Chapter 131: A not so bad noble!
Jay was currently standing in front of five bandits with his body slightly injured and Vanica standing beside him looking at his body over and over.
"You rat! How dare you interrupt us?" One of the bandits shouted angrily.
"Rat?! How dare you call a noble like me a rat?!" Jay asked as the water around his hand began moving violently.
"What? You angry? Look at you! You are in no condition to fight and you want to play hero?" Another bandit asked.
"I'm feeling generous." The leader of the small group stepped forward with fire swirling around his hand. "If you leave here now, we won't kill you but if you still want to play hero, then we will bury you here and have our way with that beauty behind you."
"So what is it going to be?" Another bandit asked.
Jay looked behind him to see Vanica's teary eyes and her panicked expression then at his body which was slightly injured with blood dripping down his face.
"I will say." Jay said while clenching his hands so hard tight it began to turn white. "F*ck you all!"
"Very well! This will be quick." The bandit leader said and then shot out two quick shots of fireballs towards Jay but swinging his hand, three balls of water hit the fire extinguishing it.
"Water magic huh." The bandit said and then he snapped his fingers.
Two bandits quickly jumped forward and shot thin streams of lightning towards Jay who jumped around avoiding them one after the other by the skin of his teeth.
His saving grace was that their casting speed was a bit slow. After dodging the last bolt, he tripped and fell flat on his face with all his wounds getting reopened and his breath becoming ragged.
'Curses! My injured body is slowing me down.' he thought with his chest tightening in pain while glaring at the bandits that began laughing maniacally.
"Look at you! And you want to play the hero! Die here." The bandit leader said as fire blazed around his hand.
Shooting it forward, fireballs were seen heading Jay's way while he grit his teeth in anger.
'Darn! Move, body move! Move darn it!' he screamed at his body in anger while seeing the fireballs heading towards him but then at the last second, he saw a small wall that looked like the rubble of a building being raised in front of him blocking the fireball before falling back down.
Looking up, he could see Vanica standing there with her hands on her knees panting hard in exhaustion as the bandits looked at her angrily.
'That… lifting that was f*cking hard! How on Earth did I lift that on my own?! I guess seeing my savior about to die made it easier.' Vanica thought as she looked back at Jay and then swiftly raised it forward and a bright light was beginning to appear.
And then in five seconds, a white cloak of some kind appeared covering Jay's body totally making him glow softly.
"Healing creation magic! Healing cloak." Vanica called out and Jay could feel his body healing up, all his wounds closing and him regaining his strength again while the bandits seeing this, didn't want to let it happen.
"I wanted to have my way with you but if you will be a hindrance to our plans, then you have to die!" The bandit leader said as he raised his hands while on hearing the voice, Vanica turned around to see fireballs heading her way.
"Shit!" Vanica cursed in anger when she saw Jay push off quickly and lifted a small wall of water blocking the attack while holding Vanica in her arms shielding her from any sort of harm like a hero of some kind.
"You…" the bandit leader said in anger with his eyes narrowed down in frustration.
"I guess it is time for round two huh." Jay said as water began surrounding his hands and then he slowly pulled Vanica backwards behind him to shield her just in case.
And in a split second, the water surrounding his hand became a water blade of some kind shining bright.
"Enough of all these! Kill them all!" The bandit leader shouted and all the four bandits except the leader dashed forward at tremendous speed.
Lightning and Earth began surrounding their hands as they dashed forward with the Earth users shooting out spikes of earth towards Jay and the lightning users shooting out bolts of lightning one by one.
Moving swiftly and fluidly like a water of some kind, Jay was able to avoid the lightning bolts and for the Earth spikes, he swung his water blade swiftly breaking the spikes down but more came his way and he kept striking and hitting them down when he saw bolts of lightning heading his water.
Dancing around nimbly, he was able to avoid them but one bolt skimmed past his face stinging him slightly but he grit his teeth and moved forward more as he jumped forward while kicking a water platform beneath his feet propelling him forward.
Slashing his water blade from the side, he managed to slice a bandit's neck open before he nimbly jumped back avoiding a bolt of lightning and could see a spike of earth heading his way when he slammed his blade into it sending it flying back.
Flipping backwards, he landed on the ground smoothly with a slight frown on his face while the bandit leader had an annoyed expression on his face.
"You see the difference between us," Jay said as he saw the bandits heaving and panting in exhaustion after using their magic for too long. "The difference is that I'm a noble with a vast pool of mana while you all are simple peasants that can never match up to we nobles!"
The leader stepped forward while swinging his hands in a circular motion and fire was seen coming out forming a circle of some kind in the air out of fire while Jay stood rooted with a smile on his face.
'Time to surpass my limits again!' he screamed in his head as water began moving around him violently. The water was seen swirling and moving around him looking like a serpent moving around him but it was just water.
While the leader of the bandit turned towards the remaining three bandits. "Do you all still have enough mana?!" He asked while still moving his hands in a circular motion with the fire getting more and more violent.
The bandits nodded as they walked towards him and stood side by side with him. "Good! It's time for a combo attack." He said and lightning began crackling around two of the bandits' hands and earth began moving around the other hand.
"Now!" The bandit leader shouted and they all shot their magic out at once with spikes seen flying towards Jay while lightning magic swirled around the spike adding to its speed as it was moving faster and then the leader thrust his hands forward sending the wide circular fire forward looking like a disk of some kind.
"Water creation magic! Serpent of the sea!" Jay shouted as he could see the attack closing in when the water surrounding him moved and immediately took the form of a huge serpent that slammed into the attacks hitting them away with one of its horns breaking and before the bandits could do anything, the snake slammed into them lifting and slamming them into the ground hard knocking the total air out of their mouths.
"You… you did it!" Vanica exclaimed with excitement showing on her face as she almost jumped up.
"I… I really did. I surpassed my lim…" Jay was about to say when his body was seen falling forward. Vanica, seeing this, quickly ran forward and was about to help him when his face slammed into her chest area and he lay there unmoving while Vanica had her face heat up red in embarrassment at the awkward position they were in currently.
'I… I guess he really pushed past his limits to save me so he deserves this much. I guess not all nobles are bad people.' She thought in embarrassment as she tried to figure how to help Jay so they could leave where they were before another trouble comes their way.
Unknown to them that no place was safe as a huge battle was about to occur in the centre of the town between Grey and the boss of the bandits.
