My Magical System

Chapter 277 - 277 Awakening



277 Awakening

‘Is this my end?’ Rossbert thought with unwilling eyes.

All the memories of his childhood days suddenly flashed in his mind like a quick summary. He used to be an orphan boy in the village near the southern border.

That time, Little Rossbert along with another boy was sprinting towards the village to sell the herbs they collected that day.

With a basket on their backs that was half-filled with herbs, they quickened their footsteps.

The sun was nearing the western horizon and it was commonly known in their village that it was dangerous when there was no sun because feral beasts would come to wander around. Whoever they spot, they would attack them on the spot.

After a nonstop run, the two kids finally saw the canopy of the village in the distance.

“There!” Little Rossbert pointed to the village.

“Come on!” Said the other kid.

After grinning at each other, they continued moving forward, approaching the village.

.....

However, before getting close to the village, the two kids witnessed something unbelievable that halted their approach. They stopped on their feet with their eyes and mouth opened wide.

Ahead of them, at where the village was, a wide heavenly light descended along with a thunderous rumbling noise. The surroundings turned blindingly bright which was followed by a tremendous quake on the ground.

The two kids held their breaths as they struggled to stand straight.

A while later, the blinding light finally diminished. As they stared towards the same direction, Little Rossbert and his friend noticed the whole village had vanished.

Back to the present, Rossbert wondered why he had to be reminded about that time at this moment.

What was the connection? Or what was the purpose?

His life was in danger at this moment and for all the memories he had since childhood, why was that memory the one to appear in his mind at this very serious moment?

As he watched closely at the fast-approaching sword as though he was watching it in slow motion, Rossbert’s eyes suddenly showed a new glint.

‘Right. It must be because of that promise!’ He shouted in mind upon remembering an old promise from his one and only friend.

Before parting ways, they promised each other that one day they would unite again in that place.

“HAH!”

Golden energy suddenly erupted from Rossbert’s body. His eyes and mouth were gleaming as if beams of golden lights shot out from them. It was as if a sleeping beast inside him had awakened.

This ability, Rossbert called it [Awakening].

The sword that finally touched his skin bounced back as though it was deflected by an invisible shield. Everyone looked stupefied as they stared at Rossbert with wide eyes.

“What happened to him?” The leader asked while knitting his brows.

Fwoosh~

Suddenly, Rossbert reached out to the nearest opponent. He moved so fast that even the leader failed to follow his movement.

The enemy tried to struggle, but Rossbert effortlessly smashed him on the floor.

Bam!

Gah!

Seeing their comrade splattered on the floor like a chunk of meat, the others finally showed a reaction.

“Disperse!” The leader commanded.

He had no idea what had suddenly happened to their enemy, but he knew that it was dangerous to confront him head-on in this current strength. After hearing his command, his men quickly scattered around Rossbert.

“Now, fire range attacks!” The leader said next.

As the leader said, range attacks then flew toward Rossbert.

Swoosh! Fwoosh!

Rossbert’s mind was in a jumble at the moment. He felt dizzy, but he needed to fight. He needed to secure everyone’s safety before this power ran out or before he lost control of it. He crossed his arms to protect himself while at the same time letting his body catch all those attacks.

Different kinds of magical attacks were raining on him.

Bam! Bam! Boom!

Ugh!

The room shook and Rossbert groaned in pain. But he needed to persevere. If he moved an inch everyone behind him would get hit by the barrage of attacks, so Rossbert had to remain on his feet like a wall for everyone.

Thankfully, the mayor and Klaus helped get Zennie away before a wandering ball of energy hit the floor where she was lying a second ago. They moved closer to the window.

They were amazed by Rossbert’s strength. But it was a pity that he was up against multiple enemies.

Through the broken window, Klaus peeked below. He saw it was a 2-story building. Jumping at this height might break some of their bones without using reinforcement ability. But he could survive if he landed in the bushes. However, it wasn’t right for Zennie, especially in her current condition. They could not throw her below.

Moreover, it looks to him that the mayor wasn’t the type of person who was proficient in magic. So, this height would be dangerous to him either.

As he was contemplating, they suddenly heard a roar from Rossbert. Klaus quickly returned his gaze toward the battle.

He saw Rossbert on his knee.

‘This is bad! Rossbert is on his limit. No matter how strong Rossbert is, it is still hard for him to win this kind of battle.’ Klaus understood the severity of their situation.

Even with their advantage in this battle, the leader looked unhappy. He did not expect they would take so long in completing this supposedly simple mission.

Aside from that, he lost some of his men. The big bosses would surely get mad at him after this. He might even receive a harsh punishment later.

“Let’s finish this!”

The leader extended his arm again and aimed his palm at Rossbert.

“This is your en—”

‘Uh, wait. Maybe capturing him is more beneficial to the cult than killing him,’ the leader pondered.

After thinking that, “Wha—?!” Rossbert knitted his brows. He saw a dark magic circle materialize under Rossbert’s feet.

Then suddenly, from the magic circle, black chains came out and bound Roossbert’s feet.

‘What is this?!’ Rossbert thought.

The next second, the dark chains slithered all over his body and constrained him. He could not move!

Seeing the success of his ability, the leader looked satisfied. However, his smile froze right after witnessing what Rossbert did.

“What?! He broke the chains using his physical strength?”

The leader saw Rossbert tearing up the chains like they were normal chains only.
