Chapter 246 Falling Out
“It’s Blood Rogue from the Thousand Meddling Hands! The S ranked fugitive from Nightless City! Though I have no clue why you’re helping us, I still want to thank you!”
The leader of the Four Seasons Corps bowed, and then slashed his crimson longsword at Leylin.
“I’ve thanked you as I should have. Now, leave the prisoners in your possession behind! In return, I will let you go…”
Seeing the leader acting this righteous, Leylin was slightly confused. “Are you stupid? Do you think I’m so easily bullied?”
He guessed that this leader was rather egoistic, though it might have had to do with Leylin concealing his strength. Most people only knew that Blood Rogue was a semi-converted Magus, and were still unaware that he had advanced to a peak rank 1 Magus.
At times like this, incorrect information could cost lives!
“Well then, I apologise!” The leader spoke unenthusiastically, a huge wave of apparitions of sharp swords appearing from the longsword. Like a waterfall, they charged towards Leylin.
“Move! 2nd spell formation!” The leader shouted as he attacked.
With his yell, the Magi of the Four Seasons Corps seemed to have received some order, and other than the four Magi protecting Wade, the other members rushed him.
*Tss tss!* Thorny plants constantly grew from their crimson armour.
The vines that appeared from the armour seemed to have self-awareness, grouping together, and forming a green giant that was about five metres tall.
This green giant formed from plants was full of thorns, and sinister black lines filled its body. At the area where its eyes were meant to be, there were two strange purple flowers.
“Awooooo!” The green giant snarled, opening its large hand and grabbing towards Leylin.
“Is their ignorance to the truth causing them to be so fearless?”
Leylin glanced at the leader of the Four Seasons Corps with a pitying look. Next, a black ring emerged from under his feet, climbing up his robes and seemingly draping black armour on his body.
*Cling clang! Cling clang!*
Afterimages of red swords struck the black armour, sparks flying everywhere as they produced the immense sounds of a metal sword and armour crashing against each other.
The apparitions of the crimson sword kept falling apart, but the layer of black armour on Leylin’s body became increasingly thick, to the point that it began to produce multiple black tendrils.
“This is bad! That level of strength…” The leader’s eyes widened and he immediately thought to warn his subordinates, but it was much too late.
*Whoosh!* Before the green giant’s massive thorny palm had reached its destination, the surrounding air fluctuated and a powerful air stream was generated, blowing so hard that the furniture in the office was strewn apart.
“You don’t know when to stop!” While facing this green giant’s huge palm, Leylin raised his right hand clad in a black gauntlet, and gently gestured downwards.
From an outsider’s point of view, the situation right now was not the least bit balanced. Leylin was like a child in front of the giant, and yet he had raised his slender arm to meet the giant’s palm.
However, the green giant seemed to feel extremely threatened and kept roaring, the green rays of light in its hand constantly flickering as its speed increased by three times.
*Bang!*
Finally, Leylin’s little fist met with the giant’s fist that was the size of a water jar, a wave of immense vibrations spreading out in all directions.
The surrounding air seemed to distort, and then all went back to normal.
*Ka-cha! Ka-cha!*
One after another, the thorns broke off of and fell from the large hand. This disintegration quickly reached the entire arm, and eventually the large body of the giant.
*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Thick plant roots and vines slid off the body of the giant, black cracks constantly extending until it was on the verge of tearing the body of the giant apart!
*Bang!* Finally, after a rumbling loud noise, the green giant’s body was broken down into tiny pieces that flew in all directions.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The massive shockwave created extended miraculously to the bodies of the Four Seasons Corps’ members that were surrounding Leylin.
The crimson armour on their bodies shook, and then broke apart.
The Magi completely paled and retreated a few steps, some of them coughing up large amounts of blood.
“Peak rank 1 Magus! You’ve already reached the peak of rank 1!”
The leader of the Four Seasons Corps stared fixedly at Leylin’s mask, as if trying to carve his appearance into his memory.
In a situation where rank 2 Magi seldom appeared, peak rank 1 Magi were the most powerful beings in the south coast. The rise in the power of Blood Rogue was much too fast and too astonishing; this leader definitely could not let his guard down.
At this moment, fear was apparent in the leader’s gaze.
