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 someo 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 nded on the robe he was wearing.

  "A-Are you an M-Magiight?" Someone from the vilge 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 turo them. "Leave these four to me. Magna, you go and take the old man with you. Check the ditions 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 summoheir 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 sed and his three subordinates had turned into pieces.

  Magna, Seihi, Noelle, and others looked at the se with shocked expressions and fot about running. Nobody was pletely uo see Alex's movements.

  "Just leave already," Ales shouted, jolting everyone awake to everyone as he focused his attention oh. "Don't worry big guy, I'll keep you in one piece to hand over ter,"

  Heath took out his pocket watd watched the time. "I don't know from where you e from and how you killed my people. But you throw off my schedule. I'll kill everyone in the 5 minutes and then tinue my search."

  It was then.

  Boom!

  With an explosion, a big dome of water appeared at the pce where the vilgers retreated.

  'It seemed the little girl finally regained her fidence.'

  Alex ughed, "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 o hold back.

  Sure enough, Heath's facial expression ged. "How do you?..."

  Alex ughed and released his killing i 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 oppo.

  "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 gring 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 aended his hand before saying in a anding tone. "Now kneel!"

  Heath tried to resist but his body didn't listen ao his knees.

  "Aaahhh!!..."

  He screamed once loudly before losing sciousness.

  Alex looked at him and sighed. 'He's so weak!'

  He grabbed his colr and took him to the pce where the vilgers 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 pnning to py with him more."

  Hearing his sentence, both Magna's and Nolle's faces twitched and they rolled their eyes.

  Alex turo Noelle and said, "It seems you finally get your fidence, huh? gratutions Miss Royalty!"

  Noelle nodded her head with a slight blush while inside, she was dang 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 dition of everyone?"

  Magna said with a big smile. "Thanks to old man Seihi, everyone is pletely fine except for a few bruises."

  "Thank you, Magiights!" At this time, Seihi walked forward and said sio the trio.

  Noelle did her trademark sign, tossing her one pigtail lightly with a smug expression.

  "We just 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 ughed and patted Alex's shoulder, agreeing with his statement. "He's right, old man. We just the leftover mess. Hahaha..."

  "Excuse me,"

  Suddenly, a little boy who seemed to be Nash's age stepped forward and approached Alex.

  "Hmm," Alex turowards him.

  "Are you really a oner?"

  Alex nodded his head.

  "... someone like me also bee a magiight?"

  "Nick..." Seihi wao say something but Alex stopped him.

  Alex smiled and sat down at Nick's level. "Yes, you . Don't let others decide your fate, kid. If I, someohout magi bee ohen why '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 ged 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 mihe 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 bee like you someday, big brother Asta."

  The vilgers stood at the entrand saw off the trio as they left carryih.
