She wore a bronze mask that covered her face from the chin up. She had a pair of tiger-like ears and a single horn. Evidently, she wasn't an ordinary Seymour or human.
His slender dragon spear was dragged several meters away. His simple leather armor was full of scars, and the tattoo on his arms was a pair of wings spreading out.
"A female? A beastman? No, this seems to be the effect of a supernatural ability … "
Although she had the curves of a woman under her leather armor, her beast-like golden eyes and boiling fighting spirit made it easy for anyone to overlook her.
At the very least, Rorschach didn't dare to look away from her beast-like eyes.
"Let go of Mu Na, and I, as the guardian of Mount Sainte, will let you leave this place alive."
The prideful guardian crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked down at Rorschach from above. However, she didn't move at all, as if she was looking down on this intruder who had kidnapped a saintess.
However, Rorschach could sense that if he let go of the hostage in his hands — no, even if he let go of her just a little bit — she would probably immediately attack him.
"How did I catch up to her? I should have thrown away everything on her that could possibly be tracked. I should have … Oh, damn it, I was so stupid."
After discovering the so-called "Stone of Fate", Rorschach had indeed thrown away everything on Mu Na's body. However, at this moment, the decorative ring on Mu Na's broken horn was emitting a familiar glow, just like the earring on Salia's right ear.
It seemed that this wasn't some strange custom. The broken horn was actually Salia's pair of Stone of Fate earrings.
"Do I have a chance of winning?"
[She's at least a Legend. She might be stronger by a few levels. You might be able to escape by yourself, but don't even think about it if you bring someone with you.]
The Gods gave Rorschach a hint in his vision.
The combat specialists were having an emergency meeting, estimating the opponent's abilities and job class in order to come up with the most suitable battle plan.
However, judging from the opponent's terrifying magic that suppressed the entire battlefield, Rorschach's chances of winning were quite low.
[The left side of the gloves contains the ice element, while the right side contains the lightning element. The elemental fluctuations are very strong, but they don't conflict with each other. They should be able to be used together. It should be a very powerful melee weapon. It might be a melee job class similar to Monks. He should be a Magic Warrior.]
[The longaxe beneath my feet has already been embedded into the ground. I estimate that its density and hardness are on the same level as Adamantine. To be able to wield such a weapon, one's brute strength is absolutely terrifying. It's easy to crush bones with one's bare hands. Such a super-heavy weapon is extremely difficult to wield, and one's combat skills are definitely not weak.]
[Don't look as if you didn't see it. Her eyes were flickering, but her hands were always on you. You've been completely locked on. She didn't look down on you because you're young. She's a veteran who has been through hundreds of battles. And no matter what you do, she will react faster than you.]
[Look at the fingertips of her hands. There are faint traces of electricity. There are two possibilities. She has the ability to accelerate her body's speed, or she's already prepared a direct lightning attack spell … No matter which one it is, the attack will be so fast that you won't be able to react to it. Don't be distracted for even half a second.]
In the past, when Rorschach was carrying out personal missions, the experts in the headquarters had helped him a lot. In many situations, experience and knowledge were more important than combat strength. Being able to receive the experts' immediate guidance was one of Rorschach's advantages. Most of the time, he only needed to foolishly follow instructions.
"Apart from saying that my opponent is strong, is there no other useful information?"
[Yes. Although she pretends not to care, her eyes will occasionally shift to the hostage in your hands. She cares a lot.]
But now, this trick that had worked so well in the past was completely useless. His opponent's power level was obviously higher than Rorschach's. Not only that, his opponent's power level and job class were all very unfamiliar to him. Nobody could come up with a plan that would definitely work.
Did he really have to threaten her with a hostage?
With the experts' suggestions, Rorschach made his decision. He casually loosened his grip and directly placed Xixi on the ground.
Even his opponent, who had been expressionless all this time, was somewhat surprised. Rorschach shrugged with a nonchalant expression.
"Actually, we're enemies with the Horned Elephant tribe. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. I came here this time with the intention of forming an alliance with you." I didn't expect that the guide leading me here was actually your so-called Saintess. Then, your people came looking for me, which led to this series of misunderstandings. "
"You want to explain? That's meaningless. I have no interest in the matters between the Eagle and the Horned Elephant. My promise is still valid. The Saintess belongs to the mountain. Leave her here, and you can leave. "
Rorschach smiled. These simple words revealed a lot of thought-provoking information.
"Fine, I'll leave her to you. I'm leaving."
What if he was weaker than his opponent? He could only admit defeat.
The experts couldn't provide him with a sure-win formula. Rorschach, who had no chance of winning, didn't intend to force himself. Even if he left this so-called Saintess behind, Rorschach wouldn't lose anything … He already had a plan to deal with the leakage of the secret.
Salia nodded silently. She still had her arms crossed and didn't move, but her gaze was much gentler.
"Tomorrow, I'll send someone to send you a candy. You'll be fine after eating it. I don't want to become enemies with your tribe. Let's both take a step back. There's still a possibility of cooperation in the future."
The whisper sounded in Mu Na's ears. It sounded like a threat, but it wasn't a lie.
Her life was naturally more important. Mu Na nodded silently. Rorschach smiled and prepared to leave.
But just as Rorschach took two steps, an accident happened.
"Don't let him go! He knows the secret of Mount Sainte! "
As soon as the seal on her mouth was torn, her scream echoed in the valley. Almost at the same time, Rorschach felt a sense of danger and looked up. A giant axe was already above his head!
"Boom!"
The entire valley shook. In front of Rorschach was a giant axe that directly split open a trench in the hard ground. The Guardian of the Mountains was also right in front of him.
The only reason it didn't hit Rorschach was because its eyes were filled with killing intent. It didn't want to launch a sneak attack without declaring war.
"Sigh, why are people so hot-tempered these days? They can't even say a few words and they start fighting. That leftover woman over there, aren't you afraid that you'll suddenly die tomorrow? "
Rorschach was a little surprised. Although it was full of misdirection and truth, he didn't feel like he had been exposed. How did she know that it was really just a candy?
"Compared to the secret of Mount Sainte, my life is nothing!"
Rorschach gritted his teeth so hard that they were bleeding. His beautiful eyes were filled with a resolute will to die. Seeing such a generous attitude towards death, and seeing Salia's righteous indignation and anger, Rorschach felt like he had somehow become the villain again.
"Sigh, no one believes the truth these days. Then let me tell you again. It's meaningless for you to stop me. Countless people already know this secret."
But the axe that came crashing down was undoubtedly proof that Rorschach's words were true. No one believed the truth these days.
"Clang!"
This time, however, the battle axe was blocked by a seemingly old and broken sword … which was actually filled with cracks and patches.
