Magic With You

Arriving at the Crane Clan, one can see the enormous gate filled with arrogance. The guards wore pompous looks on their faces as even them become arrogant as time goes by. Crane Clan descendants are arrogant against the Nobilities lower than them while the guards show their arrogance on the normal people

They are the perfect example of being drown with power and forgetting that for every tall mountain, there would always be another one that is taller. They will learn this in the hard way

On the City Lord's side, there are three people carrying the ice frozen Kryle. Unlike the Crane Clan's guards these three people doesn't have that arrogant look on their faces but instead they are confident. Why wouldn't they be confident? These three are all at the Magic Knight Rank!

There are lots of Magic Knights in the City but there are still big differences among them. These three are one of the tops amongst the Knights! They can even fight those special magicians like a Bloodline Mage!

The guards wore a startled look on their faces. They didn't recognize the City Lord or the three Knights beside him but how can they not recognize their own Young Master?

One of the guards quickly opened the gates and they stormed out to confront the people outside. "What do you think you are doing to the Young Master?" The guard said angrily but when Otto looked at him, he felt as if he was standing in the middle of a vast ice land. Coldness spread all over his body as his knees started to weaken. His body shuddered from the cold and he had a bad feeling about this

The City Lord wave his hand and shards of ice flew out from his hand. The ice shards have different targets but they all accurately pierced the guards' chest, killing them through their heart. Their bodies fell on the ground devoid of any life. These guards may not be a descendant of the Crane Clan but just one look at them was enough to determine that they behaved like their masters

It was no news in the Soaring Magic City that the Crane Clan are always arrogant and looking down at those weaker than them. However, the City Lord has a lot on his plate especially since he got poisoned. He can't possibly check on all the Nobility Clans. He can't stop them from being too arrogant or corrupt. All Nobles have dirt on them, if he only wants to retain the Clan that is clean, he might not have any nobility clans left on his City

Even then, exterminating a Noble Clan will give the others a warning. Although this is not a lifetime warning but for some time the Nobles would behave themselves

"Make sure that none of them will escape" Otto said to the three Knights on his side. The three nodded and two of them went around the Crane Clan to not let anyone escape

As the guards already opened the gates, the City Lord entered directly on it. He doesn't have to try any scheme or tactics. Crane Clan is just a Viscount Clan. They would at most have around six to eight Knights. A Rank 3 Magician can defeat that many Knights. Also, the City Lord is not alone. He also has three Knights with him

"Crane Clan time for your demise!" The loud voice of the City Lord echoed inside the Clan's manor igniting the anger of many people. The younger generations were so angry that smokes were coming out from their noses. These younger generations are the ones that was always pampered by the Clan and still hasn't experienced much of the world. That's why, they always thought that no one can do anything bad on them

Even the Elders were angered. Whoever dared to attack their Clan doesn't give them any face. The attacker even announced his presence. If he is powerful and decided to launch a sneak attack then he might deal some damage. However, him talking that loudly means that he is looking down at the Crane Clan! He is arrogant to think that he can deal with a powerful clan head on!

The members of the Clan went out from their mansion one by one, ready to teach the intruder some manners. This was especially to the youths who does not even have much power. Their wands appeared on their hands ready to cast the spell that they are the proudest of

There they saw only three people. One is an old man, the other was giving off the aura of a Knight and the last but not the least is their very own young master frozen in eyes!

"How dare you?!"

"You two are courting death!"

"You will never leave our clan alive!"

The youths who doesn't recognized the City Lord were fuming with anger. They are angered as their young master was harmed but they were angrier at the fact that they lose a lot of face because of this! For Nobles, their face is extremely important! Kryle being frozen like that was a slap on their Clan's faces

However, the Elders and the older generations that knows of the City Lord's appearance were terrified. They turned pale with their body trembling from fear. The City Lord isn't arrogant or make things too hard for other people, he can even be considered as kind. But him being kind doesn't mean he can't be merciless! The City Lord is like a sleeping giant, he won't meddle much on things but once he made a move mercy was not something on his vocabulary!

Kind when not angered but he's like an ice demon when needed be! That's why in normal times no one feared such a kind City Lord but once you angered him which is hard to do then you can only blame yourself for that

"It's good that a lot of you are present. Crane Clan, I shall punish you all for your arrogance and unbridled actions! Normally, I turned a blind eye on it. Too bad, this Young Master Kryle of yours dared to wreak havoc on the Gold Spring Restaurant not just once but twice!"

Originally, the Elders thinks that there was a way to appease the City Lord's anger but now hearing what Kryle did, they lose their hope. To normal people, Gold Spring Restaurant was owned by a powerful and influential figure in the City but they didn't know who the exact backing is. However, the higher echelons of Noble Clans are fully aware that the City Lord owned and love that restaurant

"C-City Lord, p-please have mercy on us!" One of the Elders pleaded which shocked the younger generations

"E-Elder what are you saying? Our Crane Clan will kill everyone who dared offend us!" One of the youths said angrily

Pak!

A slapping sound can be heard and the Elder closest to that youth slapped him. The youth cannot believe what happened and he stared at the Elder in disbelief. "E-Elder?"

The Elders thought that they raised the younger generations wrong. First, Kryle offended the City Lord and now the youths don't even understand their current situation. The Elders already pleaded without the other Elders stopping him, how can they not have realized things yet?

"Impudent! That is the City Lord you are talking about!" That Elder said while fuming in anger. All of these youths have the resources of the Clan yet they are this ignorant and stupid

"C-City Lord?" Now, all the youth's faces paled before they stared at Kryle with hostility. Before, they want to gain face by helping Kryle but now he was the one that pushed them on the abyss!

If Kryle can move and talk he would really be ashamed on himself for causing the might look like the destruction of their Clan.

"City Lord please punish Kryle, you can kill him if you want but please let our Crane Clan off. We will pay any price you want" another Elder said mercilessly. Since it was Kryle who put them in danger then they will sacrifice him for survival! Unfortunately, this only made the City Lord to look at him in disdain

This sort of lowly act was something the City Lord will not approve of

"[Ice Magic: Ice Giant's Fist!]" A Spell Circle appeared in front of the City Lord's open palm and from the circle a gigantic fist made entirely from ice appeared

The fist was two meters long and almost a meter wide. The fist smashed on the Elder that said such disdainful words and turned his head into a meat paste. This time Otto's attack didn't freeze anything causing blood, flesh and especially brain matter to spill on the ground of the Crane Clan

An ice that big and hard, how can it not reduce someone in a meat pulp? Mages that walk the path of body strengthening might survive that but a mage that has a normal physique cannot!

Kryle screamed inside him as he saw his Elder dying just like that. Remorse and regret started eating him. If his body was not completely frozen, he would surely cry all his tears out. Too bad that he cannot do anything now

"Attack!!" One of the Elders roared desperately and wished that they can kill the City Lord through combined attack. They have the numbers after all. Too bad, most are Magic Apprentices, some that are Magic Warriors and extremely few Magic Knights. If they have tens of Knights then even the City Lord has to mobilize his forces first

All sorts of magic from different elements flew towards the City Lord. The ones that can threaten him are the Knights' magic, fortunately there weren't that many of them

Otto took his magic wand from his spatial ring. It was a wand that looks as if it was entirely made from ice. It has a vine like ice intertwined on its body and a very sharp tip on the end. This wand is not a normal wand. The abilities of wand makers in the Enchanted Star Realm are mediocre. Their formulas can only make a wand that amplified one's spell by 10% but pass that then it was a matter of expensive materials

Even then, they can only improve a wand by a few percent. The City Lord's wand was made from countless expensive materials that he saved up for years just to have but it only amplified his spell by 14%!

For normal people it doesn't look worth it but for powerful Rank 3 Mages, even a single percent of difference in power might decide who will live and who will die!

"[Ice Magic: Ice Wall!]" The City Lord pointed his ice wand on the ground and a two meters wide and long wall of ice appeared to shield them from the colorful spells flying on their way

The tens of spells slamming on the ice wall caused large cracks to appear on it. Even the City Lord's defensive spell cannot take that many attacks but it was enough

Before the ice wall broke, Otto and the Knight on his side already moved away as to not let any attacks to land on them

The City Lord's Ice Giant's fist was still active and he used it to smash one of the Magic Warriors head. Cracking sounds entered the ears of the people around and another head was smashed to death. To become a Rank 3 Mage one of the requirements is a strong soul and the mages at the level can at least control two spells at a time!

The people with weaker will cannot take another gruesome sight and started vomiting on the spot. The smell of a smashed head assaulted their senses and they lose their will to fight

Those who can withstand the scene have grim expressions on their faces. They can only destroy the City Lord's protective spell because of their advantage in numbers. There are tens of them, almost a hundred.. But now maybe not even half can remain fighting. This pushed them deeper into the depths of hell
