Benjamin felt something was wrong.
Through induction, he could confirm that the veiled woman in front of him was a mage. But... He had only entered Bianmo City for a few minutes, so why did he run into trouble? Is it because his luck has exploded, or are these four people so famous that they can be recognized as soon as they show up
Judging from the other party's appearance, he felt that there might be a misunderstanding.
Therefore, he quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't do anything to them. They just don't feel well. They will be fine after taking a rest."
The masked woman was slightly startled.
"...Are you their friend?"
Benjamin frowned.
Friends...does it count
Although there was some hesitation in his heart, in order to quickly resolve this embarrassing situation, he still nodded and said, "Okay, I came here with them."
However, the other party's reaction completely surprised him.
"Hmph... Since you are all in the same group, then you should die with them!"
Along with the sudden riot of elements, the masked woman recited a spell, exuding a faint killing intent. Immediately afterwards, an ice cone suddenly appeared in the air, filled with cold air, and was aimed at Benjamin and the other four thieves.
“…”
Benjamin was speechless.
Damn it, I thought it was a teammate who wanted to save someone, but turned out to be an enemy
It's okay if the plot doesn't follow the routine. Just killing people in the town would be a bit too arrogant. Aren't you afraid of attracting the patrol? Is there any royal law left in this place
He couldn't help but pay attention to the reactions of the people around him. As a result, these passers-by were much calmer than he thought - they turned around and ran away, their movements were particularly skillful, they hid in the house one after another, closed the doors and windows, and then the family crowded around the window to eat melon and watch.
Benjamin was stunned.
So, has Bianmo City become such a mess
At this moment, he was confused and wanted to wake up the four thieves and ask them what was going on. However, he obviously didn't have time to do this.
—The other side has already taken action, so there is no way he can do nothing.
I saw the masked woman pointing with her left hand, and more than twenty sharp ice picks flew straight towards Benjamin like small missiles that had found their target in mid-air.
Benjamin quickly recited the spell, and immediately, a wall of ice rose up, blocking all the opponent's attacks.
"Who are you?" The opponent's attack was not too fierce. Benjamin blocked it more calmly and made room for him. He frowned and asked this question.
"It's none of your business." Probably seeing Benjamin easily blocking the attack, the masked woman's eyes became more cautious, and she did not continue to attack, but said, "If you are sensible, get out of the way quickly. I just want Four of them are enough.”
When Benjamin heard this, he could only helplessly spread his hands and said, "Sorry, I need these four people now. If you really want to kill them, can you wait for a few days?"
"Neuropathy."
Hearing this, the masked woman cursed and suddenly took out a gun from her arms.
Unexpectedly, Benjamin pointed the gun into the sky and pulled the trigger.
boom!
Loud gunshots spread in this silent street. Benjamin was a little confused at first, but soon he knew why the other party did this.
Is she asking for help
Benjamin's heart skipped a beat.
Although he still didn't understand the situation, judging from the confident look on the other side, her reinforcements should be quite powerful, and they might not be as easy to deal with now.
If it were before, Benjamin might have decided to retreat and run away with the four of them, asking him about the situation first. But now, his strength has grown a lot, and his behavior has become less cautious.
Therefore, instead of running away, he rushed directly towards the masked woman!
—In any case, he is now considered a big boss. If he was attacked at the slightest disagreement, how could he not fight back
boom!
There was another gunshot, only this time, it was Benjamin who fired. The reaction of the masked woman was quick, and she hurriedly stretched out her shield to block the blessed bullet. However, the shield she had just summoned was shattered by the bullet at this moment and disintegrated into elements again.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Benjamin walked around behind the masked woman.
At that moment, he condensed a highly compressed water bomb in his hand. He raised the water bomb high, swung it hard, and slapped the masked woman on the back of the head!
Along with the water spray rising into the sky, the water bomb exploded instantly, erupting with extremely powerful impact. The masked woman was caught off guard, as if she had been hit by a high-speed car. With a bang, she flew backwards more than ten meters away, like a bottle hit by a bowling ball.
Finally, she fell to the ground motionless.
When Benjamin saw this, he also sneered.
A mage was hit on the back of the head by a water bomb at close range, and Benjamin deliberately controlled the direction of the explosion. The final power was absolutely terrifying.
-If Benjamin hadn’t held her hand up with steam just now, she might have fallen to her death now.
Even so, she must have been deeply hurt by being hit like this. Benjamin estimated that he must have at least suffered intracranial hemorrhage and was temporarily unable to move, so he was considered subdued.
Then, he used the ice breaking technique to create an ice coffin and threw the person in with the water vapor.
The opponent's reinforcements may come soon. Benjamin wants to know the situation and doesn't want to just run away in despair. Therefore, he decided to use the masked woman as a hostage. The enemy would be wary, and he could wait and see what would happen.
Thinking this, he turned his head and looked at the four thieves who had not yet woken up.
… Really troublesome guys.
Before the enemy's reinforcements arrived, he produced a healing water ball and slapped it on them, waking them up.
"What, what's wrong..." Several people rubbed their heads and stood up dizzily. And when they saw the masked woman in the ice coffin, it was as if they had seen a ghost. Their eyes widened with disbelief.
Benjamin crossed his hands and said indifferently: "What's wrong? I also want to ask you what is going on. Don't you explain it?"
"Um… "
The four of them scratched their heads and fell into confused silence.
However, Benjamin didn’t have time to ask any more questions. Soon, he raised his head and looked up at the sky with a serious face. I saw dozens of figures suddenly appearing in the sky, approaching here quickly. It looks like a group of mages using flying magic.
It should be the reinforcements of the masked woman.
"Tsk...there are so many people? It's a bit troublesome."
Benjamin thought for a while and suddenly waved his hand. Countless water vapor emerged, like a strong wind, blowing towards the people in the sky. The dozens of mages seemed to be unable to react in time, being blocked by the water vapor and unable to fly over for a while.
As for Benjamin and the others, they took advantage of their opponent being dragged and ran away with the unconscious masked woman.
"What... you, stop right here!"
Behind them, there seemed to be such a voice coming from afar.
Benjamin didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he drove the steam, took the four thieves and the masked woman with him, and flew around the corner in the blink of an eye and disappeared.
Are you kidding? He has become a lot more powerful. But one person fighting dozens of people is not a matter of strength.
It's better to go ahead.
In the house, the passers-by who crowded around the windows couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they saw this scene.
Benjamin ran away very quickly and disappeared after a while. After they disappeared, the group of mages flew down menacingly, showing angry expressions on their faces. When passersby saw this, they quickly drew the curtains and began to pretend to be dead.
Of course, if you look carefully through the gap left between the curtains, you can still see pairs of curious eyes, silently watching all this.
"Oops... that thing is still on her, it seems they took it away together." After landing, a mage suddenly spoke, panicking.
The person in the gap in the curtain suddenly opened his eyes with excitement.
On the street, other mages looked at each other, their expressions becoming even more ugly.
"Find them quickly!" A mage who looked older and seemed to be their leader took a deep breath, waved his fist, and there was a terrible low pressure in his voice.
