At night, under the dazzling lights of neon, the colorful nightlife of Gotham City, which has a simple folk style, finally begins.

And at this time,

At the table facing the open-air bar on the side of the street, which is specially reserved for middle-aged and elderly people who like to be quiet, an old man with a white beard, dressed in a white robe and a white cloak, and leaning against a 'long cane' that is also white, made of unknown material and looks like a perfect one, is silently drinking his own stuffy wine, and 'Let's go! Let's go! 'The ground smokes dry tobacco from his pipe.

He had already turned down several invitations from the same elderly citizens of Gotham City who wanted to meet or talk to him, and just sat alone at the small table, not saying a word.

Originally, he didn't have the money to buy alcohol......

But when he used a gold coin of a lonely mountain dwarf, the same thing he had when he and a certain hobbit and a group of dwarves who had died to provoke a certain dragon Smaug! At that time, he carried a few handfuls of gold coins in his pocket, and he still did not spend them, and he was able to go to the pawnshop in this simple city to exchange some green banknotes that could barely sustain his life.

Then, after using the wand at his side to convince (physically) a group of thugs who didn't know whether to live or die, and wanted to beat him up for money, he came here and drank his stuffy wine......

That's right, he's Gandalf the white-robed wizard!

He is a Maiya from the continent of Amen on the west side of the world of Arda, from the west side of the sea in Middle-earth, and he is also a minor god, formerly known as Euroin, who calls himself Estali, and is the wisest of all Maia!

Actually,

He had left Middle-earth in the Third Age and returned to Amen for many years...... However, since he is a subordinate of the star god Valda, a secondary god Maia, and his abilities are no longer limited after returning to Amen Continent, his appearance has not been affected in any way, and he still looks like the same knowledgeable and elegant human old man he once was?

But

You can't despise him because he looks like an old man!

Because, the demons who fell into his hands a few days ago, and the sturdy tattooed thugs who wanted to rob him of his belongings just before he came to this street bar for a drink, but were instead knocked to the ground by him with a few sticks, those 'simple' Gotham citizens with developed limbs and simple minds are a lesson from the past!

“……”

Gandalf first silently observed the very magical technological creations that came and went on the road, and looked at the pedestrians with different expressions for a while, and then took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, stretched out his finger, summoned a flame on the tip of his finger, lit a new bucket of tobacco, and began to bite the handle of the pipe and meditate......

To be honest, Gandalf in white robe really didn't know why he had come to this world of demons for some reason, because he had been confused and tossing and turning for days in this huge human city with a terrifying population of 30 million.

So far, he only knows that this is a magical world called Earth, and at the same time, this city is called Gotham City, which is one of the most secure and simple cities in the world? As for the rest, he didn't know very well, anyway, the information was told to him by the police who he found and questioned.

“……”

Let's go! Let's go!

Gandalf continued to smoke the dry tobacco from his pipe in silence......

The tobacco in those pipes, which he had shredded and stuffed into the packs of cigarettes he had bought and obtained the sweet-tasting tobacco shreds, apparently preferred his pipes to the filters, because, he thought, that the bite of the pipe would help him think?

Days passed in the blink of an eye......

Although his Gandalf's power was not limited in any way, he had to admit a terrible reality, that is, in this world called Earth, he could not feel their Alda world, nor could he feel Middle-earth, nor Amen, nor could he feel the existence of any of the true gods Vera and the supreme god Eru Iluvita!

It was a terrible feeling, he didn't know what he had to do, he didn't know what he needed to do, and not being able to contact any of the Veranas meant that he Gandalf didn't know how to get back now, and he was probably completely lost in this strange world.

So

Even after thinking and searching for many days and still not being able to figure it out, he really didn't have any good ideas other than to continue to wander around the city and continue to think hard, he could only slowly adapt to everything here in such an almost clumsy way.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly!

Gandalf, who was swallowing the clouds, couldn't help but pause, hesitating to stop his 'da-da-da' smoking.

Then, after frowning and thinking for a while, he sighed slowly, exhaled a heavy puff of smoke, and then slammed his pipe twice on the foot of the table, and poured out the 'finest' tobacco that still had sparks, and probably only half burned, and then he put away his pipe, reached out and grabbed his white 'long cane', and stood up from the street table with some trembling.

“……”

Then, after looking at the environment to his left and right, he felt that this place did not seem to be suitable for certain things, and after thinking about it, he took a step and walked leisurely towards the street park not far away, which was deserted at night and the lights were still a little dim.

Think about the other day, in the days when he first came here, when he was not familiar with the place, he had spent the night with the homeless people on the park benches...... Aside from feeling a little cold and the wooden benches a little awkward, it didn't seem like a big deal, but it was much safer than when they were on their adventures in Middle-earth.

"Uh-huh......"

Walking through the park, along the wide, almost deserted road on the other side, Gandalf had to stop.

Because

At this time, in front of him were five strong men in black lined up! On this big night, they still wear inky eyes, which seem to be very weird? However, Gandalf didn't have time to care why the other party was wearing such a strange thing, because he knew that the guys were here to trouble him, which was the main reason why he had just left the bustling street shop.

"What a stubborn guy......"

After having to stop, he first grumbled like an old man to the men in front of him, and then Gandalf turned to look behind him, clutching his wand in his hand.

At this moment, on the road he had just walked and around him, behind the squarely and neatly trimmed bushes that I don't know what kind of bushes, a guy who was also wearing a black suit and sunglasses came out silently.

"Evil beings!"

"Why, it's been so many days, aren't you going to let me go of this old man?!"

Looking at the people who were wearing black suits and sunglasses, all of them looked very capable and strong, Gandalf knew that tonight would definitely not be too quiet...... Because, since he accidentally took care of an idle matter a few days ago, he found that those evil beings had already targeted him, and although they had endured it for several days, they had finally found him tonight.

"An old wizard from outside!"

"Listen, we're from the Bear Shield Bureau, and you're now suspected of trespassing, resisting arrest by force, and mutilating innocent Bear Shield agents, now please honestly lay down your weapons and come with us!"

"You're surrounded by us now, you can't escape!"

As one of the black-clad agents who seemed to be the leader stepped forward and spoke, the black-clad agents around them soon dispersed, and a huge encirclement surrounded a certain bad old man in the middle of the road.

That's right, the world is theirs, and the bad old man in front of him was targeted by them after attacking their companions! Today, after they had summoned a dozen capable agents, they finally began to close the net, intending to capture them alive and bring them back to their master and director.

"No ......"

"I don't want to go with you guys at all!"

Gandalf couldn't help but shake his head slowly and sneered as he watched the other side try to capture him alive or force him to surrender with less than twenty men.

"And ......"

"Stupid demons! Do you think that your clumsy disguise can deceive the eyes of Gandalf, the white-robed wizard?! ”

‘Εμφ?? νιση！ ’

With that, Gandalf suddenly raised the holy white wand in his hand, and then, after reciting a spell, he slammed the tail of the wand towards the ground!

In the next second, a white circle of light erupted around him in an instant, like a shockwave of explosion, knocking the so-called 'Bear Shield agents' who surrounded him to the ground, and also taking the disguises of those guys, all the superficial camouflage magic was broken!

‘……’

'Damn! ’

'His spell has worked!' ’

'Fight quickly, if mortals see us, Lord Diablo will kill us!' ’

'Quick! Kill him!! ’

As Gandalf's aura swept in all directions, they soon began to roar in frustration as the agents of the Bear Shield Bureau, who had revealed their terrifying true appearances, got back to their feet and saw the changes in each other.

'Wizard! ’

'You're not supposed to be nosy!!' ’

Seeing that the disguises of their own people had all been broken, those huge demons who had appeared in shape, with a body size of more than two meters tall, huge demon wings, red demon skin, and strong and hideous muscles, after a few short exchanges of words in a hideous and cruel manner, they picked up their jagged blades without doing anything, and threatened the old wizard with bad intentions.

Indeed, if it weren't for the fact that this old immortal wizard had been meddling in his business a few days ago, saving a madman who had escaped from Arkham's asylum and killing several of their companions, they would not have sent so many elite giant demons to trouble each other.

However, it was too late to say anything now, and from the moment the other party confronted them against their Bear Shield Bureau, the other party was destined to be the enemy of them and their master, Lord Diablo!

“……”

Gandalf didn't continue to talk nonsense with the demons in front of him, he just silently watched, he wanted to see what the other party had to dare to call for a wizard like him.

'Do it! ’

'Burn him!!' ’

????

After the giant demons stepped forward and threatened a few steps, one of the leaders suddenly shouted, and then several giant demons moved at the same time, burning the hellfire from all sides towards the wizard in the middle!

In an instant, the air became boiling, and the place, which had been extremely dark due to the night, also became red and translucent in an instant, and the violent red light continued to burst out along the scorched and curled leaves above towards the sky and the surroundings......

"Stupid!"

"You think your magic can stand up to a white-robed wizard?!"

In the firelight, a white-robed figure was not affected at all, but with a wave of his white wand, the mass of flames that completely enveloped his body was contained in the head of his wand, and it was re-transformed into pure magical energy and stored.

Gandalf's magic is not afraid of the magic of the demons, because he is a Maia, and Maia is not restricted in any way, a secondary god, and it is not something that can be harmed by the spells of these little minions! Besides, he's a wizard, and he's incredibly skilled with magic and magical energy!

‘！！ ’

Undoubtedly, when the demons stopped, they found that their flames, flames that could burn all enemies within range, even melting steel, had been easily broken by them?

Even, not a single hair of the two of them could burn?!

"Let's get on it!"

"Just chop him up!!"

Glancing at each other, they found that the usually invincible Hellfire magic was ineffective, and the hideous red-skinned demons didn't think much about it, and at the snort of the demon leader who stood still, they raised the large jagged blades in their hands and rushed towards the wizard who was surrounded by them.

"Demons!"

"Who do you think I am?"

Seeing that the other party had given up his magic and picked up his knife and rushed up, Gandalf, who was not angry, shook his white cloak without hesitation, revealing a sword at his waist, and then directly made a staff in his left hand, and drew a long sword with his right hand and rushed towards those demons!

Burst!

Cane Strike!!

A demon's head was smashed to pieces by the head of Gandalf's left White Wand, and he staggered to the park's leafy ground, twitched twice and then remained motionless, apparently dead!

Cha!

One-handed sword!

The other demon was cut off by a sword almost at the same time, and the bright red demon's blood shot out high in an instant......

Clang!!

Wand Block!

The serrated blade of another giant demon that followed was blocked by the holy white wand in Gandalf's left hand, and the hideous blade not only failed to cut the wand that seemed to be wood in two, but also failed to leave a mark on it?

Swish!

Whirlwind Dance!!

After blocking the third demon's full slash, Gandalf swung his sword and swept it around, a sword-like light flashed, and after a very short turn, the more demons who were about to surround him were either cut off by the waist, or sliced diagonally down along the shoulder, or split from the bottom up......

‘……’

'Uhh ’

Poof! Poof!

As the demons around him fell to the ground in various postures with round eyes and various gestures, Gandalf stepped forward again, smashing the head of a giant demon that was rushing a little slowly into its neck with a single staff......

Boom!!

Poof!

Get! At this moment, after only a few rounds of attacks, the demons who copied the knife stepped forward and were ready to chop a white-robed mage with more enemies and fewer enemies, and the entire army was wiped out, leaving only the demon leader who gave orders just now?

"Humph!"

"Demons! Have you thought about your deathbed condolences?! ”

If the other party is using magic, he Gandalf may still be worried about causing too much noise and being seen by ordinary people? Of course, I was even more worried about the impact on this huge city, after all, it was said that there were 30 million people living here, and it was not a good place to cast and fight spells, but if the other party used a knife, it would be different.

You know, when he was in Middle-earth, when his magic power was seriously suppressed, who was he afraid of when Gandalf talked about his ability to fight?!

Back then, when the coalition of humans, elves and dwarves fought in front of the Black Gate, one of the wands of his gray-robed wizard Gandalf was also dancing vigorously, and he also beat the ringwraiths to the ground, and finally it was Sauron, the boss of the rings, who came out to suppress the field! If it weren't for the fact that humans were too greedy and coveted the One Ring, where would there be a Third Age later?

And then there'......

He wouldn't tell the frightened demon in front of him: his white-robed wizard Gandalf was different from ordinary wizards, and although he knew a lot of spells himself, he didn't like them too much...... Because, in terms of bonus points, he is a full point of life and stamina, and in terms of talent, he is a point of one-handed sword, two-handed sword, block, critical hit, charge, decapitation, whirlwind slash, powerful slash, legendary strong slash, etc., etc...... Therefore, if the opponent wants to defeat him with his physical and martial arts skills, it is a big mistake!

‘！！ ’

'Wizard, times have changed, you give me death!!' ’

Seeing that the magic was ineffective, and seeing that the melee companions were almost completely wiped out in an instant, finally, a certain demon boss really seemed to be a little frightened? Therefore, he didn't think much about it or didn't dare to run away, so he suddenly took out an S686 from behind him, and aimed the two barrels of the black hole at the head of the wizard who was walking towards him in front of him.

Bang! Bang!!

With the sound of two gunshots, the 12th, a 18.5 mm caliber shotgun was activated, and then a terrible steel ball gushed out of the barrel, directly and completely enveloping a terrifying white-robed wizard who walked slowly!

……

After the two bursting gunshots, before the smoke of the barrel had cooled, the demon leader only saw that the human wizard had rushed in front of him? He had no idea what the other party had used to block the countless projectiles that were terrifying, even if their demon's skin would be pierced at close range?

Swish~!

With a flash of sword light, his hideous demonic head spun high and flew up, and then, when he saw one of the wizards below put away his sword, his eyes went black and he didn't know anything.

"Humph!!"

"It's a great weapon, but unfortunately, I'm not an ordinary wizard!"

If he were an ordinary wizard, or if he was himself as a 'gray-robed wizard', Gandalf believed that his own body and head would have turned into a pile of rotten flesh! Because, in that case, he himself would definitely not have time to react and protect himself.

However, he is not the gray-robed wizard Gandalf now, nor can he even be regarded as the white-robed wizard Gandalf, now he is a second-level god, a Maia!

And weapons in general, especially mortal weapons, such as the one he possessed and dared to pick up from the demon's hands, the kind of weapon called 'robbery' that he had seen in the army of the Alicia Kingdom that a little girl had made, would definitely not hurt his body!

"Huh?"

"Another enemy is coming?!"

When these huge demons in human skins were cut down by him one by one, when the blood of those demons began to stain the ground of the park red, when Gandalf saw that their souls did not know which hell they would return to in an instant, before he could think about what to do, he actually found that there was a strange black vehicle in the distance that looked like a bat rushing towards him at high speed?!

“……”

However, as he continued to hold the staff in one hand and the hilt of the sword in the back, ready to be alert to the enemy's impending attack, Gandalf noticed that the black car had stopped a few steps away from him, and then the door opened, and out of it came a strong-looking strange man in black leather armor, a black cape, and a black bat-like hood.

"Get in the car, old wizard!"

"I don't have time to explain, trust me, there are a lot of them, more than you think! Also, their big boss is coming soon, and I advise you not to fight them, because it's probably too late to escape? ”
