I regressed and became the Sword Ice King-Chapter 220 - - Arrived in the East 4
The two girls attempted to jump off when Raph suddenly grabbed one by her cloak, causing her to yelp in surprise, she spun around and grabbed the other, causing the same reaction from her.
He jumped into the air and threw them down with all his might, causing a sonic wave that exploded as their bodies slammed into the ground with great force.
He landed just next to Azby, who was fending off another one of these figures and quickly charged forward.
"Azby. I’ll take care of this, so get in quickly". He instructed as he grabbed the figure in the middle of her assault against Azby.
He suddenly sidestepped to the left, dodging a spear that dug into the sand with a whiff of power and flung the girl he held into the air and onto the ground with his brute force.
Her body slammed with a loud thud as the sound of bone cracking echoed while she yelped in pain
Azby nodded and quickly went to take control of the carriage, or what was left of it while the rest of the figures focused their attention on two people.
Most had charged towards Raph, while three others were trying hard to fend off Elsie.
Raph simply smiled, noticing their wide movements as they approached him with evident killing intent.
"Come".
Raph sidestepped to the left, dodging one that smashed into the ground next to him with a long sword. He raised his two fists in the air, in a boxing stance as the girl swung her blade through the air, leaving a curved trail in its wake as her precise control of the Sword sliced through the fabric of the atmosphere.

Raph sidestepped and walked backwards, dodging the attacks of the figure while the figure continued to approach him while swinging their blade.
It was a battle dance that seemed continuous like a flow, with one side attacking and the other fending, but at that moment, a second figure joined in with a spear, jumping into the skies and crashing down with a wooden spear aimed for Raph’s head.
Raph easily dodged when the first thrust her blade forward towards him in one fell swoop.
He imbued a concentrated aura around his fists and slammed them upwards, causing a reflux of energy to pulse in the air and pushing the figure backwards while a startled female yelp escaped her lips.
Raph took a step forward, but the second with the spear did not let him move any further. They pulled their spear from beneath Raph’s feet towards his face, causing him to take a step to the left while holding the spear.
He pulled it and the figure with it, and grabbed them by the face before slamming the figure into the ground with force suffused with concentrated aura.
The female muffled scream of pain was cut silent as they fell unconscious nearly immediately.
This was followed by an attack from the first, who screamed out as she charged at Raph in a frenzy.
She swung her blade diagonally, from top to bottom, in an attempt to slice Raph, but a stream of concentrated aura suddenly erupted out of his body and formed a dome, blocking the attack and causing a rebound force that pushed the girl backwards.
She yelped in surprise when Raph’s gaze suddenly shifted towards her while a line of white light trailed its movements.

A smirk formed on Raph’s face as he stood up and swung his fist wrapped in aura towards her abdomen, landing a devastating blow that cut her off from the world in a single motion.
A gust of wind exploded, followed by a wave of energy, causing the girl to fall to her knees a second later, dropping her sword and her body on the ground.
Raph glanced at the unconscious bodies of the figures and then at the Carriage that was halfway through the portal.
His brows arched in contemplation as he glanced behind to find the horse where Neuj and Rafi were bound safely standing alone on the spot it had been, but the two people that rode it seemed gone.
"....He’s gone…" he muttered as he glanced around to find two more unconscious bodies lying atop each other while Elsie was having a one-sided showdown with the last.
’....all of this, just to get him back? There’s more to him than meets the eye’. He thought as he approached the horse.
He continued to scan the environment around them, perhaps searching for a clue on the missing merchant and his servant girl, until he finally got to the horse.
It was at that moment that his eyes sparkled in surprise as he stared at a form of blue dust particles on the horse’s body.
’.....These are mana residues…did they teleport?’ He wondered.
Oftentimes, he would stumble upon such circumstances where his teammates in his past life had to teleport in times of great danger.
He could remember vividly how most soldiers were caught by demons and devils.
’The skills used by system-users tend to have a valid weak point’. He muttered as he touched the dust, causing a bit of it to stick to his finger.
’..They start as a beginner, and then you have to find a way to increase their mastery with time…’.
At the time, he had no idea how they went about it but now he did, and from the looks of it. ’This was done by an amateur…mana dust like this was more than enough to leave a trail’.
A small smile appeared on his lips when the sound of a female scream echoed, followed by footsteps that approached him.
"Shouldn’t we join the others?" Elsie asked, her gaze fixed on the maid that stood next to the portal, waiting for the both of them.
Raph glanced at her and then at the maid, before turning his attention to the unconscious female bodies. ".....Let’s go". He replied and walked towards the portal while she followed soon after.
It was only for a short moment, but they had been attacked by people from the town. It didn’t matter what their reason was, what mattered was that it happened and that left room for a conclusion.
’I can feel it’. He thought as he walked into the portal, while the familiar sensation of geographical warp suffused his body. ’This won’t be the last assault’.
Soon Elsie walked in as well, leaving the maid in front of the portal. She stood idly by for a moment while her cold, crimson gaze swept through the surroundings, and the unconscious bodies that laid on the floor.
Her gaze slowly turned cold as she clicked her tongue and walked into the portal, while a black tail swayed seductively behind her.
"What a shame," she said before the portal zipped closed and dispersed into the atmosphere.
A sudden and still silence diffused the air as the portal disappeared, leaving nothing but tj4 subtle signs of battle that ensued in the place.
It was during this tranquil moment that one of the figures that had been unconscious suddenly rose to her feet like a walking corpse.
The figure’s cloak had been ripped apart, revealing her face and expressions. Her gaze scanned around the atmosphere for a few seconds, before she clicked a tune with her tongue.
A few seconds passed with nothing happening, but soon, the unconscious bodies began to rise back up to their feet, one by one, following a certain pattern.
This continued until a sudden blue portal erupted out of thin air, while a few figures walked out of it.
The girls snapped their attention towards the man and three other females that were all too familiar and they quickly fell to their knees.
An aura of respect and reverence is etched in their very actions.
"Welcome back, Boss!" The girls chorused in unison as Neuj, Rafi and two other women stood side by side in front of eight kneeling girls.
Neuj glared at the building of the Cats guild, as a familiar sensation of anger brewed in his abdomen. "That was close". He muttered under his breath as his fists gripped tightly. ’The Cat guild….they nearly had me’. He thought as his gaze swept through the girls gathered.
"It is time we unify the Clans". He said with a husky breadth.
Rafi glanced at him with calm eyes and simply looked away. "Do you fear the cat guild that much?" She asked.
Neuj hesitated for a moment, perhaps contemplating his response, but since a while ago, he had already made up his mind on who the real threat was.
"No. It is Kael I fear". He replied with a dejected tone in his voice. "Whoever he is, Whatever he is. We can not let him free reign in our town. He is an uncertainty that must be gotten rid of for the sake of the town".
Neuj Rakarf, the Head of the Nightshade Merchant Group and the Master of the Calla Lily Clan.
"Let’s call in a Clan meeting".
