"I guess the jig is up then." Grey sighed as he saw about thirty mages rushing towards them.
"Hold on sir!" Grey said with his hands raised up and the thirty men that were charging towards them suddenly stopped while the town's lord raised an eyebrow.
"Why do you want to attack us all of a sudden? Does it really matter if she is lord Cedric's daughter? Isn't it the town's deed you want? So just take it and let us go." Grey smiled sheepishly towards the town's lord.
"Do you take me for a fool? Haha!" The town's lord laughed. "You see… I already knew that she would come here along with some strong mages."
Charlotte and the men were suddenly shocked hearing what the town's lord said.
"Are you shocked by my information gathering?" The town's lord laughed. "I! The great lord Bale has outsmart the town of Kiten. You see, I knew that Cedric wouldn't give up Kiten so easily and I was told he would send some powerful mages to come rescue his son and here you all are."
"Told? By who?" The ice mage asked.
"Now now, if I were to snitch on my informant, then it won't be nice of me right? All you have to know is that the person is incredibly close to you." Bale smiled before he turned towards his mages. "Now! Will you attack them and bring me that female or should I kill you all?!"
The mages didn't wait to be told twice as they all activated their man and raised their hands about to unleash whatever spells they had.
'There's no way we can beat them all considering that after these thirty mages, there are twenty more plus the town's lord. I'm not even sure how strong he is but I know he is strong.' Grey thought as he surveyed the room.
"What do we do now?" The wind mage asked as he began conjuring wind around him.
"Since tactical planning didn't work because of a snitch, then we have to go with brute strength." Charlotte said.
"You guys wanted to know what my abilities were right? So how about I show it to you all." Grey smiled as all the thirty mages unleashed all their magic spells towards them as they could bolts of lightning, water and wind heading towards them.
"Earth magic! Earth wall!" Grey called out with a smile on his face and then a huge wall was raised in front of them blocking the magic spells heading their way not even damaging the wall a bit.
"Earth magic? And a strong one at that?!" The ice mage mumbled.
'Hmm! The wall isn't damaged which means they are all 1 star mages but still, their overwhelming numbers would prove to be troublesome for me.' Grey thought and then he looked at the people with him and waited a bit.
But the spells kept coming hitting at the wall strongly and slowly, it began to get chipped down.
"This wall isn't going to hold for long!" The ice mage said. "Any other plan on how to deal with them?"
"Yes! We put away our differences and work together." Grey said as he could see the wall almost crumbling down.
"Sure sure! Whatever! As long as we manage to get out of this situation and save my brother." Charlotte said.
"Very well then!" Grey said and then he put his hand down letting the wall fall.
The mages who saw the wall crumbling down, had smiles on their faces as they prepared to bombard them with spells but before they could, they all saw balls of fire heading towards them at tremendous speed and then crashing into them, it burnt some of the mages to ash.
"Fire magic! Fireball!" Grey said as his red hair was coming into view then his face as he stood there calmly looking at the remaining mages.
"You see lord Bale, I just wanted to get the idiotic kid there and leave here in peace but you had to attack huh." Grey said as he could see Bale break out in cold sweat.
"Hey! Who are you calling idiotic?! And aren't you a kid?" Max shouted.
"Didn't your dad teach you to respect your helpers?" Grey asked as he raised an eyebrow towards Max. "In this situation, I'm your helper and if you annoy me any further, then I'm leaving here without you."
Hearing the threat, Max quickly shut up and continued glaring at Grey.
"What are you doing the rest of you? Attack that brat!" Bale shouted.
"Not on our watch!" Charlotte shouted as water began surrounding her hands and then shooting it out, it crashed into a mage hitting him in the face and flinging across the room.
Then a sharp sound was heard and several more mages fell to their knees with blood spurting out of their necks. Then dozens of ice shards were seen crashing into more mages but those that were more skillful, managed to avoid them in time.
And then slowly, three individuals were seen standing beside Grey with their magic surrounding their hands ready for an attack.
'Woah! Dad got some pretty powerful people to come help me, I wonder what deal he struck with them.' Max thought.
"You guys are starting to piss me off now!" Bale shouted and then his mana began seeping out of him as fire erupted all around his body.
"Oh?! You are a fire mage too, interesting." Grey smiled.
"I want every single mage in this room to attack all of them but leave that red haired kid for me!" Bale shouted and then the twenty men that were standing around with the remaining mages all prepared to attack while Bale jumped up from his throne and landed in front of Grey while thrusting his palm that was blazing hot with fire all around it towards his abdomen.
