296: They’re With Me

They’re With Me

Mag was astonished by this quick turn of events.1

One of the wolves had got stopped when its claws were less than half a meter from Mag's head; he had even smelled its stench, but he hadn't felt frightened—Mag Alex could have cut them down like dogs. However, he had been very wary since the wolf had been too strong for him to handle now.

He's a 10th-tier space magic caster all right! Mag thought. Maybe only he could have calmed the crowd down in such a short while. He was very happy that Novan had come and resolved this. This could have been a lot worse. I just hope this incident won't prevent the patrons from eating here.

Looks like I'm constantly attracting high-profile people, Mag thought. They can protect me, but on the flip side, I may attract unwanted attention because of them. Seems like keeping a low profile is out of the question for me right now. It's time to try a different way of doing this. People won't connect me with the dragon slayer, because they will find out that I'm a chef, an inventor, and a mathematician.

Of course, at the same time, I need to try to get strong enough to protect myself and Amy.

Even Sargeras was amazed at Novan's power; he didn't know what he had done. He found Novan even more formidable than Krassu.

His men were even more confused than he was. "What just happened, Boss?" Kil asked, flames still burning over his body.

Sargeras recovered from his shock quickly. "It's over. Put out your flames." He hid the chair behind him and smiled. It was hard to imagine that he had almost beaten a 7th-tier werewolf to death.

The other lava demons did as he said. They didn't know Novan, but they could tell he was incredibly strong.

Sally put Amy and Yabemiya back on the ground. The "space controller", Principal Novan, really lives up to his name. She looked at him in awe.

Although 10th-tier magic casters were rare, only Krassu, Urien, and Novan were famous across the continent.

Sally had heard a lot about them growing up. She had never thought she would meet all three of them here.

"Yes, it is," Krassu said to Novan, smiling.

"Principal Novan, what about them?" Brandli asked, pointing at Xixi, Lulu, and the lava demons who were pretending they had nothing to do with any of this. According to the law, they had to be taken in for questioning.

Novan was surprised when he glanced at Xixi's belly. "Tend to the wounded first. Do what you have to do."

Brandli nodded. "Yes, Principal Novan." He was not good at healing magic, so he asked Bob, who was at least able to dress the wounds, to do it.

"I'll take care of them," Urien said in his hoarse voice. Frost appeared under his feet and climbed over Lulu and Xixi, freezing their wounds. Their breaths were labored; they looked like they would faint any moment now, but they gazed lovingly at each other, tears welling up in their eyes.

Brandli was in a real predicament now; he didn't know whether he should take them in or not.

"They're with me," Krassu said, pointing at the lava demons. "Thank you for protecting my disciple, boys."

Barzel stopped when he heard this. He had planned to question Sargeras, although he had great admiration for him.

It was a standoff.

"Master Half-beard, Master Turtle, please save Sister Xixi and Big Bear!" Amy said in a worried voice.
