Chapter 496: Flames On The Horizon

Due to the speed of our ship, which was much higher in the calm waters of a normal sea, Marcos said that it would only take a few days to reach the port of the nearest city.

We all talked and decided to head to the Guilds as soon as we get to town so we'll get some basic general knowledge.

From the books I read and from what Vanessa and Nix had already told me, I knew that there were Guilds on all continents, besides that Guilds follow their own global rules, because of that the person's race or identity doesn't matter, the Guild he only needs to know that he is not a criminal and that he has real ability.

One thing that Marcos and Lilian said about our first destination on this continent was that it was a place heavily controlled by criminals.

This is because this port was used a lot for trade deals with the Morror Continent, often illegal trade which was why Marcos had come here several times before.

p<anda> I had time to talk to them because I left Freya in charge of the ship as from now on only monsters with SS Grade strength or less will spawn, and they won't spawn as often or with the same numbers. </anda>

Freya can take care of enemies like this with her bow and arrow as she quickly stays away.

With that time passed and we were getting closer, we would have arrived faster if it wasn't for the pirate ship we found on the way, they were very weak, so we left it to Lyra, Jana, and Samira to take care of them, they were just a few pirate boats.

Just as I imagined it was a quick job for them, but at least it still serves as an experience for them, but even though it was an easy job for them, Ivan was still paying close attention to his daughter.

Even if they were pirate ships I planned to let them go, but they must have grown weary due to the size of my big ship, but that was foolish since they didn't stop to consider the strength of the people on the ship.

Killing these idiots was quick, but we still had things to do like stealing their boats, I asked Layla to use her space magic to guard one boat at a time before taking it to the Dungeon to leave it there while I went back to get the others.

Everything was going well, I was finally able to go fishing again with my friends and enjoy the starry night sky.

I thought everything was going well, after what we passed on the way here some SS Grade monsters and pirates were nothing to worry about or consider.

But by the time we were a few hours from reaching the harbor, it was just dark and I could have sworn I saw a burst of fire on the horizon from a direction where none of the three Suns passed.

When we were a little closer I could see the city skyline from afar, but what caught my attention were the orange and red colors I could see coming from the city skyline in the distance.

At first, I didn't think of anything, but the closer we got as time went on, the easier it became to see that those orange and red lights were caused by the fire.

The city is on fire, I didn't understand the reason for this, and I sent Layla to fly over the city without attracting attention while I shared her vision.

With Layla's speed she quickly arrived in the city, so using her eyes I could see a half-destroyed city, people screaming and blood.

Those who were fighting were soldiers wearing very similar armor all over the city, the fire seems to have been mainly caused by mages who were still fighting casting spells at each other, one was a bald red skinned Demon and the other was a red rune shining all over the body.

From what little I'm observing they seem to be around Grade SSS, but what impressed me was the way the two fought using only magic, they didn't approach each other, it looks like a fight between standard mages that I've seen in several games on my old world.

Come to think of it, the only Mage I fought was Farus, even King Makari was a magic swordsman, for some reason I had an image in my head that the Mages of this world also fought hand to hand, but that's wrong, I have to talk to Rakan later to learn more about how the Mages fight.

But the important thing is what is happening here, what surprised me is that the citizens are mostly hiding, I can see several boats that have left the harbor and remain close by as if they were waiting for this battle to end.

When Layla leaves town on the other side of town I see that there are many people waiting for a little way away, I see the children gathered in a place with a barrier around them, but as I am only using Layla's senses I am not able to tell what kind of barrier.

I also see old people and a lot of women, the men seem to be sharing around along with some women, I see some Fairies around, they seem to be on patrol, I hadn't noticed them until now, but I think I was paying more attention in the city destroyed and in battles.

I told Layla to go back to the ship, the other Fairies didn't notice her because she was hiding using her space element, but I can feel that she wants to participate in the battle and that's not going to happen.

I make her go back to the ship and then I go look for Orion who was training his Aura with Ragnar inside the Dungeon, I tell him to put on his monster cub form and I put him on my shoulder to help me hide my Aura in ways which I am not able to do yet.

There are Fairies in this town and I don't want them to come after me because they feel something in my Aura or presence that attracts them.

After that, I go after Lilian to ask what is happening, as she comes from this continent and has already said she knows this city, maybe she knows what is happening here.

But I must say this is a bad time to arrive, how unlucky do I have to be to arrive in the middle of a battle of this size when it's our first time on this continent?
