Physics The Greatest Magic - Chapter 311

They continued to hastily descend down the mountains as they fought off any monsters which would dare to stand on their path. The wariness and tension they had around John had also significantly decreased as they spent more and more time with him.

The frosty snow was ever so cold as it landed on their heads, creating a small glaze of pure white. It was at times like these where the fur robe would be useful to all.

“Thank god, I paid for a fire enchantment on my robe… It’s so cold…” Muttered Satire as she shivered

Shara nodded in agreement upon hearing this, which was difficult for satire to understand as Shara was using a simple cloak with no fur, she was surprised Shara hadn’t made a single complaint about the cold.

“Ha ha, why do that? It’s a waste of money. Just get a simple robe.” Said Hexo

‘You’re one to talk…’ Thought Satire as she frowned at him

“Finally, someone understands!” Said The Guild Master as he smiled at Hexo

‘Hexo is one thing… but how the hell aren’t you cold?’ Satire wondered as she stared at the Guild master

Hexo wore an open short sleeve jacket sort of Armour, where as the guild master wore shorts and a simple shirt.

“The saying goes, great minds think alike!” Stated Hexo as he smiled back

He then looked over at John and noticed that he was being to being expressionless. Seeing this, Hexo wondered what was going on inside of his mind, he couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

‘So he’s not the type to initiate a conversation on his own… But he’s also not ignorant…’

“Hey… Bro, about that thing you said earlier-” Said Hexo

In that instant, before he could finish, Hexo shut his mouth as he noticed a dark snow flake go right by his eye. Confused, he looked up to see what it was and his eyes widened.

The others who also noticed this, looked up, and they too couldn’t believe their eyes. The snowflakes which were once white, had somehow turned Pitch-black.

“What is-”

Satire was interrupted by Hexo who suddenly shouted

“The village…!?”

Their attention was diverted from the dark snow as they looked ahead, doing so only increased the already high tension around them as they noticed smoke coming off in the direction of the village.

“Dark magic…! What’s going on!?”

Something bad was going on in the village and they could all feel it.

Hexo clenched his fist upon seeing this before suddenly running off, straight towards the village at full speed.

“Wait!” Satire shouted

But it was too late, Hexo had already started running. Splitting up right now was a bad idea, but they had no choice but to hurry. Hexo knew that he was the fastest so he ran off first, leaving the group behind.

“I’LL MEET YOU THERE!!” Shouted Hexo before disappearing into the trees.

Upon seeing this, they all, except for John, turned to the guild master waiting for instructions. John seemed to be looking for something in the direction of the village, but no on knew what it was. He was interrupted by the guild master who suddenly called out to all of them.

“Everyone listen in, we don’t have time to waste.” Said The Guild Master

As john turned to the guild master, he felt the tension rise in the air, along with a surge of blood l.u.s.t. The others also felt it. It was coming from the guild master.

“I’ve gotten a little rusty, but I’m still a former S-Rank and the leader of the Snow Guild, Fenri. The audacity to attack the village under my protection while I’m gone…”

Everyone was speechless. The guild master, who always made Jokes and was rarely seen being serious, now had an expression which sent chills down their spine. A mix of hate, anger and blood l.u.s.t aimed at whatever was attacking the village.

The guild master then turned to John before asking “John… Right? You have any transportation spells?” and upon hearing this, John nodded.

“Good… Then, I’m counting on you to take them there, Don’t worry, you and everyone here will be awarded appropriately if you participate in helping the village. But just like any quest, the choice is up to you.” Said the Guild master as he looked in the direction of the city.

“Obviously, we’re doing it.” Said Satire

Shera and the Bright sword nodded in agreement and John also did so, while standing in between them.

“More importantly, how are you going to make it to the city?” Satire asked

“Don’t worry, I’ll be just fine. Sacred Treasure First Form: Crimson Ice Armour.” Said the Guild Master with a smile

Suddenly, the temperature in the surrounding area, got warmer and warmer as steam began to form around the guild master. However, what happened after, left everyone confused.

‘The steam… Froze…?’ Satire wondered

Once his body was fully covered, the guild master’s large physique began to slightly shrink, as if it was being compressed from the inside.

Everyone watched with surprise as a smile could be seen in the bright sword’s face.

“So you’re finally getting serious…” He muttered

Before the Guild Master’s Form could be completed, he suddenly disappeared. A split second after, the trees ahead of them were frozen and the guild master was nowhere to be seen.

Everyone remained quiet as they watched what it meant to anger an S-Ranker, even if he was a former one. But by the time they even realized it, he was gone.

“We should get going now.” Said The bright sword as he looked over at John

And John who heard this, nodded in response.
