The Cold-Blooded Sword Expert
It's a trap

“Eh?”

Iris frowned. As an experienced adventurer in this city, it was clear he also knew where the route to the duke's territory was. The state where the duke's place is to the south, but it seems like this horse carriage is continuously out towards the eastern region.

More precisely, they were currently in a safe area. The safe area itself is usually an area that is on the border between the city to the city, or maybe the territory of the kingdom and kingdom. Without knowing who the landlord and owner of the territory is safe, because the rules of the safe area are so that the land should not be in possession of it.

Returning to Iris, she knew that this horse carriage was coming out through the gate of the eastern region of Little Pear city. It obviously made Iris confused because if he went west continuously, then he would go to the city of Floppa. Yeah, it seems so.

“Wait, since I was really very suspicious. Isn't this the eastern region of Little Pear town? Supposed to head for Duke's castle is to the South.” Iris protested to the chariot driver sitting in front.

Leo and Melina who heard that, she frowned. They actually did not understand at all about the road like this. But after hearing the words of Iris, they became alarmed. Moreover, Leo's feelings were really not that comfortable.

“I'm sorry, miss, but the southern route to Duke's territory is under repair. So, we took the East route. Forgive me if the trip is even further.” Answer the horse-drawn carriage.

“Sialan.” Leo sighed. If only his Lord of the Eye ability could be used to see if one's plans or whether others were honest or not, he would definitely be so calm. He perfectly understood that this ability could only see the dark past of a person that irritated him himself.

“Master, on the side is a forest rim. Can we take a short break before entering Floppa city?” Asked the owner of the horse carriage with some hesitation.

“Of course.” Leo.

The horse-drawn carriage finally turned towards a forest beside them to rest. Because basically, resting in the middle of the road is very unethical. On the other hand, their right position is a high cliff that is impossible to pass because it is so steep.

Clearly, they had directly descended from the horse carriage to rest. The sun has also started to sink, the possibility to continue the journey is tomorrow because they have to spend the night in this place. Some people start making a fireplace, there is also one of them who began to go into the forest even deeper to look for animals.

Leo started to sit down and sighed. He held onto a purple-colored stone that was a teleportation stone and stared at it continuously. He was just pensive, a little worried about his subordinates because at this moment somehow his feelings were really very bad.

Leo knew that Hime was from the city of Floppa, so he allowed Hime to go to the southern viscount region as well as the Floppa region because surely he was eager to meet his master.

Wait, if the current Leo has just come out of the eastern region and is about to enter the city of Floppa, is Leo currently still in one region with Hime? Obviously Yes! Only, his position was very different. Leo is at the southern eastern gate, while Hime is in the northern eastern part. Their existence is still very far away.

Right then, one of the guards guarding Leo, he shouted very loudly. Even his position was also within the forest as he was about to search for hunting goods.

It was obvious, that Leo, Melina and Iris were shocked to hear it. Leo instantly stored the teleportation stone and immediately stood up. Iris and Melina too.

“What happened?’ said one of Leo's guards. His face seemed to show that he was really very panicked.

“Master, miss, we should see it.” Say one of them.

“Already, we'd better see it.”

Iris nodded, then she and Melina followed where their master Leo went with a sense of anxiety. Only, Leo felt very strange when people or all of his guards followed him into the forest as if they were deliberately herding.

Leo glanced back, drew a sword and moved very quickly towards them. Iris who also understood, she let out a lightning strike at them.

As for Melina, she simply did not understand what was happening exactly. Only, without a statement of protest, some of them directly against Iris and Leo together.

“I've understood, it's a trap isn't it?!” Leo asked with such a cynical gaze while creating a shadow tiger to attack them. Then, Leo also moved to the side and clashed swords at them continuously.

“Ah, you totally understand. I don't know how the original duke's horse-drawn carriage was really confused.”

Leo gnashed his teeth, then he swung his sword and also the sword shadow slash towards them. Only, after killing them, Leo's position was attacked by his own shadow tiger.

Forced to have Leo jump back, he is shocked when the shadow tiger entity attacks himself. Iris also opened her mouth after they finished them off one by one. And he remembered, that all that could do was, Guy Blackwell.

However, as Iris thought so, a root entangled her very tightly. Melina without being ordered though immediately burned the roots without harming Iris.

On the other hand, after Melina denied an attack to Iris, suddenly, a fog was all around Melina making her gaze blurry.

“Melina!” Shouted Leo, he also saw Iris who was slowly entangled by a tree root. Every Iris tried to destroy the tree roots using her lightning element, even when she tried to jump though, the roots would bind Iris wherever she was.

At that time Leo also remembered that his position was dealing with his own entity. Forced, he had to slash his sword repeatedly to kill him.

At that moment, Leo remembered that the one who could control an entity was Guy.

Sure enough, Leo had to turn around and realize something, swinging and playing his sword continuously as Guy tried to attack him using the sword he was holding.

Guy also smiled as he could see Leo once more and clashed swords like this. His silly face that makes Leo can remember the fight he had with Guy that even made Leo himself almost die was made.

“What happened? So this is your trap?!” Leo asked by continuing to play his sword.

The sound of a sword or rather the bang of a sword accompanied Leo's speech. But Guy also understood so he replied. “This was not my idea, but the idea of Raven.”
