"It seems I've arrived just in time."
"Who are you?" Reiden asked sternly, turning his head toward his companion, "Rod, is this the person you were looking for?"
The guards stationed around were no weaklings, yet someone had easily flung them aside, indicating the incomer's formidable strength.
A master!
"No," Rod shook his head, "I don't know him."
"WHOOSH!"
Ignoring the others' hesitation and surprise, Carl swiftly dashed towards the secret room.
"Stop him!"
"Halt!"
Teresa, the captain of the Dragon King Chamber of Commerce's guard, along with Rod and Reiden, acted simultaneously, attacking him.
"Die!"
Reiden's eyes emitted a fierce light, and his huge ax cut down from above, raising a whirlwind out of nowhere.
"CLANG..."
A shadow of a sword appeared in front of the ax blade.
When the mighty forces collided, Reiden felt as though he had struck a mountain; his arm went numb, and his throat turned sweet in an instant.
"BOOM!"
