Despite Clare and Teresa's efforts to reduce the number of pursuers, a significant group of individuals managed to stay close and continue trailing Eustace's movements.

As they observed Eustace's incredible speed, doubts and speculations arose among the pursuers.

"Is he really a Summoner? I'll believe you if you say he's a Knight!"

"Indeed… What kind of Summoner moves like this?!"

"Perhaps he summoned a support-type beast while concealing it from us."

"This complicates things."

These murmurs accompanied their pursuit, as they followed the residual energy left by Eustace.

They couldn't even see his figure!

Nevertheless, Eustace was still able to sense their presence.

"Alright… Just follow me." He muttered.

Eustace refused to tolerate their intrusion, determined to maintain his composure and the persona of "Eustace" in his mind.

Approaching the path leading to the surface of the Roaring City, Eustace deliberately halted his steps and waited for the pursuers to catch up.

Clare and Teresa, recognizing his intentions, also ceased their advance, choosing not to engage in a confrontation with Eustace.

'Mhmm… Should I take out my Devil's Face?' Eustace mused, but as he realized how weak his pursuers were, he decided against it. Anyway, he also felt that using that mask was a bit too much.

'It's probably better to use it when dealing with the church or the cult instead.' He mused.

The Devil's Face or Devil's Mask also had another identity to it. It was the mysterious person capable of summoning a Heavenly Lightning.

As he thought of this, the other individuals failed to perceive the situation, unlike Clare and Teresa, as they continued to close in on his position until they encircled Eustace.

It was already too late when they realized Eustace's plan.

With a cold voice, Eustace confronted them directly.

"Are you following me?" He questioned, his tone laced with a hint of hostility. He also opened his Grimoire as if to summon a creature.

Eustace was certainly eager to have a fight since he had just acquired his new Summons. He wouldn't mind testing his two Savage Murlocs.

As he gathered his energy, the surrounding people realized that Eustace was indeed ready for a confrontation.

Some of them started hesitating, opting for a cautious response to his question.

"Of course not... We simply wish to go outside. Don't read too much into it."

"Indeed... You're not the only one who can utilize this path!" Another one retorted, attempting to downplay their true intentions.

"I won't accept your explanations…" Eustace declared firmly. He knew that those words were lies.

With a swift motion, he used his Grimoire and summoned his two Savage Murlocs to the forefront of the impending battle.

The Savage Murlocs emerged, their appearance striking and formidable.

Ssshhh~

Standing at about four feet tall, their scaly, emerald-green skin glistened under the dim light. Their muscular bodies were adorned with sharp, jagged spines that ran along their backs, giving them a menacing presence.

Jagged teeth protruded from their snouts, while their glowing yellow eyes exuded a primal ferocity.

'Ho~ They really look intimidating…'

This was also Eustace's first time seeing them in person. They indeed appeared more ferocious than the image they have in the Grimoire.

"Murlocs?!"

"You're summoning a Murloc at this environment?!"

"You're disrespecting your seniors! You need to learn a lesson!"

"Hmph! Since we're under attack, we have all the rights to capture this young man!"

"Let's go!"

As the pursuers faced the summoned Murlocs, five Arcanists among them stepped forward, prepared to engage in combat.

Each Arcanist wielded their own unique set of spells, ready to unleash their magical prowess.

Of course, Eustace knew that Murlocs were agile but weren't that great without the assistance of swamp or water.

With this in mind, Eustace took out a couple of talismans that could summon a Water Vortex Spell! These Talismans were still the same talismans he got from Brylle before.

Whooshh~

The sudden splash of water that changed and affected the ground astounded the others, but they didn't plan to back down.

Three of them were Elementalists, so various elemental attacks were thrown immediately.

There was also one Shaman who prepared to cast a binding spell on Eustace…

Finally, there's one Combat Arts Practitioner aiming to take down Eustace.

This was a common strategy against a Summoner, after all.

The clash began with an eruption of spells and their Magic Zones.

Indeed! To Eustace's surprise, his Magic Zone was being attacked by the three Magic Zones of the Elementalists! They were trying to break his Phantasm State!

'So this is another way to fight…' Eustass muttered as he felt his Magic Zone being squeezed… He hadn't fully expanded his Magic Zone, so it seemed that he was really struggling against them.

'I wonder how they were doing it. Whenever I expand my Magic Zone, it doesn't affect the others. Is this a special trait for Elementalists?' Eustace mused as he realized once again that he still had a lot to learn.

He didn't expect that Elementalists have such a way to fight against other Arcanists.

Unfortunately for them, he had already consumed his second Darkness Possession. At this time, he Magic Zone was already strong.

The enemies then conjured various Spells, hurling them towards the Savage Murlocs.

The Murlocs, agile and coordinated, evaded the incoming Fire and Wind attacks with swift movements and nimble leaps. They were moving as if they could predict the trajectory of spells!

Then, the Savage Murlocs retaliated. With lightning-fast strikes, they slashed at their opponents using their razor-sharp claws, leaving deep gashes on those unfortunate enough to be within reach.

'What?' Eustace didn't expect the Murlocs to land a hit just like that. He had overestimated these people! Perhaps, if not for the Shaman's healing abilities, this battle would be quick!

The Murlocs' primal instincts guided their movements, allowing them to dodge and counter the Arcanists' spells with uncanny agility.

The battle raged on, a clash of brute strength and arcane mastery.

'They're stronger than I thought! Yvaine, continue supporting them secretly!'

'I know…' Yvaine answered with a calm voice.

Eustace smiled at Yvaine's answer.

He liked this answer compared to just Yes or No…

Then, he shifted his attention to a figure sneaking up on him.

It was the familiar Aura Master…
