Chapter 3 Ido: I really don't know magic! I just know a little bit of domineering power~
"boom!"
As Uru finished speaking, a magic circle, entirely ice-blue, crystal clear, and adorned with snowflakes—a work of art in itself—immediately lit up in front of Uru's hands.
In an instant, a torrent of cold air roared out from the magic circle, freezing the hundreds of bandits in place, preventing them from daring to cross the line.
"No!"
"not good!"
Under the blowing of the cold wind, their minds, which had been clouded by the desire for money, gradually cooled down and began to awaken.
"We actually dare to challenge that infamous Uruguay? Are we insane?!"
The bandits stood there dumbfounded. After calming down, they realized how foolish they had been and all showed expressions of despair.
"...The Rose Garden!"
Uru gave the bandits no chance to regret their actions or beg for mercy; she confidently smiled and unleashed her magic.
In the blink of an eye, exquisite ice roses bloomed on the streets of the town, spreading for hundreds of meters until they covered the entire street.
"What a nice view."
The bandits who originally intended to attack Uru were captivated by the blooming ice roses, and in their daze, they transformed into lifelike ice sculptures.
"waste!"
"What a bunch of useless trash!"
"Over a hundred people couldn't handle a little girl?!"
Barclay, the bandit leader, cursed angrily after discovering that all his underlings, including the six-meter-tall monster beneath him, had been frozen solid by Uru, and prepared to turn and flee.
Yes, as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood!
As long as Barclay survives, he can find a way to recruit more followers and monster mounts.
"Trying to run away?"
Before Barclay could leave, Uru, like a ghost, appeared behind him first and questioned him coldly.
"Uru, you can't kill me!"
"Take a good look at the back of the mountain!"
"I have gathered members from several dark mage guilds, totaling over a thousand people, and they are all waiting for me there."
"If anything happens to me, they'll storm in!"
Barclay looked flustered; his lips were turning purple, but he still managed to threaten Uru.
"What did you say?!"
Uru was shocked. The back mountain was where Uru's family lived, and Ide and Susan were still there, not having entered the town.
"To tell you the truth, I am not an ordinary bandit! I am a key member of the Kingdom's resistance army."
"Uru, you possess such immense power; you shouldn't waste it in a remote mountain village. Join me! Let's overthrow this corrupt kingdom together!"
"With your strength joining us, I will surely become the new king."
"At that time, I can choose to share power with you and make you my queen..."
Before Princess Barclay could even utter the word "Princess," she saw a fist the size of a sandbag grow larger and larger in front of her.
"Bang!"
By the time Barclay reacted, he had already been sent flying by Uru's punch.
"It hurts!"
Barclay traced a graceful arc in the sky before landing on the cold snow. Clutching his bleeding, icy nose, he roared, "I've changed my mind, Uru! No man will like a violent woman like you."
However, before Barclay could finish speaking, he saw the townspeople surrounding him with farm tools.
"What are you doing?!"
Barclay broke out in a cold sweat and said nervously.
"What do you think we should do?"
The mayor tilted his head, his neck making a crisp "crackling" sound, showing an air of vigorous old age.
Is reconciliation still possible?
Seeing this, Barclay swallowed hard and looked at the 'fierce' townspeople present, saying this.
"Are you kidding me?"
The mayor sneered, and with a single glance, he gave the order. The able-bodied men in the village picked up their farm tools and swung them at Barclay.
"what!"
The next second, a piercing scream ripped through the sky.
"Susan!"
"Ido!!"
"Please make sure nothing happens to you."
On the other side, after learning that members of the Dark Mage Guild had appeared in the back mountain, Uru ran all the way to the back mountain. Her usually stern and cold face showed a rare hint of weakness and worry.
At the same time, Uru was also wondering if he had the strength to defeat a force of about a thousand mages.
"Um?"
However, when Uru arrived at the back of the mountain, she witnessed a scene that shocked her greatly.
All the thousand rebels that Barclay had gathered were lying on the ground, staggering and bleeding from all seven orifices.
Meanwhile, Ido, who should have been resting in bed, was now standing amidst the "mountain of corpses and sea of blood," holding a sharp blade in his hand. He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed, "Haha, it seems I'm really not in good shape right now. Even my Conqueror's Haki has weakened a bit."
"boom!"
The instant Ide finished speaking, a thousand-meter-high snow-capped mountain about five kilometers away from the group collapsed with a roar, turning into ruins.
"Have I been fooled?"
After a brief moment of shock, Uru's pretty face underwent a series of complex emotions, shifting from worry and shock to finally settling on anger.
"Yo!"
"Uru, you're back?"
At this moment, Id also noticed Uru's arrival. He turned to look at Uru and greeted him with a smile.
"Id, explain yourself!"
Before Id could finish speaking, Uru had already taken small, backward steps to stand in front of Id, forcefully rising on his tiptoes and grabbing Id's collar tightly, angrily demanding, "Tell me, what exactly is your purpose in going to such lengths to pretend to be a victim and get close to me?"
"..."
For a moment, Ide and Uru stood facing each other in the snow, both seemingly preparing their next words.
Wow~
When Susan stepped out of Uru's hut and saw the somewhat ambiguous scene before her, she smiled wryly and asked, "Was my timing inappropriate?"
"Cough cough."
Disturbed by Susan, Id and Uru realized that their actions were indeed somewhat ambiguous, and they both turned their heads away and coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.
"Since you saved Susan, I'll let bygones be bygones for what you did to me before."
Uru hesitated for a moment, then took the initiative to speak.
"I'm not lying to you."
"I really want to learn magic from you."
Id quickly explained.
"reason!!"
Uru turned to look at Id, a scrutinizing glint in his eyes.
"Do you need a reason to learn magic?"
Id frowned and said seriously, "If I had to give a reason, I don't know any magic at all."
"what?"
This time it was Uru's turn to be stunned.
