Unlike the others, the blond man is wearing a robe with green branches on a white background.
‘How will I explain it to Mr. Cale?’
Ivan intuitively sensed that the man in front of him was the “Cale” the other men in robes were talking about.
“Hahaha. I wish you had just kept quiet.”
The smiling man’s face turned cold in an instant.
“If you had, you could have lived a little longer.”
The children were frightened by the man’s words.
The words ‘Oh, I’m going to die now’ seemed to be written on the faces of the children.
“Now, who wants to die first? Can you raise your hand?”
“Crazy guy.”
Obviously, if you raise your hands you’ll die, so there’s no way anyone would voluntarily raise their hand.
‘Damn it. Jen. Come back soon.’
Ivan bit his lips hard and prayed to himself.
At that moment, someone jumped up and shouted in a loud voice.
“I started it first!”
It was Lensley.
Ivan looked at Lensley with doubts in his eyes.
What are you doing? Do you want to die?
“Oh, you started it?”
“Yes! I can’t breathe anymore in this barren place.”
“Child. It seems that you don’t cherish your life.”
The gilded man shrugged and laughed at Lensley.
“Hahahahahaha.”
Then he started laughing like crazy.
“You’re doing such a terrible thing, kidnapping powerless kids…. You people stink!”
“Le, Lensley…!”
Next to Lensley was a child, who was quietly holding his breath, called Lensley by his name out of fear.
But Lensley’s words were not over.
There was more he wanted to say.
“Because of me, the children were frightened and shouted. So just kill me.”
“Hmm,”
At Lensley’s bold remarks, the blonde man burst into laughter.
“You really want to die, don’t you?”
[DO NOT SHARE/REPOST OUR TRANSLATIONS READ ONLY AT MOONLIGHT NOVELS]
An ominous energy burst out of the blond man.
The man, as if he had become a ghost, walked leisurely past the bars and approached Lensley.
“You’re so desperate to die that you do whatever you want.”
An eerie energy filled the prison.
And before long, Lensley’s skin turned pale.
Lensley’s death seemed inevitable at this rate.
Zen, he must come back soon!
But will Lensley stay alive until then?
Can we survive until then?
From the moment Cale appeared, Ivan had a thin branch in his hand.
It was a branch that stretched through the rocks throughout this underground structure.
“Oh, doI look stinky to you? Ah! There are so many strange things wriggling under my feet.”
Cale Perez, a blond man.
His nickname was Red Lion’s Mane.
When he used his special explosion magic, his blood-soaked hair fluttered like a lion’s mane, that’s why the nickname was given to him.
Contrary to his fragile appearance, Cale Perez’s character was very belligerent and cruel.
Cale glared at Ivan with his sharp teeth showing.
“Oh, you there? You have great talent but you’re still very immature. It’s a waste to die here today, but I can’t help it.”
Ivan listened in one ear to Cale’s harsh criticism and let it out in the other, maintaining tension.
Cale threw Lensley on the floor.
The children, who had been watching the choking situation, hurriedly checked Lensley’s condition.
“Oh, he’s still alive!”
“But he can’t breathe well. What should we do…?”
“What should you do? You should go through it all together.”
At Cale’s words, Ivan attacked him with the branch surrounded with aura.
Cale gasped and snorted, repulsing Ivan’s attack.
As if Ivan had expected that his attack would be blocked, he naturally proceeded with the next attack.
Boom. Boom.
Whenever the power of the two collided, vibrations spread through the artificially created cave.
Cale was still relaxed and Ivan’s breath was rough.
In the first place, it was a one-sided fight.
Cale was a fairly skilled wizard for 4 years after reaching 6 stars, and Ivan was a swordsman who had just awakened his Aura.
In addition, Ivan’s body was overworked for several days and was very tired.
It was like a battle with a fixed outcome.
“It’s interesting that you have a brilliant talent at your age, but I’m getting tired of it.”
Cale, who had been enjoying the little entertainment, finally got tired of it.
Bang!
Ivan, hit by a small sphere that flew from the tip of Cale’s finger, flew to the wall.
A terrible pain enveloped Ivan’s whole body.
“Haha. It’s pretty nice to see a face distorted by pain. Are you afraid of death?”
“…nonsense,”
“You can still move? I want to raise you properly.”
[DO NOT SHARE/REPOST OUR TRANSLATIONS READ ONLY AT MOONLIGHT NOVELS]
“I’d rather throw away my sword than be your disciple.”
“What. I never wanted you to be my disciple anyway.”
As the man raised his right arm high, the sound of terrified breathing erupted from here and there.
It was then.
A man in a gray robe rushed up to Cale and spoke.
“O, outside…Soldiers are coming! Some people have already entered, we have to hurry up and get out of this place.”
“What?”
When the children, including Ivan, heard those words, they immediately thought of a boy.
Zen.
Zen successfully completed his mission!
“Damn it! What were you doing for this place to be discovered like that?”
“I’m, I’m sorry….”
“Whatever. Hurry up to get the cradle and close this place.”
“Oh, I see! By the way… What about the children?”
“Why would you ask that? Of course, get rid of them.”
Cale’s red eyes shone brutally.
“Here, you take care of it. I have to go get the cradle.”
“Yes! I’ll take care of every single one of them. I’ll get rid of them without anyone realizing it!”
“Of course.”
Cale, with a short click of his tongue, walked past the servile man and disappeared.
The man, ordered by Cale, approached the children with an eerie laughter.
“I don’t want to do this either. But what can I do? This is a world where the weak is a food for the strong once.”
The appearance of the man who told helpless children that they had to die because it was inevitable in the world of weak and strong.
Ivan struggled to get his tattered body up.
“Huh? You’re still alive? What a tenacious kid. But that’s all you can do.”
The man held out a cane and tried to attack Ivan.
However, the man’s magic could not be completed in the end.
Because a large black blade pierced the center of him.
“Gasp!”
The blade sharply slipped out of the man’s body.
The red liquid quickly spread over the gray robe.
dump.
The man, scratching his brown hair, put his lightly polished sword in the sword-case and looked all over the trembling children.
“Ha… Obviously my job was to escort a noble lady. How did this happen?”
There was no sense of murder or hostility in his voice full of annoyance.
He just wanted to quickly get over this.
“Oh, old man… Are you here to save us?”
“Well…. Should I say yes, or no? It’s right that we have to get you all out of here first.”
The children’s eyes gleamed with vitality.
The man, Demarlo, who suddenly had the many expectations and hopes of the children on his back, swallowed a sigh inwardly.
“Here! Here are the kids!”
[DO NOT SHARE/REPOST OUR TRANSLATIONS READ ONLY AT MOONLIGHT NOVELS]
Demarlo waved his hand and called for soldiers to help him.
Soon after, the soldiers gathered, and the children were led by the soldiers and escaped from the prison safely.
The children’s faces glowed at the thought that they were safe now.
But it was only in an instant that the faces of those children were dyed with anxiety again.
Coogong!
“The cave is collapsing!”
“Oh, dear. We must get out of here soon.”
Demarlo and the soldiers hurried to the ground with the children who had been kidnapped and confined.
As the children and soldiers climbed safely to the ground, the cave went off with a roar.
The cave completely collapsed.
“Well, then, there’s nothing left under here.”
“Then we wouldn’t know who did this.”
The soldiers had a conversation with serious faces.
“There are wounded people. Do you have a doctor?”
Ivan exclaimed nervously as he looked at Lensley who had turned gray.
“Of course, we have a doctor!”
There was no pattern engraved on it, but a girl jumped out of the black carriage, which seemed to be a luxurious carriage.
Everyone’s attention was focused on the sudden appearance of the noble girl.
Ivan also turned his gaze and looked at the girl who appeared loudly.
“Doctors take care of the injured. I’ll pay you extra money. And… Demarlo!”
The girl’s clear voice called for Demarlo.
“Sigh. I’m a first-rate mercenary, my colleagues will be very upset if they find out that I’m a servant to a noble little girl.”
The faces of his laughing colleagues were in sight.
Demarlo finished his lamentation and raised his aesthetic hand.
“Come here! You’re my escort!”
“Ha…. what happened to me….”
Demarlo moved erratically.
He mumbled secretly that it was her fault for tampering the contract.
“Bring that kid with you!”
The girl naturally gave orders to Demarlo.
Demarlo moved as the girl wanted without saying a word.
Not long after that, Demarlo put a scruffy little boy in front of the girl.
“Zen!”
The child Demarlo had brought to the girl was Zen.
At Zen’s appearance, the children who escaped gathered their voices together and called Zen.
The girl lightly ignored the voices of those children, and asked Zen.
“You must keep your promise, kid, I personally gave up my family’s soldiers because you said there’s a handsome boy, so, where is he?”
Ivan heard the girl’s words and widened his eyes.
You gave up your family’s soldiers just because of that?
What a strange person. No, but it’s undeniable that I’ve been helped.
Ivan let out a small sigh and walked over to the girl.
[DO NOT SHARE/REPOST OUR TRANSLATIONS READ ONLY AT MOONLIGHT NOVELS]
The soldiers blocked him, but the girl shook her hand as if it was okay.
“I would like to thank you.”
Ivan bowed his head without revealing his identity and expressed his sincere gratitude.
The girl looked intently at Ivan’s face.
When Ivan felt burdened by her blazing eyes, the girl opened her mouth.
“It’s you. The kid Zen spoke of.”
