Don't call me evil god

Chapter 15: Pub Conflict
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!”

A sound of breaking through the air was heard. Pete was more than 50 meters away from the door of the Moni Brothers Tavern, but for the high-speed flying arcane missile, it only took less than 2 seconds from the time it flew out of his hand to hitting the target.

The sturdy man in the lead heard the sound and realized something was wrong. When he turned his head and saw the missile, it was too late to dodge.

He barely managed to make a sideways movement, but the nimble purple projectile changed its flight trajectory, flew out a bright arc, and accurately hit the sturdy man's chest.

"Oh!"

There was a huge impact force, and the strong man was beaten so hard that he lost control of his facial expression. A distorted look of pain involuntarily appeared on his face, as if he had been hit hard on the head. His eyes turned black, and he spit out a mouthful of blood with a "wow", and then he let out a painful scream.

Although he was not knocked unconscious directly, the impact of the missile alone was enough to make him suffer. The pain from his chest and abdomen made him unable to stand steadily and he almost lost his ability to move.

The other four people who reacted were startled at first, then hurried over to support him and looked in the direction of Pete.

"Boss!"

"Is it okay!"

"what's the situation?"

"There's a wizard! He's a wizard!"

The sturdy man in the lead, despite the severe pain from being hit by the missile, tried to look at Pete from a distance.

There were no symbols of the downtown gangs he was familiar with, and they didn't look like people from other gangs.

Moreover, the slightly delicate clothing that Pete was wearing showed at first glance that he was not someone who would hang out in the downtown area.

I can't figure out where it came from.

"You...you are...from that road. We should...have no grudges against each other, right? Is there...some misunderstanding?"

No wonder he has to be cautious. Although gangs are rampant in the downtown area and there are all kinds of people, the actual level of most of the gangsters is only slightly better than ordinary people. A first-level professional can be considered the core force of the gang.

After all, if you want to become a professional, basic talent is not enough. You also need to have enough family background to pay fees to the corresponding church. Under the guidance of the church deacons, you need to learn the correct methods of prayer, meditation and exercise to truly become a professional.

These strong men who came to cause trouble were all ordinary people. The strongest and the leader was barely at the level of a trainee soldier. He was not a professional at all, but had secretly learned some basic combat training and martial arts moves. Until now, he has not even touched the threshold of mastering anger.

Pete's ability to cast a legitimate first-level spell like [Arcane Missiles] shows that he is a true professional.

Moreover, Pete just started to attack without saying a word, which made the gangsters unable to figure out his background and didn't know where Pete came from.

If they accidentally offend some big boss, for thugs like them who hang around in the downtown area, it is basic operation to change with the situation, so they will definitely have to admit defeat decisively.

Pete was full of confidence and was not afraid at all:

"There's no misunderstanding! I'm hitting you guys!"

"I just came here and saw you guys smashing up the tavern. Damn it! When I was at home with my guards and was bullying people, I never smashed up farmers' houses!"

The sturdy man, supported by his men, threatened sinisterly, "Don't blame us for not reminding you. The owner of this tavern has offended Lord Dursley. If you dare to go against us, you will offend Lord Dursley. You should know the benefits, right?"

But Pete looked confused.

"Who is the Dursley?"

The sturdy man in the lead suddenly turned pale.

What the hell!
Worry for nothing!

If the other party had any connection with a respectable gentleman in the upper city, they would have definitely run into a tough guy this time. In Green Harbor, if people from the lower city went against people from the upper city, it would not end well. The people from the upper city would solve the problems among themselves. They were just thugs to earn some extra money, but they dared not interfere and could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

It turned out that he was just a reckless outsider.

Without any scruples, the strong man's voice suddenly became louder:

"I thought he was someone important, but it turns out he's just a rookie!"

"Don't be afraid, brothers. Charge forward! So what if he's a mage? As long as we get close to him, he can't do anything to us!"

"Whoever can defeat him will get half of the reward given by Mr. Dursley!"

The sturdy man shouted, and the other four brothers, hearing that there was money to be made, immediately became excited and rushed towards Pete, roaring.

Pete had gone through the "baptism" of fighting with the deformed monster, so these thugs were nothing to him. He quickly outlined a familiar spell model, and three new purple missiles quickly took shape in his hand.

"Arcane Missiles!"

There was a sound of breaking air, and the gangster in the front didn't even have time to dodge, and was hit on the chin by the arcane missile. He was knocked into the air, and with a snap, his eyeballs rolled back and he was knocked unconscious on the spot!

[Mission: Defeat the thugs 1/5]

"hiss……"

The other three thugs gasped when they saw the tremendous power of the missile, and their forward momentum suddenly slowed down.

Just now they were blinded by money, but the reason why real professionals can distance themselves from ordinary people is because they master real spells and combat skills that possess enormous power.

The leading strong man was hit, and even if he was not knocked unconscious, he lost his ability to move on the spot;
If it falls upon these younger brothers, the one who was just knocked unconscious is a lesson for them, they will definitely be killed one at a time!

What's more, the magic construction and chanting of [Arcane Missiles] are not complicated. With Pete's current proficiency, it only takes 2 seconds from the beginning of casting to the formation of the missile.

Although the mage will be very weak if he is approached, he still needs to be able to get close.

Given that there was some distance between the two sides, he might be knocked down one by one before he could even reach Pete.

The gangsters were not stupid either, and they hesitated and wavered for a moment.

The leader saw this and shouted hurriedly:

"Don't be afraid! This guy is obviously a beginner spellcaster. I've heard that mages are limited in the number of spellcasting times they can perform each day! He has already cast spells twice! If he casts once more, he'll be done for!"

"Whoever captures him will get my share of the reward!"

There will always be brave men when there is a big reward. The three thugs who were still standing looked at each other, and continued to rush towards Pete while howling.

If Pete only had one last chance to cast the spell, at most he could kill one of them and the spell would fail. In other words, they had only a one-third chance of becoming the unlucky ones.

The other two will have the opportunity to get a lot of reward money!

The gangsters in the downtown area are not wealthy and spend money lavishly. This time, they were promised a large sum of money after the smashing of the Moni Brothers' tavern. If they really get it, it will be enough for them to live a carefree life for a long time.

Faced with three enemies who were still capable of fighting, Pete did not panic at all. He continued to outline the model of the next [Arcane Missile] slowly and at a familiar pace.
