Young master Gaun was eyeing the burning raven with a complicated look.
His body was coated by unknown power but this power was useless to him.
'Give me back my courting death points!? Why!?'
It was so disappointing for young master Gaun.
Like when someone wins a lottery, but the date has already expired.
Ding!
[ The stronger the target, the higher the reward. ]
[ If the target's desire to kill disappeared for a moment, the user's courting death points would disappear. ]
Young master Gaun thought courting death would be easy.
If he somehow provoked old masters and they took him as an apprentice mage.
Then would all that be useless?
'Great! Is that all?'
Ding!
[ Retrieving all data... ]
Young master Gaun didn't know what to do at this moment.
Leanne only stared at him lovingly and this made him even more uncomfortable.
Ding!
[ Warning to the host, the host's heart must be protected, or the host will die and consume one extra life. ]
[ If wasted too many extra lives, the current host will have to struggle and fight other random alternate universe selves, and if the current host lost... ]
[ The current host will be replaced. ]
[ The extra life will be refreshed after a day. ]
Young master Gaun heaved a sigh of relief, having a superb mood.
'So I can die today.'
'Huh?'
'And then die another tomorrow?'
'Even if my head was cut off?'
'Interesting…'
'This is a miracle.'
Young master Gaun almost vomited as he remembered how he died.
He shook his head and thanked the system from the bottom of his heart.
Even though he knew it was nonsense because he can be replaced anytime.
All of a sudden, the two of them looked like they were lovey-dovey.
Tremble! Tremble!
His feet and calves can feel the massive impact from the ground to their front.
Neigh!
Neigh!
The sound of the trepidation from the horse resounded.
Leanne hurriedly hid her summoned familiar.
"Trolls!!"
The knight riding the horse in front screamed as a warning.
"Protect her highness!"
France came out with a shining light.
Young master Gaun noticed that the knights quickly surrounded their highness, Leanne, and left him alone.
'Fuck it!'
These knights were not the knights of the original body.
That thing, young master Gaun could understand.
However, leaving him alone was a noble to fend for himself in front of the trolls.
'Useless bastards.'
Young master, Gaun thought.
Leanne saw this and was about to scream when France interrupted them.
"Everybody, don't move."
Leanne stopped.
France's voice rumbled in the air as he put magic to it.
''They won't notice us if we don't move."
He commanded calmly as he sheath his sword from his scabbard.
Young master Gaun had no idea what it meant.
Soon they saw a group of an ugly-looking race with giant pimples and snotty noses.
Their arms are tiny compared to their noses and mouths.
Everyone can smell the emanating foul smell they are releasing.
'Are these trolls?'
Young master Gaun was a reader before. He read a lot of trolls and their description.
However, he's afraid to have forgotten it all since there are plenty of trolls racing.
Like in humans, there are black, brown, skinny, small, tall, etc.
However, as soon as the trolls got closer...
Young master Gaun realized this France is bullshitting or France didn't know how to classify a troll.
'A green skin, violet eyes, and bigfoot.'
Although he can't remember anything about the main character.
Young master Gaun can remember this one.
'Grass trolls???'
'Bullshit…'
'This one will kill us if we just stand here.'
All of a sudden, a knight appeared before him.
"Young master sire, let me assist you."
The knight spoke.
Hearing this, the young master Gaun nodded.
"Alright."
The knight beside young master Gaun and France who were protecting Leanne glanced at each other.
And then they nodded.
Lawrence, inside the armor stared at the young master Gaun, analyzing everything.
'France said that this guy was beaten up by Sid.'
'He's a showoff, but he's rich and prepared.'
'Even if it's a high-level potion he is using, I will just Imbue my attack with magic.'
'So maybe I'll just delay him for the trolls to reach him.'
'Let's see if he could drink his potion fast.'
Young master Gaun was worried and was planning to run away.
'These bastards…'
'These lunatics. I'm not sure if this knight is enough.'
Using one knight, young master Gaun plans to use him to get away from this sticky situation or survive.
However, his plan was in motion.
Ding!
[ Supporting character detected. ]
[ Supporting character luck activated. ]
Young master Gaun stared at the notification with sweat on his forehead.
'Don't tell me.'
Young master Gaun's attention suddenly shifted to the knight beside him.
However, he turned his head or glanced at the knight.
[ As the host is a villain, his luck would be lowered by 5 percent. ]
[ While the supporting character's luck would be enhanced by 5 percent. ]
'This is Lawrence behind this armor?'
Young master Gaun thought as he gripped his sword tightly.
'What are you planning?'
'It sounds stupid to me...'
'But considering that fake wife of mine spared me.'
'I guess he is still holding back on killing a noble.'
Young master Gaun counted the guards, and one of them was replaced.
'Does he know every guard?'
Young master Gaun thought for a while.
'It's impossible that they could just dispose of one guard while the others didn't know.'
'However, after considering that these guards were just spared groomed country bumpkins knights.'
'It would be easy to infiltrate them.'
ROAR!!!
Young master Gaun was startled by the roar of the trolls.
The trolls finally noticed them and frantically ran in their direction.
'There is it.'
Lawrence thought as he swiped his sword coated with wind magic.
Young master Gaun felt a fluctuation of magic but he was too late.
Before he could turn his attention to Lawrence, a sharp stinging pain was felt on his calves.
Young master Gaun lost his balance.
France noticed this and screamed at the top of his lungs.
"RUUUUN!! THOSE ARE NOT NORMAL TROLLS!!!"
The eyes of the knight went wide.
Grass trolls.
They are widely known for touching or being hit by a weapon any weaker being than themselves and sapping their mana.
They could also heal themselves as long as they have a Mana.
It's not a problem if they are alone, but if they are together, they would be hard to deal with.
Everyone turned around.
They put all their power on their feet and ran.
Whatever, they are just rooky knights.
They still did not care about code and honor.
They don't give a fuck about protecting these random nobles they just met.
Young master Gaun, seeing them run like a rabbit.
'Bastards!'
Young master Gaun cursed as he finally understood.
'These bastards want to leave me to die...'
Young master Gaun could only helplessly look at them.
When he turned around, the trolls were now near him.
'Shit!'
Young master Gaun uses his Mana.
When his wound turned into a ray of light, he instantly felt better.
However, his attention caught the trolls.
Their rumbling sound and the magic aura they are releasing.
'7th order?'
Young master Gaun finally understood why those inexperienced knights ran away.
These trolls are too strong.
ROOOAAARRR!!
As a roar resounded in his ear, young master Gaun's hair became disheveled.
He wanted to turn around but something was wrong with him.
'What?'
Putting all the power in his hips, young master Gaun noticed he couldn't move.
No matter what he does, or even tries to do.
It's not working.
'Holy...'
France did not run and only extended his hands towards Leanne gently.
"Your highness, those are grass trolls... It would be dangerous for you to stay here."
To France, Leanne is just a normal human with no Mana.
She only gave her a chance to become a knight as she requested one of the knights of the mad tyrant.
For that reason, France wanted to protect her and wanted her to depend on him.
Especially this time.
"Your highness, take my hand. Let's go."
France insisted.
As if his world is crumbling, all his effort and his voice seemed ignored.
Leanne was looking at young master Gaun with such concern.
'No... I cannot accept this.'
France's head became red, his veins bulging on his forehead.
His aura became intense, using mana to strengthen his Knight aura.
Afterward, he put it all in his left hand, wanting to grab Leanne.
To forcefully take her away.
Pak!
France was dumbfounded.
His hands, which were full of aura were swiped like that to the side.
It's as if her highness's hands were a bull and he is just a regular woman.
'What?'
France was stunned at the moment, not sure if this was real or not.
"Out of my way."
Leanne said.
This time, she didn't look like she planned to hide her order from a higher kind of magician.
With a flick of her hand...
Swoosh!
France looked like he was still in a dream, however, he just confirmed it when his vision turned ablaze.
Boom!
