Magic Shop System

Chapter 111 - Who's More Cunning?



"Stop!" Elora cried, her eyes widened in shock and fear for her brother\'s safety. She could not bear to see him in such a condition either.

"Haha, if you want your brother, come, take him by yourself." Ish mocked and kicked Kadyn in the abdomen and pressed his feet on his head. While staring at their group with a mocking expression.

Elora gritted her teeth and stepped outside the shop. Others sighed and followed her. They could not let her go alone and fight with her enemies by herself. "Stay away from him!" she said with a cold tone. However, others just laughed; she was helpless, as she had no offensive spell and could not attack them even though her belly was full of fire. She wanted to burn them alive for what they had done to her brother, her face was red in anger.

"Hahaha, they are out!" a peal of laughter came from behind everyone, and Llyris the so-called second lord of House Wynner walked towards them, grinning. Beside him stood four more figures: two of them were middle-aged men while two looked rather old with white hair and beard, with weak looking bodies and frail skin. However, no one dared to look down at them, after all, they could stand side by side with Llyris. A top Rank 1 mage.

Llyris stared at the people in front of him mockingly and then his gaze stopped over Elora. "You should have listened to your elders, girl. Now, everyone would die just because of your stupidity."

"Release my brother!" Elora squealed at him. 

"Oh, you\'re talking about him," he pointed at the man on the ground, covered in blood, limbs broken and clothes tattered, twitching helplessly. Llyris grinned. "He is not your brother."

Everyone widened their eyes and stared once more toward the body on the ground. Elora snorted. "Do you think I\'m blind? He\'s my brother. Release him this instant!"

"Look again, and this time more carefully," the man chuckled as if he was looking at his most favourite play.

Elora\'s face clouded with confusion hearing his words and she once more looked at the body on the ground. Then Kadyn\'s figure started to vanish. "Wha-what\'s happening here?" everyone was baffled when they saw such a scene; in no time, Kadyn\'s entire body had vanished completely. There was nothing left in front of them, except cobblestones and dirt and grass here and there, and the people who kicked him just now also vanished. Everything was an illusion.

 At this moment, a man walked out from behind five Rank 1 mages. "What a disappointment." He shook his head. "You ask me to make a move by myself for just this bunch of clowns." His gaze roamed each of the figures in front of him.

 "Leader, where is that brat?" Llyris asked. "I can\'t find him."

 "I couldn\'t find him in the shop, or at least, my perception failed to detect him. Are you sure he is inside?" He looked at Llyris in confusion.

 "We\'ve confirmed it. He should be inside the shop." Llyris said with an uncertain expression. 

 "You can\'t even handle a single task decently," Enwyld Wynner snorted disdainfully at his brother\'s incompetence. Llyris flushed in embarrassment and clenched his fist into hatred as a vicious glare flash through his eyes. He had endured his big brother\'s mockery since young, but he could not do anything about it. After all he was the weaker one, and power was everything in this world. Furthermore, Enwyld was now House Leader. There was no match between them. So he swallowed his humiliation.

 "Anyways," Enwyld began, "Now, we have his sister, and according to what I\'ve heard from the rumours, he is very fond of her. He won\'t let her die like that, would he?"

 Their group chuckled as they peered at Elora and others as if they were nothing but lambs at the chopping board. Barret came out of his shock and shouted towards others. "This was a trap. Move inside, hurry!"

 "It\'s too late!" Llyris cackled and dashed towards them — ready to vent his anger on these poor souls — behind him were the other four Rank 1 mages. Only Enwyld remained behind, standing calmly, peering at the escaping party as if they were nothing but a herd of lambs, trying to escape from their terrible fate with the last effort.

 Llyris appeared behind Barret and punched his head. Others also did the same, trying to knock down everyone. However, as soon as they touched the bodies, their hands touched nothing and passed through them as if those bodies were made of fog. You can see, but can\'t touch. This development left them gobsmacked.

 Enwyld left stunned and frowned as he realised that something wasn\'t quite right and wanted to check out what was happening, but then stopped. He had felt something amiss and hurriedly backed away as if he had discovered something very frightening. His face was pale while his body drenched his sweat. He looked at his people and shouted. "This is a trap, leave, now!"

 Llyris and others stopped and glanced at Enwyld in confusion. However, they trusted their leader\'s instinct so they started to retreat. "Hahaha, now you\'ve already arrived you don\'t need to go back."

 Everyone felt a chill in their spines as soon as they heard this voice. Llyris recognised the speaker. "How could this be?!" he said in horror. "House Leader didn\'t sense you inside the shop! How could you escape from his senses when the entire shop is covered in formation?!" he asked with a pale face. Enwyld in the distance also felt his face going darker and darker and darker, at every passing second. He had just said that there was no one left inside the shop, now this man arrived. Wasn\'t it similar to slapping his face?

 "Oh, you people can play, so can I. How did you like the play?" Kadyn grinned as he looked at the shocked faces in front of him. He enjoyed this scenario quite a bit.

 "You\'re also a Formation Master like our House Leader?" as soon as Llyris said he shook his head. "No, that can\'t be, even if you are, you won\'t have such high attainment in formations at such a young age. How could you dupe our House Leader who is Rank 2 Formation Master? Impossible. What…"

As he was shouting at Kadyn, his surroundings started to change. To his complete horror, he realised that he was standing inside the shop with his four companions. "How is that possible!?" He said with a pale face, now fear started to appear in his eyes and gripping his heart. "We were inside an illusion all this time!"

"You aren\'t as dumb as you appear. You tried to lure my people outside the shop, but I have already modified the shop. It wasn\'t just extended to the gate of the shop but beyond, but you couldn\'t tell that, of course, due to illusion. " Kadyn applauded the man and nodded vigorously. However his heart was bleeding. Only he knew how many energy points he had wasted in this operation. "Now, you are in my hands. What should I do with you?" he grinned evilly as he glared at the five Rank 1 mages. This is a big fish.

"Humph! Don\'t be too arrogant, boy," an old man said. "Do you think that now we are inside your shop, we can\'t resist you?"

"Uh-huh," Kadyn nodded in reply, annoying them even further.

Without wasting time with him, they dashed towards the gate. However, when they reached it, the scene blurred in front of them and they appeared on the same spot where they started. "What is this?" Llyris demanded. "What the hell is happening?!" he was on the verge of crying now.

"This is my domain," replied Kadyn as he put his hands behind his back. "No one — and I mean no one — can leave from here without my permission. I\'m the king here. The sole ruler."

All of them gaped when they heard his words, but then Llyris scoffed, "Hmph, I\'ll see your power then. The King my foot, the sole ruler my ass." As he said he cast the spell — to his horror he realised that he could not feel his consciousness. He could not feel his mana, and he could not feel his Magic Rune!

"How\'s this possible?!" he tumbled back and fell on his arse. Others also tried and discovered the same peculiarity and their faces turned pale in terror. Now they were feeling a real horror.

Kadyn smiled at them. "Actually your plan was quite amazing. If anyone else was instead of me, you have completely duped him with that illusion trick of yours. However, it is as useless as cow dung if you want to use it in my shop. You won\'t be able to deceive a single fly, much less a human with two eyes, two ears and a large head on his shoulders." He shook his head. Then shouted without turning back. "Bring him out!"
