"Oyado, hide and try to avoid the battle!"

"Got it, big brother~"

After saying that, Oyado flipped backward and hid in the truck. Although I wanted to add that even if we have to eliminate the enemy, we should try not to be noticed by others, I'm sure Oyado can think of that too.

"Now..."

I smirked as I saw people appearing in the bushes.

"It's time for battle!"

Although that's what I said, the actual battle had already begun. Countless magic spells were simultaneously launched from both sides, and at the same time, massive magic barriers appeared in the sky.

Does the enemy have mages too? It seems that they are not just ordinary bandits.

I smiled and quickly dashed towards a level 17 swordsman, catching him off guard. Before he could fully react, I pierced his abdomen with my sword, and simultaneously cast an explosion spell towards his chest. He flew backwards, his body engulfed in flames.

I couldn't use ice magic at a time like this, considering that two of the rescued individuals had seen me using it before. Now I can only make do with fire magic.

The opponent was surprised that I could use magic and quickly got up from the ground, clutching his wound and retreating.

Is that all they've got? Is that enough?

Meanwhile, the others directly avoided me and continued forward. Does that mean they fear me?

"You're quite impressive, being able to use magic," Lois suddenly said next to me.

I turned to look, and she was surrounded by five people. They probably thought they could easily bully her because she's a child.

Naive! Too naive! This girl is a level 25 great swordsman and a Lily lover. You guys are too naive!

Didn't you see the magic-engraved Greatsword behind her, mocking you? Of course, you can't see it.

Because Lois suddenly unsheathed her Greatsword, and with a powerful swing, a white ripple spread out from the center of the strike, causing the people around her to lose their balance.

Immediately afterward, she took a step forward and swung her Greatsword horizontally, causing the five people around her to fly backward. Their armor was penetrated, blood flowing. Their HP bars dropped by half.

Such terrifying attacking power, and such a strong effect when attacking multiple people at once, it's not a joke.

However, unlike me, Lois didn't hesitate. She immediately threw two flying knives, piercing the throats of two people trying to escape from the ground. Then, she accelerated towards one of them, leaped into the air, and intercepted him with a clean cut at the waist. Next, she grabbed his sword and accurately stabbed it into the fourth person's abdomen. At the same time, she dashed towards the last person and sliced him from shoulder to waist.

It's so bloody and violent, even though she's only a fourteen-year-old girl... Recent lolis are truly terrifying.

It seems everything is fine here. I looked at Dell, who seemed to be playing a game.

I saw electric currents flickering on the magic stones embedded in his gloves. Each time they touched an approaching person, they would be paralyzed and unable to move.

Dell just went around, finishing off his paralyzed targets one by one, it was practically a massacre!

And Gabriel, well, I suddenly couldn't see where that guy had gone. Oh well, he won't get hurt anyway.

The fighting power around us was so strong that the battle was over swiftly. Soon, the swordsmen around us were mostly eliminated.

Is this the level of challenge they bring? What a joke, there isn't even one who can fight!

"Ah!!!"

Just as I was thinking that, I heard a scream, and I turned my head to see Dell flying towards me.

I quickly reached out and caught him, only to realize that his abdomen was bleeding profusely, clearly stabbed by a sword!

I immediately took out a healing potion and gave it to him. The bleeding slowly stopped.

I turned to look in the direction he came flying from, and there stood a person in a black mask and black cloak, wielding two swords, standing where Dell had been.

Searphus Lan

Male, 24 years old

Dual Sword Master LV37 ???LV???

Dreadful, Wanted Criminal ????

The infamous mystery man, it seems the enemy also has very strong individuals.

"Stand back! I got this!"

Suddenly, Louis charged forward, swinging his greatsword like a flash of lightning.

"Ultimate skill·Legion·Wind Thunder Slash!"

The blade, accompanied by thunder and whirlwinds, flashed towards the opponent's front! But at this moment, the opponent simply took a step back and swiftly thrust his dual swords from below.

The fierce sword momentum immediately deviated from its direction, causing Louis, who couldn't stop his momentum, to be sent flying upwards!

Accelerate! Spirit of the Wind! Charge!

I directly took out a shield from my ring and charged towards them, exposing Louis completely to the opponent. The opponent would definitely take advantage of this and attack!

Shield strike!

Just as the opponent was about to strike, I used the shield to directly collide with his right side. Although there was a significant level difference between us, the shield strike's 100% knockback effect was certain to activate. Even if it was only one step, it was enough!

Then I grabbed Louis and threw him backwards, simultaneously using an explosion spell directly on the shield to propel myself in the opposite direction.

At the moment I left, my shield was instantly cut into pieces by the dual swords!

That was close! Thankfully, I dodged in time.

"Thank...thank you."

Louis got up from the ground and apologized to me.

"It's alright. That guy is stronger than all of us, so be careful!"

"Okay."

"Dail, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..."

Seeing that his HP bar had almost recovered, it seemed that he was really okay.

"How did that guy appear just now?"

"He suddenly appeared, and he has resistance to my magic. It's probably his armor. The secret silver added to his black armor under his cloak seems to have only momentarily stunned him with my electricity before he stabbed me."

"I see... Higher level and good equipment, huh?"

Such a troublesome enemy. Moreover, I can't use the magic I'm best at. No, wait, I'm a swordsman now, and I only know those basic moves.

If only I had learned more from Yaling back then, it would have been so much better. I didn't expect to encounter such a predicament now.

Where did Gabriel run off to!

But the opponent wouldn't give us any time to rest. He lowered his body and charged directly towards us like a leopard!

"Let's go! Attack from both sides!"

After saying that, we both charged from the sides and met him simultaneously.

Clang!

We both intercepted his attack, but he suddenly shrunk his body and somersaulted over us!

His target... is Dail, isn't it?

He probably thinks that Dail, who is still weak from his cut, is an easier target, unaware that our physical condition is measured solely by our HP bar.

And... I seemed to have seen something very frightening!

It seemed like Dale was holding... a railgun in his hand?

"Loyce, step back!"

Just as I shouted these words, a white lightning directly swept through us, sending us flying away.

Thank goodness he's a teammate, otherwise we would have been doomed!
