# Chapter 1144: The Ninjas' Great Sneak Attack!
The bright moon hung in the sky, with stars scattered everywhere.
Perhaps it was due to the lack of industrial pollution.
The night on the Falmart Continent was breathtakingly beautiful.
The radiance of the stars and moon was so bright that no other lighting equipment was needed; it was enough to make every corner of the world shimmer with silver light.
However.
Rondel City, as the most technologically advanced magic city in this world's civilization.
Streetlights emitting a soft glow stood on the streets and alleys.
Like silent guards, they dispelled the surrounding darkness.
In Room 301 on the second floor of the Elf Inn.
Louise and Hiraga Saito, the young couple, were sleeping soundly on a bed as usual.
During the day, they had planned to follow Sage Cato to the Hanti Temple in the north after waking up the next day.
Although Rory wasn't there, they figured the other party would give Cato some face, right?
They had to try no matter what.
If that didn't work, they would go find Loli Saint.
In his sleep, Hiraga Saito's hand occasionally stroked Louise's petite body.
At this moment, he actually showed a 'regretful' expression and mumbled something inaudible in his dream.
"Saito... what kind of expression is that?!"
In another building about a kilometer away from the inn.
Louise's face was livid as she gripped her magic wand tightly, glaring angrily at Hiraga Saito, who looked embarrassed before her.
Originally, she was a little shy about showing her sleeping posture to so many people.
But seeing Hiraga Saito's behavior, she immediately had a speculation in her heart, and this speculation made her very angry.
"You! You perverted dog! You must be missing Siesta, right? Right!"
"That's right, that's how it is, you usually like to hug her, just, just, just... just because her chest is bigger!"
The more Louise spoke, the more excited she became.
Anger was already evident on her pretty face.
The short staff in her hand also began to flash with electric light.
"Calm down! Louise! Now is not the time to talk about this, and that was fake!"
Hiraga Saito completely panicked when he saw this scene and quickly waved his hands, shouting to stop her.
"So noisy! I hate you the most!"
"You pervert! Idiot! You're really annoying! Is having big chests that good? I'm going to kill you!"
Just as Louise raised her magic wand, ready to unleash magic regardless of the consequences to teach her perverted familiar a good lesson, she found that her magic wand was suddenly taken away from behind her.
"Tabitha!"
"Louise, the combat is about to begin."
Tabitha calmly reminded Louise, who was looking at her with a puffed-up face.
"Hmph!"
Louise scanned the people present, turned her head Tsundere-ly, and stopped speaking.
At this moment, this place, which was called a room but was more like a hall.
A total of nine people and one rhyme dragon in human form were gathered here.
Besides the three of them.
There were also Kirche, Hodoriyu, Tiffania, Durga, Lelei, Rory Mercury, Irukuku, and the only male, Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji.
A virtual screen was floating in mid-air.
The screen feed showed the sleeping scene of the 'Louise' and 'Hiraga Saito' on the other side.
Of course, those weren't real people.
They were illusions created by Lelei using magic.
When they discussed during the day, they speculated that the World Government would not let Louise and the others go.
And there would definitely be more ninjas infiltrating this world, and even this Rondel City.
So they secretly set up a safehouse here.
Illusions were created for Louise and her group at the inn.
They also secretly instructed the inn's owner and employees to interact with the illusions normally.
Now, the entire Rondel City, although it appeared peaceful as usual on the surface.
But the Archmages led by the three Sages, Sage Magnus, Sage Cato, and Sage Mimochaza, were already on vigilance.
Even outside their safehouse.
There were twelve intelligence reconnaissance team members brought by Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, as well as one doctor-level magician and four master mages, providing overt and covert protection.
It is worth mentioning that although there are many mages of various levels in Rondel City, very few are skilled in combat.
Most mages prefer to research theoretical knowledge or develop magic they find interesting.
Only those who admire Sage Cato would specifically practice combat magic.
These people are generally called 'Linton School Mages'.
The Linton School is the magic style founded by Cato back then.
Of course, not being skilled in combat does not mean they have no combat ability.
Even an apprentice has mastered magic that can kill.
It's just that they require a certain spell time.
People like Lelei, who is still an apprentice but can instantly cast magic and whose magic level is not much worse than many doctors, are truly extremely rare.
"Will someone really attack us tonight?"
At this moment, Louise asked with some worry.
"I don't know, but didn't that ninja say before that their main mission this time is to take you back?"
Lelei said softly, leaning on her long staff.
"If no one comes, then we'll just sleep here."
"By the way, are you sure the Byakugan's range is one kilometer?"
Louise nodded seriously.
"I'm very sure. I heard those ninjas mention it back at the Schatten Gate Base."
"That's good."
Lelei breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
At this moment, the main gate was pushed open, and Dr. Hartley walked in quickly. Facing everyone's gaze, he said in a heavy tone:
"That ninja was rescued. Dr. Amato and the other three masters are all dead in the laboratory!"
The entire place immediately fell into dead silence.
Louise also nervously hugged Hiraga Saito's arm.
"They've made their move!" Tabitha said in a low voice.
The next moment, everyone's gaze was focused on the virtual screen.
In their opinion, those ninjas would definitely go there.
At that time, the mages who had been arranged nearby would step in to arrest them.
However, time passed little by little.
On the screen feed, there were still only the two people sleeping while hugging each other.
Thirty minutes later, Kirche, who was more impatient, couldn't help but speak: "That..."
But before he could finish, a series of dense gunshots rang out from outside!
This startled her, and she quickly stood behind the Salamander.
"Lelei, you protect them, I'll go take a look!"
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji's expression changed drastically.
He immediately picked up the Type 64 Automatic Rifle on his chest and ran out of the room.
Lelei also didn't hesitate and immediately used her staff to create a hemispherical magic barrier around everyone.
Outside the main gate downstairs.
Koumoto Akira, who was usually optimistic and liked to joke.
Was expressionlessly firing frantically at his comrade-in-arms beside him.
The muzzle flash of the Type 64 Automatic Rifle appeared exceptionally bright in the night.
Tomita Akira, Kurata Takeo, and Furuta Shun, who were closest to Koumoto Akira, were caught off guard and killed on the spot, without even having time to scream.
"What are you doing!"
"Are you crazy!"
Kuribayashi Shino, Kuwabara Souichirou, and others further away, after reacting, first found cover, then angrily shouted repeatedly.
However, Koumoto Akira on the opposite side remained silent and killed Nishina Tetsuya and Sasagawa Hayato, who were unable to dodge in time.
"Damn it!"
"Since that's the case, don't blame us!"
As the only woman present, Kuribayashi Shino gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
Using the fire support of the others, she leaped out from behind the wall.
After rolling twice on the ground to dodge the incoming bullets, she fired three shots, knocking the rifle out of Koumoto Akira's hand.
At the same time, she quickly rushed forward, intending to strike his head with the gunstock.
She wanted to capture Koumoto Akira and ask him why he did this!
And then, kill him with her own hands!
But the situation that followed shocked this woman, who was petite in stature but was the strongest in terms of individual strength.
Because Koumoto Akira in front of her actually threw away the rifle in his hand.
Then, using a very exquisite technique whose martial arts style she couldn't identify.
He not only blocked the gunstock she swung but also snatched it away smoothly, then quickly turned and used the bayonet attached to her gun to stab through her heart!
The entire process, in Kuribayashi Shino's eyes, was so smooth and fluid, even pleasing to the eye.
Obsessed with close-quarters combat, her first concern was not the pain in her chest.
But how the other party managed to do that move?
And how could Koumoto Akira be so powerful?
Just in the instant she met Koumoto Akira's gaze before dying, Kuribayashi Shino's mind suddenly realized.
This person in front of her might not be Koumoto Akira!
Because his gaze was too cold, too sharp!
In the very end, Kuribayashi Shino saw Koumoto Akira's back being hit by more than a dozen bullets consecutively.
Those shots were fired by Higashi Tatsuki, whose marksmanship was indeed good.
Kuribayashi Shino fell to the ground, dead, with her eyes wide open in disbelief. In front of her lay Koumoto Akira, who had been killed.
"What happened here?!"
Second Lieutenant Itami Yoji, who had rushed down, was stunned looking at the corpses of his teammates scattered on the ground.
He then urgently questioned Kuwabara Souichirou, Higashi Tatsuki, and the other three who were still alive.
"Kuribayashi!!!"
Kurokawa Mari, who was following closely behind him.
Seeing this scene, she panicked and rushed to Kuribayashi Shino's side to check her injuries.
But upon seeing the blood-stained bayonet inserted into her heart, she immediately covered her mouth in disbelief.
Not long after, mages appeared around them, attempting to use magic to treat them.
Although they didn't hold much hope in their hearts...
【Boom! Boom! Boom!】
Just then, flashes of explosive fire suddenly appeared in various parts of Rondel City, and a large number of houses and buildings were tragically destroyed.
The entire city descended into chaos almost instantly.
Citizens throughout the city were awakened from their sleep, staring dumbfounded at the firelight rising outside their windows.
This caused the mages hidden in the darkness to finally be unable to hold back and appear on the streets.
They exchanged blows with the ninjas who were wall climbing and eaves running, moving at high speed, and constantly creating explosions.
Magic bullets of various colors shot out from their magic wands, while the ninjas dodged with incredible agility.
However, the ninja side seemed to have no intention of engaging them frontally, but instead dodged and retreated, occasionally using Kunai with Explosive Tags attached to block the mages' approach.
Because the plan they had formulated was to cause more explosions and completely throw the mages in the city into turmoil.
For this purpose.
The ninjas had already used Clone Jutsu and Shadow Clone Jutsu to create numerous real and fake clones, cooperating with them to expand the range of the turmoil.
Therefore, in this short period of less than five minutes.
Rondel City was completely under attack from all sides.
Every direction seemed to have suffered a fierce enemy attack and bombardment.
Most of the citizens, who had been peaceful for hundreds of years, were completely stunned.
But since almost every family had a mage, their mindset was somewhat calmer.
At the same time.
Meteor-like beams of light appeared in the night sky.
That was the radiance of magic power from the tips of the staffs beneath the flying mages.
And they were basically all masters.
Because only masters were allowed to learn this flight magic.
Like fireworks blooming in the night sky, they flew towards various urban areas like heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
"I never expected those ninjas from the otherworld to dare launch such a large offensive!"
On the rooftop of the great hall.
Sage Magnus and Sage Mimochaza stood together, scanning the entire city's situation with solemn expressions.
"What do they want? Do they intend to defeat this city with nearly a hundred thousand mages?"
Sage Mimochaza, however, seemed lost in thought.
"I always feel like something is not right, but if they want to conquer this world, they do need to deal with us mages first."
"Could it be that they plan to capture Louise and suppress us at the same time?"
Sage Magnus's face showed anger upon hearing this:
"It seems we have been underestimated. Then let them see how terrifying the power of magic power is!"
【Boom!!!】
"Roar————"
But just as his words fell, a large cloud of white smoke suddenly exploded in the western direction of the city.
At the same time, a powerful and resonant roar penetrated through layers of smoke and echoed throughout the entire city.
The two sages and the mages responsible for guarding them immediately turned their heads to look, shocked to see a massive flame dragon, completely red, flapping its dragon wings and stirring up fierce winds and terrifying waves, blowing away all the surrounding white smoke.
An ancient adult flame dragon!!!
The next moment.
The flame dragon, estimated to be over fifty meters tall, opened its gaping maw and condensed dazzling firelight.
"Not good!"
Sage Magnus ignored everything else, stirring up the pale green whirlwind around him and soaring into the sky under everyone's gaze.
When he flew to a certain height, with the huge full moon behind him, he aimed his magic wand towards the flame dragon.
Instantly, as magic power surged.
A horizontally rotating tornado gale condensed in front of Sage Magnus.
At the same time, it fiercely blasted towards the flame dragon's location.
However, the distance between the two sides was too great. The fire pillar sprayed by the flame dragon had already landed in the city in front of it, and as its head turned, it drew a semicircle line of fire around it.
In an instant, the surging fire wave swallowed all the houses and streets along the way, killing an unknown number of people...
【Boom!!】
Not long after, the tornado gale, glowing with green light, descended from the sky like a spiral wind pillar.
It bombarded the flame dragon's massive body, forcefully sending it flying to the edge of the urban area.
Finally, it fell heavily onto the earth, raising a large cloud of thick smoke that soared into the sky.
At the same time.
The exploding gale also extinguished all the fiercely burning flame nearby.
There was no situation where fire gained power from the wind or wind aided the fire.
Because this was magic, and its effect basically depended on the user's will.
However.
Sage Magnus's powerful magic failed to cause significant damage to the flame dragon.
Because the dragon scales of this type of flame dragon are naturally highly resistant to magic.
Coupled with its physical strength, which is impenetrable by cold weapons.
That's why it has survived in this world for so long.
Although it's strange.
The explosion of a Rocket Launcher doesn't seem to be considered a magic attack to it.
That's why in the canon, it had an arm blown off...
"Damn it, do those guys from the otherworld really have no bottom line? Unforgivable!"
Sage Magnus was furious.
But he could only grit his teeth and face the flame dragon that was flying back towards him.
No matter what, he had to block it outside the city.
On the other side.
The 'safehouse' where Louise, Hiraga Saito, and the others were located, was also attacked by ninjas at this time...
