Suddenly, Heath, the mage with the scar summoned icicles and threw them toward the old man.
The old man closed his eyes as he knew he couldn't stop the attacks.
"No! Grandpa!"
*Whoosh!*
Just as the icicles were about to hit him, something unbelievable happened.
All the icicles were destroyed.
"Hey, how about you fight with someone at your level." With the voice, a boy holding a big sword appeared in front of the old man.
Seihi opened his eyes and saw an ash-grey-haired young boy standing in front of him. His eyes landed on the robe he was wearing.
"A-Are you an M-Magic knight?" Someone from the village asked.
Alex smiled at them and said, "Just leave everything to us."
"Hey old man, are you alright?" At this time, Magna and Noelle reached Seihi.
Alex turned to them. "Leave these four to me. Magna, you go and take the old man with you. Check the conditions of everyone. Noelle, Magna doesn't have enough magic so the responsibility to protect everyone will be on you."
"But I..."
"Believe in yourself and believe in your friends!" Alex said with a smile before turning his attention to his enemies. "So then, as this guy with scars is enough for me to take back for interrogation. I'll start with you three."
"Mist Magic: Illus-" The three of them summoned their grimoire and cast a spell but before they could finish, their heads fell down from their shoulders, rolling on the ground.
"What the..." Heath, the leader, was startled by it as he couldn't grasp how the young man moved so fast.
The speed was so fast that it took barely a second and his three subordinates had turned into pieces.
Magna, Seihi, Noelle, and others looked at the scene with shocked expressions and forgot about running. Nobody was completely unable to see Alex's movements.
"Just leave already," Ales shouted, jolting everyone awake to everyone as he focused his attention on Heath. "Don't worry big guy, I'll keep you in one piece to hand over later,"
Heath took out his pocket watch and watched the time. "I don't know from where you come from and how you killed my people. But you throw off my schedule. I'll kill everyone in the next 5 minutes and then continue my search."
It was then.
Boom!
With an explosion, a big dome of water appeared at the place where the villagers retreated.
'It seemed the little girl finally regained her confidence.'
Alex laughed, "Haha, for a dog of Patolli, you sure bark too much."
As Magna and others had already retreated up to a safe distance, he didn't need to hold back.
Sure enough, Heath's facial expression changed. "How do you?..."
Alex laughed and released his killing intent out, targeting him.
Heath was gripped by a sense of crisis as he realized the little boy in front of him was not an easy opponent.
"A dog like you wants to hunt a beast like me. Hehe, then show me what you got."
But Heath had already lost his will as he looked at him. For the first time, he saw the shadow of death over him.
He felt like he was trapped in endless darkness and many small eyes were glaring at him, especially the two big red eyes in front of him.
Suddenly, the owner of those red eyes walked out of the darkness.
"You, you, you..." Heath's entire body shivered and pissed his pants.
Alex smiled and extended his hand before saying in a commanding tone. "Now kneel!"
Heath tried to resist but his body didn't listen and fell to his knees.
"Aaahhh!!..."
He screamed once loudly before losing consciousness.
Alex looked at him and sighed. 'He's so weak!'
He grabbed his collar and took him to the place where the villagers had gathered.
"Huh, you finished him so quickly?" Magna had a dumbfounded face as he said that.
Alex rolled his eyes. "You're doubting my capability."
"Eh, no, no, it's just the guy looks strong to me."
"What strong? He's done in only one move. I'm planning to play with him more."
Hearing his sentence, both Magna's and Nolle's faces twitched and they rolled their eyes.
Alex turned to Noelle and said, "It seems you finally get your confidence, huh? Congratulations Miss Royalty!"
Noelle nodded her head with a slight blush while inside, she was dancing in joy. 'He praised me, he praised me, He Praised Me! Yea!'
It was then.
A bird poked its head from Alex's shirt and flew into the sky.
"Huh, an anti-bird?"
"What the hell it's doing in your shirt?"
Alex just shrugged his shoulders and asked, "How is the condition of everyone?"
Magna said with a big smile. "Thanks to old man Seihi, everyone is completely fine except for a few bruises."
"Thank you, Magic Knights!" At this time, Seihi walked forward and said sincerely to the trio.
Noelle did her trademark sign, tossing her one pigtail lightly with a smug expression.
"We just clean the mess, old man." Alex stepped forward and said with a smile. "You're the real hero who protected so many people alone."
"Huh? But I..." Seihi was taken aback by Alex's sentence.
Magna laughed and patted Alex's shoulder, agreeing with his statement. "He's right, old man. We just clean the leftover mess. Hahaha..."
"Excuse me,"
Suddenly, a little boy who seemed to be Nash's age stepped forward and approached Alex.
"Hmm," Alex turned towards him.
"Are you really a commoner?"
Alex nodded his head.
"Can... Can someone like me also become a magic knight?"
"Nick..." Seihi wanted to say something but Alex stopped him.
Alex smiled and sat down at Nick's level. "Yes, you can. Don't let others decide your fate, kid. If I, someone without magic can become one then why can't you too."
He patted his head. "But you have to work extra hard than anyone. Just walk the path your heart says the correct, okay?"
Nick's face changed as the little guy tried very hard not to cry. "... Yeah."
The anti-bird that had flown away came back with a magic stone in her mouth and sat down on Alex's head.
Asta patted its little head and stored the stone in his pocket.
"Well, our work here is done. So, let's return back."
After hanging around for a few minutes, the group decided to leave.
"I'll be waiting for you at the capital, Nick," Alex said to Nick before leaving.
Nick waved his hand and shouted. "I'll train harder and become like you someday, big brother Asta."
The villagers stood at the entrance and saw off the trio as they left carrying Heath.
