Ben returned from his job on Mt. Hakobe to free the villagers. He didn't receive a challenge from the Vulcan's. They were strong monsters, but it seems his decision to use Sun Dragon Bomb as a surprise attack made the battle a lot easier.
The Vulcan's were injured, so their movements were rather sluggish. His usage of a despicable technique also worked very well. The crotch is the weakness of many living beings.
Ben could've prolonged the fight to gain more experience. But the priority was saving the kidnapped villagers. If he just needed to exterminate them, Ben would have a drawn out fight with the Vulcan's.
He drove on the road at a low speed to enjoy it. Bella also enjoyed the slow driving while drinking her milk. She is still addicted to milk and her daily consumption has increased to 30 bottles a day. Even he had no idea where that milk went.
Upon getting closer to the forest, Ben spotted a group in the distance. He took a careful look and noticed it was a robbery in progress. There were a few robbers dressed in black. They robbed some carriages that passed by the road.
"Robbery, huh? This road is far away from a town or village. This is the perfect place to commit a robbery." Ben said.
"Fight?" Bella asked him.
"Of course, we've already seen it occur, so we'll help. Furthermore, I can sense some mages there. They might put up a good fight." Ben answered excitedly.
Ben drove over to the site of the robbery and asked Bella to prepare her weapon. He drove slowly and a robber stopped him by blocking his path. Ben grinned and sped up to hit the robber.
The robber was startled and jumped out of the way. But he was still struck by the side of Ben's car and flew several meters away. Ben grinned and his car skidded to a stop.
"What a dumb-ass, trying to stop a car like that."
Ben and Bella exit the car and look at the robbers. They put their guard up after seeing their friend get struck by Ben's car. He slowly walked towards them with Bella sitting on his head.
"You. Why'd you hit him?" One of the robbers asked a stupid question.
"Because he got in the way." Ben replied back, tilting his head.
The robbers were fuming at his answer and got ready to attack. But then a man stopped them. Ben was able to sense that he was a mage.
"You guys are really stupid. Can't you see he has a magic vehicle? This brat is a mage. You're not going to be his opponent." The man said.
"Yeah, let us handle this." Another man added.
2 men and a woman step forward to confront Ben. They're mages, so they will fight Ben, who is also a mage. Ben sensed their magic power, and they're quite decent. They're stronger than the dark mages he fought a few weeks ago.
The rest of the robbers get away from the mages. They weren't interested in getting hit by stray spells. Ben also asked Bella to get some distance and support him if he needed help.
The 4 enemy mages prepare their spells. Ben also covered his feet in light magic and his hands with fire magic. He liked to cover his limbs with magic to enhance his power with low magic power.
Ben looked at the enemies' magic. The 1st man created a purple magic rope. The 2nd man's hands were covered in green liquid. The 3rd man controlled 11 blades that he carried on his back.
Then the woman got behind the 3 men and closed her eyes while she raised her hands. She raised her hands and her hair also floated up. All the men's eyes suddenly glow white at the same time.
Ben has no idea what just happened, so he asked A.I Chip to scan the magic his enemies were using. Then suddenly the 1st man threw his rope at Ben and tried to capture him. He leaped out of the way to dodge the rope, but some blades fly towards him.
Ben unsheathed his knife and parried all the blades. But the blades are moving around him, so he was forced to continue parrying. Then a ball of green liquid flew towards him, but he wasn't able to avoid it because of the blades.
The blades block his path to evade the green ball. So he was left with no choice but to destroy them all. Ben gathered his magic power and took a deep breath.
"Sun Dragon Fire Roar!" A jet of fire came out of his mouth.
The jet of fire destroyed the blade and green ball of liquid. It had a wider range than the Sun Dragon Roar and light roar. So Ben decided to use it to destroy all the blades and ball of liquid.
The blades' formation broke, while the green liquid evaporated. Before it evaporated, some droplets of green liquid fell onto the road and it sizzled. Ben was now aware that the green ball of liquid was acid, so he should avoid coming into contact with it.
The jet of fire continued heading towards the enemies. The 2nd mage created a wall of acid to block the roar as they take a few steps back. The fire hit the wall of acid and pushed it back. The acid started to evaporate, but the fire started to shrink.
The fire overpowered the wall of acid and evaporated it completely. The jet of fire didn't have any more power and it burned out.
Ben didn't wait for that and lunged forward to attack. The enemies anticipated this and they spread out to 3 directions. The woman was still hiding behind her comrade. She was behind the 2nd mage who used acid.
He had a hunch that the woman was important, so he singled her out. Ben rushed at the 2nd mage and woman. But then, a purple rope came out of the ground and snared his right foot.
"Shit!" Ben cursed.
The rope pulled his right foot back and made him fall on his face. Ben was quickly dragged back over to the 1st man. He wanted to grab the rope, but blades and acid come his way.
Ben had no choice but to avoid them by either rolling or jumping around. The rope then lifted him into the sky and spun him around in the air several times. Then the 1st mage controls the rope to slam him into the ground.
BAM*
Ben was slammed into the ground hard, but he can take it. The 1st mage wanted to do it again, but Ben grabbed a hold of the rope and burned it with hot plasma. Then he leaped clear.
Ben wasn't badly injured after slamming into the ground. This is due to the fact he was extremely durable now. This kind of attack wouldn't affect him.
He decided to attack the 1st mage because he has a rather troublesome magic. Ben quickly ran at him and the 1st mage ran off. The 2nd and 3rd mage also continued sending attacks at him.
Ben finally caught up with the 1st man and threw a punch. The 1st mage dodged the punch, so Ben threw another one, but the 1st mage kept dodging. Now Ben sent a barrage of attacks at the 1st mage.
Ben threw punches, kicks and other attacks thanks to everything he experienced as a soldier. However, the 1st mage kept dodging even when Ben attacked from a blind spot. It's like the mage had eyes everywhere.
'Eyes!? Don't tell me that woman's magic allows them to be connected. No wonder I wasn't able to see or even sense her magic.' Ben figured out what the woman's magic was.
Even so, he was excited with this discovery. He had never confronted someone who used this kind of magic.
"What an interesting magic." Ben grinned.
