Physics The Greatest Magic 72 Chapter 19: Assassin Attack

"Huh? What are you talking about? We're coming with you." Said Serena

"Serena's right john, You won't be able to take them all alone" Said Ariel

"Haha, i wouldn't dare, Alfreds coming with me."

"You want the guy who was recently poisoned and only just woke up to help you?" Asked Serena

The a.s.sa.s.sins or whatever they were, slowly approached the carriage

"Look, Their objective is eleanor, If she's near you two, she'll be fine, you can also help me from the inside of the carriage"

After i said that, i got off the carriage, Alfred who heard our conversation, put faith in our abilities on got off with me.

"Young man..." Muttered Alfred

"Yes?" I asked

"I cannot thank you enough... Be careful"

"of course" I replied with a smile

After that, we swapped sides, he went to the back of the carriage and i went to the front. He'll be able to protect eleanor and will be closer to her that way.

"EVERYONE THERE'S AN a.s.sa.s.sIN! STAY AWAY AND CALL FOR HELP!" I shouted out

We're in the middle of the road, even it's night, there are still many people around

"Did that boy just say a.s.sa.s.sin?"

"Those guys in cloaks, Aren't they from the dark guild?"

"Are there any adventures nearby!?"

Looks like it worked, random people were putting as they watched, some even called for help

One of the 5 guys who saw this said began to chant something and had his staff stretched out towards the spectators

The people who were watching noticed this and ran away, but at the very least it caused enough of a commotion, we just need to hold these guys off until help arrives

The man stopped chanting, Looks like it was just a bluff.

"Shadow Lance"

Shadow lances were formed and propelled straight at the people who hadn't left

"!?"

Right before it hit them an ice wall was formed in the path the ice lance was heading

It slowed down the lance but wasn't able to completely stop it. The lance penetrated through the wall

The man hastily looked around to see who formed the Ice wall, but i acted like i was surprised to see it

The people took the opportunity the ice wall was formed to run away.

"Oi, instead of looking for the one who did that, why don't we have a fight?" I asked

The men who surrounded the carriage instantly rushed at us, There were 2 on me and 2 on Alfred. While the magician just watched. Their faces were covered by the cloaks and i couldn't see them. Not that it mattered.

Alfred should be fine with Serena and Eleanor there but...

As i thought that, the two who were on me, simultaneously lept at me with daggers in hand.

I barely avoided the first swing which was diagonal by tilting my body and parried the second swing with my left dagger. I swung my dagger at him and he leapt back

Good, i'm stronger and faster... Beating them shouldn't be a problem...

As i thought that, the second a.s.sa.s.sin who i thought was going for me, went straight past me

"What?!" I unintentionally let out

d.a.m.n it, he's going straight for them, I don't have a choice.

Right before he reached the horses, I formed an Ice wall in front of him

"oh G.o.ddess of ice, form an ice wall and make this seem like a chant" I whispered

The a.s.sa.s.sin who had ignored me, stopped and turned around

Did i fool him? I whispered a few words and made them sound like a chant, was it believable..?

"If you wanna get to them, you'll have to go past me."

As i said that, i began to whisper a few random words again to make them seem like a chant, After that i propelled myself straight at him with Velox

he leapt to the side to dodge it but right after he did, i cast velox Duplici and used wind to change my direction to the direction he jumped to

"!?"

I stretched out my dagger and pierced his leg. While blood began to slowly flow out, he swung his dagger at me, to get me to let go, I cast Glacio through the dagger and leapt back.

The glacio will freeze the wound, he won't die from it.

The other a.s.sa.s.sin just watched his teamate slowly freeze up as i began to whisper random words from a distance

"Oi... What's wrong with that kids magic..? He started chanting after and yet he's already freezing up..?" Muttered the a.s.sa.s.sin which i had ignored

"I-it won't stop spreading, H-Hel-" Said the a.s.sa.s.sin which I had hit with glacio as he tried breaking off the ice

Before the guy could finish, I propelled a glacies at his head and froze it

"Yikes, that's gotta hurt... You're next, right?" I asked as I looked towards the first a.s.sa.s.sin that attacked me

"How old are you, kid?" Asked the a.s.sa.s.sin

"..."

"Not going to talk i see... Guess i'll just make you."

"Big words." i said

"The guy you beat was still a noobie, don't let it get to you." Said the a.s.sa.s.sin

Right after he said that, he began to chant something

I could interrupt it by chanting faster, but that might seem unusual... Screw it, let's see what he has in store.

"Ventus agilitas" Translation: Wind Agility

Nothing happen, but i could feel wind being gathered on him... What's he planning..?

As i thought that he leapt at me,

"Wh" I unintentionally let out once i saw how fast he moved

he went straight at me, and swung his blade midair, a strand of my hair was cut.

His speed, increased... He closed the 10m gap between in us in a single second..?

As i was about to leap away from him, he swung his dagger at me again.

I dodged it by tilting my body and he swung his other dagger, which i parried. He continued to attack me nonstop and i was being pushed back, even with body reinforcement on it's highest.

Cuts began to appear all over my hands as we continued this exchange.

c.r.a.p... I won't be able to hold out for much longer... And he's not giving me any time to fake chant...

Should i just use chantless magic? I'm going to lose at this rate... d.a.m.n it!

The exchange was constantly draining my energy

"It's over." Said the man as he parried both of my daggers

My loosened grip caused both of my daggers to get flung away

I won't be able to avoid, do i use it..? No time to think, I have no choice

"Well done kid, but your luck ends here" Said the man as he raised his blade

Looks like i have no choice...

The man vertically swung his blade downwards aim straight at me and at the same moment i said "Scutum Glacies"

Ice was starting to form, but there wasn't enough time,

I was too careless..!

Right before his dagger sliced through little ice that been formed, he stopped.

I looked up to see what had happened and was shocked

In front of me stood a black shadow and it was shaped like a... person..?
