"Haha, if these guards were the only ones I had to rely on, then I would definitely be afraid and run for my life. But," the round-bellied man paused, his grin so wide it was almost disgusting to see,
"Fate didn’t want to see me die, so I already have two saviors who protected me."
He bowed his head and called out gently:
"Esteemed Dragon Slayers, please help me."
Silence!
The cold wind rustled through the air, a complete stillness encasing the area, with light illuminating the surroundings.
There was nothing but stillness.
An awkward silence filled the place.
The round-bellied man rubbed the back of his head again, wearing a speechless expression, then called out once more:
"Esteemed Dragon Slayer, please come out."
Still, there was silence and nothing else.
In the blink of an eye, two shadows moved, slitting the throat of one soldier, only to immediately notice a metal that nearly blocked the strike.
"So that’s what happened, huh? In the darkness, even we didn’t notice," one of them muttered, striking again, this time targeting the arms and legs of the guard, completely decapitating him before he could react.
The two moved in perfect sync, obliterating the guards before they even had a chance to resist.
The round-bellied man was stunned, trembling beneath his boots as he hurriedly called out with desperation:
"Please, Esteemed Dragon Slayers, I will give you everything I know. Please, help me."
Unfortunately, his plea was met with complete stillness and silence.
He gritted his teeth.
His spine trembled uncontrollably.
’The benefit is not enough,’ his mind swirled rapidly with thought as death seemed inches away. There was a flicker of hesitation in his heart, but in the end, with gritted teeth, he shouted loudly:
"I will give you a Telekinetic Serum!"
He quickly closed his eyes, bracing for death as his life flashed before him.
However...
The attacks that should have ended him never came.
’Did it work?’ He wondered strangely, and slowly opened his eyes to see the back of a cloaked figure standing before him, taking the blows of the twin blades.
Then Drayken slowly turned toward the man, completely disregarding the two assassins, and spoke in a deep tone:
"What did you say?"
"Telekinetic Serum," the round-bellied man replied while trembling.
"How do you know about that?"
Drayken crouched down, gripping the man’s collar and looking him straight in the eyes.
"Huh, do you even know what it is?" the round-bellied man asked, utterly confused.
Before Drayken could answer, two daggers sliced toward his strong legs, only to shatter on impact, leaving not a single scratch on his skin.
Drayken’s brows twitched as he turned toward them, tilting his head:
"I’m talking. Do you mind?"
The two faces immediately paled. One of them spoke in disbelief:
