Transmigrated Into the World of Magic and Swords-Chapter 232: Falling Into a Deadly Trap
Chapter 232: Falling Into a Deadly Trap
’Survival quest?’
Ren stopped running after reading the second mission.
’But the strongest among them is only at Master rank, so it should be easy for us to sa-’
His eyes widened as he thought of something.
’Don’t tell me...’
He suspected there was a trap because only a trap could prevent them from saving the soldiers.
As he noticed something was wrong, Althea had already stood before their enemies.
"Release the soldiers now!" she said with an authoritative tone.
All enemies turned to her.
The leader of the group, named Dorian, approached her bravely. "Did the Veneian kingdom send you?"
She didn’t answer his question and repeated her words. "I said release the soldiers now!"
The air grew heavy when she unleashed her 5-star aura, making it hard for some people to breathe.
At the same time, a female mage looked at Althea from mid-air.
She used magic to conceal her presence, so Ren and Althea could not sense her.
’Her behavior and voice sound familiar. Where did I hear it?’
Althea was wearing a black veil, so she could not recognize her identity right away.
’Wait.’
She remembered something.
"Haha." She laughed when she realized who she was.
’It seems like Commander Charles’ guess is correct.’
She flew toward the brown-haired mage immediately because she didn’t want the big fish to escape from their trap.
"Activate the formation now!" she commanded.
"But...but you must promise to release my family later." The brown-haired mage would lose his life once he activated the forbidden formation, so he wanted to make sure they would keep their promise.
"What do you mean by this? Do you think His Majesty will go back on his word?" she said coldly. "Activate the formation now!"
"A... alright." Right after he channeled his magic into the formation flag before him, a red light flared and instantly connected to the other flags.
Once all the flags shone brightly, a powerful barrier emerged, sealing off the entire area from the outside world.
"I hope...you keep...your word..." The brown-haired mage fell to the ground and died.
At the same time, Ren used the Lightning Movement skill to appear next to Althea. "Queen Althea, something is wrong. Let’s retreat first."
"What do you mea-" she stopped her words halfway when a red barrier suddenly appeared and isolated them from the outside world.
’A barrier?’
The area within a five-hundred-meter radius around them was now sealed off by the barrier.
’Why would they set up a barrier? Doesn’t that put them at a disadvantage?’
She still didn’t understand anything, so countless questions popped up in her mind.
"Hmm?" Ren finally knew that his guess was correct when he could not retrieve his sword from his space ring.
’I knew it! There is a trap in this place!’
Spiritual energy or mana was involved in retrieving weapons from space rings, so he could not interact with the ring’s storage space or retrieve his sword.
"I can’t use magic." Althea finally knew that they had fallen into their trap.
"I can’t use skills either." Ren responded, "This red barrier... it must be sealing our powers."
"Haha." Dorian laughed loudly. "Within this barrier, we are all just ordinary people. You won’t be able to use magic or skills here."
"No wonder all of them are warriors." Ren finally understood why their group had no mage.
"We are not your match outside, but here, you are at our mercy. Haha!" The blue-haired man believed they could kill Ren and Althea because they had the advantage of numbers.
The female mage, who was floating in mid-air and looking at them from outside the barrier, smirked.
’Today is the day of your death, crazy queen!’
She was sure Althea would lose her life in the fight because they had turned into ordinary people. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
"Goodbye, crazy queen. I hope you like our little gift." She left to carry out their next plan.
"Hey, woman! How about we get inside the house behind me and have some fun there? I will spare your life if you can satisfy me. Haha." Even though Dorian had not seen Althea’s face yet, he still had a dirty mind because he could see the shape of her body clearly.
Althea’s eyes gleamed with terrifying light as she stared at him. No one had ever insulted her like that in her life, so she smoldered with resentment.
"She belongs to me, old man." Ren wrapped his right arm around her slender waist and pulled her close to him. "Do you honestly think someone like her would waste her time on a washed-up thing like you?"
He continued mocking Dorian. "You are too old, too ugly, and just not worth it. I suggest you crawl back into whatever hole you came from before you embarrass yourself further."
Althea turned to him before finally covering her mouth and giggling happily.
’Not bad, Ren. Not bad!’
Even though his answer surprised her, she liked how he handled the situation.
Dorian gritted his teeth in anger when Ren insulted him. "KILL THEM!"
"Kill them!" his subordinates rushed toward them with weapons in hand.
Dorian didn’t attack them and remained in his position.
’I will fuck your girlfriend in front of your later.’
He already considered themselves the winner because, from his point of view, it was impossible for Ren and Althea to kill them.
After all, their numbers were sixty, and their powers were sealed, so the only thing they could rely on was their physical strength.
Despite being surrounded by many people, Althea and Ren didn’t panic.
They faced their enemies bravely and snatched their weapons with swift, ready to turn the tide with nothing but raw power and courage.
However, facing fifty-nine people was not easy, so they sustained injuries in the process of killing Dorian’s underlings.
*Slash...
Ren killed the brown-haired man by severing his head.
But at the same time, a red-haired man attacked him from behind.
Even though he managed to save himself, his back was wounded, causing his white T-shirt to turn red from his blood.
Althea’s situation was worse than his.
Even though her rank was higher, she was a mage, so her physique was weaker.
Combined with not being used to close-range combat like a warrior, it made it hard for her to deal with them.
Bang!
One of the enemies kicked her stomach hard, causing her to be thrown several meters back.
"Cough... Cough..." Blood splattered onto her veil as pain surged through her entire body.
The yellow-haired man didn’t attack her again and approached her with a lewd smile. "Women should not cover their faces with veils. Let me take it off and see what you are hiding."
But before he could remove her veil, Ren rushed toward him and pierced his heart from behind with a sword.
"Cough..." the yellow-haired man coughed up blood and it splattered onto the tip of Ren’s sword.
"She is not someone you can touch as you please." Ren twisted his sword before finally pulling it out and taking Althea’s right hand. "We can’t fight them directly. Let’s hide first."
She agreed instantly because they were outnumbered by their enemies.
"Chase them!" the green-haired man roared.
Ren took Althea to the bushes because it was the best place to hide and launch a surprise attack.
’Over there!’
He found a good place to hide.
"Sstt..." He signaled her to stay quiet when he saw three people approaching.
"Damn it! Where are they?" the black-haired man scanned his surroundings with an annoyed expression.
"I’m sure they are around here." the grey-haired man muttered. "Just where the hell are they?"
"Why are you so angry?" the pink-haired man said. "The barrier is up. They can’t escape from us."
"I’m pissed because that damn man kicked me in the face earlier," the black-haired man snapped. "I need to beat him up to vent this anger."
"Haha." The pink-haired man laughed. "Don’t worry. You will get your chance to beat him later."
When they let their guard down, Ren came out of his hiding place and swiftly severed the pink-haired man’s head.
The grey-haired man noticed him, but before he could warn the black-haired man, his head was severed from his body, dying with a silent gasp.
"Hey, do you think that woman is pretty? Based on her body, she seems like an attractive woman. Do you think we will get a taste of him later?" The black-haired man was facing the other way, so he was unaware that his friend had already died.
"She is very beautiful, but she is not someone a filthy bastard like you can lay a finger on." Ren, who stood behind him, sliced his neck.
’This is the price you pay for having filthy thoughts about her.’
His eyes were cold as he stared at the corpse.
Althea, who was hiding in the bushes and having overheard his words, smiled softly.
’He looks so cool just now.’
Her heart throbbed with happiness as she came out of her hiding place.
Ren took her left hand and led her to a better place. "Let’s go."
"Un." She glanced at their hands as she followed him.
The game of hide and seek continued.
Like before, Ren launched an attack when they let their guard down.
Sometimes, Althea helped him by becoming the bait, drawing their attention so that Ren could strike swiftly from behind.
Of course, not every surprise attack went as planned.
There were times when their surprise attack failed, and they were injured in the fight.
However, they always won in the end because they were better at making use of what was around them.
’Ten more people and we can save the soldiers.’
