The result of their attempt to intervene was exactly what they witnessed now: they couldn't stop this man even in the slightest.
Any one of them who approached was no match for the adversary.
Their astonishment was such that they hadn't even seen the man use any techniques or spells—just his physical strength was enough to send them flying.
It was utterly inconceivable.
And extremely terrifying!
They simply could not halt such a man; they had been retreating all the way until they reached this location.
In fact, the members of the Holy Fire Guard could hardly believe it themselves—this man had broken in and toppled their ranks in less than the time it took for half a cup of tea to brew.
In less than half a cup of tea's time, they had been utterly defeated.
It was not just a disgrace!

Disgrace was better than death!
When this group of defeated Holy Fire Guard members saw their Chief Flag Officer, it was as if they had found their backbone, as well as a lifeline.
