Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 72: Basic Magic Wand

'Huh?'

Along with the adventurer team members, Lucas was also surprised at the sudden appearance of a general knight without any noise.

'When did he come?'

This was the only thought in his head because he didn't feel the slightest presence of that knight until he spoke.

"Knight Sawyer, you are still alive?"

However, Reece and his team members were shocked when they saw the tier 1 general knight in front of them.

"I am still alive but you will die here today."

'Swoosh'

As soon as he finished his words, the Knight named Sawyer rushed towards the team members with a thin rank 4 sword in his head.

'Slash'

'Slash'

Even though tier 5 lesser knight and tier 1 general knight looked very close, the difference in their strength was huge.

A single tier 1 general knight could fight more than a dozen tier 5 lesser knights and still kill them all, not to mention, Reece and others were also exhausted after fighting a rank 4 spirit beast.

Within less than a minute, other than Reece and Harper, the remaining 10 team members of the Lightning squad got killed by the general knight.

"Why are you doing this? If you want it, we would have willingly given it to you."

Reece was very angry when he saw how the general knight killed his close friends and shouted at Sawyer.

"Haha"

However, Sawyer laughed when he heard Reece' words as he replied, "Do you really think I came here for the Shadow wyvern?"

After saying that, Sawyer slowly walked towards them as he continued saying, "Do you know why no one knows I am alive? Because I killed whoever saw me in this forest."

"But why?"

Reece and Harper were shocked at Sawyer's words; however, they didn't understand why he was doing that.

"Don't worry, since you are going to die anyway, I will tell you why. It was..."

"Puchi"

"....even if you are dying, do you think I will tell you the secrets of my Weapons pavilion?"

All of a sudden, Sawyer disappeared from his place and appeared in front of Harper with his sword inside Harper's shoulder.

'Aargh'

Harper cried in pain; however, he tried his best to control as he muttered something.

"Huh? Your reaction speed was good for a mage."

Sawyer was surprised at how Harper dodged his sword as he replied, "But you are going to die, anyway."

As soon as he finished his words, Sawyer pulled out his thin sword as he aimed for Harper's heart.

"Damn you."

However, Reece was already beside Sawyer, swinging his heavy sword.

'Clang'

Nevertheless, it was a piece of cake for Sawyer to block Reece's attack as he pushed Reece back just with his thin sword.

"Just because you didn't fail a single mission until now, doesn't mean you are invincible."

Sawyer kicked Harper who slammed into the tree as he moved towards Reece while saying those words.

"Roar"

However, just when he was about to kill Reece, there was a loud beast roar from the distance as black-coloured energy fell in between Sawyer and Reece.

"Huh? Another shadow wyvern?"

Sawyer was surprised; however, Reece revealed a slight smile as he rushed towards his brother who was hanging by the thread.

Soon, he poured a green-coloured potion before picking him up on his back and tried to run.

"Where are you going?"

However, Sawyer needed to kill them because they knew he was alive.

"Wind slash"

Sawyer swung his thin sword more than a dozen times creating green wind blades at Reece and Harper which made several cuts on them.

At the same time, it rendered them from running away as they fell to the ground.

"You stay here. I will kill this spirit beast and take care of you."

Soon, Sawyer focused on the rank 4 shadow wyvern.

…..

'Ding,

Mission name:- Help the adventurers.

Mission details:- Since the host is looking for strong Knights and Mages, it is finally time for him to save them and in return, they will swear their loyalty to you.

Mission reward:- Absolute loyalty of tier 5 lesser knight and a tier 5 lesser mage.

As for Lucas, he remained silent for the entire time as he watched how Sawyer completely dominated the fight.

Just when he silently wanted to leave his hiding place while the general knight was fighting the spirit beast, he got a mission and after checking the mission, he was tempted.

'Mission reward' was always what he got tempted for and moreover, when the reward was something he wanted, he would definitely complete the mission at any cost.

'At my current strength, I can't kill Sawyer; however, I can heal their injuries and help them escape from here.'

Even though he wanted to finish his mission, he was not a hot-head youth to rush to his death; instead, he started thinking about what he could do to complete the mission.

'Wait a second. I think I can make use of the last item from the sovereign shop.'

Suddenly, Lucas thought about the rank 3 random talisman in the sovereign shop.

'I hope I get a useful rank 3 talisman.'

With that thought in his mind, Lucas ordered the system, 'System, convert the 5000 gold coins to 50 sovereign points and buy the last item from this week's sovereign shop.'

Since he could convert the gold coins into sovereign points, Lucas converted the gold coins he got from looting the weapons pavilion's members.

Earlier, he had 60 sovereign points, from which he used 10 sovereign points to buy the basic magic wand leaving him with 50 sovereign points. He wanted to wait until he naturally gained 50 more sovereign points before buying that item.

However, since he was in need, he bought it without any hesitation.

'Ding,

The host bought a random rank 3 talisman. Please check your inventory.

Soon, he got the system notification as he hurriedly took it out to see the information.

'Hehe...looks like my luck is not bad.'

After seeing the use of the rank 3 talisman he got, Lucas felt confident in this mission as he slowly took a detour before reaching Reece and Harper.

Sawyer was busy fighting the rank 4 shadow wyvern and from the looks of it, Lucas was sure it would take some more time before any of them could win.

'I am here to help you. Keep quiet and move closer to the tree.'

Lucas whispered as he took the tree as his cover while transmitting his voice to Reece through telepathy.

Between the two brothers, only Reece was conscious and Lucas didn't want to be seen by Sawyer. So, he asked Reece to move closer to the tree.

'Huh?'

Reece was surprised to see a quasi-lesser knight and without any hesitation, he slowly dragged his brother and himself to the tree.

For him, Lucas was a ray of hope in his current situation. So, he didn't want to waste his time asking about Lucas and letting his brother die.

'How far do you think you will go like that?'

From the corner of his eyes, Sawyer saw Reece move towards the tree; however, he didn't bother as he knew Reece would not go more than 10 meters in his current situation.

'Damn it...this beast is more powerful than a regular low-level rank 4 spirit beast.'

There was another reason why he didn't care about them because the shadow wyvern was not letting him distract his focus and if he got distracted, he would receive a critical injury.

'Basic heal'

As for Lucas, he used the spell 'Basic heal' while using the basic magic wand.

'Ding,

Item name:- Basic magic wand.

Use:- 1) Decreases the chanting time by half for basic spells.

3) 10 percent increase in the effect of the basic spells.

2) 10 percent chance of getting full magic power spent for this spell.

Since it was only 10 sovereign points, Lucas bought it as he had to buy all the items to upgrade the sovereign shop.

Nevertheless, Lucas felt the magic wand is pretty useful for using basic spells and since he has more basic spells, he started using it.

Lucas continuously used the same spell four times and helped in healing both Harper and Reeces's injuries in 10 minutes.

'Sigh...now, I have only 6 magic points in my magic sea.'

Lucas shook his head because he could not use any spell with 6 magic points.

'Ding,

The host used 'Basic heal' and the 'Refund' effect of the basic magic wand is triggered and his magic sea will be refilled with 10 units of magic power.

However, just as he was worried about his empty magic sea, the system sent a notification that made him reveal an excited smile.

'Thank you, so much for healing our injuries.'

While he was surprised with the effect, Lucas heard Harper's weak voice.

'No problem.'

Lucas didn't directly ask about swearing their loyalty to him; instead, he revealed a slight smile on his face as he shook his head.

'Shall we run now while he is distracted by the spirit beast?'

Lucas didn't expect the 'basic heal' spell to work like magic on the injuries of both Harper and Reece. So, he suggested leaving that place.

Since the system said that he just had to save them from Sawyer, Lucas didn't want to confront him and if possible, he wanted to complete the mission without fighting Sawyer.

"Thanks for saving us, young master; however, we can't leave without avenging our dead brothers."

However, the next words of Reece and Harper made Lucas nearly fall to the ground.
