Chapter 38: Getting Attacked 3

“That was really cool, young Lord.”

“That is true. That was really assertive.”

Rogers and Luke were admiring the preparedness of Luke.

The other wizards were like that too, but they had never thought that Luke would be using magic.

They knew that he wasn’t a wizard, and as Luke suddenly used magic, they got caught up in a shock.

“The trick that you just used was a magic spell, right?”

“General, I assure you that our young Lord will definitely be a Rune knight…”

“If you have the energy to talk like that, then run faster!”

Luke and his party ran down the mountain.

Perhaps there would be better places to hide than in the plain lands, and their opponents, who were chasing after them, would encounter some trouble.

However, there was a problem they hadn’t thought of.

It was easy to hide from the enemy, but it was going to consume a lot of stamina.

Philip and Rogers were expert knights, and they trained to have extraordinary stamina, and Luke had just strengthened his body with the Magi crystals.

But it wasn’t easy to get rid of those who were chasing after them that were riding horses.

Knights were very good at tracking and searching and so were the dirty assassins.

“There it is!”

“Dammit, these guys are very persistent!”

As the Shadow Knights continued to chase after them, Philip trembled.

Rogers pushed forward with a firm look.

“We’ll buy you some time. Young Lord should avoid them first.”

“However…”

“Please do not worry. We aren’t so weak to be deceived by such dirty men.”

Luke knew that too.

If Luke was there, the two of them might be forced to fight and protect Luke at the same time, which would not allow them to fight properly.

‘Surely if I use the golems or dark magic, then things would be easier…’

There were many things which had to be done in the future, but would it be wise to reveal them already? And if even one of the retainers raised suspicion on Luke, things would turn annoying quickly.

Luke decided that he should flee first.

“Both of you, don’t die on me.”

“Sure, don’t worry about us and go!”

After sending away Luke, Philip and Rogers pulled out their swords.

At the same time, both of them manifested their aura’s and ran toward the assassins.

“Die!”

“You dare to go against the family of Rakan? You’ll be finished because of your arrogance!”

Running toward the assassins, the two of them fought with their swords without rest.

The shadow knights were bleeding to death because of their strikes.

“Kaack!”

“Euk!”

“Dammit, don’t go in alone! Go in groups!”

The courageousness and the fierce force of the two were like two lions going against a huge herd of wild dogs.

The assassins were beginning to get restless and tried to work together with their colleagues, but it only resulted in dozens more dying and getting injured.

Inevitably, they all had to devote themselves to trying to take them down without being able to chase after Luke.

After an hour of running.
