Kadalina, who was just quietly performing her weakening duties, fell into an unusually frenzied mood after the attacker appeared.

Annan does not think it is to protect himself.

"Your sword!"

The heaviness of his hand reminded Annan that he was still holding a long sword, and shouted at Kadalina's back. Then he saw Kadalina bite off her palm, pull an ulna bone out of her flesh, and pounce on the leader of the attackers with a blood mist and a low roar, a warrior in plate armor who had emerged from the bush and was armed with a heavy sword.

Annan understood where Kadalina's injuries were coming from.

"Protect Your Excellency Annan!" Francois did not forget to deepen Annan's impression of him.

Deira seemed to blend into the shadows, obviously standing next to her, but Annan subconsciously ignored her existence.

Bell –

The buzzing in his ears brought Annan back to his senses, and Klein, who raised his steel shield, blocked an arrow aimed at Annan.

Kadalina takes over from Klein to fend off the attacker's leader. Because she was unprotected, she was covered in bruises, but she grabbed and swung bone spurs more and more feverishly, which made the leader who was splashed with her blood even retreat in fear, as if he was seriously injured and dying.

Francois burst out of the clearing as soon as the attackers appeared, harassing the enemy with the intricate trees. But because he had to keep an eye on the archers in the woods, he couldn't do any effective damage.

It was Deira who really brought the killing to the enemy. She leapt out of the shadows, slitting the throats of her assailants with untold grace, hiding in the shadows undetected, dodging between the bushes and even the shadows of the assailants, approaching her next target so fast that they didn't even have time to say, "Oh my God, I was killed."

"Knight, protect me!"

Michael suddenly shouted loudly, unleashing a shield spell for himself, preparing to cast a fireball spell.

Klein leaned some way to McKeel's side, but was still in Annan's way.

Two arrows shot at Michael from the bushes outside the clearing, one after the other, blocked by a flashing azure shield. Two screams were heard from the direction from which the arrow had come from.

Dela's shadow flickered.

The threat posed by ranged enemies is drastically reduced.

Michael continued to cast the spell, causing the attacking Assassin to leap out of the shadow of the dwarf giant's corpse, and instead of attacking Annan, he grabbed a dagger and stabbed at him.

When the despicable sneak attack was about to succeed, McCaul, pretending to chant, waved his staff with a clashing horn-

It is known that a staff is longer than a dagger.

"He's cheating! Rush up! ”

The leader of the attackers blocked the madwoman's attack in front of him, kicked her away, and commanded his men before she could pounce.

The swaying forest shrubs suddenly rushed out of seven or eight figures, and at the same time rushed towards Annan and the others in the center of the clearing.

"Keep your head down!"

Klein shouted suddenly, and before Annan could react, Deira poked out of his shadow and pushed him down.

The wind howled overhead, and Klein threw an axe that cut off the right leg of the enemy who rushed in front of him, and the unbalanced attacker smashed right in front of Annan.

A wild ecstasy appeared on that face, and he pounced on Annan, and then Klein's shield fell on his back like a rock, and the squeezed blood splattered from his mouth and nose all over Annan's face.

Klein picked up the shield, and as soon as Annan got up, he saw a terrifying fireball two or three feet in diameter smashing towards him.

Annan, who was about to pounce on the side, was dragged back by Deella and pushed him down again.

"Get down."

Klein, who was in the way, erected a steel shield, and the fireball that smashed on the shield exploded.

A terrifying heat wave escaped at the edge, and Annan and Deella, who were lying on the ground, were not spared, but the blue halo of shield spells released by the magic robe spontaneously blocked the heat.

The painful snort of Dela, who was pressing on her body, sounded in her ears, and Annan turned over to protect her underneath.

When the heat wave dissipated, the frightened Annan looked at the beautiful elf who almost killed him: "Are you in league with them?" ”

Without the magic robe, Annan would have been roasted into jerky.

But the female elves will be even worse.

"Not yet."

Annan's neck tightened, and Klein lifted the two guys who were talking next to each other one in one hand. At the same time, Michael shouted:

"It's a return gift!"

Two fireballs shoot out at the same time. One went back the way it came, and the other blew up at the attacker—

This time, Annan clearly saw the effect of the fireball spell on the flesh and blood: the fireball exploded after touching the target, and the same result was the fragmented limbs, which were carbonized by the heat before they dispersed, forming a scattered black carbon fragment in the surrounding radial ground.

Later, Annan saw the mottled lines on Klein's steel shield after the heat melted.

Annan found himself seemingly underestimating the power of the spell. And the fireball spell is only a low-level spell......

"There are no archers!"

Francois's voice was heard from the woods at this moment.

The pressure on the crowd subsided sharply, and the attackers were left with little left, and they were even ready to flee.

Klein, who had been taking on the damage, straightened up, grabbed the steel shield, picked up the axe, and approached the crumbling but increasingly crazy Kadalina.

Annan thought that Kadalina, who had lost her mind, would attack Klein, but she just yelled, "Stand back! ”

Unable to watch Kadalina bleed and die here, Klein raised his axe and threw it at the leader of the attackers.

The spinning hand axe smashed into the armor of the raider's leader, bouncing, and flew back to the same path-

Bell –

The bouncing axe left a scratch on Klein's shoulder-attached armor.

In the face of Annan's surprise, a dull muttering came from the armor: "Why should I use the hand axe I bought myself on others." ”

Klein's assist worked, and the axe caught the attacker's leader off guard, and was pinned to the trunk by Kadalina's sword through the nail in the throat.

"You're robbing my prey." A gasping Katarina stared coldly at Klein.

"You didn't say you were a fanatic."

"Are you going to take me like a judgment now?"

"It doesn't matter, you're a companion anyway."

Klein lowered his head to retrieve the axe, and Katarina's one-eyed eye gradually eased.

As soon as the leader of the attackers died, the few remaining attackers began to flee.

"These hyenas came with us...... said Michael with a frown.

Francois was ready to catch up with the attackers to finish them out completely, and Annan suddenly remembered the ecstatic expression of the attackers: "They are not hyenas......

"Stay alive!"

Michael, who realized something, shouted.

Kadalina did not go after it. She dragged the seriously wounded body to carry the corpse, and placed the dead body in a prayer position for the blood sacrifice ceremony.

Desecrating corpses is evil, but those who want to attack them do not deserve sympathy.

Michael and the others moved farther away, and then returned the magic ring that Annan had lent him, and found the boy covered in blood, and took out his handkerchief by the way.

However, Deira also handed over a handkerchief at this time.

"I blew my nose in the morning." Michael said as he withdrew his handkerchief.

"Thank you."

Annan took Dela's handkerchief and wiped her cheeks, smelling the scent of the forest, the earth, and the flowers.

"We're amazing." Annan couldn't help but sigh.
