“Magic item?”
When he heard Shien’s voice, Baydr’s eyes flashed and his frown became more pronounced.
“Could it be that they still have some kind of trump card?”
Baydr’s expression became unbelievably dark. He even started to contemplate retreating.
Shien, Vivian and Diere were already three unexpected variables that completely ruined the plan that he had previously thought foolproof. Now though, now only did they fail to save Jillian, he himself even received a nearly mortal wound. If his opponents still have other cards to pay, then Baydr wouldn’t want to stay here despite his hatred and anger.
After all, he’s not lacking in time. He’ll have a chance to come back in the future when his injury was healed and make everyone here pay for today.
Especially Shien.
He definitely had something to do with Jillian’s betrayal.
Thus, it was easy to imagine the amount of hatred he bore for Shien. Not taking revenge for that is a complete impossibility.
Therefore, Baydr had already starting considering retreat.
However, what had happened next had Baydr rather dumbfounded.
“It’s finally time!”
That level 68 knight captain Balon, who wasn’t any use up until now, acted as if he found an opening or finally remembered a finishing move. He glared hatefully at the Old Demon Faction while pulling out a tattered piece of parchment.
It wasn’t just Balon either. Everyone else also hurriedly pulled out tattered pieces of parchment and set their aims at the Old Demon Faction.
“Diere!”
“Got it!”
When they say this scene, Vivian and Diere exchanged a glace. Then, one pulled back her shield, the other sheathed her blades, and both started retreating.
Those happenings made Baydr react with caution.
“Ready yourselves!”
Baydr immediately gave the order, and all the Old Demon Faction members who were about to chase after Vivian and Diere also put up their guard.
Both sides dropped into a strange situation. Both were glaring angrily at each other without a word. The air was filled with a sense of the calm before the storm.
Finally, Balon was the first to break and raise the “magic item” in his hand high up into the air.
“[I’m a pig! A pig with a dream! Come kill me if you dare! Come on!]”
A clear incantation echoed across the burning camp.
“Defend!”
The Old Demon Faction member who acted as the head of Baydr’s direct subordinates instantly reacted and yelled out. All the other members chanted defensive magic together, releasing waves of magic power that formed into barriers or walls of magic power before them.
They reacted quite quickly.
Only…
“Whoosh————!”
Where everyone thought that there would be a titanic clash of power, instead, all that happened was a gust of wind blowing past, kicking up some dust.
“Eh?”
Baydr and the rest of the Old Demon Faction were completely full of question marks.
“Cough…”
Balon’s face turned red with some embarrassment.
Nothing had happened.
Just as Baydr was feeling confused, two others walked forward from behind Balon.
Those two were Leon and Eudrice. When the Old Demon Faction attacked, they happened to have been with Vivian at the time and was thus protected by her, so they had managed to avoid being killed.
When Vivian had arrived, the two of them had also followed along and mixed in with the crowd. Only now did they finally show themselves.
“Allow me! Sir Balon!”
“That’s right! Those who dared to attack our camp! Allow Leon and I to make them pay for it!”
Leon and Eudrice gave a declaration of justice as they held up their own “magic item”.
“[If you’re a man, then do me already!]”
“[Yamete!]”
Both of them loudly shouted in a clear voice.
“Defend!”
That Old Demon Faction subordinate once again gave the order, and the other Old Demon Faction members once again chanted and activated their defensive magic to take the oncoming attack.
However, once again, nothing happened at all.
“…”
The field sank into an awkward silence.
The second after, every knight and adventurer with a “magic item” all started loudly shouting out.
