Rayn's steps came to a halt when she heard the heavy sound of a cloaked figure standing not far from her. The young man clucked in annoyance and continued walking, step by step towards Ivew who was trying to straighten his body. Rayn's orchid bead looked towards the black-robed figure standing with his other comrade.
Goddamnit! If only my sword were still here! Rayn's mind now stands in front of Ivew who is still sitting.
The girl with emerald eyes groaned and tried to look up at the black figures not far from them. One of the black-robed figures standing at the very front again took out a medium-sized black ball in front of him.
Ivew raised his hands back trembling and let out a windshield to protect the two of them. Rayn immediately helps him to stand up and becomes a backup for Ivew who is starting to lose strength.
“Finally meet ... You can hear me, right?”
The girl with emerald eyes was slightly jolted as she heard the soft sound of the flowing wind move her jet-black hair on her back. Ivew stared at the light blue wind that appeared larger in his palm.
The girl dangled a smile and shot out her wind to push away the black-robed figure in front of them. One of the black-robed figures that was about to cast a black tendril towards the two was thrown backwards along with several of his comrades.
Rayn flinched and glanced at Ivew who was still smiling. The young man with orchid eyes was trying to find a weapon he could use to help Ivew, while Ivew kept repelling the cloaked figures
black it with his wind shot.
“Young Master, do you know which area we are currently in?” Ivew asked without looking at Rayn as her hands continued to attempt to set her wind shot.
Rayn turned her head and replied quickly, “I think we are in the Angena region more precisely in the rock mountains bordering the Flowerlax.” area
Ivew nodded and glanced at the rocks located on top of the mountain. The girl began to take into account the distance of her wind strength with the sturdy rocks on the mountain. Rayn who saw the figures in front of her was thrown backwards as Ivew's strength glanced towards the lush trees behind them.
The young man with orchid eyes came back holding Ivew and ran carrying the girl's body away. The carried Ivew gasped slightly, but immediately concentrated on bringing out even greater wind power.
“Your Young Master is not afraid of heights, right?” Ivew asked quietly as they had gone down the tree-filled mountain slope.
Rayn glanced at Ivew and shook her head, the young man trying to focus down the slope and avoid slipping for carrying Ivew in his carrier. Ivew nodded and smiled.
“Air vortex flowing all over the world, help us face unexpected difficulties. Lend me your melody to help us move. Albaloind!”
Rayn who heard that gasped as their bodies suddenly flew and were surrounded by a light blue colored wind that moved covering their bodies. Rayn's orchid beads stared at the scenery of the trees below and glanced at the black figures behind them who were overwhelmed by the wind.
Ivew grinned and began to move his wind to form a whirlwind and shut up the black figures who were trying to pull out their black tendrils and ended up stabbing his partner.
The two got further and further out of reach of the black figure and Ivew heaved a sigh of relief as his emerald bead caught the Angena mansion in the distance as well as the houses of the residents.
Rayn glanced back as an uneasy feeling overwhelmed her heart, the young man with orchid eyes stared in all directions as he sensed someone watching the two.
Rayn breathed a sigh of relief as she reached the last point she explored before being caught by the black figures. The young man with orchid eyes asked Ivew to lower them when Rayn's bead caught a horse wandering around without direction as well as a familiar sword with it. The young man's hand immediately grabbed the horse's rope and stared at the sword left on the horse's body.
“This is your horse, Young Master?” ivew asked as he saw Rayn in front of him smiling and nodding.
“How can a horse survive this long in the open like this?”
Ivew asked again to look at Rayn as the young man lowered him down and tried to gently stroke the horse. Ivew again felt the wind flowing around him, moving his back jet-black hair.
“They will be here soon!”
Ivew frowned when he heard the soft sound of wind running through his ears. Wh who? Who's coming? The enemy? Ivew glanced to and fro when he found an empty field in front of them. The emerald bead of the girl glanced back at the slope of the mountain range filled with trees and rock mountains on it.
“Did someone never venture this mountain, Young Master?”
Ivew asked and looked at Rayn who was still busy approaching with her horse. The young man with orchid eyes turned to look at Ivew and took a glance at the slopes of the mountain and the stone mountain above him.
“Only knights of the Angena family are allowed to explore in this area given the danger of rock landslides from the mountain that could happen at any time,” explained Rayn standing beside Ivew.
Ivew stared at the surrounding that felt lonely. The girl with emerald eyes frowned as she felt a strange feeling and watched her surroundings with watchful eyes while waiting for a reply from Rayn.
“What's up? Do you feel you are being watched too?”
Rayn whispered softly towards Ivew and hinted the girl to ride her horse. Ivew immediately climbed on Rayn's horse followed by the young man who rode after him. The brown horse was again driven by Rayn as fast as he could to the Angena residence. Ivew glanced at the quiet surrounding atmosphere and increasingly felt awkward.
“No one is looking for us around this area?”
Ivew again asked breaking the silence between the two. The young man with orchid eyes just cleared his throat slowly and was about to answer Ivew's question. However, a second later his orchid bead eyes widened staring at a black sphere that shot towards the ground in front of them. It caused an explosion and made a big hole.
Panicking, Rayn tries to avoid a hole two meters away from her, but due to the horse being too fast, Rayn fails to avoid the hole in front of her and ends up being thrown off the horse. The young man's hand quickly grabbed his sword just in case and the other hand tried to grab Ivew.
Both of them groaned as they felt the pain attacking their bodies. The sound of the horse's shrill caught their attention staring at the horse that suddenly exploded in the hole in front of them.
Ivew's emerald bead gazed towards the black figure with crescent moon eyes not far in front of him, stepping closer to the two with one hand pulled out a small black ball while answering a question Ivew had asked.
“That's because we hid this area with limiting magic.”
