Miu had three skills.

One was called {Sixth sense}, a unique skill that very few Mana beasts possess.

It was a rare skill that gave the little gecko extremely precious ‘intuition’ and perception powers beyond the normal senses.

This skill was the reason it was able to navigate through the dungeon and sense many things even during their travels.

It was a great skill with immense potential so, with good enough time and right training, she knew she could teach the little creature how it could use this skill in a better manner.

The other two skills that it had were even more precious.

They were highly rare, almost unique skills that were found in a few mutants.

One of them was called {Spontaneous growth}, a skill that helped the creature in extreme situations where it would need to quickly adapt itself to the environment and the nature around it.

One of the reasons it was able to survive for so long even after being poisoned like that was most probably due to that skill.

It was a special skill as well, but it was not as special as the third skill it had.

-Oooooooooooong!

When the sphere of deadly winds came to them– ready to destroy the carriage, the horses, and even her friend– the golden spots and the crystal eyes of the little gecko started glowing with a unique light.

“Hmm?”

The spell that was flying towards them at a speed that not even Alex was able to react to was strangely stopped in its wake, a golden energy now circulating around it.

“Miu.”

“…?”

Misha was afraid of everything that was going on already, but, when she looked up at the friend that she was trying to protect in her embrace after perceiving that strange feeling, she was stunned.

The gecko that she had only ever seen smiling, playing, cheerful and devoid of any negativity was now seriously glaring at the strange person in the front.

Miu’s eyes were glowing as well.

And, Misha could feel there was something more to these glowing eyes.

“Fascinating…”

The Mage stopped for a moment, admiration present in his eyes.

“A creature capable of commanding nature!”

His eyes sparkled at this marvelous sight.

The spell that he had used just now was a natural spell, not an elemental spell.

He was controlling the very winds that exist in this nature, not the elemental powers of the wind element itself.

Even someone who understood this spell that he had crafted himself were to use their powers to [Dismantle] this spell, they would need to be a genius on the level of high mages.

But, a creature had just stopped his spell. And that too, with not the understanding of the spell or with brute force.

“Hahahaha! This is truly a jackpot!”

The creature used its skill, {Fragment of natural will}, and controlled the very nature in which the spell winds were traveling through.

[{ “Miu can’t do it consecutively.” }]

What it did was the same as controlling a spell that was cast by someone else.

It was not something simple, a spell was an execution– it was a result of a cause.

[{ “I’ll take the right. Alex, take the left, leave the front to Elio and the others.” }]

It was not even an elemental spell but a natural spell, so one could just guess how fascinating this instance would have been for a natural magic user like this bastard.

[{ “Move.” }]

-Swish!

Miu used the power that consumed a great amount of its own energy to save Misha. Something Misha did not understand yet.

She did not know what was going on, why this strange person was laughing like that.

She knew if her mom and big brother and sister were fighting this person and if he was trying to harm them, it most certainly was a dangerous person.

It was trying to harm them, and she could not do anything to help them.

She was afraid right now, and there was nothing she could help them with.

-Swash!

“Aren’t you bunch persistent~!”

Elio and Az helped them with buffs.

Sera was attacking with light elemental attacks, but her powers were limited as well.

Miss Rin was a war soldier and could use Holy energy, but even she was only a (Level-108) soldier.

She was not a knight, she was not even a proper swordsman who had learned the ways of a sword or practiced with it for years.

She was a soldier, and all she knew was how to kill, and how to survive.

Yet, right now, she was fighting like a knight to protect what she cherished more than her own life.

[{ “Miss Rin.” }]

Alex coordinated with the rest of them and used her unique daggers covered in lethal poison as well as the sword that could harm this person.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

Her sword techniques were not complete since she did not have her complete strengths, she was merely a (Level-35) player at the moment.

She was not someone that could use complex techniques, but even still, she used her years of fighting experience and with the help of the rest of them, she blocked the mage from casting any more spells at the carriage.

The horses might die, the only way of transportation they had right now might get destroyed, or the girl in the carriage might get badly hurt…

This bastard mage, he was trying to capture them now that he knew their true value.

Find more adventures on empire

Even if he did not catch the remnant of the Holy kingdom, he will be able to progress his research to a great degree with the help of the little girl and the little gecko alone.

If he gets the slime that could cast magic, he could earn some great funds as well.

And that bird… he wasn’t that interested in the bird anymore.

It was not that special compared to the rest of them.

“Kekekeke!”

Alex had used a high tier magic scroll of the Preservation series to cover the carriage so Misha was safe for now…

Breaking that barrier will not be easy even for him, and he knew that as well.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

With them blocking him, he was not going to get to the carriage anytime soon.

“Bastard!”

“It is futile~!”

-Oooooooooooooong!

But if the opponents were merely two baby foreigners, a fragile mother, a slime, and a white bird…

“Shit.”

“Hahaha! Just die~.”

He was not going to have any problems taking out the useless trash.
