The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 200

“Attack!!” Einclar suddenly roared, charging at the bandits with his sword. His blade cut through the air, and a tide of energy burst forth, shocking the space and sweeping toward the bandits.

“Run!! Scale the walls, and don’t look back!” the other guards cried hoarsely, unleashing their strongest Combat Magic against the bandits.

Boom!

The bandit leader casually waved away Einclar’s mighty surge, leaving a shadow in his place. In an instant, he appeared before Einclar. His blade was falling swiftly, with no flourish but with astonishing speed.

Thwack! Before Einclar could react, his body was severed, blood spraying in a tragic arc, staining the dark night.

“Ahh!” The remaining nine guards, resigned to their fate, charged in a frenzy, swung swords, and lashed whips. Energy boiled over, and all struck at the bandits.

But compared to these bandits, they were far too weak.

Blood sprayed in all directions, painting the sky crimson. Nine of the Mallister family's guards were struck down almost simultaneously. Their once-believed formidable Combat Magic proved utterly ineffective against these peculiar bandits. Not even a ripple was caused amidst the turmoil.

The ladies of the Mallister household were shocked before they snapped to their senses. "Miss, run! Run!" The maids urged desperately, taking several steps forward to form a human barrier. Tears filled their eyes as they bravely faced the bandits.

Oda sobbed uncontrollably, but Helna clamped a hand over her mouth and forcefully pushed her away.

The women of the Mallister family had no time for goodbyes, let alone to grieve, as they scrambled to scale the wall.

Having dispatched the guards, the bandits laughed heartily and lunged toward the ladies.

Oda was the first to climb the stone wall, feeling desolate and in despair. Her mind went blank. But then...

Whoosh! A figure suddenly leaped onto the rampart, standing in front of her.

Oda instinctively looked up. A portly man was dressed in a black robe. His eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes seemed fierce.

More figures seemed to drop from the sky, appearing on the wall to either side of him. In an instant, the wall was filled with people, panting and sweating, but their eyes emanated a murderous intent as they took in the sight of the blood-soaked ground and the bodies.

"You are...?" Oda began to speak.

The women below quickly pulled her down, looking at the wall anxiously and fearfully. There were bandits here, too! They were surrounded.
