"Gh! Gh!…" Luke coughed violently as he knelt on one knee looking at the guard who had hit him with a pained expression.
"Luke!…" Aslan yelled loudly as she lunged at Luke with a worried expression on her face.
"Luke, are you okay?" Lisa said with an uneasy expression as she approached Luke as well.
"Gh! Yes, I'm fine, don't worry..." Luke said, forcing himself to stand up.
"Looks like they're in the fourth or maybe even in the fifth kingdom," Loe said after using his Spiritual Sense.
[Note: The spiritual sense cannot accurately measure the strength of the opponent, it only gives an approximate insight into the extent of its danger and this connotation changes with many variables. Unless a warrior has special knowledge of the opponent or an abnormally strong Spiritual Sense, it will be impossible to know exactly which kingdom the opponent is in, especially in special situations like the one Leo is in right now]
"Should we unite to fight them together?" Noelle asked with a serious expression as she looked at the guards who were looking down on the group.
Although she does not look like it, Noelle, as the heiress to the throne of Lionar Kingdom, is naturally good at fighting, she is in fact a talented warrior in the fifth kingdom, but unfortunately, her experience in battle is very weak, after all even if ten fighters from the first kingdom unite, they cannot defeat a warrior from the second kingdom, so even if they All united using their restricted strength in the First Kingdom, their chances of winning against these two guards were almost null, and Luke and the others naturally understood this fact.
"If you surrender now without resisting, I promise you that your death won't be painful," said one of the guards with a big smile on his face.
"At least it will be less painful hahaha," said the other guard before bursting out laughing
"…" Aslan, Lisa, Loe, Noelle, and even Luke looked at the guards who were slowly advancing toward them with two swords in their hands with nervous expressions, unable to think of a plan to get out of this situation.
(Should I use that? But even if I use it, I can't win against the both of them) Luke thought as he also looked at the guards with a serious expression.
"I think that you're the ones who should surrender the royal guards already know your location and they will be here soon," said Lisa with a calm voice and a confident expression as she looked at the guards.
Hearing Lisa's words, the guards suddenly stopped and put on a complicated expressions on their faces. Actually, now that they thought about it, it was almost impossible to find this place after all this space was hidden by a powerful formation, and in the guards' opinion these young men and women would not be able to find this place on their own, so there is a high possibility that they weren't the ones who find this place, and now after hearing Lisa's statement, it actually makes sense that The royal guards are responsible for this
(This is bad, Does that mean the plan failed?) One of the guards thought with a nervous expression. Actually, inside this field the guards can't communicate with their comrades outside, so they have no way of knowing if the operation failed or not.
Because of the guards' lack of knowledge of the circumstances outside, they of course became anxious and scared, but they knew that even if Lisa's words were true and they surrendered now, they would be executed by the royal family on charges of terrorism, so the guards had no choice but to trust their masters and continue with the plan.
And so, after deciding what strategy to follow, one of the guards turned to his comrade and said, "You go fix the space boundary I'll take care of the intruders..."
Before the guard could finish his words, he suddenly felt an indescribable pain attacking his brain, but this terrifying pain did not last even for a split second before his consciousnessd isappeared and his body fell to the ground with a huge black ax deeply penetrating his head.
"W-what?…" The other guard looked at his feet, which had become soaked in the blood of his friend, which was leaking at a terrifying speed from his open head, trembling with fear.
"...." Aslan Luke Lisa Loe Noelle and even the two siblings opened their eyes in shock before they all turned around simultaneously to look in a unified direction.
"You should have just surrendered," Fray mumbled in a cold voice as he looked at the remaining guard who was looking at the huge black insectoid beast standing next to Fray.
Nahl is considered an external creature from this world, so of course, the restrictions applied by the angel previously did not affect it, and since it is a spirit that does not depend on the energy of the host, Nahl at this moment was at the top of his power, and of course, it will not face any difficulty in eliminating these two guards.
"I surrender... Please forgive me," the guard mumbled in a trembling voice as he looked at Fray with a begging expression.
"It's too late now, "Fras soon as those cold words escaped Fray's mouth, Nahl disappeared from its place. It didn't take more than a second before Nahl appeared again in front of Fray, holding the guard's severed head in his hand.
(Without any hesitation! So that's why he nickname the cold-blooded monster)Noelle thought in awe as she looked at Fray
"Why did you kill him, he already surrendered?" Suddenly Luke shouted in an angry voice as he looked at Fray.
"I didn't need him, do you have a problem with that?" Fray announced in a cold voice
"You...." Luke
"Luke! stop," Aslan said in a stern voice, interrupting Luke's words.
"Tsk! Alright," Luke said in an unwilling voice.
Although he cannot accept that Fray is still killing people in cold blood like this, he understands why Aslan is trying to stop him from arguing with Fray.
(There is no doubt that Fray considers Luke one of his biggest enemies, but despite having such a strong hidden card all this time, he did not use it to attack Luke, it seems that Fray has changed a lot.) Aslan thought with a complicated expression as she looked at Fray and the huge monster that was still standing next to him.
(There was one noticeable weakness in Fray, which was that he had difficulty controlling his hatred, but it seems that even this weakness has disappeared) Lisa thought with an uncomfortable expression as she analyzed Fray's indifferent expression carefully
"Nahl, leave one of them alive." After not getting a response from Luke, Fray turned towards the magic circle where the two men were still kneeling with closed eyes and said.
