Chapter 288 - Collapse of the Ladros City: Great Teleportation Spell

A man with short gray hair was observing the battle in the sky above the Ladros City with sharp eyes. He had a thick beard and mustache with the same color as his hair. He was the City Lord of the Ladros City, John Mos Rinsy.

Even though that battle in the sky was fierce he still couldn't feel Bargan's energy. He could only feel the dense energy of his opponents. Well, he knew the reason why.

Normally, the mini sun that Bargan created would be enough to turn any ordinary people in the city into ashes, no, even D-rank and C-rank would die. But none of it happens.

Why?

Because Bargan was controlling his energy not to cause distraction on the city.

"Activate the city barrier. Bargan wouldn't be able to defeat those people if we got in his way." The city lord instructed his assistant. He then looked at the city which suffered a heavy blow from these people.

The city became a battlefield. The teachers of the Ladro Institute were working together to fight those people who were wearing black robes. Each one of the people wearing black robes possessed a strength greater than S-rank.

"Protecting citizens is our top priority. Squad One to Four go and help the citizens to evacuate in a safe place. Squad Five to Ten go and help the teachers in fighting those people that are wearing black robes." The city lord paused for a moment before he added, "I'll go too and commander of the city guards will come with me. The citizens need our strength at this moment."

Their opponents were strong so the forces of the Ladros City needed to work together. They also needed to contact the neighboring city to send reinforcement.

He knew it very well. The forces of the Ladro Institute weren't enough as some of the strong teachers followed Azrim to the Royal Capital.

They were short on people.

...

The ground continued to vibrate as the teachers of the Ladro Institute worked together to fight the seven-circle officer of the Seven Deadly Sins. Every moment a few citizens will get caught up in the battle and died just like that.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Even in the Ladro Institute Souta could feel the shockwaves of the battle around the city. Then, a familiar sound rang in his head.

*Ding!*

[Quest Triggered!]

Seven-circle officer(with blessing) = 80,000 exp, 8 skill points, and 30 free attribute points

Oi! Oi! This means that the Seven Deadly Sins sent out a large force to attack the Ladros City. Luckily, there's no eight-circle officer, or else it would become a disaster.

An eight-circle officer was the people of Seven Deadly Sins that could literally bring disaster in any land. They were dispatched if the Seven Deadly Sins were going to take down gods. Other than that, they were not going to show themselves in other missions.

"I just finished dealing with the nobles... These people really didn't want to give me a time to rest." Souta said as he gritted his teeth.

With his current strength, Souta wouldn't be able to fight five-circle officers and above. He could only fight the six-circle officers before because he drunk two monster potions. Even with that, he almost died at their hands.

'What are you going to do?' Saya asked him.

'Me? I'm going back to legion to organize our group.' Souta replied to her as he placed his hand on the handle of the vajra sword.

Suddenly, he saw a barrier slowly covered the entire city leaving Bargan and the other seven-circle officers on the outside. The defensive capabilities of this barrier were so high that it could last thirty minutes under the mad attack of a god-level powerhouse.

More than thirty monster orbs of a fourth-evolution monster were activated. The energy inside these monster orbs was used to create the barrier around the city.

This barrier wouldn't last that long. One day was the maximum time before the barrier drained all the energy in the monster orbs. This was for emergency use and the time has come to use it.

"This way Teacher Bargan would be able to fight those people without minding his surroundings," Souta muttered and he saw another barrier formed around the Ladro Institute.

"What the-" He widened his eyes as he looked at the barrier covering the institute. Black balls formed behind him and Souta launched himself in the sky.

Swoosh!

He thought that he would be able to get out of the barrier but he was wrong. He was too late. The Ladro Institute isolated itself and he was stocked inside the institute along with other students and teachers.

Or so he thought...

*Ding!*

[Barrier]: A group of people hijacked the barrier device of the Ladro Institute. They have some intention in the Ladro Institute.
