Rise of the Legendary Emperor

Chapter 62: Slave city is No more

When Rosaline reached the slave city it was still burning and the smoke-filled air gave Rosaline a chill. The charred remains of the buildings stood in the pale morning light like a skeleton. She could feel the radiating heat on her face from right across the street while she was descended to the ground.

Looking at the people on the streets made her heart tighten in anger and a bit of sorrow. As far as Rosaline could see there was nothing to be salvaged from the building or even with the whole city.

After being disturbed momentarily, Rosaline walked towards a couple of people standing outside and trying to salvage something from the burnt building. Aware that the people won't pay much attention to her if she just walked at them Rosaline started to cast a spell that could make the heat radiating from the building disappear.

"Ice Wave"

Like a flash of cold wave crashed down on the building as the radiating heat was replaced with a cold chill.

"Great master"

The two men and woman startled when they turned to see the woman who had just cast the spell

"Did you see what happened last night?"

When she asked the three of them looked at each other for a moment before the taller man started to recollect the things happened last night

"We heard a thunderous roar it was so loud we were woken up by it then..."

The man gulped his saliva as his hands shivered slightly

"Then we saw it, the monstrous dragon and the blue fire it breathed "

The man looked at the faraway town center while he was speaking as Rosaline turned her gaze towards the direction he was looking

"Then we saw the dragon breathing fire on all the buildings and we ran, we ran like hell outside of our homes "

After questioning the three of them Rosaline came before the first building the dragon torched. The building before her was completely destroyed only some structures made of graystones stood still even though they were nearly charcoaled

"Ice wave"

Just like before the cold wave hit the building as the heat radiating from the building disappeared in a flash

As Rosaline was walking inside she halted her steps and looked around the place while her brows furrowed

"Hmm there was a battle here"

She could see the magical fluctuations left behind in the room but when she closely studied the magical fluctuations she raised her one eyebrow

"I've never seen this kind of magical fluctuations"

The gray shiny waves were nothing like she has seen before while thinking about this phenomenon she started to cast another spell

"Great Eye"

The moment the words came out of her mouth a huge two transparent eyes appeared behind her as a flash of light covered the room for a second and disappeared

"Weird"

***************************

"A mysterious killer before now a rogue dragon destroying cities what the hell is happening? "

Sears said as he was looking far away through the windows inside his office room.

"Does this have any connection to our Micheal? Or is it just a rogue dragon?"

"Might be might be not"

Rosaline was standing behind Sears's table and looking at him watching the morning sky

Hearing Rosaline Sears turned his gaze towards Rosaline away from the sky

"Although the dragon burnt some buildings all around the city it specifically torched three buildings first and all of them were slave traders"

After checking the first building Rosaline found the other buildings the Dragon personally torched than the buildings that got burnt because of the aftermath of the dragon's first attack.

"Did you find the bodies?"

Rosaline shook her head

"Not even a trace but it could be also the dragon's fire burnt them to ashes, however"

Seeing Rosaline stopped what she was saying Sears looked at her and waited for her to recollect her memories

"I found magical fluctuations but it's nothing like I've seen before"

When Sears heard Rosaline he knitted his brows and lines appeared on his forehead

"What do you mean you've never seen ?"

"It's better if you see it yourself"

****************************

Spending some time looking around the burnt room Sears picked up a pinch of ash and studied it for a moment

"Yes a human"

Rosaline's eyes went wide in surprise seeing her master coming to this conclusion just by studying the ash from the ground but before she could ask anything Sears walked towards the place where there was a door before

"Another one I'm guessing all of them were killed by the same person or a group that left these weird magical fluctuations behind"

After saying what he has detected Sears looked at the confused face of Rosaline as a grin appeared on his face

"You have a lot more to learn Rosaline"

"Did you find anything else Teacher"

Thinking of she didn't find anything she decided to ask her teacher as she saw him rubbing his chin for a moment

"Even though I found bodies on all the three shops I couldn't find a trace of mass killing sites I mean there should have been at least a hundred slaves in each shop right?"

Hearing her teacher Rosaline nodded her head because she understands the logic behind his reasoning. She knew after Minister Bryan's death the city became a magnet for criminals and bandits as many small slave traders went to other cities to do their business but these three shops were not small like them and there should have been at least a hundred slaves like Sears said.

"So where are they and don't you find this weird?"

As he was saying Sears pointed his finger towards the people on the street. She could see that most of the people trying to salvage something from the burnt buildings as some of them crying looking at their house

"It seems the dragon wanted to destroy the city but not its people, except a few most of them survived the attack lets go the capitol should clean up this mess"

"But Teacher do you think this has anything to do with Micheal?"

Hearing Rosalin's question Sears pondered the possibilities in his mind

"It's as you've said before it might be him or might be not"
