Death Mage with an SS-Rank Talent-Chapter 295

Mary and Serena were thinking about what was happening, and that was when they heard a sound, a sound that was made when something was moving at a very high speed.

Whoosh!

A young boy materialised as if he had teleported there, but Serena knew that it was not actually teleportation. The boy’s speed was too high, which appeared as if he had teleported there.

If Mary were as strong as she is, she would have perceived the boy long before he appeared in front of the running man.

As soon as the boy appeared, he smashed the man’s face, knocking him out.

He then went to the man and first picked the watch that the man was wearing, "Hmm, just as I thought. You are sending signals when captured. No wonder the other was running faster than the previous two", the boy muttered.

The watch was blinking and making noise, which the man had forgotten to stop. He was rather busy running for his life than worrying about the alarm that alerted them about others being caught.

For the man, there was no time. That was the fourth alarm, which meant that only he remained. So, his mind was preoccupied with running away and saving his life, rather than thinking about stopping the alarm.

Even if he did, that would have been of no help. The alliance would have decoded everything about the watches, sooner or later. Now, the boy knew that they had a purpose, ahead of time, but not by too much.

Mary and Serena watched the scene as the boy easily smacked the man to the world of unconscious in just one strike. Both were awed by the performance.

"Mary, I feel that I have seen the boy somewhere, but can’t remember where", Serena asked.

"I recognise him. That’s Aaron Skyhart, last year’s tournament top ranker", Mary replied.

"Oh", Serena was surprised, "Yes, I remember now. I read that he was from Rock City, but I didn’t expect him to be here too, doing the patrol duty".

It should be known that in active zones of conflict, there are more missions, which could earn people a lot of rewards. Also, there would be a lot of high-ranking professionals, which means the chances of dying would be lower, as long as one follows the rules properly and doesn’t try to be a hero.

So, she was confused why the boy was here.

"Maybe he wanted to protect his family", she thought and didn’t think much of it.

"Master, Aaron wears the Patrol badge, and that means the man was probably doing something bad. Should we go and ask him if he needs any help?" Mary asked.

Serena thought for a second and nodded, "You can go and ask, but don’t mention anything about me. You are here alone", she said.

Mary nodded, and the cloak around her disappeared.

Aaron, who was tying up the man, turned around as he felt someone appear suddenly. He frowned for a second before he recognised who it was, and exhaled in relief.

He was someone with thousands of points in perception, and to be able to appear near like that without alerting him, that would be a cause for fear. Though the distance was still far away, it was still dangerous for him to let someone appear so near him.

"She may have gotten strong. I heard from Lyanna that she got a Human god as her master. So, I don’t think that this should be surprising, but this also teaches me that there are ways to counter everything in the world. So, no matter how strong I become, arrogance can lead to my death", Aaron thought to himself.

"Oh, Mary, it’s you. How have you been?" Aaron asked, seeing that Mary was walking towards him..

Though he was still a bit shy with girls, his shyness decreased as he grew, especially as he spent more time with his girls.

"Oh, you recognise me?" Mary asked in surprise.

When she created a fake name, she adjusted her appearance as well. Her dark hair is now turned into golden blonde.

"Yeah, I mean, I don’t remember you having golden hair, but I remember you. We studied in the same school for years, and you caused a commotion that is unforgettable during the awakening", Aaron chuckled.

"Oh, yeah. Anyway, who is this? Is he a criminal or a cultist?" Mary asked.

Aaron shook his head, "I have no clue".

"What? Then why are you arresting them?" Mary asked in a surprised tone. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Oh, when I was doing my usual patrol near the Goblin Dungeon, I saw a group of five. They were giving some wrong vibes. So, I started walking towards them and when they saw me, they ran, even when I identified myself, they ran and that too in different directions", Aaron said.

"That seems suspicious. Did you call for reinforcements?" she asked.

"Reinforcements? What use could they be? By the time they arrive, the group would have disappeared and mingled with the public in disguise", Aaron commented.

"It means that the other four escaped. It would have been nice if all were caught", Mary sighed.

Aaron looked at Mary and chuckled, "Who said they escaped?"

He then pointed to the man and said, "This is the fifth one".

Mary, who heard those words, was surprised, "Wait, you mean to tell me that you caught all five?"

"Yes, I caught all five, but had to temporarily store the other four away to hunt all, as having them on my back would slow me down. Speaking of which, its best to collect them and take them to the alliance base as soon as possible. If I delay and they escape, that would be bad", Aaron said.

Mary nodded, "Okay, see you later, if possible".

"See you later", Aaron said as he grabbed the man and disappeared from the scene.

Alliance Base...Mayor’s Mansion...

"Hello, there is a delivery for you", Aaron said as he dropped the five bound guys near the receptionist.

The receptionist was shocked when he saw what he was seeing at the moment.
