VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

"You might have heard of me already, but allow me to introduce myself."

The bandits that she had beaten up vanished into thin air along with the barricade that was created by them.

The atmosphere around them changed, the window flow shifted, the calmness of the winds also became unstable for a moment, but that only lasted for three seconds.

-Crrr—ek!

With a shattering sound of glass, they felt the air pressure around them shifting. And when they blinked, someone they had never seen before personally was standing right in front of them.

"I'm the master of Moongold town's magic tower, Ryan Von Luliby. A (tier-4) Advanced magician, studying the magic of nature, blessed by the winds, and treading on the path of Preservation."

Long green hair that seemed to contain a magical glow, White mage clothing that at a glance could be apprised as a high value item, a face that was no less attractive than Elio's, surrounding air that gave off a magical, almost fantastical feel– this person before them, this noble looking man holding a tall magic staff, this strong individual of over the hundredth level…

"The hell are you doing here, you jerk?"

He was the materialistic bastard that she wanted to avoid and the person that she disliked even more than the librarian.

"Oho? Seems like you are one of those sharp tongued foreigners."

He smirked at her, and started approaching them with a unique but calm attitude.

"Anyway…"

He was walking with calm, slow steps. But, none of them noticed how or when he crossed over six meters in a blink of an eye, and appeared right beside Alex.

"There seems to be more interesting things here than I expected."

He looked inside the carriage, at Elio, at Misha, at Miss Rin, at the Slime, gecko, and the pretty bird. His deep green eyes were sparking, glowing with a unique light, indicating he was looking at them with his unique appraisal skill.

"Who would have thought-."

She could not react when he suddenly appeared beside her, but he made a mistake if he was thinking they were anything easy to deal with.

-Swish!

She instinctively swung her hand and a blade appeared in her hands out of her inventory.

"Woah."

It was no simple blade, it was coated with a lethal poison that could be fatal even to someone like him if it had even so much as touched his skin.

But it did not.

He vanished just like he had appeared beside her, and gained some distance from them.

"Aren't you a wild one?"

He smirked once again at them from a distance, but now, he knew he would not be able to deal with them.

"Stay here with Miu, Misha."

Elio came out of the carriage along with Az and Miss Rin.

Alex also took out a unique looking sword from her inventory that most definitely was an enchanted item.

Az knew the time for him to show his skills had arrived, so it also took out the magical staff that the mage tower master found the most fun.

"Is that a wand? Damn… just how much more fun is this going to be?"

"Sera."

[{ Yes, master. }]

This person, the mage tower master, someone who was said to be over (Level-100) did not come out of his sweet lab when the town where his tower was, was being attacked by a dark magician.

He was famous for being a materialistic bastard, actually he was infamous.

It was said that there was a time when he wiped out a village saying the commoners who lived there had disrespected him and were working with demons to tarnish the image of the nobility.

He was from a baron family, the lowest order nobles, and yet he had managed to climb to the position of a tower master in his late forties.

It was said that he did all kinds of experiments to look attractive and young like the actual mages from the dark novels do.

And it was said that if it was for his research, for the Preservation of his own self, he would go to any length, even accepting assisination tasks from the higher ranking lords.

"Kehehehe. When I sensed that distinct holy power, I did think some remnant of that wicked kingdom had crawled into my darling town.

But it was surprising even to me how that person was in fact not someone new, but someone who had been living right under my nose for so damn long~~."

The winds changed once again, and this time, they were much more violent and sharp than they had previously been.

"After knowing how my prize money was going away with the 'saviors' of the town, I felt extremely bad, you know?

I was heartbroken.

That bastard librarian was a hindrance, but thanks to some distraction, I was able to slip away from him, hehe."

Elio cast a magic barrier around them with a scroll, a Preservation spell of water element.

Then, while that mage was blabbering, he cast all the buffs that he could on the sword wielding Alex, and the longsword wielding Miss Rin.

"Do you know why I did not just kill all of you extras when I had the chance?" Find adventures on empire

Alex moved, used her sword and aimed at the point that she knew the mage will appear after using his wind magic.

But, even though she was on point, he was covered by a swirling wind that blocked her attack.

"I saw a pretty looking bird, and was momentarily awestruck~."

Miss Rin conjured her Holy power, wrapped it around her sword, and also used her movement technique to close the distance between him and the mage.

"Then, when you came inside of my illusion, I saw a unique looking sword with a strange girl that I could not figure out the strength of."

Elio used restriction spells, but they were pretty much useless against a mage that understood his magic on a deep level and could [Dismantle] it with just a drop of his Mana.

-Ooooooooooooong!

Even Az and Sera used their magic, their powerful magic, but even that was useless against someone who knew more magic than any of them combined.

"Then, I got curious."

He was not using any offensive spells.

He was just toying with all of them.

"How could a girl be anything normal when she is surrounded by all these people?"

-Oooooooooooong!

He was not showing it until now, but since the start, he was not aiming for any of them.

"You know what I noticed after that?"

"No!"

"Alex!"

"...!"

"A simple young girl was holding a Mana beast with her bare hands."

-Swiiiiiiiiiish…!

A sphere of wind flew to the carriage with downed horses, an afraid young girl, as well as a gecko that was not smiling anymore.

It was offensive magic, and it was aimed not to harm the girl, but to destroy everything else that was present around this girl.

"Miu."

Everything… including the little gecko friend that she was hugging with all the strength of her delicate life.
