Chapter 364: Battle At Makari Capital Part 4
I was walking in the town square and I stopped at a place to watch the Suns rise, soon I see even more people walking in the streets, I see children and adults, adventurers and vendors, men and women, people of the Human, Beastman, Dwarf races, a few Runics and Elves were also walking the streets.
I've seen children playing, people eating, vendors opening their food stalls, and adventurers looking tired as they walk towards the gates in combat gear or discarded armor.
Among the adventurers I saw an Elf who looked to be around 40 years old, she was the oldest looking Elf I have ever seen, she was sitting eating some kind of meat on the other side of the square while staring at me, she looked to be in normal clothes, but I realized that she has greater strength than she tries to show.
She was watching me and didn't even try to hide since I noticed her before dawn hiding in a room, maybe that's why she gave up hiding, but I don't feel malice coming from her, I can't feel her Aura either.
I smile while still hiding most of my face with the hood, so I use a rune on my shadow and create another one that I make go to this White Elf's shadow, she followed the rune with her eyes but didn't react letting the rune hit your shadow.
"Why are you watching me?" (I)Vissit for updates
"Because you're up to something."
"I'm just someone walking around the square to pass the time." (I)
"I noticed your presence during the night, you walked aimlessly without ever straying too far from the center of the square and trying to stay close to the places with more people, you also didn't talk to anyone and you're hiding your face."
"Everything about you is suspicious, you seem to be waiting for something."
She and I started talking in low voices almost like whispering, so no one will be able to hear us, I can speak and hear her leave from our shadows.
"Why are you trying to talk to me instead of running? Aren't you afraid I'll call the soldiers?"
"Soon there won't be any more soldiers in this city, you also noticed that there aren't any around." (I)
"..."
"I can't tell if you're a passing adventurer or a spy for some nation, but I have a request for you." (I)
"Why would I do anything you say?"
"Like everyone else, I'm limited in the number of things I can do at the same time." (I)
"Soon there will be trouble, please take everyone out of town, if possible try to protect the children gathered to your right with your Aura." (I)
"What are you doing? If you don't tell me I'll have to stop you."
Before long Lilian and Elsaris also appear, the Elf woman looks at me and runs along with the other people towards the exit of the city.
After not being able to see anyone else around keeping the monster illusion while I make a big fireball and destroy some shops and houses where I didn't feel the presence of people around, I did this to make immobilized people run to survive or do those who were trying to run towards the square to run back towards the exit.
After that Kira, Byakko, and Jay arrived, I drink some potions and some blood to recover from all the energy I spent, I have to be at full strength for what's to come as I don't know if my plan will take effect.
"Have you all finished your parts of the plan?" (I)
"I and Nix finished our part as you requested." (Lilian)
"All right on our side, master." (Nix)
"That was an easy job." (Elsaris)
"I didn't have to do anything, I just sat on her shoulder while I left all the work to her." (Layla)
"There were many enemies on the walls, most of them were just soldiers with Grade -B strength, there were only a few dozen Kimera Soldiers with Gra A strength." (Kira)
"We managed to kill them all quickly, but we were exhausted afterward, so we rested until the moment of the explosions." (Jay)
"Byakko is still resting." (Kira)
It seems that everyone has done their part of the plan as best they can so far, all that remains is to finish off the enemies in the castle.
Now that the magic circle is no longer a danger, I could just walk away, but I'm not stupid to let a sinister Demon have the patience for a decades-old plan like this that sure hates me to stay alive.
I'm sure he wouldn't rest until he found out you attacked him and ended his decades-old plans.
I'm not going to let him live to cause me problems later, even if it's risky, I'm going to end it all here and now.
"Is everyone ready for battle?" (I)
"Yes!" (all)
"So let's go." (I)
With that, I and the others head for the castle at full speed to meet up with those who have already begun their attack.
