Just as Alan was about to unleash the Sword of Silence, the sound of ice crystals forming came from behind him. It was a sound like shattering glass, vibrating through the air and into his ears. Alan's wrist dipped slightly, concealing the sword's momentum. He turned his head.
A huge ice blade extended from Sylphie's outstretched fingertips!! In one strike, it pierced through the person's head! Blood gushed out. The headless body slumped from the window into the carriage. The mangled head fell to the carriage floor with a splat, like a pile of mud.
Alan froze for a moment, then turned to look at Sylphie. The latter's face was pale. The earth fortress magic around her was crumbling like quicksand. She stared at the human head she had personally turned into mush, her expression dazed. Her reddish-brown pupils contracted continuously. In her eyes, the ground was like the crushed bones and minced meat from making monster food at home.
It would have been better if she could have treated this corpse as a monster. After all, there was no psychological burden in killing monsters. But the shattered ears, the eyeball that had fallen to the ground with a long, bloody nerve attached, the scalp stuck to the pale skull with hair, and the entire flayed face all told her: this was a human.
One she had killed.
Sylphie's gaze tried to tear away from the head several times, but in the end, she forced herself to look at the mangled remains on the ground. A blue vein throbbed on her temple between her white hair. It was as if she was trying to force herself to accept the setting of 'ah, it's just killing a bad guy', which was very easy to accept. After all, she was going to adventure with Alan and Roxy in the future. She couldn't back down because of something like this. But the crumbling earth fortress magic showed that her heart was not as calm as her surface. The seven-year-old child's expression was somewhat strange.
"Don't look!" At that moment, Eris grabbed her head and turned it away, pouting and staring straight at Alan. Even in her young state, the wild dog had a high tolerance for 'new' things, but even so, her face was pale with fright. However, she still maintained a stubborn posture, staring straight at Alan, as if to show how brave she was!
The sound of an ice blade piercing the rain came from outside the carriage. It was Rudeus from the carriage behind them, clearing out the kidnappers with ice blade magic. The ice blades flew through the candlelight in the carriage like streams of light, piercing through the few remaining kidnappers who were already preparing to flee after seeing the fierce man from Buena.
With the sound of hurried footsteps in the water, Rudeus, who had woken up from his sleep and counterattacked, stood in the water, shouting in the rain. "Alan! Sylphie!! Are you guys okay?!"
Alan took a deep look at Sylphie, whose expression was not right, and turned to shout at the approaching Rudeus, "We're fine!!" But what echoed in his 'Sense Flow' was Sylphie's rapid heartbeat. "Thump, thump." It was mixed with the other heartbeats in the carriage. "Thump, thump." It was very clear. Including Alan's own heartbeat, it was a dense, continuous beat. But if you listened carefully, there were a total of six heartbeats. Three of them were very chaotic, while the other three were very stable, so stable that it was as if... this scene was expected.
Alan's pupils suddenly contracted! Something's not right!!
At the same time, in his ears, Eris's breathing suddenly became chaotic!
He turned his head! Two flashes of light appeared in his eyes almost simultaneously!! They came from the corpse that had just leaned in from the ground! A disguise technique of the North God Style! The head on the ground was real, but the real assassin was hidden under the hooded raincoat!
Alan's figure dissipated on the spot like a puff of blue smoke. The next moment! In Eris's panicked and unresponsive red pupils! A brilliant spark erupted! A long sword and a dagger collided fiercely in mid-air, creating sparks. The sparks shot out and hit her fair face, 'corroding' little blood spots on her skin! But in Eris's dynamic nerves as a beginner swordsman, she still stared in astonishment at the figure in front of her!
There were two flashes of light. One was slightly slower, heading for Eris's face! The other was aimed at the position where Alan's Sword of Silence would inevitably pass, and it was aimed precisely at his neck!
This was a choice. But Alan had made his choice the moment the light flashed. The Dragon Saint's battle aura in his abdomen suddenly tightened, instantly 'dyeing' the battle aura in his body. The Rock Domain was instantly released by Alan at this moment. The flickering candlelight in the carriage seemed to freeze. His pupils slowly turned, looking at the two small figures that emerged from under the hooded raincoat. This was a long-planned, insidious strike from the North God Style!
In times of extreme danger, people often fall into an overload of thoughts and visual nerves. In the past, Alan used the techniques of the Water God Style to actively enter this state. But today, for the first time in a long time, he once again felt the danger to his life. In his senses, the cold wind on his neck had already brushed against his hair!
Thoughts flashed through his mind at lightning speed!! 'It's too late, the Rock Secret Art can't defend in time!'
The hair on his neck was cut! The tip of the blade touched his skin! It was the feeling of approaching death! A bit cold... but Alan's inner voice was 'roaring'!!
'The feeling of my movements not being able to keep up with my thoughts!!'
The candlelight flickered in his eyes. What flickered within was not a look of panic! But excitement!! When was the last time he had this feeling?! It was when he was sparring with Leda! What was the use of the Rock Secret Art against her?! Without the Rock Secret Art, did he have no countermeasures!?
Damn it, who are you looking down on!! I'm a Sword Saint of the Water God Style, with 'perception' as my core!!
A short blade, a dagger! A thin blade!! The tip of the blade extends 2 centimeters! Thickness 0.2 millimeters! Turn my head! 30°! The blade can only cut the windpipe! It won't hit the artery!! The blade isn't long enough!!
A flash of light crossed the carriage! A fountain of blood sprayed from Alan's neck!! It splattered all over Eris's face beside him! But Alan's hand remained steady. The momentum of the Sword of Silence had already been unleashed!!
A flash of light! The carriage was split in two!
"BOOM!!"
Sparks suddenly exploded in the air!! That figure had actually instantly dropped the dagger aimed at Alan's neck and pulled out another long sword from his waist, narrowly blocking Alan's trade of injury for injury!
The carriage was split in two with a bang! The floor tilted! Eris, Sylphie, and the cat-girl all slumped to the ground, 'sitting' in a pool of blood and water. The assassin's figure had already retreated two meters away.
In the dark rain. Four rabbit ears trembled slightly in the rain. Under the rabbit ears were the smiling faces of a man and a woman. Beastmen—the Miltet tribe.
Who were they?
The North King—'Twin Swords', Nakuljade!

Ruimagiac reminded me. Everyone, wait until this encounter is over and read it all at once. I'm ashamed, this part-timer is really too slow. I'll remind you in the chapter title when this part is over, then you can come back and read. I'm sorry.
