By this time, even the tent that Roy and the others were in had fallen down, and there was nothing covering their line of sight anymore.
The assassin, whoever it was had already broken the defense formations of the tent in order to enter inside and make his attempt.
The fact that Roy and the others hadn't noticed him do so, was a greatly dubious action, but that would have to be addressed later.
At the moment, Roy was lying in the arms of the blue-haired beauty, like he was on the edge of life and death, without caring much about the situation around him.
His full attention was directed towards Raven and her actions, this was a test for her, he wanted to know what she would choose.
After all, no matter how strong and powerful a Rank 4 venom was, it was nowhere close to being lethal to him.
There was no way that the current situation would be able to escape the blue-haired beauty, as she seemed to have understood Roy's intentions as well.
For that reason, she tried her best to make her voice as dramatic as she could, and push Raven to make a choice,
"What are you doing standing there? Come here and help me!"
Raven, on the other hand, seemed to be frozen at that moment, as she had no idea how to act and what to do.
In her eyes, Roy was just a whisker away from death, and the camp seemed to be finished. No matter how many mercenaries were left fighting, the battle seemed lost.
Memories of the time she spent with Roy started passing through her eyes, as she was getting more and more confused about this whole matter.
Should she run away and save herself or try her best and stay by Roy's side. But he didn't seem like he would be able to live through this, and if she took too much time it would be impossible for her to escape.
Surely Roy was her ticket to a good life, and all the perks that came with it, but that was only if he was alive.
The moment he died there was nothing she could take from him, well despite his possessions at the moment.
Thinking like that, a strange thought took birth inside her head, as she erratically approached Roy and the blue-haired beauty ready to help them up.
The moment she arrived right by their side though, she felt a piercing pain on her stomach, and then looked towards Roy in complete shock and stupefaction.
"Why? When?"
"Do you think that your killing intent will escape my senses? If you had just run away I would have only thought of it as your choice, but you actually tried to kill me for my possessions.
It seems like greed it's truly one of the original sins!"
Then under her stupefied expression, Roy got up as if nothing had happened, and then said,
"In these days we have been together, have you truly thought that I am such a good Samaritan as to give me life away for someone I barely know?"
With that out of the way, Roy got up and helped the blue-haired beauty up as well, as he said,
"I hope this serves something!"
"Uhm~! I understand!"
"Can you defend yourself for a few minutes?"
"Yes, I have a Rank 4 Defense Formation with me for cases like this!"
"Very well, then wait just a few minutes for me! I will take care of this mess!"
With that said, Roy disappeared from his spot, and then just like a dark shadow he swiftly and nimbly run through the camp killing any aggressor.
The people involved in this whole mess, especially the hired mercenaries seemed to have given up, and ready to run away.
In their opinion, even if they had twice the numbers, they would still be unable to turn the tables, as the bandits were fighting with their life on the line, while they were afraid of getting hurt.
Yet as they were lost in their fear and desire to run away, one shadow started passing all over the place, and whenever it passed it would leave behind only blood and corpses.
In a battle between Mages and Warriors the side having more Masters, and high-ranked personnel surely had the upper hand.
Before Roy made his entrance the two sides seemed to be about equal or to be more exact, the bandits had a slight upper hand.
But with Roy's involvement that slight upper hand had been completely destroyed, and the bandits started suffering heavy losses.
Until now they had the upper hand and had instilled fear into the hearts of the soldiers, and mercenaries, but with their own joining the dead, they started fearing too.
On the other hand, mercenaries were still unconvinced of all this, but the soldiers seemed to have taken some kind of enhancement drug as they were fighting in a double capacity.
The leader of the bandits together with his 3 vice leaders were making their way towards the center of the camp, in order to apprehend the blue-haired beauty when such a complication appeared.
The leader was similar to a forest barbarian, looking at his large build and body, with a ferocious looking face, while the vice leaders looked like blood vultures that had smelled blood.
Without losing time, he quickly took a look towards the moving shadow, and then said,
"Wolf go take care of that rat! Make it quick, we don't want that Baldy return!"
The wolf was a scrawny vulture, that seemed to have taken an interesting duty, as he licked his lips and said with a grin,
"Very well boss, just let me enjoy that girl later!"
"Hahahahha~! Of course!"
With that said, the scrawny guy immediately disappeared from his spot and launched towards Roy's position like some freefalling hawk.
He didn't seem to even contemplate the fact that he might actually lose against Roy, or that he would be able to escape alive from his claws.
On the other hand, Roy had just sliced the throat of another bandit when he felt a predatory intent upon himself, and without losing time he used Earth Magic and Wind Magic to move out of the way.
His movement was totally instinctual and unpredictable, but he managed to escape the claw coming from behind him, as Wolf was shocked to see he had missed.
Even though he was just a mid-Rank 4 Warrior, Wolf was known through the area for his agile claw attack, and even peak Rank 4 Warriors weren't able to escape that attack.
Seeing that a weak Rank 3 Warrior like Roy had managed to escape his sure-fire attack made the guy extremely shocked, but also pissed off.
After all, this was going to be a big stain on his reputation, something that those other bastards would always remember.
Just as he was thinking like that, he suddenly heard a loud laugh from behind him, and then a hoarse but heavy voice say,
"Haahahahahah~! Wolf, what happened to you? How is it possible for a rat to escape your claw!? Could it be that you have grown old?"
Wolf's face turned red and green, as he didn't lose any second and jumped in attack once again. This time the distance was closer, so the rat shouldn't be able to dodge his attack.
He would finish Roy with one attack and reclaim his honor without caring how did he actually dodge his first attack.
The claw was extended in front of his face, and Roy wasn't even 10 centimeters away from his, this should be all it took.
He was certain in that thought, but just as his claw reached Roy's body he felt like he went through thin air or some cotton.
Not only that but there was only a slight stain of blood into one of his claws. He had thought that for sure he had cut Roy in two, but the reality was much different.
Not only that, but he also felt a slight burning wound on his neck, and checking it with his right hand he found blood.
The cut wasn't deep, and in no way vital, but it was real. The shame, anger, and embarrassment he had felt until then suddenly multiplied by many times, as he became like a slaughtering claw.
All he could think at that moment was how to kill Roy with the highest damage and pain caused, nothing else.
But as if that wasn't enough, Roy didn't stay there to fight with him, but left saying,
"I don't have time to deal with a puppy, I have my wife to save!"
"Arrrgggghhhh~!"
Wolf had already lost all reason and clarity at that point, so being suddenly provoked like that was adding fuel to the fire, and he just screamed in anger and attacked.
At that moment he was more like a beast than a human person, as he followed behind Roy. He had totally forgotten that his claws were covered with poison and that Roy would soon lose mobility.
Well, that was in a normal case anyway, but Roy was no normal person, and if anything venoms and poisons were the least endangering to him.
With the grin of someone whose plot had just worked out, he suddenly didn't continue running but made a sharp turn where he was and made a beeline towards Wolf.
The sudden change caught the brainless Wolf by surprise, and there was no time for him to dodge the attack.
If the attack connected, then there was a big chance that Wolf was dead…
