Luke brought out the healing potions that he placed in his subspace bracelet for emergency purposes and gave them to the wounded men.

It was the best thing to give if one’s body had been invaded by Magi. However, it was different from the time when Hwang Bo-sung was treated.

Right now, the men on the floor were gravely injured, but if by any chance Luke tried to suck out the Magi and ended up absorbing even a little bit of their mana, it was possible for a few to die.

Therefore, it seemed like it was better for him to remove the Magi after making sure that the Magi had stopped spreading. He could then restore their body to its original form.

“Once the emergency aid is done, you won’t be in any danger. I hope you won’t overdo yourself for a while.”

Hwang Bo-sung was interpreting Luke’s words.

General Zegal was wrong about the new group that chased them, and Jo Won-rak, who was anxious about his men, felt relieved.

He thanked the men in the official Rhodesia language.

“I am Jo Won-rak of the Song royal family. I will never forget the grace you’ve shown us today.”

It wasn’t just Luke, but Hwang Bo-sung too who was amazed.

It wasn’t because the man had spoken a very clear Rhodesia language.

It was because they assumed from his clothes that the man held a high status. However, never did they imagine that he would be from the royal family.

And not just the royal family…

“Master, this man is the Song empire’s 3rd crown prince.”, said Hwang Bo-sung.

“Is that true?”

“Yes. I have only heard of the rumors, but I am sure that I remember that name.”

“Hmm… He must be one important person.”

Listening to Hwang Bo-sung’s words, Luke made a happy expression.

The man who might rule the Song Empire one day.

He would be of great help to Luke in his quest to return to Rhodesia Continent.

“By the way, what are your names…?”

At the question from Jo Won-rak, Luke answered,

“I am Luke de Rakan. I govern the Rakan estate in Rhodesia Continent. And this…”

“I used to be from the Hwang Bo clan, Hwang Bo-sung. I’m currently serving as a retainer of the Marquis of Rakan.”

‘What? Hwang Bo-sung?’

Zegal Hui was shocked upon hearing Hwang Bo-sung’s name.

From what he knew, the one called Hwang Bo-sung wasn’t alive anymore.

But to meet that man right in front of him…!

Many questions began to rise in his head. However, it wasn’t the time to ask for answers. Another group of men could raid them.

Therefore, it was necessary to take the 3rd crown prince to Angyong.

“Prince, we will have to talk about the details later on. We need to head to Angyong right away.”

“We will do that, but what about the injured men?”

At the words of Zegal Hui, Jo Won-rak asked with a concerned expression.

There were six injured men including Zegal Hui and the horse rider.

The carriage was broken and the horses had run away.

At the concern of Jo Won-rak, Luke smiled a little sneakily.

“You don’t have to worry about what to ride.”

“Is there a way?”

“Yes, but it could be a little uncomfortable.”

At the words of Luke, both Zegal Hui and Jo Won-rak smiled.

Unlike Hwang Bo-sung who already knew what Luke was referring to, the two men had no idea what Luke was talking about.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The road to Angyong.

Along with the roaring and thudding sound, a rare object was running on the road toward south.

A giant covered with steel from head to toe.
