Chapter 503: New Enemy (2/2)

At the same time, those with the beast's hands destroyed Sofia's Dragon Head and the Ice Magic she cast to stop them.

With this, they had three ways to reach the orphanage while only Sofia and Roselyn took care of the entrance on the opposite side.

Sofia turned around and shouted, ”Roselyn, handle the three women first.”

Roselyn nodded with a serious expression as she changed her direction and cut down the trio. Sofia, on the other hand, used another magic to freeze the remaining enemies, leaving only the boss to reach the orphanage.

However, three women emerged from the shadow, attacking him from three directions. They were the helpers that Arnaud gave to protect the kids inside and they finally had the chance to show they were not useless.

Before they could even taste the power of the leader, they felt a gentle gale from the side, only to find Roselyn appeared behind the leader, sending his head flying.

Roselyn felt relieved. ”Luckily, he is not that fast…”

”…” The three women were speechless, not having any words to comment on her remarks other than ”As expected from S Rank Magicians.”

Unfortunately for them, the situation didn't go as planned. Despite their continuous effort, someone with enough strength was enough to fight against them.

In the corner of the house, the squid had seen everything from the girls' appearance to their strength.

If other protectors thought observing was not needed because they were just mere humans, it was different for the squid, Kerza.

As one of the strongest fighters, Kerza never underestimated his opponents, even if they were weakling. That was why he could climb the rank.

This time, his opponents had some experience under their belts since they had helped Kai kill two of his friends. In addition, Sofia had gone to the US Base to kill some more, so they indeed couldn't be underestimated.

After understanding everything about them, the squid finally made his appearance, walking with two tentacles like that of human feet.

”!!!” Sofia widened her eyes and sucked a cold breath. Even though she had expected this person to show up, she was still surprised when she saw him with her own eyes.

After all, the latter showed an overwhelming flame that reflected his danger level. The squid was far stronger than her. Even Sofia couldn't see how to defeat this guy.

Her only relief was the fact that they were going to fight on land without any water source nearby. They should have enough advantage to repel him, if not kill him, she thought.

”Roselyn. We are going to fight him. I can only see that our chance of defeating him is slim. Do you dare?” Sofia smiled while taking a deep breath, calming her heart down.

”Even if I need to lay down my life here, I will kill him.” Roselyn nodded with a serious expression.

The squid looked at the two girls' expressions and felt impressed by their resolve.

”You… Why are you trying so hard? I am surprised by the fact you can glimpse my strength, but I still can't understand why you are trying so hard to protect those children.”

”I am their elder sister. That's enough for me.” Roselyn smiled and raised her sword.

”If my boyfriend can protect the world, I will be ashamed to not have the ability to protect an orphanage.” Sofia shrugged and made another Magic Circle as she was ready to confront him.

”Hahahaha!” Kerza laughed out loud as he was astonished by their answer. It was a simple, yet, irrefutable resolve. ”You two amuse me. Alright. I have decided. In honor of your bravery, I, Kerza, promise that I won't lay my hand on those people inside the orphanage. I am here just to claim both of your lives. I promise you in the name of the Great King, Neptune.”

Sofia and Roselyn exchanged looks. Although they didn't understand the significance of that name, they knew Kerza was serious.

”In that case…” Sofia flicked her fingers and activated the Magic Circle.
