Chapter 341 Dark Guild Invades
341 Dark Guild Invades
[ “Raging Flames Assault” ]
“AH!”
-THUD!
Hiro and the others were on the verge of kneeling. They already felt too pressured due to her aura, however, the attack which contained powerful mana aura and heat had made it even more difficult for them to stay standing.
Everyone could feel that this was not something that they could compete with. In front of the huge fire attack, they felt like insignificant beings that should cease to exist.
They didn’t even have the will to resist the attack.
Even if they wanted to, they could not properly circulate their mana which is required to conjure their skills.
They closed their eyes and waited for the inevitable to happen. 1 second… 2 seconds… 3 seconds… After waiting for the Flames to hit them, they were still okay. Moreover, the intense heat that they were experiencing had also disappeared. Rather they were feeling cold instead of feeling hot.
They opened their eyes to see the flames that were making their way toward them freeze. The attack had become ice just before it hit them.
.....
-PHEW!
Many of them were feeling relieved including Hiro. It seemed that at the last minute, they were saved.
“Are you guys okay?”
Professor Mia asked. Fortunately, she was able to save them just in time. If she was even a few seconds late, Hiro and the rest of the group would have been roasted.
Seeing Professor Mia was a big relief for many of them. Previously, the presence of Rank-S Dark Guild women had really terrified their minds and made them panic. But with Professor Mia who is also Rank-S on their side, they had almost no fear.
Almost no fear because even if Professor Mia could take care of their Rank-S executive, the Dark Guild side still had many Rank-A members. While on their side, not many were at Rank-A. They had many Rank-B including Hiro, Zion, Lisa, Sylvia, Misha, and Lisanna, however, they lacked Rank-A fighters.
Professor Mia immediately rushed to the front. She had her guard up and was very vigilant about the invaders.
“Can you guys move?”
Professor Mia asked while keeping her eyes on the Dark Guild. She was under great pressure because of the presence of a powerful enemy as well as having many people to protect. She can’t mess up or else lives would be lost.
“Thank you, Professor Mia! We can move properly.”
Lisa answered. Due to Dark Guild’s executive mana aura, they were previously unable to move, but at the moment Professor Mia’s mana aura protected them. They were also not injured thanks to her timely arrival.
Professor Mia nodded at her.
“You should take the injured to a safe place and stay there. I want you all to protect them and yourself. And I don’t want to make you hopeless, however, I have to tell you this. Dark Guild has surrounded this place and reinforcement would be late.”
Professor Mia said.
Just a few seconds before the explosion, she received a call about requiring reinforcement from other locations. She could guess that the Dark Guild was also attacking multiple other places. That’s why she knew that there would be no reinforcements who would come to help them.
Many powerful people are already focused on the war. Despite calling reinforcements, it would take at least hours for them to arrive, and there are many places that needed their assistance. Professor Mia knew that they could not rely on reinforcement in this situation.
A lot of people became nervous as soon as they heard this. Without reinforcement, they were as good as dead. They didn’t think that against the Dark Guild member, they would even find surviving 10 minutes difficult.
“Okay!”
However, Hiro and his friends responded well without much hesitation. It wasn’t long before they started taking the injured people away from the scene.
No reinforcement? Hopeless situation? That was something that they were used to. BloodyWolf Forest! Devil’s Invasion! And many such situations were all like this. They knew that in times of danger, it is not very good to rely on reinforcement and they needed to survive on their own.
However, this was different for many people who had never faced real danger until this moment. The majority of people learning Dual Art were under the age of 20 and did not have much experience.
Other people working there were even worse since they were never trained to even be Explorers. That’s why they were scared and panicked the moment Professor Mia said that reinforcement would not arrive.
-WHOOSH!
Amidst the panic, Hiro and others carried the unconscious people as they made their way toward other places.
Professor Mia smiled.
She was proud of her students who grew up well. They didn’t hesitate while making a decision, and they knew how to digest information with a calm mind.
Other people also followed them. They didn’t have much choice after all. The choice was either to stay here where Rank-S would fight or to run away from that place, seeking a safe place to hide.
“Why are you targeting this place?”
Professor Mia asked. Unlike the other place that Dark Guild had attacked, this place only had students such as Hiro and there was no treasure or anything that might appeal to Dark Guild.
“Hehe... That you don’t have to know!”
The Rank-S executive said. Following this, she ordered other Dark Guild members to pursue Hiro and others by signaling with her hand.
-WHOOSH!
The Dark Guild members immediately followed her command and rushed to chase after Hiro and others. They also don’t want to stay in a place that would soon be a battleground for two Rank-S.
“Icy Burst”
It would be incomprehensible for Professor Mia to allow them to do what they wanted in her presence, however. She used her AOE skill which would slow and freeze anyone who got hit by it.
Gradually, the enemies grew slower and some even froze.
“Flame Burst”
However, the Rank-S executive was also not willing to let Professor Mia do what she wanted. With her extremely hot flames, she melted the ice and negated the effect of the Icy Burst.
Professor Mia was extremely surprised. She looked at the Rank-S executive with a frown and asked.
“Why?”
Professor Mia was indeed surprised. However, not because her Icy Burst was negated by her enemy.
“Why? Why is it you, Professor Frey?”
