The mercenary captain originally wanted to say that the boy was frozen, but the boy's mysterious calmness made him dare not relax, so he changed his mind and asked the magician to set fire to the man to death.
But at this moment, the sound of horses neighing came from the other side of the mercenary team.
Everyone thought that some cavalry had broken into the battlefield, and they all looked over vigilantly. As a result, what they saw was not a steed as ordinary people knew, but a magical elemental warhorse with blue flames burning all over its body!
In the blink of an eye, the Blue Flame Horse had rushed into the mercenary team's formation, causing wailing wherever it went.
Anyone who was burned directly by it turned into charcoal on the spot, and those who were affected by it on the side were also in so much pain that they threw away their weapons and armor.
"how is this possible?"
"Where did the magician come from?"
"Where did the third-level magic come from?!"
A single shot from a Tier 3 spell could destroy a single-story house. For a Tier 1 or 2 combat class, a direct hit would be fatal.
However, third-level magic requires a long time to chant, during which time it is difficult for the magician to hide.
"Where were the scouts?! Why didn't they sound the alarm about the enemy magician?!"
The mercenary captain was furious. If he told others that he was ambushed by a magician, his colleagues would laugh their heads off!
However, before his subordinates could answer, the second blue flame horse rushed out again. This time, even the mercenary captain himself could not see where the enemy's magic circle was generated.
"Damn, is there more than one magician?"
At this moment, the mercenary captain finally realized that something was wrong. He planned to run away, but before he could do that, he had to kill the young man in black first.
This is not because he is dedicated to his job, but because if he fails to complete the task, he will be killed by the mayor sooner or later.
"Don't panic!"
"Magic of this power can't be cast three times in a row!"
"Thieves, go find the magician!"
"Heavily armored soldiers, raise your shields and form a defensive line!"
"The enemy may have more than one support!!"
The mercenary captain roared at the top of his lungs, and while giving orders, he quickly ran to the edge of the rock cage.
Without any hesitation, the mercenary captain thrust his sword through the gap in the cage. In that narrow space, there was no way the young man in black could dodge.
However, a strange thing happened again. The mercenary captain felt that he had not been stabbed at all.
"Impossible, how could there be no one in here?"
The mercenary captain looked through the crack in the rock wall and found that it was indeed empty inside.
He clearly saw the young man in black being locked up. How could such a big man escape silently?
The mercenary captain was about to throw another glowing magic stone in to see if anything was wrong when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
"Don't bother me, can't you see I'm busy?!"
The mercenary captain roared impatiently and looked back.
But after turning around, he could never turn his head back.
The young man in black was standing behind him.
A black sword was already placed on the mercenary captain's neck.
Around them, the other fourteen people except the mercenary captain were either lying in a pool of blood or burned to charcoal. None of them looked like they were still alive.
"Are you free? I want to ask you something."
The young man smiled at the mercenary captain, but there was no smile in his eyes.

When Albert arrived at the "Trial Gate Control Area" in the suburbs, it had already become a buffet paradise for wild beasts.
Wolves, hyenas, wild dogs... and even bears, all gnaw on human corpses here without interfering with each other.
Since there was food everywhere, the beasts didn't care about Albert, a living person, approaching.
On the other hand, the dangerous aura emanating from this man also made them dare not bare their fangs towards him.
——(He even went out of his way to attract wild beasts... He seems to be an old hand...)
Albert examined the condition of several bodies and initially determined that these people had only been dead for one or two hours.
After further examining the bodies, Albert became puzzled.
According to the information given to him by Mayor Gillian, the target should be a black-clad archer, but there were no wounds caused by arrows on these corpses.
Contrary to Albert's expectations, most of the wounds on the body were sword wounds, and the cut surface was very smooth. It can be seen that the murderer had a very sharp sword, or he was an excellent swordsman.
In addition, there were some corpses that were burned to death, their bodies were charred black, and in the most serious cases, even their bones were burned into black powder.
Is the person who did all these things really just an archer?
Albert then counted the number of bodies and found that there were fifteen mercenaries killed.
——(Fifteen to one, and completely wiped out...)
This made Albert wonder if there was something wrong with the mayor's intelligence, or... was there more than one enemy and they had set an ambush?
——(Or maybe... this archer is also level three like me?)
Albert was a little excited. He hadn't met a decent opponent for a long time.
This time he would accept the commission from Mayor Sunny Town, mainly to keep his body in fighting condition. Otherwise, when he followed Lady Viviana to the battlefield next time, he might not be able to set a good example.
Albert searched around and finally found a fresh set of footprints. It looked like it was left by a man and a horse, and the footprints were very deep, probably because they were carrying something heavy.
What's strange is that this man didn't get on his horse until he left here. Instead, he walked with the horse on his left and right, heading towards Sunny Town.
Albert stood up, mounted his horse, and followed the footprints in high spirits.

At the same time, in the sky above the Hell Abyss Empire, the "One and Only Demon God, the Unspeakable Name" had just torn apart space and time, creating a rift channel leading to the "Wester Kingdom - Green Lizard Lord's Territory - Sunny Town".
For the "Sole Demon God, the Unspeakable Name", she does not need any other travelers other than the "Lord of Eternal Winter" in this world.

Next Chapter: "Unknown Cause of Death"
6.1 - Torn Night Sky (Part )
━━━━━━━━━━
October 187, 6
〖6:03 pm〗
[Confession death countdown remaining: 23 days]
━━━━━━━━━━
In Sunny Town, outside the Mission Guild, there were two homeless men sitting on the shoulder of the road, glancing at the Mission Guild from time to time.
No one took them seriously; the town was full of ragged fellows.
But in fact, they were not homeless people, but the men of the mayor Killian, named Oboka and Charles.
The two sloppy men are now guarding the mission guild from a distance, waiting for their target person: the fox girl Emilia to come out.
After waiting for a while and still not seeing Emilia, Oboka couldn't help it.
"Charles, this is not going to be easy. There are so many reward hunters coming in and out around here. How can the two of us kidnap the fox girl?" Oboka whispered.
Upon hearing this, Charles immediately rolled his eyes at Oboka and said, "Hey, I'm also annoyed. Fighting here is tantamount to seeking death... Didn't the mayor ask you to bring a few more people? Why did you come alone?"
"I wanted to, too. I couldn't find anyone at the last minute..."
The two people complained to each other, but the end result was the same: they were afraid of being beaten and did not dare to go forward.
After a while, Charles came up with an idea. He thought that the two of them could first lie in ambush near Emilia's house and then take action after Emilia returned home.
Moreover, Charles recently got a "good thing". He told Oboka that as long as Emilia was injected with an injection, they could take turns to have fun at least once tonight, and then take the person to the mayor.
Oboka understood what he meant and smiled a lewd smile, with vegetable leaves stained on his yellow teeth. But after a few seconds, his fear took over again.
"Of course I can...but I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the mayor if I report back late..." Oboka had just suffered a similar loss, and his eyes, which were burned by cigarette butts, were still aching.
"Look at you, you're such a loser. How about this? I'll take the responsibility, but the credit will also be mine. Okay?"
"Hmm...that sounds like a good idea. Don't regret it."
"If you regret this, I'll show you how to eat poop while standing upside down! Let's go!"

At this time, at the west entrance of Sunny Town, a man and a horse just passed by.
The guarding soldiers had never seen such a strange scene. The man was carrying a large bag on his shoulder, and his horse was also carrying a large bag on its back. The two of them were running faster than each other and passed by them in a flash.
If the man was not a young man named Banning who was already very familiar with them, the soldiers would definitely stop such a strange guy and question him.
·
As the person involved, Jiang Ran actually didn't want to attract so much attention, but he really couldn't bear to put two large bags of materials on the back of the motorcycle.
On the other hand, after his own attributes have been greatly improved, Jiang Ran's carrying ability has become stronger than Xiao Moto's, and even his running speed is faster than Xiao Moto's.
Little Motorcycle therefore began to doubt his own value, but as a warhorse that never gives up, he quickly cheered up and decided to sneak out for some exercise without Banning knowing - this is a story for later.
Back to the point, Jiang Ran first deposited two large bags of materials for the Crimson Flame Flying Dragon at the equipment store. His old acquaintance, the craftsman, fainted three times after just taking a look at the contents.
However, Jiang Ran didn't have time to explain to him now. After the horse was stored, he first said to Xiao Moto, "Xiao Moto, you are already a mature warhorse. Go to the stable and store yourself."
After listening to this, Xiao Moto nodded and left in a cool manner.
Then, Jiang Ran rushed to the Mission Guild to confirm Emilia's safety. Fortunately, she was safe and there were no suspicious people around the Mission Guild.
(How come Charles is missing too...was he called back by the mayor?)
Jiang Ran stood outside the quest guild for a while and found that there were paid hunters patrolling in groups.
It seems that the advice he gave to Emilia has been implemented. No wonder Charles ran away. He was probably afraid of being caught.
Since Emilia was fine, Jiang Ran set off for Mayor Kilian's residence with peace of mind.
Jiang Ran had already understood Mayor Ji Lian's murderous intentions after he tortured the mercenary captain who had tried to kill him.
If the mayor is not eliminated, not only the survival of the mission union, but even the lives of Emilia and Oleg, the branch chiefs, will be in danger.
At this moment, the streets were filled with the aroma of various dinner dishes, but Jiang Ran no longer had time to eat. He ran quickly on the street, and with just one easy leap he could jump over the wall to take a shortcut. All this was to kill the mayor in his mansion before he could take action.
But just when Jiang Ran was about to arrive, the sky, which had already darkened, suddenly brightened again.
(……lightning?)
Jiang Ran subconsciously looked up and then could not move anymore.
In the dark and cloudy night sky, a terrifying huge claw mark tore through the sky. Black and red lightning wrapped around the claw mark, flashing continuously in the night.
The scene was as if a giant demon like a Titan was hiding behind the night, and was about to tear off the disguise of the night to reveal its true form.
(Is this... a natural phenomenon in the Prison Star World?)
Jiang Ran looked around and noticed that everyone else's expressions were filled with fear, not at all like they were witnessing a natural phenomenon. In their hearts, they were even more panicked, fearing that this was a demonic invasion.
So, Jiang Ran found an empty room on the middle floor and hid in it, then kept one eye out the window to observe the situation.
In the night sky, a giant claw mark tore the sky like a canvas, creating a crack. Within the crack, a strange and psychedelic light flickered, seemingly leading to another place.
A few seconds later, a figure covered with huge dragon wings emerged from the crack and flew straight towards Sunny Town.
