Chapter 248 Underestimated
7 was confused when he saw Leo knock Mira out. He couldn't understand why Leo did that. The only conclusion he could come to was that he understood that reinforcements would be getting there quickly, so he was surrendering.
"You are making the right move. Surrender now, and we will let you go," 7 lied with a smile on his face. There was no way that they would be letting Leo go alive, but it would be easier to kill a person who thinks that they are on the same side.
Leo shook his head.
"Both of us know that you won't let me leave alive. Why do we need to lie to each other?" As he said that, he sunk into the ground, disappearing into the darkness.
7 was caught off guard. He quickly put up a shield around him while furiously searching for where Leo had disappeared. As he was searching around, a tendril tried to strike him from behind, hitting his aura shield.
"Tsk," Leo clicked his tongue when he saw his Crimson Whiplash fail to make it past the shield. It did make the aura shield crack a little though. He once again sunk into the ground, disappearing just as 7 turned around.
"What is this?! I have never heard of an aura technique that allows one to teleport!" He shouted as he became delirious. His inability to see his opponent was starting to get to his nerves as he became afraid of where the next attack was going to come from. n0VelbIn
Leo was having a quick debate in his mind on how to end the battle quickly. He wanted to keep the advantage of his hidden status as a mage before the other three pursuers arrived. That was why he still used his aura technique to try and damage the shield. However, it would take too much time to get past the shield and he wanted to kill the person before the others emerged out of the forest.
He quickly checked how long he had and frowned. The closest person was now only 400 meters away and would get there in less than a minute. The best option he had would be to finish the battle quickly and prepare to battle the others. There wasn't any way he would lose to a few 3rd Circle Aura Knights whether or not they knew he was a mage.
"So it was you. You weren't part of the report we received. Who are you?"
Leo shook his head. "I am just a wandering stranger to them. She's actually incredibly lucky that I offered to escort her to the capital. There aren't a lot of mercenaries who are ready to deal with 9 3rd Circle Aura Knights chasing them. So, who are you? You must be in some big organization if you are going after her."
The leader of the group frowned when he heard Leo's answer. It was incredibly vague but it revealed that he knew that their group had 9 people even though there were only 5 of them here. How was his intelligence so much better than theirs?
"If you were strong enough to fight us, then you would have made a stand instead of letting us massacre everyone else in your group," he said. Leo was openly displaying his aura, giving the leader the impression that he was an Early-Stage 3rd Circle Aura Knight. Having this information about him made the leader complacent.
"I'll just report you as an unforeseen circumstance to explain what happened to 4 and 7." He turned to look at the person to his right.
"Kill him. Both of you, together. 4 and 7 attacked separately, which clearly didn't end well."
The minute he said that the two people behind him rushed toward Leo to attack him. Their blind faith in their leader's words amused Leo a little as he readied himself to face them.
He knew how strong the two were. Both were Middle-Stage 3rd Circle Aura Knights like the one he defeated before.
As they were approaching him the two were preparing their strongest attacks. All they knew about their opponent was that he could create an explosion, but it didn't explain what happened to 4. The uncertainty around him only increased their vigilance.
Leo noticed their careful approach and nodded in approval.
"That's good. At least you guys are giving it your all before dying."
