The fireball formed by Fire Magic began to materialize.
Magna suddenly stopped his movements. He noticed the commotion beside him and surveyed the blood-robed thieves and gathered villagers around him. "What's going on? Are they having a feast?"
"So lively?"
Luck heard Magna's words and also observed Scott, who was standing in the crowd holding a blood cup. "I have a feeling... we've stumbled upon something big."
Scott recognized them by the Black Bulls Squad' capes they wore, immediately knowing their identities. Although he was puzzled by the sudden appearance of Magic Knights here, the most important thing now was to eliminate them.
Observing his 'boss's' gaze, the thieves standing behind Luck and Magna began to act.
"Blood Copper Magic, Copper Rain Blades!"
Crimson copper blades, dense as rain, assaulted Luck and Magna. Luck's Magic perception sensed the danger. In an instant, he armed himself with armor constructed from Lightning Magic, and spherical lightning bolts, like glowing orbs wrapped in arcs, erupted from his hands.
The lightning dispersed the sharp copper blades.
With a flash of lightning, Luck instantly appeared beside the thief who had cast the Blood Copper Magic. He grabbed him by the neck, lifting him up, as violent lightning trembled in his hand. "Dressed like this, are you cultists?"
"Yay yay ~ What great Luck, I can have a huge fight!"
Luck had a smile on his face, his bright eyes scanning the figures in blood-patterned black robes around him. The person he was holding dropped to the ground, faint electric arcs trembling.
"I ~ really love to fight."
Although Magna hadn't fully processed the situation, he was already prepared to attack.
Dozens of thieves in blood-patterned red robes surged towards them, and several types of attack magic, varied in form, materialized in the air, indiscriminately attacking Luck and Magna.
These thieves had experience killing Magic Knights before, so encountering them again, they no longer had the initial panic. Moreover, this time there were only two of them; it was like... sheep entering a tiger's den.
But they didn't know one thing... these guys wearing the Black Bulls Squad' capes were fundamentally different from other ordinary Magic Knights.
"They're coming, they're coming!"
Luck shouted excitedly. Magna, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically serious: "Hey, Luck, stop playing around. These guys seem a little different from what we usually encounter. Be a bit more serious!"
Just as he was about to swing the baseball bat constructed from flames, Luck suddenly grabbed Magna's clothes.
"Eh? Ah ah! Luck, what are you doing, you bastard?!"
"Hehe... Go up for me."
Luck forcefully flung Magna high into the air, while he himself easily leaped, dodging the encircling magic. In the interval of his descent, rapid-fire lightning orbs condensed and burst forth from his hands.
Magna, having recovered, also swung his baseball bat. A fireball scattered into countless sparks, combining with the lightning orbs, and attacked the blood-robed thieves.
Fire and lightning intertwined, creating a dazzling display.
Most of the surrounding thieves were unable to dodge and were engulfed between the lightning orbs and the firelight. The few who reacted cast defensive magic, but they were shattered by the powerful fire and fell helplessly.
By the time Luck and Magna landed on the ground, the thieves who had surrounded them were already defeated.
Watching their performance, Scott realized that they were not ordinary Magic Knights. He picked up the long sword stuck in the ground, preparing to act himself, but a glance caught Goth's signal.
The direction of his finger was clearly... that group of villagers chasing power.
Scott understood his meaning, so he shouted loudly in the crowd: "The power of the blood cup is limited, and the number of people who can receive its baptism is also limited. Whoever among you wants to receive the blood cup's baptism now, go and kill those two Magic Knights for me!"
"Kill... Magic Knights?"
"Those two just dealt with so many of them. Now they want us to go? Isn't that sending us to our deaths?"
They retreated, too timid to move forward.
Scott snorted coldly. He clearly knew the psychology of these people. He spoke again: "What are you afraid of? They are only two people, and their Magic is limited. With so many of you, it's enough to wear them down."
"Besides, you are still Eldos Village villagers. As long as you stand united, they wouldn't dare to massacre the village!"
Scott raised his voice a little: "If anyone can be the first to injure them, I will baptize him first with the blood cup, and his future sons and daughters will also receive the blood cup's baptism free of charge."
The seeds of greed once again sprouted in the villagers' eyes.
Someone, to bolster morale, echoed Scott's words: "That's right, they are only two people, their Magic is limited, and with so many of us, we will definitely defeat them."
"Besides, they wouldn't dare to kill all of us!"
"..."
As the first person rushed towards Luck and Magna, one after another, people swarmed forward. Gradually, a dense crowd surged forward like fish in a tide.
Stones on the ground and wooden sticks from burning bonfires became their weapons.
The Magic Knights who protected people became their enemies to attack, and the tyrannical thieves became the objects of protection.
Scott and Goth stood still, watching the villagers surging towards the Magic Knights, their eyes full of smiles. 'Very good, very good ~ This is how it should be...'
In a trance, they already saw themselves, carrying countless Mages who had undergone the blood cup's baptism, conquering the Royal Capital and establishing a brand new kingdom!
"Hey, hey, hey, these are the villagers here, right? What's with this attitude? Are they coming to kill us?"
"Are you kidding? We are Magic Knights!" Magna muttered to Luck beside him. "What do we do now? Should we run first?"
Luck looked at the people surging towards him, his smile undiminished: "Haha ~ So many people?"
"Let's have a big fight, Magna!"
"It's going to be super fun."
Violent lightning gathered in his hands, electric arcs crackled and danced, and blue lightning orbs, rapid-fire lightning orbs, materialized!
Magna looked at Luck somewhat disbelievingly and asked, "Luck... you're not thinking of killing all of them, are you? They're the villagers here!"
"You can't do that."
"If we don't, only the two of us will die!"
Just as the two were hesitating, two blood-robed figures suddenly stood between them and the villagers. Bai En's Zan Yan was the first to be placed against the neck of the person at the very front.
His voice was somewhat cold: "Get out."
"Go back!"
The advancing crowd paused.
A clamor arose. Why would thieves stop them?
"What's going on?"
Scott immediately said coldly, "Kill them both, they are also Magic Knights!"
The crowd started to jeer, "Magic Knights? Kill him! For our baptism!"
"They wouldn't dare to kill all of us!"
The person whose neck was held by Bai En's sword swung the stone in his hand, smashing it fiercely towards Bai En's head. His eyes were full of mockery and greed.
In an instant, blood gushed... a head fell to the ground.
Bai En's face was stained with fresh blood. His voice was still cold, but with an added chilling quality: "I'll say it again, get out!"
Blood... the blood all over the ground sobered the villagers from their greed. They were afraid and dared not move forward.
To intimidate a pack of wild dogs, one must become a man-eating tiger, display one's might, so they will be afraid and scatter in panic...
