Sherman looked at Eustace and Philip, who were running away after he allowed them to leave. He couldn't help but realize how old he had gotten over the past years working as a bounty hunter.
'That fellow is only about fifteen or sixteen years old, but he actually managed to stop 50% of my full-force attack… What kind of monster did the Dark Arts Faction create this time? Did they forget how they were almost annihilated because of their experiment?' Sherman shook his head as he shifted his attention to the people behind him.
A cute and plump female Arcanist, followed by a dozen Radiant Knights, were rushing to the village.
Needless to say, the female Arcanist was Erika, his assistant. She had called for reinforcement since they were expecting to fight against the Masked Devil Incarnate.
"W-what happened here? Where's the enemy?"
Erika was shocked as soon as she saw the destroyed house and the fleeing villagers.
