Chapter 603 26
Ardent observed as the bodies of the fallen guards and Mages gathered near the town hall. He watched as the spouse of the fallen, along with their children, if they have any, or parents if they still a bachelor, cried their heart out.
His heart wrenched at the sight, despite him not knowing them that well.
'If only I use my strength from the get go. If only if I don't hold back!' he thought grimly.
He cause this. His inaction caused great losses, which was just as bad as him killing them himself.
Catlin, his cute and kind fiance, sensed his distress and went to his side, patting his shoulder.
"You can't save them in time."
'Yes, I can.'
"If you don't fight the strong one, he will destroy all of us when you handle his subordinates."
'No. If I prioritize the other sides I might kill them quickly before killing the leaders. I'm strong enough to do that.'
"Don't feel bad. If not for you, we will all die or worse."@@@@
'No- well, it's true. I manage to make things better. But it still left a bitter taste in my mouth.'
"Thank you, Catlin, for your kind words." Ardent replied, his body leaning to his fiance. The blonde girl smiled, doing the same thing, as both watched the somber atmosphere in front of them.

As the strongest Mage, Ardent was seen as the leader of the Mages at the moment, and probably in the future, though he don't plan on holding on the job. At least without getting more experience in leadership first.
Catlin had a cramped look on her face, "When he become a 3rd Circle Mage, apparently." she replied.
"Wait," Calais said, "Before, he can use Water and Fire Magic when he was a 1st Circle Mage, and then add Earth Magic to the mix when he become a 2nd Circle Mage. Now, as a 3rd Circle Mage, he can use Wind Magic."
The eldest son of Cross rubbed his temple, "At this rate, he will unlock a new attribute every single time he raise his Circle."
Catlin nodded in agreement. "I can see that."

Despite saying it in a cherry tone, she could not help but worried of her fiance.
'Please Ardent, tell me if it's hurting, so I can be there to help you.'

After the meeting ended with the most important personal having left, Catlin decided to head towards his parents in-law's house, to tell them what happened.
When she arrived, she spotted Grace waiting outside, a worried look on her face.
"Catlin!" she cried out, the slightly plump woman running towards her.
"Where's Ardent?! Where's my boy!?" she asked in a hysterical manner. Catlin did not blame her. If her child get involved in a dangerous situation, she would like do the same thing as her.
"Mother, let's get inside, and then we can talk about him." Catlin try to pacify the older woman. She looked like she wanted to say something about it but relented, letting the blonde pushed her back to her home, where Catlin faced an even greater trial.
Telling them of what happened.
