425,
"The... the shield was kicked away!?" The guards behind Eumerika were all shocked by Yuna's kick.
"Calm down!" Eumerika immediately shouted, snapping the guards out of their stupor.
"It's impossible for anyone to touch a Slow Orb with their body, she must have used a water-based magic to deflect it."
"But, at the moment when magic touches each other, the magic source should..."
"Yes... it should have been hit by a second Slow Orb as well..."
Eumerika looked at the fox in front of her, trying to analyze the magic source on the fox.
She condensed her magic into a shield, enhancing her body with earth attributes, so the only possibility was...
"She... she is a mage who can use dual attributes."
Eumerika calmly stated her analysis, making all the guards tense at the sight of this mysterious formidable opponent.
Enhancing physical abilities with earth magic, and then using water magic to keep herself from touching the Slow Orb...
As Eumerika contemplated how to deal with Yuna, Yuna suddenly jumped towards the building on the left.
"This?! My lord!!" Eumerika raised her hand, commanding all guards to calm down and not pursue blindly.
"What we need to chase is not that fox."
The guards were puzzled by Eumerika's decision.
"Fools! That fox just appeared to protect the person wearing the ridiculous mask..."
As she spoke, Eumerika smiled.
"In other words, if we chase that ridiculous rat, this fox will be forced to show up!"
"I see now!!"
On the other side, the carriage continued to gallop, passing through the small streets and turning right back to the main street.
The carriage sped on, with sounds of battle in the distance.
As the sounds faded, the pursuers dwindled, leaving only one carriage in the rear.
It should have been so, but as they turned into the next bend, Cyclone felt something amiss.
"This is..."
At a crossroads, two carriages suddenly appeared, one in front and one to the right.
Cyclone immediately turned left, but at the end of this street, there were paths to the left and right.
Similarly, faced with another carriage, Cyclone was forced to turn left.
"Damn, they're trying to close in slowly!"
The man stood up, seeming to prepare to find a chance to jump off.
"Great! The School of Water!"
When Cyclone shouted, Cyclone also smiled.
The man glanced at Cyclone, then at the road ahead.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't tell me..."
"That's right! Let's settle this once and for all!"
To truly shake off the trouble behind, Cyclone decided to take the way forward.
Ahead was a crossroads, with main streets on both sides.
But the intersection ahead was special.
"That's not even a street, just an alleyway!"
Judging by its width, while the carriage could barely pass through, the "barely" meant there was no room to spare.
It was clearly an impossible task, but the carriage continued to speed ahead.
If entering Tiny's alley at this speed, any slight deviation would result in the carriage being smashed into pieces.
At this rate, not only would they fail to escape, but also be thrown out of the carriage due to the powerful impact when hitting the narrow passage.
It's impossible, no one can do it, except...
The man remembered, twenty-five years ago, when he was still a child.
On the same street, in the same situation, there was a man who, at that moment, rushed in.
It was once, and only once.
Since that time, this legendary driving skill never appeared in the world again.
Watching Cyclone’s figure disappear, the man seemed to see the past.
"Come on!!"
Cyclone adjusted his position.
However, just before entering the intersection, another carriage forcefully darted out.
As they entered the final phase of the maneuver, Cyclone had to swerve sharply to the right because of this unexpected carriage.
In that moment, Cyclone vaguely saw that the right path was already blocked by guards.
Damn it... in that case...
Glancing back at the original destination, the narrow street of Tiny.
Turning right, losing the adjustments made in a straight line.
Now... should they turn back again?
Charging into that narrow alley at an angle was a hundred times more difficult than driving in a straight line.
It's impossible...
While the carriage was still drifting, Cyclone already knew of his failure.
But looking at his hands, the ones that had undergone surgery today, Cyclone once again tightly grasped the reins.
In that moment, Cyclone tugged with his left hand, forcing the horse to turn to the left.
"No way!! Are you out of your mind!!"
"That's right... You bastard!! Just had my first night!! Who would get caught here!!!"
Even though startled by the sudden appearance of the carriage, Cyclone decided to turn back in the original direction.
Aiming for the narrow alley, entering at an angle.
"Charge!!!!"
