My Magical System

273 Abysmal Protection

Whoosh~

A freezing night wind embraced him right after arriving.

“Dammit, it’s so cold.”

Eman muttered and hugged himself in reflex. As he gazed at the town below, he didn’t forget to quickly summon a thick coat and pants then wore it to warm his body.

Vwoop!

After zipping it, he pulled down the hood and let a sigh of relief escaped his mouth. Everytime he exhaled, white smoke came out of his mouth like he was smoking.

The Elder Dark Priest told him that the town was under attack by some monsters. He could truly sense the sombre atmosphere of the town.

However, at his current distance, his perception could not reach the town. But even without needing to perceive it using his perception ability, Eman could already tell that there was something going on.

“My lord, thanks for bringing us along—”

.....

“Right my—”

Whoosh~

Errr…

Before Azure and Amber could finish what they were going to say, the two of them trembled and hugged themselves when a freezing wind welcomed them.

He brought them along with him because it might be a good opportunity to see their combat capabilities. Also, these two looked so decent and they behaved well.

Eman quickly summoned another pair of thick coats and pants then gave them each.

Unexpectedly, Amber refused, saying, “Wait, my lord. Let me try this.” Since she looked serious, Eman just nodded. “Okay…” he wondered what she was planning. He stored back the coats and pants inside his dimensional storage.

After his nod, Amber summoned magical energy. Then orange energy suddenly wrapped her body like a skin-tight suit. “It feels good now…” she said with a smile a few seconds later.

What—?! Eman was slack-jawed seeing that.

“Me too, sis!” Azure exclaimed.

Amber nodded and pointed her two hands at Azure, then after concentrating for a second, the same energy enveloped Azure’s whole body.

“Finally, it’s more comfortable now,” he said.

Among the three of them, only Eman looked like an oddball. He was the only one who was wearing these pairs of thick fabric.

“What skill is that?” Eman asked curiously.

After asking that, suddenly, he noticed an unusual aura emanating from Amber. She put her hand in front of her face.

Eman blinked her eyes twice as he looked at her with suspicion. He had a bad premonition with that gesture.

Amber then said, “I called this… Abysmal Protection of the Fire Sovereign, my lord,” with her eyes glowed briefly behind the gap of her fingers.

“Ha?”, was the only Eman could say. He could not believe it. This innocent-looking girl… how did she turn out like this?

Honestly, she was the last person he thought to be tinted by that curse.

Well… let just forget about it, he thought.

“Uhm, how long will the effect of that skill last?” He asked.

“One hour, my lord.”

“I see. That’s long enough. Can you help me too?”

“Of course, my lord!” After saying that, she hastily wrapped Eman in the same energy.

He was surprised. The cold sensation he felt just a moment ago had disappeared completely. His body was now covered in orange energy that glowed faintly.

He felt very comfortable.

After taking off his coat and pants, Eman equipped an arrow into his equipment slot for subclass. After doing that, his subclass then changed to [Hunter].

The skill [Eye of Scope] was now available to use. With this skill, he could zoom in his vision for 10x.

After activating the skill, the color of his eyes turned golden.

Eman then looked towards the town and observed it from afar. Even though it was dark, he could see clearly as though he was there.

“Oh, that’s a lot of monsters,” he muttered. He slightly narrowed his eyes before a grin creeped out on his mouth.

Beside him, he was unaware that Amber was very fascinated by his eyes.

Three parts of the town were under attack. He had no idea how long it had been since the monsters first attacked the town, but it looked like they managed to build some defense lines before the monsters could swarm inside.

However, looking at the current situation, two of those defense lines were already wrecked by the monsters. The last one was also under attack. At some part of the town, Eman noticed a rather more interesting thing.

He canceled his [Eye Of Scope] skill and glanced at the two companions beside him.

“Let’s go,” he said.

“Okay, my lord,” the two companions replied at the same time.

Meanwhile,

Mister Klaus and Zennie arrived at Mayor Gilbert’s office. Zennie came along with Mister Klaus to pay respect to the town’s mayor as a fellow noble.

“I see. So you’re the youngest daughter of the Rothsport family?” Mayor Gilbert directed his question at Zennie.

“Yes, Mayor Gilbert. My name is Zennie Rothsport. On behalf of my family, thanks for letting us shelter in this wonderful manor,” Zennie slightly bowed towards.

“Uh, don’t mind it. I can’t let anyone suffer in the hands of those beasts. Regardless, it’s a pity I can not entertain you all more than this.” He wished to talk more with Zennie, especially since she was a fellow noble. But, with their current situation, they are running out of time. Thus, Mayor Gilbert turned his gaze towards Klaus Smith.

Zennie understood him.

Without beating around the bush, “Mister Klaus, your reason for coming here is to deliver your goods, am I right?” Mayor Gilbert right away.

“That’s right,” Klaus nodded.

Hearing that, Mayor Gilbert was relieved. “I see. That’s good. Actually, some soldiers from the castle are…..” Mayor Gilbert then explained to them about Lieutenant Davis’ group.

“Ah I see, so that’s why the monster wasn’t able to swarm the town right away. We’re lucky that the Noble Lieutenant was here,” Klaus said.

“That’s right. However, at the moment, they’re running out of equipment supplies. I am hoping for your help.”

Hearing that, Mister Klaus became solemn all of a sudden.

“I’m sorry. Our goods were left in our personal carriage, and that carriage was left inside an alley.”

“Tell me where it is and I will ask some of my men to retrieve it—”

Rustle!

As they were talking, a sudden commotion from outside, broke their conversation.

Waahhh!

We’re under attack!!!
