Chapter 30 Disobedience to the King (2) (2/2)

A knight na shout At the sa out, Max shi+vered and held her breath, burying her face in Riftan’s chest

“It’ll all be over soon, just close your eyes”

She closed her eyes and covered her ears like a child as instructed However, she couldn’t stop the sound of the sword pounding violently or the cry of the angry beast fro her eardru soave a shrill screahtning But before the creature could reach them, it was sliced in two in thin air She looked down at the blackon the floor, unable to understand what had happened

Riftan spit blood from his mouth and it splashed on the hem of his robe

“Gabel, don’t you kno to count? There weren’t five, but six olves”

The knight retorted, “Black olves have stealth powers and can hide easily”

Riftan clicked his tongue, spurring the horse to move forward and saw led around the tree roots like snakes The knights wiped the blood off their swords and got on their horses once again

Max was ao, she read about Werewolves in a book They were clearly described as having bones as hard as iron, and skin as strong and hard as barbed ar it impossible to penetrate How had Riftan killed such a beast so easily?

“There’s sure to be more of these beasts around here, so let’s hurry” Ruth looked around at the other knights, and they all nodded in unison

The horses ran fast as possible and Max grit her teeth to avoid biting her tongue She overlooked the mountain road covered with rocks and trees as they passed the peaks
