Transmigrated as a Wrong Character in a Sorcerer World

Due to the explosion, a huge amount of dust had been kicked up, so you could see neither into nor out of the explosion, but Klaus, Carion, and the rest were standing inside it.

Klaus had a small wound on his face and a slightly deeper one on his arm, where a stake had been driven. The same one he then used to throw in the direction of the traitor.

It was only for a brief moment that his temper got slightly out of control as he listened to this guy speak, for he spoke similarly to the man who had betrayed him just before he died.

Carion was quite a bit more injured, he was the one holding a small protective barrier that was the one that prevented many from dying, but there were no longer 6 of them.

The one who had activated the trap had disappeared, the explosion destroyed him instantly. The weakest rookie was still alive, but he had several stone stakes through parts of his body; he was seriously wounded as one of them was stuck near his stomach. The normal member of the expedition helped him, but the latter was not so badly wounded.

The other commander was the most unharmed because he was safe behind Carion.

Carion looked at Klaus and nodded to him. "Thank you, Klaus. That was a quick reaction." His tone of voice carried some admiration.

If it wasn't for Klaus, it was possible that several of them would have died, as he, in the end, managed to push them aside, managing to dodge some stakes that would possibly kill them.

Klaus shook his head, looking straight ahead. "I had to... This mission I can't complete alone. Those guys over there are on the Primary Level."

Carion nodded and looked at the rest of the group. "How is everyone?" he asked. The rookie's wound broke his heart, so he looked to the side.

"I'm sorry, they betrayed us and sold the information of where we would go. It's my fault." He said, blaming himself for the situation.

He also knew that the other guy had died, and although he subconsciously knew it was that guy's fault, he was the leader. Being a leader and having a casualty right off the bat meant he wasn't worthy of being one.

Still, the others were in too bad a state to answer him. One was almost dead, one was trying to keep the almost dead from dying, and the other was embarrassed and relieved.

He had also said that there was nothing here, so his companion followed his example and, in the end, ended up dead. If he had been the one to take that step... He would no longer be in this world.

Klaus watched them from the side, carefully observing their reactions and actions, and then diverted his attention to the front.

'The dust is beginning to settle.' He thought.

His mind worked quickly on a plan, and after a few seconds, he approached Carion.

"Before the dust settles, let's change the plan. I have one in mind. I just need you to distract those guys; I'll sneak in and rescue the hostages." He said, waving his hands to explain where he would go.

Carion only needed to remember the map to understand what he wanted to do. So he looked towards the others behind them as if to seek confirmation, but Klaus grabbed him by the arm.

"It's no good. By listening to them, our whole situation changed in a moment. Now we are passive; we need quick and effective plans."

Carion was surprised by his firm words but sighed. 'Right, I am the leader.' He thought.

"The plan sounds good to me, but there are several cursed beasts there. Can you do it? They're pretty strong beasts, and there are several of them. I don't think you can do it alone."

Klaus nodded; he knew that, too. "If I take one, you'll be at a distinct disadvantage here and could die."

"All right." Carion shook his head. "It's no use if I live if, in the end, we won't be able to rescue the hostages. Let's focus on the plan. Take the remaining Commander with you; if he follows your plan, I hope you succeed and can quickly return to help us; with two here, we'll be fine."

Klaus looked at him and smiled, "I'm not going to watch over his life, so if he dies, I don't want you to blame me. I'm not soft-hearted like you."

Carion nodded, though he gritted his teeth. Now he understood what Klaus had meant a moment ago when he thanked him for being quick. He was only doing this for the mission. He didn't care if they died or not as long as he completed the mission he was on.

Klaus then looked at the annoyed guy and gestured for him to follow him. "We'll make it quick. If you delay a second, I'll have you eaten by beasts. Let's go." He said, and after throwing two more stone stakes to distract them, he ran to the side.

The other guy hesitated for several seconds before following him.

There were many rocks, trees, and overgrown brush in these parts, so it was simple to get away from that place. Although maybe someone would notice, the plan already contemplated that situation.

Soon, a couple of men were running at high speed, crouching, crossing different trees, and soon entered the small town from the back.

As they entered, Klaus stopped, and the other guy stopped behind.

"Tell me, do you think you can fight two of them?" Asked Klaus.

In front of them were three cursed beasts. Two were nearby; one was looking away and distractedly eating as they guarded a large building, which was possibly hollow inside.

His companion frowned. "Not by much. And it's possible I'll die if I try." He spoke.

Klaus nodded. "Well, it's not so bad then. See those things over there?" He pointed to several nearby walls and rocks.

"Possibly, they have explosives in them. Use your head to lure those beasts to hit those places. Also, look over there." Klaus pointed to another side before speaking. "It's flour or some kind of similar thing, get it? If you make the beasts hit there, you can camouflage yourself properly; if you use your surroundings, you might even get to kill some, Got it?"

The guy next to him almost felt dizzy from everything he told him. "Wait, wait, how the hell do you know it's flour? What if it's rocks or something to light a fire?"

Klaus stared at him like he was stupid.

"Are you stupid? How could rocks or burnt sticks have that much dust around them? That's not smoke; that's some kind of dust. I'm 100% sure that's flour of some kind, and it was surely used to create the dust that surrounded us a while ago. Didn't you notice? That dust took a long time to leave; that means it's flour or something special to do that."

The guy was shocked and looked at that again. 'Right...' He felt embarrassed but suddenly realized why he was being told this and turned to look at Klaus.

"You expect me to fight those things? By myself? There are 2 of them, and they're strong, you know!?" He spoke.

Klaus smiled and looked at him. "Best of luck, I'll go rescue the hostages. See you later."

Suddenly, Klaus started running in another direction and disappeared soon after. The guy forced to fight two cursed beasts couldn't even react.

'What the hell...' He looked ahead once again and felt fear.

'Do I really have to fight those two things simultaneously?' He swallowed saliva and then looked at the points Klaus had told him. 'At least you would have told me what to do with those things...'

He finally gave up; he'd drawn the fucking straw this time.
