The pale blue light of the hourglass of time finally dimmed, and the order of space and time gradually returned to normal.

The others except Lance were not aware of the change in the speed of time, and continued to slowly continue what they had just said, saying what they had just said.

Everything is like a slow to fast performance, full of drama.

The Time Hourglass is a treasure with powerful magical powers, which affects the surrounding space and time depending on the user's ability, and it is indeed a coveted treasure in terms of function.

Of course, such a powerful treasure also requires a lot of energy to use it.

"Tear up...... Bang ......"

A screeching sound accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded, and when everyone came back to their senses, Lance had fallen heavily on the ground not far away.

"Reims !!"

Ike exclaimed, quickly stepped forward and blocked Lance.

After a single blow, the black shadow did not stop, and disappeared into the dense forest in a flash.

From the time Lance was attacked to the time Lance was knocked out, there was almost half a bell in Lance's concept, but because of the hourglass of time, others under the shadow felt that it was just a blink of an eye, and Lance was knocked away by an inexplicable black shadow.

It was happening so fast, so fast that before they could react, the shadow was gone.

Along with the dark shadow, Della disappeared, but the attention of the others was on Lance's body, and they didn't notice Dra's departure.

"Hell, how the hell did he do that?"

Teklin asked, his mouth wide open, surprised.

With a sudden attack of this speed, even experienced adventurers like them would probably not be able to get out safely, and this little rookie who had been following them all the time was able to block the other party's attack, which was simply incredible.

Lance gasped, slowly turned over and sat up with one hand on his chest, and Ike quickly turned around when he heard the movement behind him, and came to Lance's side in a few steps.

"Lance, are you okay?"

Ike asked worriedly.

Lance raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and was about to answer, when he suddenly felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".

"Lance!"

Ike shouted anxiously.

"Ike, don't worry! It's bruising, just spit it out, it's okay, don't worry. ”

Orlando stepped forward to check on Lance, and said to Ike, who was at a loss.

He also didn't understand how Lance had escaped the deadly attack, and if he couldn't figure it out, he could only blame it on the boy's good fortune.

"Huhu~"

Lance gasped for breath, relieved himself, ignored the remaining blood stains at the corners of his mouth, raised his head and grinned at Ike, "It's fine, I almost suffered." ”

After a few confirmations, Ike made sure that Lance was indeed okay, and the heart that had been hanging finally let go.

"It's fine, but what exactly was the attack?"

Ike asked curiously.

The shadow had vanished so quickly that he hadn't even seen what it was.

"It's the Panther. ”

"Black Panther?"

"Yes, it's very likely that these knights were the killers. ”

Lance affirmed.

Hearing this, Ike gasped, and instead glanced at Lance with a happy face, Lance was so lucky to be able to escape under the minions of that black panther.

Lance has the matter of the hourglass of time, and no third person knows about it except Candita and Keys.

The two grew up together, got into trouble together, learned swordsmanship together, and traveled around the continent together, Ike was very clear about Lance's strength, and Ike also regarded Lance's escape from death as luck.

"How did you do that?"

With a look of disbelief on his face, Teklin stepped forward and asked.

If he didn't figure things out, he was almost out of interest in drinking.

Judging from the distance of almost a kilometer when Lance was knocked out, anyone with a little common sense could judge from it how terrifying the attack just now was, and for such a sudden attack, Lance could still make such a timely defense, Teklin thought that he could not do it himself.

I'm afraid that among the people present, only the mysterious Della can do it.

What about Della?

Tecklin's simpler brain was a little stuck.

"I ...... I don't know, it's just that I suddenly felt a strong murderous aura coming from behind just now, and then I reflexively pulled out my long sword to block the front, which can only be said to be a fluke, yes, it's a fluke. ”

Lance said.

This plausible explanation fits Orlando and Ike's conjectures, so neither of them has the slightest suspicion about it.

"Hiss......"

Teklin gasped.

It was only by instinct that he was able to avoid this deadly crisis, and how terrifying did it take to be able to do this?

Suddenly, the dwarf Teklin began to re-examine the young man in front of him.

This young man's strength may not be very strong now, but as long as he is given enough time, with this terrifying fighting talent, it is not impossible to become a big man who will shock the entire Kstana continent in the future.

"It's incredible!"

Blank also came up.

"Damn...... What kind of good luck are you? It's so enviable. However, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to guarantee that I would be able to defend against the panther's attack. ”

Suo Long walked over, his envious eyes sweeping over the long sword in Lance's hand.

Obviously, from this attack, he also noticed the inconspicuous longsword that Lance had been carrying.

This is also normal, even the equipment on the Red Cross knights could not resist the attack of the black panther, but Lance's sword blocked the attack, which is enough to prove the strength of this long sword.

Fortunately, Suo Long was only full of envy, and he didn't have any bad thoughts.

Lance, who was so envied, smiled bitterly in his heart.

He had walked in front of the ghost gate just now, and although it was fine, until now, the bones in his body were in pain as if they were falling apart.

"Hey...... Alert, vigilance, aren't you afraid of another sneak attack by that panther......? It hurts me to death. ”

Lance exclaimed, exaggeratedly.

Startled, everyone hurriedly tightened their grips on their weapons and looked around vigilantly.

Fortunately, there was no danger in the future.

"Huh, what about Della?"

The crowd finally found out that Della was missing, but they only guessed that she might have gone after the panther, but they didn't know when she left.
