Chapter 107 You withdrew a Xia En

"Who are you talking about?"

Xia En's suddenly raised voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Kraft was about to continue explaining when he heard a rapid rustling sound coming from the nearby bushes.

His sense of crisis as a [monk] was instantly activated.

It was too late to explain to Xia En!

"alert!"

As soon as he finished speaking those two words, he stood in the direction from which the voice came without hesitation, shielding everyone behind him.

Just as he reacted, a huge black shadow leaped out from the forest ahead and charged straight at them!

roar-

The shadowy figure roared as it attacked.

Accompanying this roar was a strong gust of wind.

Frilian and Philon reacted quickly, joining forces to erect a [Defense Magic], but the gale was too strong and crashed into the magic shield, causing the two of them to take a step back.

Kraft did not hide behind the barrier. He took a step forward, clenched his fists at his waist, and exuded a powerful aura as he thrust out a palm strike.

boom-

His palm collided with the lunging black shadow, and the resulting momentum, combined with the incoming gale, forced the two mages back several meters.

Fortunately, the attack by the shadowy figure was successfully stopped.

Only then did everyone realize that the dark figure was a [Lion Boar].

This is a large, ferocious beast commonly found in the Northern Kingdoms. It resembles a wild boar but is much larger and has the mane of a lion.

Because it is so ferocious, its combat power almost surpasses that of ordinary magical beasts, making it extremely dangerous.

Shaen found it strange that such a wild beast, which lived within the territory of the Northern Kingdoms, would cross the Sver Mountains and come all the way south? And there was only one of them?

Of course, now is not the time to think about these issues.

At this moment, the Lion Boar's head was on Kraft's palm, pushing him and leaving a deep trench in the ground.

Kraft planted his feet firmly on the ground, gathering all his strength to resist the attack, and forcefully stopped the opponent's offensive.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shane drew his longsword and launched an attack the instant the Lion Boar was blocked.

【Dual Blade Style: Shadow Kill】instantly closed the distance between him and his target.

Seeing his actions, Shutark immediately cooperated. The boy swung his battle axe horizontally, bringing with it a fierce aura, and swept it towards the lion-boar's front hoof.

roar-

The lion-boar, its front hooves attacked, let out a scream and immediately knelt down.

Xia En was already waiting beside its neck, ready to thrust his longsword in and deliver a smooth combo of [control] attacks.

But then, at that very moment...

Frilian cast her [Binding Magic], and golden magical chains shot up onto Shane's arm in an instant, swish swish swish—the chains bound Shane tightly from his arm to his whole body.

"???"

Xia En was completely bewildered.

So, Frilian pulled on the chains and dragged Shane away from the [Lion Boar].

Xia En was stunned.

Old man, what's going on with your magic? Was it intentional or accidental?

Philon, who was standing nearby, kindly answered his question.

"Mr. Shane, you mustn't intervene."

"The meat of the Lion Pig is delicious. This one is so big, it's enough to feed us for half a year, which can make up for the loss caused by the fish."

"If you were to intervene—"

Xia En instantly understood what the two meant: the "Suspicious Poison" tag on the longsword meant it wasn't suitable for hunting.

"You don't have to just tie me up and bring me back. You could have just called me."

"You're too fast."

With that, Frilian withdrew her magic and untied Shane.

Shane cracked his knuckles and sternly warned Frillie, "You can't say men are fast!"

Philon:

'

Frilian: "?"

While the three were chatting, the battle ahead quickly ended. Even without Shane's intervention, Kraft and Shutark easily defeated the [Lion Boar].

Xia En looked at the two bumps, one round and one flat, on the lion-pig's forehead and clicked his tongue in amazement.

With this unexpected gain, everyone was in a good mood for the rest of the journey.

Of course, apart from Shutark.

"you----"

"real----"

"Excuse me—"

"Leave me alone—"

Shutark, hunched over and trembling, struggled to move forward, with a lion-boar the size of half a wooden house on his back.

Xia En kindly encouraged him.

"Hold on, Shutark, this is a rare opportunity to train."

Kraft also patiently explained, "That's right, weight training is crucial in a warrior's training system. It can strengthen all the muscles in your body and enhance your explosive power in actual combat."

"Then I should thank you all—"

Xia En nodded.

What a good child, knowing how to be grateful.

To cheer on Shutark, Philon and Florian were also busy, reciting the menu to him: [Roasted Pork Ribs], [Pork Chop with Sauce], [Braised Pork Belly] —

Shutark became more and more engrossed in listening.

The last in the line.

Shane and Kraft brought up their previous topic again.

"You just said that the sage you met was named Charles?"

"That should be his name. I saw him in the imperial capital when I was traveling in the northern countries."

"Did you talk about anything?"

"What did we talk about?" Kraft fell into deep thought.

Xia En nervously swallowed.

"I wasn't a monk back then. I was injured in a battle with a monster and was looking for a special antidote. That's when I met him. He kindly made a potion for me. I think—we didn't talk about anything special."

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

"I remember. He looked—he looked—" Kraft said, his speech suddenly slowing down, and his eyes becoming blank.

Xia En anxiously pressed, "What does he look like?!"

Kraft suddenly jolted, and asked in confusion, "What?"

"Ciel, what does he look like?"

"Who is Ciel?"

Click.

Xia En stepped on a dead branch and broke it.

A profound sense of absurdity washed over him. He stared at Kraft in disbelief, and after a moment, slowly asked, "Do you—know a sage named Charles?"

Kraft shook his head. "I don't know him."

Xia En smiled.

I laughed in exasperation.

Just like the executioner Dorat who tortured Aura back then, someone has also set up a similar curse effect on the information about Sharl.

Dorat turned into a pool of blood because he wanted to utter the name "Glaosam".

This time, Kraft had his memories associated with Ciel erased because he wanted to describe Ciel's appearance.

The methods used to hide information are exactly the same.

The only difference is that demons are more bloodthirsty, while humans are more gentle.
