Aker walked deep into the forest along the fluorescent markings made on the trunk to prevent getting lost. This was the way he and Loulou discussed after getting lost a few days ago.
"If Loulou were not there, what would I be like..."
Aker couldn't imagine it...
He shook his head, put aside the unnecessary assumptions, and continued to pay attention to the surrounding movement.
There was a faint sound of running water in the distance, and he had already come to the side of the creek that he passed yesterday.
This creek seemed to stretch far away, and it had a width that would stop most beasts from crossing. It was no problem to use this as a natural line of defense.
"I wish I could meet someone familiar with this place at this time..."
Of course, this was just an extravagant hope, even the person who said this also knew about this.
Because at this moment, he did not find any traces of human life in this quiet forest.
…………
It was at this moment that Loulou, who followed Aker, rushed out of the bush where she was hiding.
Aker sensed the movement behind him, and was pushed over to the ground by the petite body before he could turn his head.
At the same time, a black figure flashed past by where he had just stood.
"Loulou, you..."
"Elder Brother, be careful!"
Loulou showed a sense of anxiety that was rarely seen.
After she reminded Aker with such a nervous voice that Aker focused his attention on the black figure.
Judging from the opponent's size, it should be a human that Aker "thought about day and night" in the lost forest.
However, the body covered by the dark robe revealed a strong sense of unnatural feeling. The man's arm draped casually on both sides of his body, and his hands were hidden in the long sleeves.
Ignoring the fact that Aker tried to understand what was going on, his eyes under the dark hood fixed on Aker tightly, and the figure disappeared again.
Loulou was still lying on top of Aker, feeling at a loss for what to do next. Aker reacted and grabbed Loulou's shoulders. When he pushed her away, something held by the man swept past Aker's eyes.
This time, Aker saw it clearly. There was a dagger hidden in the man's hands, and the cold light flashing on the blade proved its sharpness.
"Wait! We mean no harm!"
While avoiding the two daggers that kept thrusting at him, Aker tried to establish a conversation with the person whose identity and purpose was unknown. However, it would be great if this could really stop this inexplicable attack.
Aker, who was always trying to use communication to solve the problem, suddenly stepped on the uneven muddy ground when he tried to get up to dodge the attack. The cold light flashed across his cheek, who lost balance, then a tingling and warm moist feeling appeared and slowly ran down his face.
The opponent's physical ability was obviously above Aker, but the physique looked much smaller than Aker's. From the movement of wielding daggers, it seemed like the person had not been specially trained. However, it was still getting harder and harder for him to capture the trajectory of the two daggers.
Now, using communication to solve problems seemed to be no longer feasible. If he did not subdue that person as soon as possible, Aker was not confident that he could always escape the deadly attack by the knife.
"Pupils of Blazing Flames——"
Aker's silver-white wrist bracer on his right wrist responded to his call, and two silver-white pistols appeared from a magic circle that looked like a certain emblem. The graceful silver-white pistols' bodies were dotted with petal-like faint lines, and the pistols' bodies did not appear to be heavy, but it brought a sense of unbalanced lightness to Aker.
Aker raised the silver-white pistols and pulled the triggers without aiming. Because he did not suppress the magic output as usual, but used the burst mode of unconstrained magic. In this case, he could only choose the simplest and the most violent method.
Before Aker pulled the triggers, the man noticed the rapidly expanding magic power in the two pistols. He quickly pulled the daggers back and moved away from Aker. This was a weapon given by Aker's parents before he left home. It was the kind of weapon that could clearly determine who had the upper hand of the fight between the person who was holding the pistols and the person who was facing the pistols.
The dazzling magic light erupted from the muzzle of the two pistols, and the magic power bloomed with silver-white brilliance at close distance. The squally rising wind swept around, and the gravel and soil were all kicked up from the ground by the raging storm.
Because Loulou was far from the center of the battle, she was not affected by the magic burst. Her sight was obscured by the dust storm. It was impossible for her to know the situation in the battle center.
Although she wanted to see Aker's unscathed figure immediately, she did not rush into the fighting circle.
Because she couldn't assist her elder brother in the battle, so she could only obediently be the younger sister who needed to be protected by her elder brother.
Therefore, she could only hide this unwillingness in her heart. At least, she should not become a burden for her elder brother in the battle.
