Chapter 273: Chapter 273
“A potion?” General Ludwig opened the small bottle. “Yeah, courtesy of Principal Helga. It should make you feel better soon”, the armoured woman said as she pointed her hands at General Ludwig. Then, light green mana particles surrounded the armoured woman before she softly chanted, “Heal.” Then, the light green mana particles moved towards General Ludwig. Then, the light green mana particles inserted themselves inside General Ludwig, creating a soft, light green glow. General Ludwig’s outer wounds were healing slowly after that. Then, General Ludwig immediately chugged the small bottle in his hand. After that, General Ludwig’s wounds healed rapidly, and the vigour in his eyes returned. “Whoa, what is in that bottle? How can it work so fast?” General Ludwig pondered.
“That’s an 8th Circle Mage for you”, the armoured woman said with a smile. “Haha”, General Ludwig chuckled in response. Suddenly, however, the armoured woman and General Ludwig heard footsteps approaching them. Then, as the smoke dissipated, it revealed the dead body of the slightly large man with a curly moustache alongside a broken green gauntlet by his side. The man in a white cloak and a white mask was clutching his whole body as he approached the armoured woman and General Ludwig slowly. The man in a white cloak and a white mask glared at the armoured woman and General Ludwig with hatred in his eyes as he walked closer and closer to the armoured woman and General Ludwig.
“You bastard! You fucking bastard! You two ruined my plan! You will pay for this!” the man in a white cloak and a white mask threatened. “Ha! What can you do? You are heavily injured”, General Ludwig provoked. “You!” the man in a white cloak and a white mask gritted his teeth. “Your plan is over. Now, come with us peacefully or else”, the armoured woman said with an authoritative tone. “Hah”, the man in a white cloak and a white mask scoffed, “What? Do you think I will let myself be captured by the likes of you?” he barked. “I’d rather die than do that”, the man in a white cloak and a white mask softly said before his eyes flashed with determination.
After that, the man in a white cloak and a white mask surrounded himself with white-coloured mana. “Die!” the man in a white cloak and a white mask leapt toward the armoured woman and General Ludwig. “Death it is then”, General Ludwig sighed before holding his trident high. After that, General Ludwig flared up his red-coloured aura before charging straight at the man in a white cloak and a white mask. With a swift move from General Ludwig, he cleaved the man in a white cloak and a white mask in two. As the man in a white cloak and a white mask was dying on the floor, General Ludwig and the armoured woman approached him slowly.
When they were near, however, they immediately frowned. “Haha, what’s wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost”, the man in a white cloak and a white mask laughed eerily before he closed his eyes forever. “What the hell is he?” General Ludwig exclaimed with slight fear in his voice when he saw that the man in a white cloak and a white mask was made of gears and metals. “An automaton?” the armoured woman slightly raised her eyebrows. “You know what this is?” General Ludwig asked. “Kind of. An automaton is a machine that was made to be like a human. It was all the rage back then in the magical community. However, a few years ago, the sole company responsible for making them suddenly stopped their production, and after that, automaton became a rarity, something that the rich collected”, the armoured woman explained.
“But this is strange….” The armoured woman rubbed her chin. “Hmm? What is it?” General Ludwig frowned. “I never seen or heard an automaton this advanced. Usually, an automaton was like a doll, and the most advanced one was only capable of doing menial tasks. I had never heard of an automaton that could express itself like a human. Even more so the one that was capable of using spells”, the armoured woman said with a grim tone. “We better report this to Evan and Angelica. I have a feeling that this is way bigger than what it actually is”, General Ludwig said. The armoured woman nodded, “Yeah, I agree.” After that, General Ludwig and the armoured woman proceeded to withdraw from that place and rendezvous with the armoured woman’s forces.

A few minutes ago, while the armoured woman and General Ludwig were facing the man in a white cloak and a white mask, Sydney, Alexandro and Duncan were still proceeding to deal with the mysterious man in black and the creature known as the Chimera. The creature known as the Chimera was on its last leg. Two of its arms were cut off, while one of its back legs was also cut off. The creature known as the Chimera now only had one eye as the other one was plucked off by Duncan and Alexandro working together. Then, the creature known as the Chimera let out a deafening roar, causing the space around it to tremble. “Hah, hah, hah”, Duncan panted, “My old age had finally shown itself. Just this much, and I’m already tired”, Duncan said.
“Well, it’s not your old age. That creature is just too strong”, Alexandro quipped. “You are partially right. However, it looks like we are near the end”, Duncan said as he raised his head towards the Chimera. “Yeah. One final push, Mr Duncan. You still have some for that?” Alexandro asked with a grin. “Of course. I may be old, but I’m not finished yet”, Duncan said before flaring up his cyan-coloured aura, “Let’s go, guild master!” Meanwhile, Sydney was still fighting with the mysterious man in a full black outfit. Sydney’s body was full of wounds; however, the mysterious man in a full black outfit was in a way worse situation. “You bitch, you damn bitch! How dare you make me like this!?” the mysterious man in a full black outfit yelled out loud.
“We are fighting to the death, and you expect to walk away unscathed? You are delusional”, Sydney said while shrugging her shoulders. “You, you, you—” the mysterious man in a full black outfit pointed at Sydney with indignation before gritting his teeth. “I promise you, you will pay for this!” then, the mysterious man in a full black outfit conjured another yellow-coloured spear in his hand. After that, the mysterious man in a full black outfit threw the yellow-coloured spear behind Sydney. “Hah, that won’t work the second time”, Sydney scoffed. However, after that, the mysterious man in a full black outfit conjured another yellow-coloured spear before throwing it again toward the right side of Sydney. Then, the mysterious man in a full black outfit conjured another yellow-coloured spear before throwing it again toward the left side of Sydney.
Finally, the mysterious man in a full black outfit conjured another yellow-coloured spear and threw it right in front of Sydney. “What is this?” Sydney furrowed her eyebrows. “Your funeral”, the mysterious man in a full black outfit smirked before conjuring another yellow-coloured spear. After that, the mysterious man in a full black outfit suddenly disappeared. Sydney squinted her eyes as she focused her attention on her surroundings. Then, suddenly, the mysterious man in a full black outfit appeared behind Sydney. He stabbed his yellow-coloured spear to where he appeared before conjuring it again. Although all of that seemed long, the mysterious man in a full black outfit only did that in a split second.
Then, the mysterious man in a full black outfit delivered a teleporting barrage of attacks toward Sydney. However, Sydney was able to mostly block all of the mysterious man’s barrage of attacks. After a while, the mysterious man in a full black outfit’s expression turned ugly as he could not land a single clean hit on Sydney. “You bitch! Just die already!” the mysterious man in a full black outfit screamed with rage. Sydney let out a mocking grin before shaking her head, “Is this all you’ve got? Then, you disappointed me.” After that, Sydney coated her blade with her yellow-coloured aura before destroying the mysterious man in a full black outfit’s yellow-coloured spears in a single swipe.
“This bore me”, Sydney softly said before disappearing from her spot and instantly reappearing right before the mysterious man in a full black outfit. “Urgh”, the mysterious man in a full black outfit splurted out blood as Sydney’s blade was stabbed deep inside of his body. “You… Bitch…,” the mysterious man in a full black outfit cursed for the last time before taking his last breath. After that, Sydney turned her head behind her and saw that Alexandro and Duncan were in the sky, each flaring up their aura to the maximum. She also saw that the creature known as the Chimera was slumped on the ground, with all of its legs gone. “Die!” Alexandro and Duncan shouted all at the same time as Alexandro’s purple-coloured aura and Duncan’s cyan-coloured aura combined and created a massive aura blast towards the Chimera.
The creature known as the Chimera roared as it was engulfed by Alexandro and Duncan’s joint attack, which was the massive aura blast.
