Shane was just hanging out with Brycen at Vera's Plaza since there are a lot of peddlers here with their mats on the ground showing off their goods.
They are various items they've collected outside the city. Some were even handcrafted materials and were magic crafted to turn into Magic Tools or Accessories.
Brycen found their items quite unique so he spoke to a few of them and realized that they were actually from a different continent or land… They come from the Tudor Kingdom which is in the north of the Parason Continent.
The two of them have heard of lands across the north ocean but it is their first time hearing about the Tudor Kingdom.
Unlike Lola who was privy to this type of information, these two don't really care about these things.
"So the handcrafter materials here have some cultural aspect of your kingdom, huh… I guess it's a sign that we should buy these things." Shane said as he picked up a unique amulet…
Brycen also found a dreamcatcher that was being sold for only 25 Mana Crystals.
"What? Are you having bad dreams?" Shane couldn't help but comment after seeing his friend take the dreamcatcher with him.
"Haha… What's surprising about that? I just felt that my pet's spirit is visiting me every night.… I probably still feel guilty about his death in the 30th Tower. Maybe this thing can help me sleep well." Brycen replied. He was trying to be cheerful as he didn't really want to recall the death of his pet.
Although he tamed another flying beast, he still can't forget the partner that he had for a very long time.
As the two were planning to check the items of other peddlers around the plaza, they suddenly felt a powerful detection ability scanning throughout the city.
"What?"
"Where is that coming from?"
The city's barrier was also unable to stop this detection scan making them aware that this city is being surveyed by a very strong magician.
Brycen and Shane looked at each other as they guessed that the Black Magic Organization had already set their eyes on the city.
This is not a good thing since Vincent and his Celestial Beings have not returned yet.
They have to join the military and defend the city until then!
At this time, Calidia's announcement from the Tower's command center came out as well.
She briefed everyone about the incoming enemies. A horde of barbarians started marching towards them and there were several Totemic Barbarians that are already outside their city gate!
The garrison brigade and the mage battalion were immediately mobilized.
Even Thyrus came out of the villa he was staying at to help with the defense.
He immediately caught up with Shane and Brycen to inform the two about Vera City's defense protocol.
Thyrus was here when it was attacked by several warships before so he knows what they should do at this point.
He informed them that they can't carelessly join in the fight unless they were told to do so. It's simply because there is a command center monitoring the whole situation and making real-time tactics.
"Ho… I guess Vincent had really trained and prepared for this type of event… Let's see what they'll do then…" Brycen commented as he decided to just observe the situation like what Thyrus suggested.
After a few minutes, they heard the sounds of battle going on as the artillery guns started firing at the Totemic Barbarians who are trying to break the city gate…
At this point, two people who had an aura of a Magic Knight came to their side and asked for their assistance. They are Lar and Ross who were supposedly leading a squad of their own.
"Sir Brycen and Sir Shane, Commander Calidia is asking if the two of you can deal with the Warlocks who are protecting Totemic Barbarians…"
"Warlocks? Not the Totemic Barbarians themselves?"
"Yes… As long as you were able to kill the Warlocks, we can easily win. The Totemic Barbarians were quite weak against Mental Attacks so we can defeat them without our prepared Magic Tools once they lost the protection of the Warlocks."
"Oh… So that was the case. Alright… Let me check the situation." Shane nodded in understanding as their group went to the top of the city wall to see the battlefield.
About 500 meters away from them is a group of Warlocks using some sort of ritual or magic to cast protection among the group of Totemic Barbarians.
They were all carrying some Grimoire and Staves which makes them easily identifiable. Behind these warlocks was a horde of barbarians who seem to be waiting for the gates to open…
'They were trusting the Totemic Barbarians that much, huh… Are they stronger than the Demonic Cult's captains?'
Shane mused after seeing the large tattoed barbarians aiming to destroy the barrier and the gate…
The artillery guns keep firing at them to weaken their bodies but it doesn't seem to be effective because of the protection they are receiving from the warlocks behind them.
'It's a good strategy… However, we should end it now…'
He honestly wanted to fight head-on against a Totemic Barbarian to see who is stronger. However, he knows that it's not the right time to satisfy his curiosity.
"Can we just destroy the Grimoire and Staves they are using?" Shane asked Lar who was waiting for them on the side.
"Oh… That's fine as well. As long as their magic stopped, our plan should still work." Lar replied after thinking for a moment.
At this time, Shane and Brycen no longer hesitated as they jumped out of the city wall and rushed towards the cluster of warlocks…
Whoosh! Whoosh!
They both used Ground Shifting Movement Technique that allowed them to move from one place to another making them difficult targets.
As soon as they reached the Warlocks, they immediately created havoc disrupting their support for the Totemic Barbarians near the city gate.
This time, they were no longer holding back unlike when they faced Vincent…
They immediately activated their Tier 5 Mana Arts transforming their whole bodies into something more powerful! They were unafraid even in the face of the thousand of Barbarians that were surrounding them.
