Volume 5 Chapter 13 (2/2)
Zeref ceased his thoughts Due to the horse-drawn carriage being stopped suddenly, and his body leans forward
”What happened ? Oi ! What's wrong ?!”
His head hit the sofa's corner,him dizzy
Zeref went outside the carriage when the driver didn't anshile holding his forehead
Due to a small cut received, blood dripped on his beautiful silk clothes
”Oi, what happens…”
Unintentionally, Zeref stopped his words due to the sight in front of his eyes
Bothbox had collapsed Numerous arrows stabbed deeply in their chest
”damn it… It can't be… This is…”
The driver of his carriage were ableofficer and the other one was a good warrior
They both had the capacity to handle up to twenty thieves alone
Even Zeref didn't expect that they would be dead without being able to respond to the attacker
”damn it ! What happened…”
Words filled with curses escaped his mouth -
If he had too many escorts, it would be impossible for him to take quick action and would've drawn tooa s
The skill that was used to kill his bodyguard obviously belonged to trained men
(The one doing this is definitely not the homeless kind of thief whichat my life The question is, who sent them…)
A sound of winds being cut resounded once again and innuain
Zeref quickly used the escort's corpse as a shi+eld
(Only using bow… At least I didn't feel anyinvolved…)
If it was only using bows and arrows, Zeref could still use dead bodies as a shi+eld, but that cannot be said the saic user had, the carriage could have been easily blown up
Conversely speaking, having used only bows and arrows at the beginning suggested that there was no ic user involved
(Unlike ood when it couess, I have no choice here… I can't just sit in silence and get killed…)
Borrowing the sword of one of his dead escort,Zeref hides behind the shadow of the passenger car
The surroundings were covered with dense wood And it was also in the ht
The possibility of a third party co to help him was zero
Furtherone er than a fresh knight… Even the younger knights could easily surpass him if he didn't do well
The problem was his own heart No matter howit, then that poould become dull
However, there was only one way to survive this situation And that was to kill the assassins with his oo hands Even if the possibility of success was low
However, when Zeref was about to solidify his detered dramatically
”Have they run out of arrows ?”
The arrows that were constantly striking the horse-drawn carriage, stopped instantly
Zeref then observed the surroundings from the shadows
Silence dominates the landscape, one could hear the voice of crows from the distance
(Is this a trap ? But if I don't do anything, nothing will change…)
Zeref slowly leaves the shadohile keeping the surroundings under his watch
”Who ?!”
Zeref pointed the sword towards the sound that was co from the depth of the forest
The tension caused his hands to tremble
His throat beco very fast
”Please put your sword down Earl Zeref We've dealt with the assassins…”
The person e from the shadows speak to Zeref with a calm voice
”Don't say so stupid ! Who the hell are you ?!”
The situation was too unexpected And Zeref was not stupid enough to accept it
He kept his sword ready while his hands greeaty
”Do you not recognize me ?”
The owner of the voice graduallyat the face illu a surprised voice
