Chapter 178: Icria City Soldiers Arrive at the Mine

"Do you think we are afraid of you just because you have numbers?" Lieutenant Lewis retrieved his weapon from his space ring, followed by General Viviana and the others.

But when they were about to attack the soldiers of Nafield City, Ren raised his left hand, halting them in an instant.

"Don’t move. Let them attack us." Ren wanted to use the Golden Bell Divine Shield skill, so he stopped them from attacking their enemies.

Even though they were confused by his decision, they listened to him because they believed he would not lead them to their deaths.

"Die, you Nightshire bastards!"

"Your life ends here, you mongrel!"

"Go to the underworld and kneel before our captain, Nightshire scum!"

With fury blazing in their eyes, Lieutenant Charles’ subordinates rushed toward Ren and his group.

But before their attacks could reach Ren and his group, a massive golden bell materialized, shielding Ren’s group and reflecting the attacks back at the attackers.

"Aaaggghhh..." Agonized cries filled the air as Lieutenant Charles’ subordinates were struck by their own assaults.

Some of them were thrown into mid-air while the rest were crashed hard against trees and boulders.

They were caught off guard when their attacks rebounded, so they had no time to defend themselves.

Lieutenant Charles’ face twisted in shock when he saw his subordinates being flung in all directions.

He previously thought Ren and his group would die instantly because all of his subordinates attacked them at once.

However, the reality was different from what he expected.

Instead of dying at the hands of his subordinates, it was his own people who ended up injured.

Ren and his group hadn’t even moved an inch, as if his subordinates weren’t worthy of being their opponents.

"Damn it!" Lieutenant Charles gritted his teeth as he stared at Ren angrily.

"Wow! This is an amazing skill, Ren!" Lieutenant Lewis stated.

General Viviana and the others didn’t openly praise Ren’s skill like Lieutenant Lewis did, but the way they gazed at the massive golden bell made it clear that they were in awe of his power.

’So, this is the reason why he told us to stay still.’

They finally knew why Ren had instructed them not to attack the soldiers of Nafield City because he had a skill that could protect them and counterattack at the same time.

"You have made your move, so it’s my turn now." right after Ren’s voice faded, the sky twisted into a vortex of spiraling dark clouds.

Finger of Death skill!

Ren wanted to end the fight quickly, so he used one of his strongest skills.

Like every time he used his Divine-class skills, his enemies were gripped by terror at the sight of the giant golden finger.

Their will to fight crumbled in an instant, and their legs turned frail.

They had no magic or skill that could protect them from his attack, so they knew they would not survive.

"Aaaggghhh..." they screamed one last time before their lives came to an end.

"Alright! The problem has been solved." Ren deactivated his Golden Bell Divine Shield skill before finally approaching their corpses, taking their space rings.

’Hmm?’

He stopped picking up their space rings when he noticed the white bird above them.

’System, analyze that bird.’

Its behavior was suspicious, so he ordered his system to analyze it.

[Host, that bird is just an ordinary bird, but someone is using it to observe this place through its eyes.]

He turned to Lieutenant Lewis and said, "Lieutenant Lewis, please kill that white bird above us. Don’t let it run away."

Lieutenant Lewis, who understood everything, immediately retrieved his bow from his space ring and aimed at the bird.

’Do you think you can run away from me?’

He fired his arrow when the bird was trying to run away.

*Krriiikkkk...

His arrow transformed into a blazing phoenix, and just before striking the bird, it let out a piercing cry, reducing the bird to ashes.

"Do you think it’s from Nafield City or Icria City?" Captain Alice asked as she approached Lieutenant Lewis.

"I think it’s from Nafield City." Lieutenant Lewis thought this because the soldiers of Icria City had yet to arrive.

Captain Alice’s expression tightened. "Then this is not good because they will immediately send more troops."

"Let’s hope our soldiers arrive soon," Lieutenant Lewis said.

"Let’s hope so." Captain Alice murmured.

Meanwhile, in the meeting room of Nafield City, the higher-ups and the city lord wore expressions of disbelief.

It was fifty versus eight, so the result of the fight left them completely stunned.

"He...killed fifty people alone?!" Brigadier General Bella found it hard to believe what she was seeing.

All awakeners they sent were powerful, yet they were slaughtered by a single person. They were even killed in one move as if they were nothing more than helpless weaklings.

"Who is that masked man?" a white-haired mature man inquired.

Even though he remained sitting in his seat, but from his cold expression, anyone could tell that he was furious.

The name of the mature man was Joshua Hunt, the city lord of Nafield City.

All the generals in the meeting room remained silent because they also didn’t know how he was.

"From his appearance, he looks like a young man, but I don’t remember Nightshire City having a young man as strong as him. Did city mistress pay him to help her subordinates secure the mine?" a red-haired man touches his chin as he murmured.

The name of the grown man was Vincent Hill, Lieutenant General.

"But why is he wearing a mask?" a blue-haired man who looked in his forties inquired.

His name was Kale Clarke, Major General.

"Deploy two groups to the mine," Joshua commanded. "The first group will consist of two hundred men and their task is to claim the mine. The second group is a team of ten people and their task is to gather intelligence and uncover the identity of the masked man."

"Understood, city lord." General Louis responded.

As Joshua was suppressing his anger, the soldiers of Icria City reached the mine.

The expression of deep shock blossomed on their faces when they saw the corpses of Nafield City soldiers scattered in front of the cave.

Not only them, but the higher-ups and their city lord were also shocked because they previously thought that their first clash would be with the soldiers of Nafield City.

After all, Nightshire City was farther from the mine, so their soldiers would arrive later.

"Oh, they finally arrived?!" Lieutenant Lewis, who was sitting on a bolder, kept eating his apple.

There was no sign of fear in his eyes, as if he was seeing seventy rabbits, not seventy soldiers.

"Did you guys kill them?" a brown-haired mature man inquired.

The grown man had red eyes and wore silver armor.

His name was Hayden, and he was the captain and commander of the group.

Instead of answering his question, Lieutenant Lewis asked, "Do you see anyone else besides us here?"

"Impossible!" Lieutenant Malvin exclaimed. "There is no way just eight of you could have killed them all without help. Don’t tell me. Your city’s soldiers have already arrived and are hiding nearby?"

"Our troops are still on their way here. I think they will arrive in thirty minutes or an hour." Lieutenant Lewis dared to give an honest answer because they had Ren.

"Hey, why did he give an honest answer?"

"You think he is telling the truth?! I’m sure he is lying to us."

"But he doesn’t seem lying to me."

"Then, isn’t he stupid?"

"Stupid? Isn’t that obvious? After all, he is from Nightshire City."

"Ah, you are right. I forgot that all people from Nightshire City are stupid!"

"Haha."

They made fun of Lieutenant Lewis and Nightshire City when he gave an honest answer because he was telling them their strength directly.

"Captain Hayden, let’s just kill them. This is a good opportunity to claim the mine." Lieutenant Malvin believed they could kill Ren and his group easily because they were small in number.

Captain Hayden didn’t give an order immediately.

He was still wary of how they had managed to kill all the soldiers of Nafield City, so he remained silent because his orders could lead to his subordinates’ deaths.

’Is he telling the truth?’

He skimmed his surroundings, trying to figure out why Lieutenant Lewis and the others were acting so calmly in front of them.

’Don’t tell me, they have set traps here?’

He thought this way because, from his point of view, it was impossible for eight people to kill fifty powerful soldiers, especially when Ren and his group didn’t have a single injury on their bodies.

As he was thinking about what they should do, the black bird flying above them chirped twice, giving a signal to attack Ren and his group immediately.

Ren, who noticed the sign, lifted his head to the sky. "So, you are also using the same method, huh?"

*Chirp...Chirp...

The bird chirped again when Captain Hayden remained hesitant to order an attack on Ren and his group because the higher-ups saw this as a perfect opportunity to seize the mine.

"Captain Hayden, the higher-ups have given an order. Let’s kill them immediately. Don’t worry. As long as we fight them carefully, we won’t meet the same fate as the soldiers of Nafield City." Lieutenant Malvin believed the soldiers of Nafield City died because they were careless or something along these lines.

Captain Hayden looked at the bird before returning his attention to Ren and his group.

"Attack them and claim the mine." The higher-ups had given an order, so Captain Hayden had no other choice now.

"Kill them!"

"Seize the mine!"

The soldiers of Icria City rushed toward Ren and his group.
