The sudden turn of events caused the fist that was originally aimed at Damsdin to veer off course, crashing loudly into the wall beside him.
The immense force sent debris flying from the wall, cutting Damsdin's cheek.
"Who is it!"
The Sea People quickly retracted their fist, their cold slit pupils turning towards the silver flash, which turned out to be a finely crafted throwing knife.
At Sain Street Corner, a girl dressed in a white swordsman's outfit appeared, her hair flying wildly due to the airflow.
Huff... Huff...
Rapid breaths accompanied by sweat.
Freya looked coldly at the three people lying on the ground, without uttering a word.
Clang!
The Cross Sword was suddenly drawn from its sheath.
The dissipating airflow around her intensified once again.
Freya swept towards the Sea People like a whirlwind.
Clang clang clang!
Seeing the fallen Guard, Freya quickly walked over to support him.
"What happened?!" Freya frowned as she clearly saw that the Guard's right arm was unnaturally twisted, indicating it was likely broken.
"...Sister... I... Captain Nick... cough," the emotional outburst caused the Guard to spit out a clot of blood.
"Don't panic, take your time!" Freya steadied his emotions and spoke softly.
"Cough cough... Nick... Captain Nick and Captain Damsdin were attacked... by the Sea People... at the corner of Sain Street..." His fragmented voice made Freya pause slightly.
"The Sea People attacked Nick?!" The information from the Guard undoubtedly startled Freya, but it seemed that Nick was indeed in great danger.
Just as she was about to grab her Cross Sword and head out, Howard Bailey and Eric were also drawn to the noise outside.
However, when they saw the bloodied Guard next to Freya, who was barely able to stand, Howard Bailey's expression changed, and he quickly approached.
"What’s going on?!" he asked in a deep voice.
"It seems Nick encountered an attack from the Sea People; it's quite serious. If you have other questions, ask him. I need to go…!"
Without delay, Freya pointed at the severely injured Guard and then burst out with a surge of energy to leave.
"…"
Howard Bailey watched as the girl quickly left, his gaze narrowing slightly before he swiftly turned to Eric.
“Eric, go find Andrei and tell him something might happen.”
Suddenly faced with such a situation, Eric was momentarily stunned, but upon hearing Howard Bailey's voice, he quickly snapped back to reality.
“Yes!”
Eric nodded immediately and quickly walked out the door.
After watching the two leave, Howard Bailey's expression turned serious as he picked up the Guard and walked directly into the room.
On the way, Freya, bursting with energy, ran swiftly with a dark expression, her entire being resembling a white whirlwind.
The surrounding pedestrians could hardly see her clearly, only able to vaguely make out her figure.
Sain Street, which she had passed while shopping yesterday, was a street selling groceries not far from the manor. At her current speed, she estimated she could reach it in less than three minutes.
'I hope nothing happens!' A cold light flickered in Freya's eyes.
...
At the corner of Sain Street.
The heavy smell of blood and the occasional loud explosions had turned the once lively street eerily quiet.
The ground was littered with a large number of destroyed items and blood.
Aside from two humans dressed in brown Leather Armor lying in the corner, there were several blue-skinned Sea People on the ground.
Bang!!
Damsdin's massive body was violently thrown against the wall, the tremendous force causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood, and his giant sword slipped from his grasp.
Opposite him, a muscular blue-skinned Sea Person grinned menacingly at the impact of his powerful strike.
He had no weapons, only iron gloves with sharp spikes about an inch long on his hands.
At that moment, fresh red liquid slowly dripped from the spikes of the gloves.
The shark-like teeth of the Sea Person occasionally flashed in and out of view as he surveyed his surroundings and grinned wider.
"I didn't expect you to discover me! The person you desperately let escape knows so many of our secrets!!"
"Pfft."
Damsdin, who had just spat out another mouthful of blood, looked gloomily at the incredibly strong Sea Person before him, his voice slightly distorted by pain.
"...I don't know any secrets! You attacked us first!"
"I'll tell you what I dislike most about you humans. Do you know?" Upon hearing Damsdin's response, the Sea Person's enormous pupils suddenly narrowed into slit pupils like a crocodile's. He slowly approached with a murderous intent and said,
"I dislike your dishonesty the most!"
Damsdin's expression stiffened.
Half an hour ago, four people arrived at Sain Street to purchase supplies under Baron's orders. While they were in the middle of their shopping, Nick suddenly felt the need to find a place to relieve himself. To his surprise, he stumbled upon a hidden door that had been sealed off at a corner.
As he curiously opened the door, a group of fierce Sea People inside were startled by his sudden intrusion.
Thus, a battle ensued...
Looking at the murderous Sea People, Damsdin felt a sinking feeling in his heart. Aside from Nick and another trusted aide who managed to kill a few Sea People at the beginning, they were quickly overwhelmed by this individual before him, lying on the ground in an unknown state.
Although his situation was somewhat better than theirs, it seemed only a matter of time before it turned dire.
'I wonder if Kate made it back to the manor to tell the sister; perhaps this time it's really...'
Having faced death more than once, Damsdin leaned against the wall, his gaze becoming faintly serene. In a daze, he found himself back at Green Castle, where a girl in a white dress suddenly appeared before him, blocking a sword with her formidable stance.
That delicate figure rekindled the hope he had lost.
'Is this really how I'm going to die...?'
The massive shadow of a fist slowly loomed larger in his vision, the sharp red marks at its tip glaringly bright.
'Clang!'
A flash of silver suddenly shot out and struck the iron gauntlet of the Sea People, producing a crisp sound that echoed, and faint sparks could be seen flying.
A series of metallic clashing sounds erupted, and the Cross Sword instantly sparked countless sparks against the Sea People.
Feeling the attacks on his body, the Sea People frowned slightly, and his empty hands suddenly opened wide, surprisingly catching Freya's movements with a cunning grab.
'Swish!'
A slight tearing sound followed as the spikes on the gauntlet pursued Freya, causing her to be forced back several meters, her arm holding the Cross Sword trembling slightly. A hint of astonishment appeared in her calm gaze.
'He actually remained unscathed under his own offensive, and that kind of defense... Knight Level peak!'
"Is this the helper you found?"
The Sea People, easily pushing Freya back, looked provocatively at Damsdin lying on the ground, his sharp teeth slightly bared.
"Although he's a bit stronger than you, it seems like it's still not enough!"
