cast his murderous gaze in one direction.

Over there, Sean was actually walking at the very front.

However, Shien didn't fight the Ogres face to face. He didn't even raise his weapon. Instead, he smiled at the Ogres charging at him, holding a tattered piece of parchment in his hand.

Then, Shien's lips moved a few times, and an astonishing wave of Mana surged out like an erupting volcano. It turned into raging flames and blew up a large group of Ogres.

The explosion was shocking in both momentum and power. It wasn't inferior to a high-level spell cast by a high-level Magician. Not only did it blow up countless Ogres, it also blew up the surrounding land, scorching it black.

The horrifying scene made Margray envious and resentful.

If it weren't for the magic tool to protect himself, Margray would have looked for Sean and caused trouble for him.

Although he also had the magical tool, he was different from Shien, who could use it as he pleased. Most people, including Baylon, could not fully familiarize themselves with the use of the magical tool. They could only successfully use it when Shien was guiding them. If Shien wasn't around, they wouldn't be able to use it no matter what.

To be honest, even Baylon didn't expect things to turn out this way.

Now, Baylon was already worried about what they should do if the people sent by the Old Demons attacked and they still couldn't use this magic tool as they wished.

Margray was very dissatisfied with this situation.

"It's as if only that guy is special. Without that magical tool, that guy is nothing!"

Margray gritted his teeth and vented all his resentment on the Ogres in front of him.

On the other hand, Shien seemed to be on an outing. He stepped on the scorched land and slowly walked forward. While observing his surroundings, he also looked at his current level.

— Lv.24

Yes.

Shien leveled up again.

It had been ten days since he set off from Lamigion. The many battles he had encountered and the training he had done to learn various skills and magic had finally turned into practical gains, allowing Shien to level up.

"When are those fellows from the Old Demon Clan coming?"

Shien couldn't wait.
