DESTINY GIRL

39. Low Level Magicians

" The city looks calm.... We'll find lodging before dinner "After taking care of the horses, Asgar waits for Rey on the terrace while chatting with other visitors. After taking a shower, Rey takes a walk with Asgar.

" Miss, one of the visitors is looking for her husband who didn't come home from yesterday "

" Eh.... ? did her husband leave not saying goodbye ? "

" Already, he said there was a trade affair "

" And then..... Is there anything else related to her husband ? "

" Maybe this has something to do with witches "

Rey paused and looked at Asgar as if asking again.

" They were talking about a dried corpse found near the inn's stables. There were wounds but no blood on his body. This is the same as the corpses that were in the capital of Higresia, on the night the witches came "Asgar explained.

" So ... there's probably a witch hanging around here "

" Miss, may I go for a while to the gun dealer's after dinner ? I want to make a firearm "

" We'll go there together "

After dinner, they searched the gun shop. Asgar explained his wish. He will pay anything if he can make the weapon in question. While Rey looked around the various weapons displayed on the wall.

After the deal happened, they rushed back to the inn. I heard someone scream. Asgar immediately ran towards the right aisle. Rey also ran. And he hit the back of Asgar who stopped suddenly.

" Asgar, what's up ? "

Rey peeked over from the side of Asgar's body. They saw a black figure standing in front of a wounded man.

Slowly the figure turned towards Asgar and Rey. His eyes glow red. Unknowingly Rey clutched Asgar's left arm and whispered softly.

" i.it...witch ....... "

" Alright, I'll attack him with fire "

The witch moved closer to Asgar. He saw that Asgar's shield and sword were made of silver. His smile smirked.

" It seems you're brave enough to fight me ? "

He took out a ball of black smoke from his hand and threw it at Asgar. Asgar stuck his shield to make the ball bounce towards the tree.

" Blaamm's.... "

Suddenly the tree became dry. Asgar was stunned to see it. He recalled Lord Kendrick's message to reverse the attack with a shield.

This time Asgar began to notice the direction of the attack. Rey behind stood alert with anxious feelings. The witch again threw the black smoke ball. Asgar positioned his shield directly proportional to the arrival of the attack.

" Zzzzttt. "the ball of smoke quickly hit the witch .

" Aarrrghh............... ! "

The witch slammed back. His mouth was bleeding black blood. Rey immediately threw a fireball at the witch.

" Aaaaarrrggh......................... "

The witch rolled around trying to put out the fire, but it was in vain. Slowly his body ran out and became ashes. Rey moved the wind to scatter the ash into the air.

Asgar immediately approached the victim and checked her condition. But Rey quickly held onto the shoulder of Asgar and the old man. They move (teleport) into Rey's room. Rey then sat down on the floor.

" Miss..... ! you're all right ? "

Rey shook her head and put an index finger in her mouth. Outside there was the sound of wind and dog barking. Understand Asgar, there are other witches coming.

Seeing Rey's breathless state, Asgar took off his necklace and placed it on Rey's palm. Then he helped the man sit leaning . Asgar tried to bandage the wound in a tear on the man's neck.
