Chapter 403: The famous twins of Horn Lizard Town.
[Horn Lizard Town]
Walking on the street, humans and Horn Lizard Men could feel the rising tension in the air.
The bustling atmosphere that usually filled the streets had noticeably changed.
Many merchants had already begun packing away their goods, while passing awakeners instinctively tightened their grips on their weapons.
"What is going on?" an ordinary looking woman asked her friend.
"I don’t know, but I don’t think it is anything good," her friend responded in a grim voice.
She looked over her shoulder and saw a group of men walking briskly toward them.
Their expressions were grim, their weapons out in the open.
Their hurried footsteps echoed across the stone street, causing many pedestrians to instinctively step aside.
"We need to leave the street," she spoke, her voice solemn.
Without waiting for her friend to ask what was going on, she dragged her inside a merchant store.
Just then, a group walked out from a building. Each person radiated a strong killing intent. Their synchronized footsteps immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
In the lead were two identical figures.
A red-haired youth and a blue haired young woman.
Twins.
The famous twins of Horn Lizard Town.
Many people hiding nearby immediately recognized them. Their appearance alone caused several awakeners to hold their breath.
"I’ll advise you to turn back and return immediately," the female twin said confidently, her blue hair swaying gently over her shoulder.
Her calm expression never changed.
Despite facing numerous enemies, she remained completely composed.
Looking at the twins, the incoming group was stunned. Their leader, a young man holding a long silver spear, frowned deeply.
’Why are they here?’
’This was not part of their plan.’
They were here to force the Crimson Arc Guild to fight, and from there, they could reveal their cards slowly.
Their group was merely here to test the waters. But now, the twins’ party had disrupted everything. The situation had completely deviated from their original expectations.
"Do you know what you’re doing?" the young man said in a cold voice.
"I don’t think you want to muddle in these troubled waters." A sneer appeared on his face.
He had heard about the twins and their party, but he did not take them seriously. A mere party with no higher-level awakeners were nothing but a joke to him.
No matter how talented they were, talent alone could never bridge the gap between levels.
"I’ve heard you’re proud. I guess the rumor was true," the male twin responded casually.
His voice was calm.
There was neither anger nor fear within it.
Even though their opponent was a Level 36 Lancer, they were not scared. This was not the first time they had taken down a Level 36 Awakener, and it wouldn’t be the last.
The twins exchanged a subtle glance and nodded.
"Kill!" they roared at the same time.
Behind them, their party also charged forward. Without hesitation, every member moved into their assigned position.
Their Tank rushed forward with his massive shield to welcome the first attack. His heavy footsteps shook the ground beneath him.
Before the Tank could receive the first strike, two terrifying attacks whistled toward the silver spear wielding young man and his group.
"Flame Meteor!"
"Wind Severance!"
The two elemental attacks complemented each other, boosting each other’s power. The blazing flames were accelerated by violent winds.
The swirling winds became even sharper after being infused with blazing fire.
Together, they formed a devastating elemental assault that tore through the air.
Watching the incoming attack, the young man was stunned and retreated quickly.
His instincts screamed at him.
Behind him, an Earth Mage stepped forward.
"Rock Defense!"
A solid wall of earth erupted from the ground, forming a powerful barrier before them. The massive wall towered over everyone, shielding the entire front line.
Bang!
The ground trembled vehemently, and the force from the combined attack blasted through the Rock Defense with ease.
Cracks spread across the stone wall before it exploded into countless fragments.
’T-This...’
The Slave Trade Guild members were stunned.
None of them expected their strongest defensive spell to collapse so easily.
Their expressions changed dramatically.
They finally realized why the twins had become so famous throughout the Crimson Dune.
But as a veteran fighter, a Level 35 Swordsman stepped forward and swung his blade at breathtaking speed.
"Sky Split!"
Whoosh!
The blade cut the two attacks apart in one clean motion.
The blazing flames exploded into countless fiery sparks while the raging wind scattered in every direction.
A violent shockwave swept through the street, forcing many spectators hiding nearby to shield their faces.
Huh!
Many watching the battle from the distance or from their hiding spots couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
Many had heard about the famous twins, but many had never seen them fight until now.
"The rumor about them is true..."
"That attack... I think only a powerful Level 36 fighter can stop it. Anyone below a C Rank talent would be injured."
"I never thought two Level 35 Mages could unleash such terrifying power."
"Their coordination is frightening."
People couldn’t help but comment on the twins’ eye opening attack. Compared to the people talking about the attack, the two sides rushed toward each other.
Neither side intended to give the other any breathing room.
With the first strike defended, a close battle started.
"Watch out for their assassins," the female twin warned her party members.
She never took her eyes off the enemy formation.
Bang! Bang!
The twins’ Tank blocked the Lancer’s attack, taking a couple of steps back.
The impact echoed loudly through the street.
His shield trembled violently under the tremendous force.
But that was enough for their Berserker to rush forward, swinging his axe. The gigantic axe cut through the air with terrifying momentum.
The Lancer reacted immediately, raising his silver spear to intercept.
Clang!
Sparks erupted into the air.
The Berserker grinned wildly despite being pushed backward while the collision created an opening.
Immediately, the party’s Archer released three arrows toward the enemy’s rear.
