After dropping down from the wind bird, Scarlet was seen walking around towards where Grey had said he sensed mana and life force from. She was seen speeding towards the place with her hands behind her back spewing fire and looking more like a rocket heading there but not as fast as when they were on the wind bird. "That peasant, how dare he command me?! If it wasn't for the sake of the mission, I would have taught him a good lesson." Scarlet said as she could see some buildings burning slightly ahead of her. 'But can I even do anything to him though?' she thought back to when he had summoned the wind bird in an instant a month ago and then back at the assessment when he had defeated his opponent swiftly. Finally, she had arrived at where she was headed and she came to a halt and could be seen walking around the burning buildings while some civilians were running away trying their best to get to safety. "Head west from here!" Scarlet said as he led the civilians away from the burning buildings while she was seen walking forward a bit and then looking down on the ground, her mouth was left hanging at what she saw. There were about half a dozen dead bodies on the floor killed in the most gruesome way with parts of their limbs missing and some looked to have been burnt down alive. 'How cruel can these people be? Wait! Aren't they supposed to be normal bandits? Bandits are supposed to steal and take from the people not kill them so what the hell is this?' Scarlet thought as she passed by a burnt down building when she finally saw them. Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Look another one trying to escape!" A bandit shouted and in a split second, nine more appeared making them a total of ten bandits that had smirks on their faces after seeing Scarlet. "And where do you think you are going to pretty?" A bandit with a long scar on his face said as him along with the rest were walking forward with slow steady steps while Scarlet stayed rooted and kept looking at them with a glare. "I was bored of all these oldies and was craving a young blood and now, my wish is granted. Oh I'm going to have so much fun with you beautiful!" The scarred bandit said. 'It is obvious that that is the leader of this small group. Hearing his comments just wants to make me burn him to a crisp so bad.' she thought with anger while looking around. "What happened? Looking for an escape route?" The bandit asked and all of them laughed at once. "If it was the Scarlet of a month ago before I discovered magic could be used in another way, I would have tried to run away. But this new Scarlet, would burn you all to a crisp!" She shouted and a shape began forming hovering above her shoulder. And in half a minute, a medium sized dragon appeared with smoke coming out its nostrils and all its body including its wings was flammy with fire as Scarlet narrowed her eyes down looking at the bandits. "Prepare to burn in hell!" She shouted and she dashed forward with the dragon flying away from her shoulder and staying above. While she jumped up and shot out a dozen fireballs towards the bandits and then one of them jumped forward and raised an Earth wall in time blocking the fireball but then more came raining down and in a split second, the wall shattered. "Draggy!" Scarlet shouted and the dragon opened up its maws and breathed out a stream of fire towards the men and the bandit tried to raise an Earth wall but he was slow as the fire slammed into him burning him immediately to a crisp. "Wh… how is this possible?" the scarred bandit exclaimed as he saw Scarlet stare at them all with a dangerous expression on her face as she glared at them all. "One down, nine more to go." She said as she raised her hands up. 'Not only does my creation magic cast fire at twice the normal rate that I would, it also has double the damage and strength. And together with me, we are a dangerous combo!' she screamed in her head as she pushed forward with her hands behind her while the dragon opened up its maws preparing for an attack. "Enough of all these!" The scarred bandit said as he lifted his hand and then three consecutive shots of fire came out and was seen heading towards Scarlet while the other mages each shot out shots of lightning towards her. Swirling around, she managed to avoid the shots of fireballs and then for the lightning, she raised her hand and a wave of fire raised up blocking the lightning. Pushing her hands forward, the wave of fire pushed off towards the bandits that each jumped away avoiding it in time but then a stream of fire from the dragon burnt two of the bandits at once. "Three down, seven more to go!" Scarlet shouted as a huge ball of fire appeared beside her while the scarred bandit also created a huge ball of fire and at once, they shot it out cancelling each other out. And the remaining bandits shot out streams and bolts of lightning towards her. 'Shit! The lightning attribute is much faster!' she thought in her head as she narrowly avoided a lightning bolt by the skin of her teeth and then moving back, another bolt skimmed past her face seering it and giving her a slight jolt of pain. She managed to keep avoiding each of the lightning by the skin of her teeth all while her hands were behind her back moving like a rocket of some kind. And finally, the attacks stopped as she was seen huffing and panting with the dragon seen slowly fading in and out. "Oh! So you are losing steam!" The scarred bandit said. "Not even close." She smiled and then shot out balls of fire towards all of them rapidly and they were seen avoiding it but along with the dragon, the attacks never stopped as the bandits were seen avoiding the fireballs by the skin of their teeth. "Time for a big one!" She shouted as the dragon opened up its maws that was showing an orange glow from beneath, while Scarlet's whole hands roared with immense amount of fire that reached up to her shoulders. "You think I will just stand around and watch you do that?" The scarred bandit shouted as he jumped forward towards her but he was too late. "Fire magic! Combo fireball!" She shouted as the dragon shot out a huge stream of fire that almost covered the whole area while Scarlet also shot out a condensed fireball that slammed into the scarred bandit burning him immediately while the stream of fire from the dragon burnt the others before they could avoid it. "At the end of the day, peasants can't match up to the nobles." Scarlet scoffed as she saw the ten mages burn to death while her dragon was slowly fading in and out before it totally disappeared.
