'Sruuug.... Srruug....'
Leo's men continued to walk through the thick snow.
In accordance with his orders, right after they entered the forest, Selene immediately broke away from the troops along with the other 5 soldiers. Move in hiding to monitor the location around.
Ensure that there will be no impromptu attacks or ambushes from various sides that could endanger the main forces.
As powerful as any weapon made by Leo, everything will be over if there are 500 more soldiers who surround him from various sides.
With new eyes and ears obtained from the Selene squad, Leo continued to advance towards the location of the headquarters while maintaining his vigilance.
Right after the sun started to sink. It's happening.
'Shuuuttt!!!'
An arrow shot out very quickly. It barely even makes a sound.
The direction is very accurate, which is right in the direction of Leo's head.
With almost no chance to react, the very late Leo realized he was only able to slightly tilt his head before the arrow hit him.
The results are pretty severe.
'Css....'
A few drops of blood started flowing and fell to the ground. Wet the snow white with a fairly dark red color.
Reina immediately advanced and prepared to withstand the next attack. Protecting the injured Leo.
While Luna on the other hand immediately ordered some troops on the front to be on standby.
No matter how well they searched, no one knew the location of the archer who had just fired the attack.
It's just....
"Dim, you don't...."
Reina who had just looked towards the injured Leo only realized. All because Leo is only silent with his left hand covering the side of his head.
Not one bit of screaming. Not one bit let out a sound because of the pain even though the wound he suffered was quite fatal.
"Dim! Anyone please help him and...."
But Leo just raised his right hand as if to indicate that there is no need to worry about him.
"But your wound...."
"No problem." Reply Leo while breaking some of the arrows that stuck in his left eye.
After that, Leo gave his orders again.
"Step forward, don't mind me. I wouldn't die with just this kind of wound." Leo continued while using healing magic with his left hand.
A gentle greenish glow began to envelop his left eye. Slowly stopping the wound.
Some soldiers seem to be starting to hold Leo's body slightly limp. Help him to walk.
After the bleeding stopped a little, Leo pulled out the arrow that stuck in his left eye. Where his eyeballs were also pulled. He now has only one eye.
Even so....
In Leo's mind there is only one.
'Selene.... Are you all right?'
......***......
'How weird.... It's too quiet around here.' Selene thought in her heart.
He along with five other soldiers who were at the bottom began to look at the surrounding conditions.
But there's not much to be gained. There's no information. Only a leafless forest and increasingly thick snow.
'Sruggs!'
With her ears slightly more sensitive than the human, Selene began to hear something moving.
The voice was so soft that he could barely hear it.
After improving her eyesight with her magic, Selene immediately sorted out the surrounding conditions. But unfortunately, it was too late.
'Shut!'
'Jlebb!!'
The arrow hit him on his back. After plunging deep enough, Selene gradually began to lose consciousness.
'Why.... I'm....'
The last sight he saw just before everything was filled with darkness, was the figure of two Men who walked up to him with a wide smile.
......***......
Leo had no idea how the surveillance squad was doing.
But He knows what happened to Selene thanks to their relationship.
The rune on Leo's left arm appears to have begun to dim. That beautiful bluish light seemed to be starting to lose its power.
Shortly before that, Leo had realized, that he was too underestimating the Bandit group that controlled this place.
Hence....
"Reina, if the situation worsens, I want you to go and...."
"No. I've decided to protect you this time." Reply Reina interrupted Leo's words.
"Haha.... That so?" Ask Leo back.
After thinking about it for a moment, Leo realized that this bandit group was too dangerous. Even to be left here.
And for that, he must indeed destroy it right now.
But nevertheless....
'Damn 'em.... I'm getting sleepy. Did they smear this arrow with dope or something? Then....'
Continuing to try to hold his consciousness, Leo turned his right hand to himself.
He would try once again what he had done accidentally to Selene. That is to do Enchanting to living beings.
Only, at this moment he had understood the risks. He understood his actions.
That way, he can adjust his Mana expenditure.
Until finally....
'Swuuusshhh!!!'
Strong enough wind pressure and a beautiful bluish light began to envelop Leo's body. Every now and then, it looks a bright red light.
In his mind, Leo only focused on thinking about increasing his body's resistance to dope and poison. The rating you want is level B.
As a result, right after about 1 minute that light enveloped Leo's body, his drowsiness began to fade.
Restore his body back as it was before it was exposed to the effects of the poison. However, he was unable to restore his lost left eye.
When Leo saw the information on his own body, he knew the Enchantment information he had obtained.
...[.Drug Resistance - B Rank]...
And the good news again....
'Good, it seems that Mana Selene is still left with 30% if it is only at level B.' Thought Leo in his heart who had now returned to stand tall.
One of the soldiers who had prepared bandages and other medical equipment appeared to be treating Leo's dead left eye. Cover it with a bandage and clean it with alcohol.
All of that to prevent infection in his wound.
Once everything was in order, Leo immediately gave orders to all of his troops.
"We're going to attack tonight. There's no rest before we burn down their base, and figure out the condition of our surveillance team. Understood?" Ask Leo.
"understand!" Reply to them all firmly.
That way, Leo's army moved back. But this time, with more mature preparations for a surprise attack. And also a clear goal, which is to burn down all the bandit groups.
......***......
'How could I miss?! I'm pretty sure I've been aiming right in his brain. But that guy....' Thought of a man in snow wolf fur clothes.
His left hand appears to be carrying a bow, while his right hand appears to be carrying an arrow.
Even so, he just ran, backwards.
The reason is very simple.
'That guy's.... How could he stare at me with such a strong killing intent right after receiving my shot?! This is bad, I have to inform the boss immediately.'
The archer who had just injured Leo, now actually escaped after knowing his shot missed.
Sensing that something bad was about to happen, he decided to warn their leader immediately.
Although....
It was too late now because they had ignited Leo's anger.
