Seeing Benedict's action, Ronan shook his head and looked at the young men beside him.

"Boys" as Ronan said the two young men started to walk towards Benedict and Arya, Benedict was doing his best to not show his fear on his face while Arya rummaged through the dirt beneath her and grabbed a wooden stick to defend herself.

The two young men laughed mockingly when they saw Arya taking a stick to defend herself while Benedict had nothing but an empty fist.

"Mr.Benedict if you cooperate with us like a good dog we may let you take a turn with Ms.Arya before we kill you" Away from the two young men Ronan said with the devilish grin on his face.

From the moment he laid eyes on Arya, he was fallen for her but not in the good old love because of that he agreed to this mission without any questions and for a minimum amount of payment. He always planned to play along with them to complete the mission and get paid and get laid but he never thought they would actually face death in this horrible place.

His team ventured into the outer land's forests many times thus he led Arya and Benedict through safer ways avoiding the magical beasts but this is the first time they had ventured this deep into the forest and they paid for it.

"I will kill you" Benedict's eyes were red in anger as he leaped towards Ronan ignoring the two young men, however at that moment he felt extreme pain in his stomach and fell down.

"Teacher!" Arya screamed when her teacher got punched in the guts but it didn't stop at that as one of the two men kicked Benedict's face with a force, Benedict's mouth sprayed blood because of the kick as well as it caused his face to swollen, he started to feel the dizziness and overwhelming pain as the man kicked him again and again while Arya screaming and shouting at him.

"Get it over with Hela already lost so much blood" the woman in the group urged Ronan and the young men.

"Can't she heal herself she's a healer after all" Ronan retorted at the woman as the woman picked a little stone and threw at him.

"She would have if she didn't use all her magic power to heal you idiots" the woman said in anger and irritation while holding her friend in her arms.

"Alright alright jeez Rina, men kill Mr.Benedict and capture my little flower, Ms. Arya"

The two men and also the bald old man had a weird evil grin on their face when they heard Ronan.

However at that moment, a sudden rustle noise came around them like something was running around in the dark forest.

The group startled by the sudden change in their surroundings as they looked around with fear and bewilderment on their face.

"Old man you said there are no magical beasts around the area anymore"

Ronan was angry but he didn't shout as he whispered to the old man with gritted teeth.

The two young men stopped beating Benedict and took out their swords and scanned their environment. Arya didn't mind what's happening around her as she rushed forward and knelt beside Benedict and wiped the blood on his face with her clothes.

The rustling sound became closer and closer towards the group but they could also see some shadow figures running very fast in the dark forest before them.

"Who's there? show...show yourselves" Ronan swallowed his saliva in nervousness and fear, only he didn't get any answers but a whoosh sound.

After a second, a thud sound like something heavy fallen to the ground followed the 'whoosh' sound,

"Ahhhhhhhh!" Arya's scream in fear reverberated the forest as Ronan and his group immediately turned to look at her to see the blood-covered face of her and beside her on the ground was the body of the young man with a nearly destroyed skull, his body was still slightly twitching and blood flowing to the ground.

"Mi..." other young man just realized that his buddy was dead and lying on the ground and called out his name in instinct but before he fully said his name another 'whoosh' came followed by the same thud sound.

Ronan quickly reacted when the second 'whoosh' and saw an arrow piercing Jackey's head and destroys it, seeing this Ronan's fighter instincts kicked in and he turned to look up at the trees to locate the source of the arrow.

After carefully looking at the trees he found a small human-shaped figure but it disappeared by leaping to another tree in the thick forest.

"s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t s.h.i.+t we are going to die in this G.o.dforsaken place" the old man started to tremble and shake in fear.

"Do something" the woman holding the bleeding healer, Rina trembled.

"There's nothing to do except dying" a feminine voice answered her question.

Ronan and his remaining teammates looked at the direction the voice coming to see a woman in a white dress slowly walked towards them from the dark forest, Ronan couldn't clearly see the face of the woman but he could vaguely see her slightly pointy ears and a silver sword in her hands.

Arya was now sitting on the ground near the woman that came out of the forest, she could see the woman gazing at her and her teacher and turned to look at Ronan.

Seeing the woman alone made Ronan a little relaxed but before he breathed a sigh another figure came forward and stood beside the woman, the person was holding a bow and aiming at the old man.

Rina was a long distant combat mage so she tried to cast a spell using the darkness as a cover however a pointy metal touched her back of the head making her stop casting the spell.

"Who are you woman? What do you want?" Ronan didn't show his fear or anger in his voice because he knew the odds were stacked against him also he didn't want to use his life-saving item yet.

"Let us go and we'll forget everything that happened" Ronan said.

"What do I want? Not much just your life" the woman started to move towards him while her sword let out bright light, just as Ronan took out his spear from his back to fight.

Everyone stood still except the woman and Ronan who were fighting with all their might but the others could see the woman getting the upper hand of the battle, they had never seen such sword skills from anyone.

"Ah!" the woman made a deep cut on Ronan's shoulder, she was breaking his defense and cutting him as the time went by, Ronan realized he couldn't win the battle as he received another kick to his gut from the woman and when he held his gut with one hand, the back of her sword hit his face and made him fall to the ground, blood was flowing through his wounds and nose.

"Ronan" Rina and the old man shouted when they saw Ronan fall on the ground however after a second a weird smile appeared on Ronan's face and he decided to use his item after all.

"Good very good, you are the one who made me use this b.i.t.c.h"

As he said he took something out of his pockets and swallowed it, the woman stepped towards him to attack but a force field around Ronan stopped her from attacking.

"He...he's breaking through" Arya mumbled when she saw the light around Ronan's body, the magical fluctuations around his body were rocketing as Ronan let out a laugh like a mad man.

"Hahaha, the effects of the crimson pill are truly magnificent although it only lasts for thirty minutes it's more than enough time to deal with you all! b.i.t.c.h, you are very lucky to die on the hands of the great master"

"Haha, Ronan I knew you had something" the old man laughed seeing Ronan moving towards the woman to attack.

Ronan didn't mind the old man as he started to slash and stab at the woman using his spear, the woman dodged and evaded most of his attacks but he could see the woman getting exhausted and tired as his attacks started to land on her.

"Oh, I'm going to enjoy killing you" Ronan devilishly smiled and started to attack her aggressively.

The woman tried her best to dodge his attacks but finally, Ronan landed a big hit on her that made her body flew away a few feet and land beside Arya.

Arya wanted to help the woman but suddenly the detector started to flicker

as well as made the weird sound again. Seeing this Ronan halted his movements and stared at the device.

At that moment a thunderous roar came from above him.

Despite his injuries, Benedict looked at the device with excitement and teary eyes then looked at the direction of where the device pointed towards however he didn't need to look further as a majestic winged lion descended on the ground between the woman in white and Ronan.

"It's...It's the energy it's coming from it" Arya stuttered seeing the winged Lion.

"You dumb idiot" only a three simple words came from Lion's mouth yet that made everyone around it tremble in fear because only a grandmaster beast can actually talk like a human, Ronan's initial evil sile faded away as he began to s.h.i.+ver before the Lion who was now slowly stepping towards him as the lion's body got bigger and bigger and matched Ronan's height.

Seeing the terrifying winged Lion, Ronan's heart started to beat faster and his body became stiff due to the overwhelming fear.

"You don't give all the details about an item you use in the battle to your opponent, idiot "

"Wha" but before Ronan could reply to the Lion, others around him saw the lion's front paw slapping Ronan's face and make his head rotate for a moment.

And finally, his head stopped rotating after a moment as his lifeless body hit the ground.
