“Gosh!

How fast is he!”

Vivian who was chasing Milot was still farther than him, even though she was using her skills and enhancement spells, she was still not fast enough to keep up with him.

It was clear that she was just tagging along with him and if they came across an enemy that He couldn’t handle, she would certainly not meddle around and head back!

The difference in their strength was clear even while running through the forest.

‘Will this be enough!’ She doubted her worth, it was a heavy burden for her. She was training hard to keep up with everyone else, but in the bunch of all these special people, she felt left alone, thinking from her point of view!

Right now it wasn’t time to think about all this.

Luckily she was fast enough to get to the crime scene just a tiny bit later than Milot who was hiding from something,

She approached him from behind,

“What happened!” she asked him as he was staring off into the distance,

“Shhhh!

See that?” he pointed towards a shadow in the distance, it looked like some guy!

A skinny one, also there weren’t any weapons visible on him, but something about his appearance ticked Milot good.

“Do you see that symbol on his dress?” he pointed out what was the matter.

“That looks rather ordinary!

A crow?

What does that mean?” Vivian didn’t get it,

“Hmm, can’t blame if you can’t recognise it,

It’s a famous symbol among adventurers, it means danger!” he explained it calmly,

“Ever heard of Gnosis?” he asked her in low voice,

On which she nodded as no,

“Hmm, they are kind of hired contract killers, and if you have enough money, you can hire them as bodyguards as well!

If you look closely, the crow is gripping upon a snake! That means this one must be one of the Xenose’s!

It’s rare to see one like this?

What is he doing here?” his explanation helped her clear some doubts but she too had the same question, what was a person of such calibre doing in here,

Though they didn’t need to wait long, the reason that was enough to take him out was right in front of him.

As he walked close to a certain tree, the lantern he carried cast light upon it revealing what they were looking for,

“It’s her!” Vivian recognised her, Agnes!

“I know, but you just overlooked something, ” although she was glad to see her, she did overlook something,

“No way!” although they know what was waiting for them, seeing it in person was more horrific,

There was a pile of lifeless Sentinel Warriors lying next to her.

The culprit seemed to close in on her,

“Don’t!” Milot wasn’t happy about what he was watching,

Even though they were standing so far, they could feel his strength, an individual capable of dealing with that many people and still being so confident to not even carry any visible weapon.

This indicated that the opponent must be skilled enough to not worry about any intruders.

“Don’t act rashly,

If we do, we might not get a chance to avenge them!” Vivian tried to hold him off,

“Relax!

You don’t have an idea on how I fight for real!

Stay here and observe!” Milot was not in the mood of listening to anything, he just wanted to vent his anger on the intruder!

‘Swooosh!’

Ignoring her plea, Milot charged in just like that!

“Idiot!

Wait!”

She had no choice but to stay hidden and observe, the strength gap between them was just too much and she knew it!
