Volume 2 - CH 22

Escape

Quivering before us, the guildmaster yelled,「What are you waiting for? Capture them! Dead or alive!」.

The soldiers who had been frozen in place, drew their swords at his command and prepared for a fight.

I will not kill them since they are this city’s soldiers. However, I brace myself and wait to see their reaction.

Three of them come at me, slashing at once, I retaliate, throwing a blow to one’s gut while I give the second a boot to the face and he rolls onto the third soldier.

「All of you attack!」

The guildmaster ordered once more, but no one moved. I guess now they see the difference in our strength.

Kokuyou kicked two soldiers away, and I floated a fireball again menacingly in my palm.

「I won’t play nice anymore. You guys aren’t against dying, are you?」

The soldiers take a step back on account of my question.

「Damn it. We will retreat for now!」

Galan’s statement relieves me, but I don’t let it show outwardly.

「Don’t forget those bastards, lying there. Kokuyou might trample on them if you do」
