Chapter 215: Guardian Rossbert

“Bro, isn’t this Miss Sol’s carriage?” Eina asked him. She remembered. Right, it was the same carriage they rode on when they went to the banquet.

Eman looked at her and nodded.

“Yes, I contacted her before we departed. She told me to wait as she was about to lend us her carriage but it would arrive late, so I and Aunt Claire decided to pay for another carriage. I never thought she would still send the carriage. Fufu, it’s a big help, regardless. We don’t need to walk far to get a carriage.”

Though, it was a lie.

This carriage was in his domain the whole time. Also, it wasn’t the same carriage they used to travel to the banquet. It’s just the same with that one. Sol was currently using that one as her service whenever she went to the academy. As a noble, she needs a personal fancy carriage of her own.

But Eman could not explain it to her sister. Moreover, it wasn’t very important.

He noticed her sister tilted her head to the side with her finger on her mouth, seemingly thinking.

.....

“I see,” she muttered a second later. “Miss Sol is so kind!” Eina raised her both hands in the air as she shouted.

Eman smiled and tapped her head. “Right, right...”

“And she’s beautiful too. I think the two of you will look good together, bro. But, she’s from a noble...”

“.....”

He wondered if she was teasing him. But she said the last line in a descending volume. It looked like she understood the difference in their social status.

“Regardless, we need to depart now, so that we can return as soon as possible.”

He said and helped her sister climb the carriage.

The coachman was of course one of his trained people. He made eye contact with the coachman and nodded.

The coachman understood what he meant. Then he lifted the rope and started whipping the horse.

A fancy carriage was traveling towards the main city the whole day. When night came, they had to find a safe area to take a detour.

But Eina did not even notice that the place where they took their detour was actually inside the Lord’s Domain.

Right, without her noticing, Eman let the entire carriage enter his domain. He would rather rest inside his domain than stayed a night in the open.

No one of his people came to approach them even though they noticed them. They already knew what was happening.

Before the sun rose, they continued their trip. Every second was precious. They could not waste it. The main city was still far.

On the second day of their trip, they encountered an unexpected encounter.

“My lord, there’s a commotion in front of us,” said the coachman. Upon hearing it, Eman peeked outside and looked to the front.

Grr!

“Tsk, protect the lady!”

“B-but, we will all die!”

“Shut up!”

“Gee..!”

He saw the commotion. A carriage was surrounded by several hungry-looking creatures. About four uniformed people that were wearing light armors were currently trying to fend off the creatures that looked like wolves. Their eyes were all red and saliva was gushing out from their mouths. In which razor-sharp teeth were peeking from it.

However, unlike the normal wolves on earth, these creatures had red-colored crystals on their forehead.

He gestured to stop the carriage.

Aside from those four, he also noticed two people with their butts on the ground while leaning on the carriage, breathing heavily while having pale faces and frowning. There was blood on some parts of their body. It looked like they were injured already.

Eman believed that they were guards. In his mind, whoever was in the carriage, must be an important person. Perhaps a noble. It was easy to tell as they were riding a fancy carriage and surrounded by uniformed men.

Inside the carriage, a beautiful woman in her 20’s along with another woman who was wearing a maid outfit snuggled closely at each other.

“Heh, this is such a nice day for them to show.” In front of them, a man clicked his tongue.

He was wearing heavy-looking armor. A full set of iron armor from head to toe.

“Don’t worry, just relax. I will handle them,” said the man confidently.

“T-thank you, Mr. Rossbert.”

“Fufu, I am the fierce Rossbert after all. These pups... I’ll beat them into a pulp. Haha!” He laughed as he climbed down the courage.

“Don’t worry, Miss Zennie. Mr. Rossbert is a veteran member of the Guardian Guild. His rank in the guild is Gold rank and also in the Gold stage of power advancement,” said the woman in a maid outfit.

The beautiful woman, named Zennie, forced a nod. And tried her best to calm herself. However, being surrounded by these fierce-looking beasts could not get rid of her unease. Especially that it was her first time traveling this far. If not because of an important reason, she would rather stay in their town.

While Zennie was trying to console her feelings, they heard a loud war cry from the outside.

“Oryaaa!”

Based on the voice, it came from Mr. Rossbert.

After his yell, it was followed by a dull sound of impact. Probably something solid hitting a meaty target. Then they heard a groan after that.

Arrrr!

It was a groan coming from one of the monsters.

Outside the carriage, Rossbert brandished his weapon to one of the beasts. His weapon looked like a bat surrounded by spikes. This weapon was commonly called mace. The only difference with it to the bat, it has spiky circle as it’s head.

It instantly took down the beast after its head was whacked by it.

“Mr. Rossbert!” Shouted one of the guards.

The other beasts angrily rushed towards Mr. Rossbert. They were baring their fangs while creasing their faces.

Rawr!

Rawr!

Two beasts leaped nearly at the same time.

Rossbert smashed the beast who arrived at him first. The poor beast had its head whacked by the mace. After the impact, the beast crashed to the ground and spurted blood. Then it wriggled for a couple of seconds before it stopped moving.

Rossbert used the shield on his other hand to protect himself from the other beast and at the same time bump it.

“As expected, Mr. Rossbert is on another level. He can easily defeat these fierce beasts!” One of the guards shouted.

“Well. He is one of the higher rank guardians in the guild.” The leader of the guards said.

Although he succeeded, more and more beasts came to surround him. A bead of sweat appeared at the back of Rossbert’s head.

The other beasts that were facing the guards and surrounding the carriage were now rushing to attack him.

It seemed like they understood that Rossbert was dangerous. And now they were hoarding on him. Rossbert used the abilities he learned through experience in his profession as one of the members of the Guardian Guild.

“Vengeance Shield!” He shouted.

It was a kind of ability in which magical energy materialized around him, forming like a towering cylinder in yellowish color.

Any enemies who contacted it would receive a shocking recoil. About 10 beasts were unlucky enough to receive the recoil. The beasts had their bodies hit by an invisible force. They were thrown several meters away then crashed on the nearby boulders. The others rolled on the ground.

However, the effect of Vengeance Shield didn’t last long. It had a limit. And so, after a couple of seconds, it dissipated.

Rossbert clicked his tongue. He could not redundantly use the skill as it needed preparation to use it again.

Of all the skills he learned, only the Vengeance Shield was appropriate for this kind of situation he was in.

Roosbert looked around him with a grim expression.

The other guards had no idea of Rossbert’s predicament. Also, they were so scared to help.

Most of them were only at the early stage of silver. They were useless against this type of beast. And also, although they were at the silver stage, they were not experienced enough to fight these kinds of enemies.

About 20 beasts were currently surrounding Rossbert. It would be much better if it was only that, however, he noticed a much fiercer one among the crowd.

An ascended one appeared.

“Dammit. Demonic Beast!” Rossbert groaned inwardly when seeing it.

He could probably put up a fight against it if not because of these small ones.

“This is bad, My Lady. Mr. Rossbert is in trouble!” The maid said in a frightened voice.

Fwoosh!

Just then, at the corner of his eyes, something flashed. It was a streak of red light. The next second, one of the beasts had his scalp burst out open.
