No one knows where the big old man came from. No one seemed to have sensed his presence until the man's deep, hoarse voice was heard.
Even the man wearing the blindfold was instantly stunned. Just realizing there was an individual standing right in front of him at such a time was a blunder for someone like him. Moreover, that person has a large body and presence.
'Since when? What's with this guy?' Thought the man with the blindfold.
The two men judged each other. The blindfolded man was still tightly gripping the hilt of his sword.
In his mind, the old man in front of him might be a problem, but for now he had to prioritize his mission. The fragrance of nature that he had smelled before had not moved from its place, the heart was still beating fast like in fear.
'She's still here.'
He thought, who immediately decided to catch the target and ran away from this place. From the body of the old man in front of him, it was highly likely that the old man couldn't move quickly. Especially with the heavy armor that covers his entire body except for the head.
Zap!
The man with the blindfold disappeared from his spot. Surprised the old man in full armor. He immediately turned his head to where a woman peeked from one of the alleys.
"Watch out!"
"!"
Rosalina, who had been watching the tension in front of the inn, suddenly reacted when she heard the warning from the big old man. Reflexively her hand immediately grabbed the handgun on her hip.
In a panicked state, Rosalina kicked Metis with her right foot to keep the little elf out of danger.
Although she couldn't clearly see the movement of the blindfolded man, somehow, Rosalina could faintly see the man who was moving at an unbelievable speed, lunging at her with a sword that would fly to her neck.
Rosalina clenched her teeth tightly. With all her might she forced her legs to move and jumped backwards, dodging the attack, then she ducked when the sword had passed where her neck had been.
The tip of the gun was aimed directly at the head of the man who was now clearly visible one meter in front of her.
'What is this thing?'
The blindfolded man furrowed his brows when he felt something like a short iron rod in front of his face.
Bang!
"!"
'Miss?!'
"Argh!"
Rosalina did not expect her shot, which was at close range, to fail to penetrate the opponent's head. The blindfolded man managed to dodge at the final split second.
But the man did not manage to avoid it completely. The bullet still shot through his cheek and partially destroyed his right ear.
The man rolled on the ground, away from Rosalina's position. His ears were ringing loudly at this moment, making his head dizzy and making him unable to clearly perceive his surroundings.
The man's expression is ugly, trying to understand his surroundings from the vibrations of the air felt by his skin, he knew that he was still in danger. His hearing and smell were a bit disturbed by the shot earlier.
On the other hand, Rosalina, who failed to kill her opponent earlier, did not remain silent. She immediately pointed the gun back at the enemy.
[Don't use your gun!]
'Are you kidding?! I could die! This is not the time to think about identity!'
"Tsk!"
Rosalina didn't care about her current disguise plans. Life is more important! Although she herself still didn't know who dared to attack her in a public place like this.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Rosalina fired three times, of which all three shots were dodged twice by the man in front of her, and the last bullet was slashed in half.
"The fu*k?!"
Shiing~
The man's sword was instantly enveloped in aura and lit up brightly.
"! Aura swords! ...No, these are flying swords?! Shit, Metis!"
Slash! Slash! Slash! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The man slashed his sword three times, making three slashes that flew towards Rosalina and Metis. Reflexively, Rosalina fired her gun three times.
Somehow, her two shots managed to hit the two flying attacks from the man. The two shots managed to break the flying slash attack like a rock breaking glass.
Unfortunately, one last shot missed and the flying slash shot toward the alley where Metis was.
Rosalina panicked, she glanced towards the alley, and saw Metis who managed to escape after sticking herself against the wall.
"Hmm, what a strange weapon," the man mumbled, not understanding how his attacks could be destroyed so easily.
Shiing~
Before she could let out a sigh of relief, Rosalina saw her enemy's sword blazing brightly again. But suddenly, the man's shadow shook like ripples of water.
"Hmm?"
Swoosh!
Instantly a fist shot out from within the shadow, and hit right on the chin of the blindfolded man.
"Urgh!"
The man bounced, then landed hard and rolled on the ground. He looked in the direction where he had been, then turned to the large old man in full armor who stood in front of the inn.
The old man stood with his right hand gone into the shadow of the left palm. From the shape of his hand, the fist that came out of the shadow just now was most likely his doing.
"I knew I didn't like you since you posed so arrogantly in front of the inn earlier. Then you just ignored me and immediately made a fuss with a woman on the side of the road!"
Said the old man as he walked closer. Every step the old man took. it thumped violently against the earth, creating the illusion that the earth was shaking.
"I don't know who you are, but I advise you not to interfere. My business is more than you can handle," said the blindfolded man
"..."
The old man immediately glanced at Rosalina and Metis who were in the alley.
"I really don't like you. Attempting to hurt a little girl in public like this, I don't care about your business or mission, but for me your actions are so disgusting."
The old man immediately attacked the blindfolded man in front of him.
A fierce battle ensued between the two. Destroy several buildings and streets in the vicinity.
Rosalina couldn't keep up with the flow of the fight, not only because she couldn't, but because her mind was distracted by something else.
[The troops from Moonrise and the security forces from the Solmare military are starting to move towards you. Both move from the west and central. Ah, and Amber is hiding on the roof of three buildings two o'clock from where you are.]
"...What kind of situation is this?!"
[Run. Whatever the situation, you who are involved in this battle will not be able to escape the investigation.]
"Tsk!"
Rosalina immediately turned around to take Metis away. But when she just entered the alley, she suddenly remembered something.
'Investigation...? Shit, my stuff is at the inn!'
If the things she had were common things in Etheria, Rosalina wouldn't have thought twice about leaving them.
But in her room, there are many things from Earth. Such as canned drinks, axes and machetes from the earth, to shotguns and bullets. Not only that, there were also items for her disguise.
Rosalina felt it would be unwise to leave all these things, especially if they fell into Moonrise's hands.
"Damn it! How much longer until the two armies comes?!"
[10 to 15 minutes.]
'It's enough. But Metis...thinks Rosalina, what's the best way now...'
Bam!
Suddenly the old man who was fighting was thrown and smashed the wall of the building right next to Rosalina. The old man only sat for a moment before jumping right back up to crush his opponent.
The fight between the two is getting worse. The residents around were running to save themselves, as well as people in the surrounding buildings, including the inn where Rosalina was sleeping.
They scattered out and away. For Rosalina this was the perfect time to come in and take all her belongings, including her wagon parked behind the building.
But taking Metis with her could be very risky, as she was sure the blindfolded man was not alone in carrying out his duties. His friend must be somewhere in this surrounding area.
'Thinking Rosalina!'
"!!" Rosalina immediately turned to where the Amber building should be. She shouted loudly.
"AMBERRR!!!"
