Reborn as God: The strongest system-Chapter 55 Crisis (1)
The bone spear was three meters long and for it to be that fast and even make that hole in the ground after killing seven people it was definitely a spell.
This alone is enough for Esdras to estimate the level of the opponent. However, he was actually slightly confused Robert actually hired a True mage to kill him?
No, that didn't make any sense. He did not have to think about this right now, he had to figure out how to survive.
He did not make a move because he didn't dare to, he wasn't scared of that one True mage but because there were three others with him releasing the same amount of mana.
A True mage was already a difficult opponent and against four of them, there was no hope at all. He could not think of a way out yet.
Moreover, there was something else that trouble it was that bone spear, which one of the four elements was that? Obviously it was not something that belongs to the magic system he knew of.
This was something bigger than he anticipated.
The four of them walked out of the woods, very slowly the fools around him, or in a state of shock but then they all took out their weapons, and started roaring.
"That's cute." 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
One of the four intruders said and suddenly a huge pressure pressed on everyone. It was him releasing his mana outwardly.
Yet that was enough to stifle any thoughts of resistance in the apprentices. Of course it was different for Esdras since he was a rank 2 as well.
But… he copied their reactions, holding his head and softly groaning.
The man walking in the front was bold and had sinister smile, as if he was enjoying himself very much. He had three bone necklaces around his neck they looked like small bones as if they belong to chicken or mice.
Esdras didn't waste any time he sneakily used his [Third eye] on all of them. This ability was very important to determine his foes levels and gouge some of their abilities.

He was indeed not an elemental mage, so these were the black mages he heard so much about. Coincidently, although everyone knew how infamous they were, the details about them was shrouded in mystery.
Although he was in an extremely dangerous situation for a fleeting moment, he felt a sense of excitement. As someone who read many novels and played many games he thought that the magic of this world was a little too basic.
But it looks like there was more to this world than he thought indeed, he had not spent much time in this world after all.
However, these choice thoughts came to an end as quickly as they sprung in his mind.
"All right, there's nothing here but small fries. I thought there was something serious since I sensed many people."
A slightly chubby housewife-looking woman remarked.
"Well, this is not fun let's go you guys don't have too much fun and quickly catch up with us."
A man, with a scar under his left eye, said, and departed with the chubby woman, leaving the bold man and a sleepy, looking young man.
Esdras was relieved to see the two of them go, and he hoped another one will go too. But he was not that lucky.
"Now then let us get this party started." The bald man said with a smile. " what are you guys still doing here? Are you frozen with fear? Do you want to die like this? I change my mind. I will let you all go. No come on you're free."
Esdras felt a chill in his heart at the sadistic smile on the bald man's lips. He was definitely not going to let them escape so easily.
"R-really? You're going to let us go?" one of the fools asked na?vely.
" oh yes, of course you have my word on it." The man nodded.
The apprentices exchange looks hesitating, but then they started to run everywhere. Esdras narrowed his eyes and did it move an inch.
Why everyone was running away he saw the bald man taking the three bones from his necklace and throwing them in the air randomly, however, there was also an incredible mana reaction.
[Bone shrapnel mayhem!]
Suddenly the three bones enlarged, but not too much not like the spear. Instead, they became slightly bigger than a fist, and started spinning in the air levitating with mana.
And then, with the screeching wind, the bones turned into devastating weapons of slaughter. With a terrifying speed and power behind each one, they tore through the backs of the flying apprentices.
Killing 20 apprentices in a single moment, the others all fell back freight in beyond their minds. Some of them started crying. Some of them begged for their parents. Others called to gods for help.
The bones then returned back to the man, who at first had a joyous expression, but then he became angry.
"What the fuck is this? Is this all you have?! Where is your will to survive! God, dammit! Back when I was young, I would never have given up tsk, tsk."
Esdras saw that attacked just now and realized that, despite his speed and in human agility and reflexes, he would not have been able to escape.
Perhaps he would not have been killed instantly, but he would have been injured heavily, especially if three of these bone spurs game at him at once.
Giving his back to them was absolutely not the right thing to do, making more distance between them, was basically helping them.
"Respected, sir!"
Hearing and unexpectedly clear and powerful voice, the bald man looked at one of the apprentices, who didn't escape. He had a flashy sword, and was kneeling on both his knees.
"Let me join you!"
