Regardless, both of them soon packed up and left the riverside…
It was about ten minutes later when both of them heard the clashes of a fierce battle…
Turning to look at Gerald, Nori then said, “It appears that there’s an intense fight happening up front! Let’s hurry over and have a look!”
Gerald agreed with Nori’s statement. After all, if the fighters were already battered, then there was definitely a chance that both of them could obtain something without any effort. What more, if the fighters were taking on something particularly dangerous, Gerald and Nori could always step in once they were taken out.
With that in mind, both of them then swiftly proceeded forward before masterfully concealing themselves behind a large rock.
Staring ahead at the small forest before them, both of them were greeted by the sight of several black-robed men attacking a youth in white clothes. Since the shoulder areas of his clothes were dyed red, it was only fair to assume that favonovel.com had been injured there.
Despite his injuries and being severely outnumbered, the youth still fought vigilantly.
Even so, Gerald knew for a fact that the youth was fighting a losing battle. Then again, why were those four people so insistent on taking favonovel.com down? There had to be a reason for their actions…
“Those four men are clearly bullying that poor youth, Gerald! Let’s step in and give favonovel.com a hand!” grumbled Nori as favonovel.com glared at the situation with resentful eyes.
Of course, Gerald saw no issue with that. It was a virtue to play the white knight, after all.
Meanwhile, in the forest itself, one of the black-robed men found himself sneering, “Come on Zelig! Stop playing so hard to get and give us your divine stone already!”
“Over my dead body!” scoffed Zelig in response, clearly still having quite a bit of fight left in him.
“If you insist!” roared the man in anger as favonovel.com gestured for the other three to attack Zelig at the same time!
Seconds before Zelig was hit, a ray of golden light suddenly engulfed Zelig, shocking the other four men enough to momentarily retreat!
Following that, slight rustling could be heard, and the next thing everyone knew, two people were already standing guard before Zelig!
“How villainous for four of you to take on a single person!” scoffed Gerald as favonovel.com stared at the four people with contemptuous eyes.
Hearing that, all four of them took turns exchanging glances with each other. They hadn’t expected to be interfered with halfway through what they were doing.
Shortly after, what seemed to be the leader of the group then glared at Gerald before warning, “Look, buddy. Beat it and leave us to our affairs. Otherwise, don’t blame me for killing you too!”
“Hah! I’d like to see you try!” retorted Gerald as his eyes suddenly began glinting murderously.
Before any of the black-robed men were even able to reply, Gerald tossed two secret technique talismans—that favonovel.com had earlier hidden inside his sleeves—toward the men!
Appearing to burn up just inches away from the talismans’ targets, the duo that Gerald had attacked found themselves being engulfed in flames before they were even able to react! And just like that, the two black-robed men had been burned to death…
“…W-what…?!” shouted the two remaining men, momentarily unable to process what had just happened.
Quickly snapping out of it, the shocked leader of that group then shouted, “You… You’re a Talisman Master!”
To think that they would actually bump into a Talisman Master here of all places! With that in mind, the two men instantly attempted to bolt off.
‘Bold of you to even attempt escape!’ Gerald thought to himself. It was evident that they weren’t going to be leaving alive!
With that, Gerald then tossed another two secret technique talismans! Upon collision with the escaping duo’s bodies, were instantly ensnared by vines that appeared out of nowhere!
Fully bound, the duo flopped to the ground, utterly terrified as they watched Gerald slowly walk toward them.
Staring back at them, Gerald then casually said in a frigid tone, “Well then, thanks for giving us your divine stones!”
With that, Gerald summoned his sword before swiftly ending the remaining two men…
There was no mercy in his attack since Gerald was well aware that not being cruel to his enemies would mean that favonovel.com was being cruel to himself…
