Under the cloak of night, Rein, delighted, was carrying a sheepskin-wrapped greatsword and walking towards his home.
At that moment, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man in black approached him with a smile and asked, "Hello, could you tell me how to get to the Oak Tree Tavern in Flashgold Town?"
The Oak Tree Tavern?
That's the Brow family's place!
Just as Rein was about to turn around to point out the direction, a sudden alarm went off in his mind!
A streak of black light, fast as lightning, was rushing towards him.
"Ha!!"
In the blink of an eye, Rein twisted his body with all his might, gripping the Dual-Handed Greatsword with both hands, and from top to bottom, he swung with all his strength, delivering a Furious Slash!
Almost simultaneously, a streak of black light flashed by, and Rein felt a slight pain in his right rib.
"Bang!!"
Dust flew up!
It was the first time Rein had missed.
