Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!

Chapter 155: 155. A gift

But Lucius's smile only froze for a moment; after all, he wouldn't come unprepared either.

Seeing Lucius still standing there nonchalantly, not even taking up a combat stance or reaching for his weapon, the two brothers were enraged!

They looked towards each other and nodded, but just as they were about to step forward, their minds suddenly started screaming as their danger senses went berserk.

The twins wanted to react, but it was already too late.

The shadows to the side of Chris surged as a beautiful and slender figure appeared with enough bloodlust to make a veteran soldier shiver. Her dagger pierced through Chris's flimsy defense, tearing through his body and leaving a horrifying wound.

If it wasn't for the last-minute barrier that Chris had managed to deploy with the help of his magic artifact, he would have been incapacitated in one hit, if not outright killed on the spot!

Tyler, seeing the sorry state of his brother, was both terrified and outraged.

What happened to honor?

What happened to chivalry?

This was a shameless person who didn't respect martial ethics and, despite appearing bold and unfazed, had secretly set an ambush in the dark!

"Damn it, Lucius! You actually set an ambush!"

Tyler roared and turned around to Lucius, but his heart nearly stopped at the next sight. What he saw was a monster wrapped in crimson, lightning scales rushing towards him like a mad beast!

Tyler didn't dare hold back and completely activated the power of the magic artifact. Purple lightning quickly snaked around his arm as Tyler let out a loud roar and shot out his fist to meet Lucius's sword.

"Bang!"

Sparks of purple and crimson lightning clashed and tore apart at each other like two raging dragons!

As Lucius took a step back, his face couldn't help but turn a little ugly. The person he could easily overpower earlier today could now match him with the power of a magic artifact. Just fighting Tyler alone would not be an easy fight that could end quickly, and if you added in his brother who also had a magic artifact… Fortunately, he came prepared.

If the two brothers were a pair of pay-to-win players, then Lucius was an out-and-out crook. He was a cheater; he never planned on playing fair from the start!

Tyler and Lucius looked at each other with murderous intent blazing from their eyes as they exchanged a storm of powerful blows that threatened to collapse the shabby shanty houses around them. Suddenly, Lucius broke into a vicious smirk as he called towards Tyler mid-fight,

"Watch out behind you."

Suddenly, a burst of killing intent appeared behind Tyler. Tyler quickly remembered his twin's sorry state and roared out in desperation,

"Aegis!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a golden-white shield bloomed, blocking Camilla's vicious attack and sending shockwaves flying. But before he could relax, the shabby shanty house to the side burst apart as a terrifying roar shook the sky.

"Berserk!"

A raging woman with blood-red hair raised her battle axe and charged straight towards Tyler, who was blocked facing attacks from the front and the back. She now targeted his completely open side! But just as the blade was about to land, the injured Chris brought out a magic scroll and threw it towards Tyler! All of a sudden, a faint blue shield appeared around him.

Reina saw this but didn't even flinch; now that she had gotten this close, how could she let a puny shield stop her?

"Roar!"

She let out a horrifying war cry that excited the barbarian blood in her body as crimson sparks jumped off her skin. Before she brought down her giant axe, Tyler's body was sent flying, slamming into the ground and leaving a faint human-sized crater. Tyler suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and looked down towards his chest which had sunk in by a few centimeters, and his face turned pale.

Before he lost his mind, his injured brother Chris tore up another scroll, causing a faint green wind to wrap around their bodies

But before they left, they didn't forget to leave Lucius a vicious and bloody glare and rushed out of the street.

But unfortunately for the pair of twins, they didn't get to take a few steps before a figure suddenly appeared. He could only be described as a complete giant of a man. His figure was broad and burly, making him look like a bear. But what was truly intimidating was the giant shield on his back and the look of pure hatred in his eyes.

Unbuckling the shield from his back, his body burst out with gold and white light that coated his shield and rushed towards the pair of twins like an enraged bull.

"Shield Charge!"

The two brothers were already moving at breakneck speeds and now they encountered a charging giant; it was too late for them to dodge.

"Boom!"

A terrifying shockwave sounded as two figures flew back, coughing up blood in the process.

"R-Ryan, how could it be you..."

Of all the people they expected to stop them, Ryan was the last one on their minds. He had spent his entire life at their feet, groveling and begging, and now he had put them in this state!

When they looked at the giant man, looking down on them like a ruthless war god, the two brothers couldn't believe that this was the same person from before. Just as the two brothers were frozen in shock, they suddenly heard a laughing voice sound out from behind them.

"Haha! Ryan, do you like the surprise I prepared for you?"

Hearing this, the bear-like man finally broke into a smile, but to Tyler and Chris, the same smile couldn't have appeared more hideous.

"Thanks, boss," said Ryan.

"Your gift is really thoughtful."

Hearing this, Tyler's face turned pale, but he didn't give up hope yet. He turned towards Lucius, hiding the fear in his heart, and roared,

"Lucius, are you arrogant or have you gone crazy? You really dare to touch the people of the Montford family outside of school grounds; even Sanctuary can't protect you!"
