I suck at this(corrected)

When they landed on the ground, they divided into several subgroups and spread out among the various city streets. Mark worked with others to search for civilians, who had not yet managed to escape or to help the companions who were already in Melen.

Running through the streets at a speed he previously thought impossible, he made an effort to look for any people, but that was only a secondary thing for him; he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be able to roam the city freely to see if there were any other fragments.

Moreover, if he saved people, his reputation in the eyes of others would rise.

"Help! Somebody help me, I can't move!"

Hearing a man's scream, he headed to where the sounds were coming from, and near a building that had collapsed, a person was lying on the ground as rubble covered the lower part of his body.

"P-Please help me."

"Don't worry, I'll help you now."

Calming the man with his voice, Mark analyzed the situation and it seemed that the man was quite lucky. Wooden poles had prevented the rubble from falling directly onto his legs, but they seemed to have stopped him at the same time.

Bending down in front of poles, he grabbed them and putting strength into his arms, lifted them.

No longer feeling the weight on his legs, the man crawled away, then quickly got to his feet and thanked Mark.

"Thank you, thank you." -Said the moved man, thinking he would be stuck down there.

"No problem, if you continue in that direction there should be my companions, you will be safe there."

After showing him the way, the man thanked him once again. With the rescue executed, Mark was ready to leave, except that out of the corner of his eye, he saw a black shadow falling toward him.

He jumped back and in the position, he was previously in, an amazon had hit the ground with her fist.

The amazon shifted her exciting gaze to Mark and without wasting time, charged him again.

'Compared to the spartoi, it seems to be going in slow motion' -Mark thought as he moved to the side, dodging the blow, and counterattacked with a punch to the jaw.

'tonf'

The moment the punch connected, the amazon's eyes rolled back, falling heavily to the ground, the blow was enough to make her faint.

'She's not dead is she?'-Seeing that she still had her aura, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had accepted murder as a necessary means, he did not want to use it indiscriminately. If a person deserved to die and would not cause him any trouble, Mark would not hesitate. That was why he did not kill the girl, who although had attacked him, she did not seem to have the intention of killing him.

'steps' 'steps'

Shifting his eyes left and right, he noticed that he was blocked by other Amazons. On the left were present two, one level 1 and one level 2, because of the size of their auras. In contrast, only one level 2 was present on the right.

"She wasn't alone huh."

Even though he knew he was stronger than them, it didn't mean he would repeat the mistake of underestimating an opponent.

Before the Amazons charged him, he stretched out his arms forming a magic circle on both palms.

"flashbang."

"AAH!"

"MY EYES!"

Unaccustomed to such dazzling light and the deafening sound produced by Mark's magic, the amazons screamed in pain, breaking their stance.

He ran to the left, where the two amazons were standing, and taking the sword still sheathed, he did what he learned from Aiz during Bell's training...

How to make people pass out.

'tonf' 'tonf'

After landing them, he pointed his hand at the remaining amazon, who seemed to have recovered from the effects and created another magic circle.

"Snake shock."

A lightning snake flew quickly toward the amazon, and when she saw it, she rolled away dodging it.

The amazon looked at him defiantly, which Mark reciprocated with a mocking smile, and before she could understand the reason, the electric snake abruptly changed direction, biting her shoulder from behind.

'Vzzz!' 'tonf'

"Hmm, as a first practical use, I am more than satisfied."

Ignoring the thunderstruck amazon, Mark was more interested in the results of his magic; besides, he already knew that with his strength, level 2 were no challenge.

'Boooom!'-The sound of an explosion was heard not far from him.

Jumping agilely over a building, he saw that toward the harbor some smoke was rising.

'I'd better check.'

He began jumping from rooftop to rooftop, quickly approaching his destination. As he came, he checked to even the state of the city and it seemed that the others had already taken care of the Violas.

Landing on another rooftop, he hid behind a chimney and checked the situation.

He was on a building overlooking a square, and although the environment was a bit dark due to the lack of lights, he could see Aiz fighting with someone, but to Mark's surprise, it looked like Aiz was in trouble.

"GEGEGEH! Without your wind, you are just trash! Instead, look at me! I am strong, tough, and beautiful." -Said the person making strange poses.

'chills.'

Mark felt shivers of disgust run through his whole body, especially when he got a good look at the person. She was an amazon... no, to call her an amazon would be an insult to all the amazons he had met. She looked like the union of an ogre and a frog, a sight you would rather not watch.

Although disgusted, Mark became interested in the part where Aiz no longer had her wind. He shifted his gaze to her and her aura, which usually looked like a wind that had no restrictions, but now was bound by black stripes.

'What is that?

[I assume it's a curse, a stronger form of magic, but as a disadvantage, the user has to pay a cost.]

'Will she stay like this forever?'

[No, the effects of the curse do not seem strong enough to have a permanent effect.]

'clank!' 'clank!' 'clank!'

Meanwhile, the fight between the two had begun again, the speed with which they were exchanging blows made it almost impossible for Mark to follow what was going on, but one thing was certain, Aiz was at a disadvantage in the force department. The reason she was able to endure was that her mastery of the sword was high

'Hmm?'

Mark noticed something strange, the opponent was surrounded by a bright light made of Falna, which increased her aura, giving her the strength of a level 6 despite being level 5.

Using his 'Falna perception' skill, he could see a thread of Falna connecting to Aiz's opponent starting from a building on the opposite side of the square.

'A magic that increases the level? That's broken.' -Many would counter by saying that his abilities, were likewise broken.

He moved quickly while trying not to be seen, taking advantage of the slope of the rooftops to get closer to the source of the magic. He went all the way around the square, jumping from building to building, while the fight between Aiz and the Amazon monster continued.

'Here is perfect.'

At a couple of buildings away from him, three figures were watching the fight, two Amazons and one covered by a cloak, who was the person connected with magic.

'This could be a problem.' -He thought frowning.

The figure with the cloak was level 1, one of the two Amazons was level 2, and the second was level 4, a tough challenge even for Mark.

'Let's go.'

Three magic circles formed in front of him, the maximum for the moment, from which three electric javelins came out and flew away quickly, leaving trails of electricity that lit up the night. Two were directed toward Level 4, while the remainder were directed toward the cloaked figure.

The thunderbolts whizzed through the air heading for the targets, but it seemed that the whistling noise of electricity, alerted the level 4 Amazon, who caught the figure with the cloak and then jumped off the roof.

'CRACK!

The spears pierced the roof, causing it to collapse, consequently drawing everyone's eyes to the person who had caused the damage, who was scratching his head in embarrassment.

"What can I say... I always sucked at games where I had to be stealthy."
