Mercenary - 57 Chapter 57- Premonition

Dubs rolled his eyes at the arrogance of the two who remained at a close distance.

“They don’t think I have the magical power to harm them from this distance? Or perhaps they have faith that their leader will prevent anything from reaching them.”

Dubs smiled sinisterly. “Perhaps I should prove them wrong with a little test…”

Hearing Alt’s voice in his head, Dubs hesitated for a moment.

“Calm down, Dubs. If you hit those two who is to say that they won’t join the fray themselves? Perhaps that was their plan all along for all we know. Its possible that they even plan on joining if it looks like their leader will lose, and our allies would stand no chance against either of them.”

The situation was indeed explosive. A single wrong move would lead to the capture of Dubs and all the members of the council.

The most irritating thing, however, was that a corporal had such strength. Physical strength greater than even Dubs’ current power, for Agility, Power, and Defense.

Along with this, this Corporal in particular had an outstanding 57.3% control over Air magic, and 25.4% control over Light magic.

A formidable enemy to be certain, one who would be able to single handedly take down the empire.

On top of that, his soldiers were just below him at around 10 for their physical stats, and averaging at around 30% control for their Air magic control, and 10% for their light magic control.

“This surfacers guild produces skilled magicians like an assembly line… intriguing! I must find out more about this…”, Dubs thought.

Taking a stance, Dubs covered himself in dark energy which concealed himself. He moved about swiftly, and the corporal seemed to follow Dubs with his eyes as he approached.

“Lets take a little test drive…”, Dubs thought, as he slashed where the mans right kidney would be.

The man chopped Dubs dagged out of his hand, and it flew down to the ground before Dubs reached the mans armor.

The mans hand was covered in a barrier of air magic, swirling about.

“Your speed it not bad, but it is a pity that you had me for an opponent”, the Corporal stated.

Dubs jumped back, unable to retrieve his dagger.

“I underestimated him… looks like I will have to fight with magic from now on.”

The man began to chant his own spell, raising his sword. A burst of air surrounded it, and he chanted out [Swirling Storm Blade].

The man then chanted once more, and streaks of light engulfed his feet and arms, creating yellow vein like patterns. [Electromagnetic enhancement!]

The mans movements sped up, as he charged towards Dubs, who was still on the retreat.

“This is bad news, Dubs! He used light magic to enhance his physical abilities! At this rate, his Agility has gone up to 17 and his strength has increased to 16! If we don’t take this oppurtunity to attack him, we will lose this battle!”, Alt exclaimed.

While running back, Dubs heeded the words and formed a sphere of darkness energy. The energy cloaking Dubs gathered in the air and combined with energy that emerged from the ground to form the high velocity- rotating sphere.

Dubs pressed the sphere with the entirity of his power, and the rotation increased to the point where one would have difficulty making it out.

“I didn’t want to have to kill this man just yet, but so be it… He was the type to use others to increase his status anyways.”, Dubs thought with a grin on his face as he was about to fire the ball of energy at his enemy.

Suddenly, Dubs heard a female voice in his head.

“If you lose here and allow yourself to be taken in, I will show you something interesting, and further the progress of your empire.”, the voice stated.

In a split second, Dubs made a decision.

“It looks like I’m going to be winging it from start to finish.”

The ball of energy flew off, slightly off direction, purposely missing the corporal, who appeared before Dubs and slashed at his chest with his swirling sword.

Dubs fell unconscious, and awoke later in a carriage next to all the council members, who had all been gagged and tied up, along with Dubs.
