The Extra's Return

When the fire cyclone hit the great barrier, the defeated fire cyclone instantly spread everywhere. Fire droplets spit over the area around the inn. Some of the fire plumes hit the houses of ordinary citizens.

As a result, many ordinary people's houses were burned down. Because some houses were burned down, many screams suddenly came rushing into the air.

"Ahhh!"

"Arkkhh!"

"Arfgh!"

The terrifying screams flowed from one house to another like a musical orchestra.

Moments later, ordinary citizens who knew nothing were seen running out of their homes. They panicked for a while before they finally began to gather.

Perhaps it was because this area was quiet, so there were only a few people gathered.

Some were holding their children and some were just crying on the spot.

Was the person that was crying because his house was on fire? Or because a family member was burnt inside his house? I didn't know which was the right answer. All I knew was that most of them were panicking.

Only a few people still have common sense.

And they started chattering.

"What was happening? How could there be any big fire that suddenly caught and burned our house?"

"I don't know what the real reason was. But I think it was because of the magician over there."

One of them pointed towards the magician who had the name Duster.

When one of that people pointed at him, everyone else instantly realized what was happening.

"Isn't there already a prohibition law to prevent magicians from fighting in the middle of the city?"

They muttered while looking at Duster.

From the look in their eyes, they recognized Duster's identity through the robe and staff he had used.

Although he was being noticed and gossiped about by the ordinary citizens, he ignored them.

Duster focused in another direction.

Duster was busy opening his mouth and eyes wide like an idiot while watching Jeanne stickily.

"H-How can you resist my amazing magic spell?"

He unintentionally spoke with a stutter.

The target he spoke to was Jeanne.

However, seeing Jeanne put her knees on the ground, he immediately changed his expression. Her furrowed brows returned to their original position.

"Sigh. Even so, you must have run out of Mana. Although I slightly, very slightly, admire you, I should end this soon. But before I do that, I seem to have to clear the pebbles that were blocking the way first."

He glanced at the ordinary citizens who were gathered in a fairly safe-looking area, away from the flames and destroyed houses.

Looked like he finally got fed up too after hearing people chattering about him.

He flicked his ear as if it was tingling.

Probably because he was too lazy to do it with his own hands, he had his stupid slave do it.

"Kill them all!"

The moment the command came out of his mouth, his slave should have obeyed his command without arguing, but instead, the slave shook his head.

"I-I can't do it, sir. I'm willing to buy you as your slave not to kill innocent people, but to protect you."

"Are you a fool? Since when does a slave dare to disobey their master's orders?"

"E-Even though I'm a fool, I'm sorry that I can't do it, sir!"

"Hooo. You dare to argue?"

A frown appeared on Duster's face.

Suddenly he cast a magic spell. His spells were short, so he was quick to do so.

"...Fireball."

The magic he used turned out to be a fireball.

Sizzle! Boom!

He fired a fireball at his own slave.

The slave did not have time to respond properly. He only had time to put the shield in front of his body. But because he was so close, his shield was immediately thrown in the air. Then his body was thrown far back. His body was charred into charcoal with smoke billowing from his body.

"You stupid slave. If you obey my orders, I won't have to kill you. And I will also be able to save my Mana."

He continued by muttering, "This was the downside of having slaves in this day and age. In the past, a slave would have been automatically killed if he dared to disobey his master's orders."

"There was no other choice. I had to get my hands dirty to get rid of the gravel blocking the road over there, shit."

Without another word, Duster was ready to scorch the ordinary citizens.

Meanwhile, the ordinary citizens could only be frightened. Except for one fool who didn't understand their situation.

"Hey, he looks like he would be attacking us? What should we do?"

"You idiot! I've learned about the laws of this kingdom. It says that a magician cannot fight in the city. Moreover, if he dares to attack us, he will receive severe punishment."

One person from the crowd of ordinary citizens said with his chest up.

He calmed the others down

Wherever it was, there were bound to be people who boasted of their superficial knowledge. Without knowing that their knowledge was still shallow, they proudly show off what they know.

One of them had that trait.

He still believed that a magician would obey the law to not harm ordinary citizens.

Even though it was common knowledge that a magician was very arrogant, so they would do crazy actions and dare to defy the written laws of the kingdom.

Those ordinary citizens probably didn't know how bad most magicians were.

Indeed, almost no magician wants to deal with ordinary citizens because of their pride, so the response of one citizen was natural.

As a result of one citizen saying something about the law, other citizens also started muttering scornfully at the magician.

As a result of their foolishness, they had to face disaster.

"Fireball!"

A fireball flew towards them.

"Ahhhh! Stupid! Didn't you say the magician wouldn't attack us?"

"I-I don't know either, dammit!"

Their last sounds left in this world were just stupid words like that.

Slowly but surely, the fireball approached them.

Although they tried to run, the fireball's speed was faster. Had they not provoked the magician, perhaps they would have survived.

However, due to their stupidity, they had to accept their bad luck already.

Before they could run, the fireball hit them.

Kabooom!

As the fireball consumed their bodies, they burned violently. Embers engulfed their bodies without them being able to extinguish them.

Their screams echoed everywhere.

It was certain that their history was over.

However, their deaths did not come at the same time.

Some lasted for a long time, but others immediately fell silent as if their lives had been lost.

That's how easily human lives in this world are lost.

"Ahhhhh! He-help!!!"

"Arrgghh!!!"

The desperate voices of the few surviving ordinary citizens still echoed.

Anyone who hears their voices can definitely relate to their pain. Especially if you see them in person, not just through hearing their voices, you will also be concerned.

I was sure Jeanne also felt the same way.

I could faintly hear her sobbing voice. I could hear her slightly sobbing voice as she took a breath from her nose.

If you look from the front, you might be able to see that she had been shedding tears.

Was she going to save them?

However, I only saw her punching the ground without moving.

Was she unable to rise to her feet?

"W-what... happened to my body?"

I heard her mutter.

I could guess what was going on with her.

She couldn't move for sure because she had activated her new skills by accident. Berserk, Emotional Fuel, and Great Barrier skills.

As a result, when all the skills he had accidentally used had disappeared from his body, he was in that state.

All the skills he had activated must have consumed all the Mana in his Mana Core.

From behind, I could see sweat pouring out from the parts of her body that weren't covered like her neck and hands.

I can even see that the color of her skin, which was originally a smooth and beautiful white, has now become pale white. That was a sign that she had experienced the early symptoms of running out of Mana.

No matter how hard she tried to stand up, she still failed to do so.

She ended up just watching Duster.

He could hear Duster's mutterings of annoyance.

"Tsk! I didn't expect that it would expend quite so much Mana. What a waste of energy."

It turned out that it wasn't just Jeanne who was dripping with sweat, Duster over there was the same.

After muttering in annoyance, he spoke to Jeanne.

"Hahaha. Don't worry. Even if you stare at me with such a horrible gaze, I still have enough Mana to defeat a woman like you."

That's what he said.

But what I thought all along, which was I thought Jeanne wouldn't be able to stand up, turned out to be wrong all along.

As if the gods were giving Jeanne luck, she managed to convert the remaining Mana in her Mana Core into power for her body.

At first, Jeanne was seen getting up with her hands on her knees, but then she suddenly darted forward and launched a punch at Duster's face.

Pow!

Jeanne's fist hit him right in the face.

With that punch, she knocked him to the ground.

"Ku-thwack!"

Duster had blood coming out of his mouth as his head hit the ground.

"HOW DARE YOU KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE!!!"

With a horrifying look in her eyes, Jeanne screamed at the top of her lungs. Her eyelids widened until her eyeballs seemed to pop out of them.

"Wa-wait!"

Duster tried to say something.

However, Jeanne did not give him time to speak. She raised the fist that was originally planted on his face and once again delivered a powerful blow to his face.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Faced with Jeanne's barrage of punches, Duster, whose eyelids were swirling incoherently managed to raise his hands subconsciously to prevent Jeanne's punches.

At that moment, I, who had not been moving decided to make a move.

"That's enough. If you kill him, I'll kill these children too."

I tried to speak as calmly as possible.

The moment she heard my voice from behind her, Jeanne automatically stopped the barrage of punches on Duster's face.

Finally, Jeanne turned her head like a robot. And she managed to see me.
