Lord: I can see loyalty.

"It really was you!"

Upon seeing Vio, Sean's bloodshot face broke into a chilling smile, and he swiftly drew his sword.

"Since you're all here, does that mean Kars failed? But it doesn't matter..."

"A bunch of idiots, they actually delivered themselves to my doorstep! They don't think they can defeat me just because they outnumber me!"

"Be careful, my lord, this guy..." Gertó looked at the other person with a troubled expression.

Vio also raised his sword and assumed a fighting stance, his eyes fixed on his opponent, and the panel appeared.

Name: Sean

Race: Human

Age: 41

[Hobbies: Strong liquor, sword practice, humiliating enemies]

【Characteristics: Irritable, Swift, Advanced Basic Swordsmanship, Proficient Riding, Proficient Archery, Enraged by Severe Wounds】

Loyalty: Not loyal to you

Basic Swordsmanship, Advanced!

By the standards of the Kingdom of Rovia, he was already close to the level of a formal knight! No wonder he was able to rule over such a group of extremely wicked people.

Vio and Gertrude exchanged a glance, gripped their swords, and charged forward first.

call!

The sound of something cutting through the air swept past everyone's ears, but the blade that should have struck Sean missed!

Sean's speed completely overwhelmed Vio. After dodging the attack, he was about to slash at Vio with his sword, but Galto immediately raised his sword to block the blow.

Vio tried to take the opportunity to swing his sword at him again, the tip of the sword kicking up dust as it flew upwards toward his chest.

But Sean deftly twisted away the attack, simultaneously kicking Galto aside. To Vio's disbelief, his arm, veins bulging, slashed fiercely at him.

Just a little bit off? No, he had already calculated my maximum distance! Vio didn't have time to be surprised and could only raise his sword to block his attack.

Deng!

The astonishing force smashed a gash into Vio's sword blade, the gleaming white blade nearly striking Vio's face.

"Ugh!" Vio gritted his teeth, pushed hard, and quickly backed away.

Gina quickly stepped forward to support Vio, who was losing his balance, and the others also stood in front of Sean.

"Hahaha! Is that all you've got?!"

Sean did not choose to pursue, his eyes filled with a fervent desire for battle, and he grinned mockingly with a ferocious smile.

"Let's all attack together now. This guy's swordsmanship is probably at an advanced level." Gertó clutched his stomach, still in pain, and he knew the enemy's strength very well.

Jimmy and Xavier nodded and rushed out, swinging their swords at Sean, but he only took a few steps back, causing them to miss their target.

Vio and Gertó stepped forward again, giving him no chance to rest. As Sean retreated, he bent down and raised his sword to his ear.

call!

The sword blade transformed into a silver arc and slashed out!

Before Vio and his companion even reached them, their skin was instantly torn open, and blood flowed freely from their arms and shoulders.

Seeing this, Sean stopped retreating again and was about to speak when a sword rushed out from among the four and stabbed at him. It was the girl who was following him!

Sean reacted quickly, but the girl's sword was faster than he had imagined. Before he could raise his sword to block, the tip of the sword had already pierced his arm.

The sharp blade easily pierced through the cloth sleeve, and the gushing blood instantly stained Sean's left hand red.

"Damn it!"

Sean's eyes widened in disbelief that this girl was faster than him!

Years of combat experience caused Sean's right arm muscles to tense up instinctively, and he then swung his sword at the girl.

But the girl simply dodged the full-force attack with a sideways movement, and spun around to slash the blade at Sean again!

Sean sensed something was wrong and tried to back away, but it was too late. The longsword pierced through his flesh and severed his bleeding left arm.

The girl quickly adjusted her posture to counteract the inertia of the spinning slash.

"Drink—ah!"

In pain, Sean slammed his fist into the hard ground, creating a powerful wave that forced everyone back.

He stumbled back a few steps, looking somewhat disheveled, his previous composure gone, his blood-red pupils filled with disbelief.

What's wrong with this guy? This speed and power are impossible for a woman to possess.

"grown ups!"

Not far away, two bandits also saw their leader being attacked by several people and losing an arm. They grabbed their weapons and rushed over.

Vio stared at Gina in disbelief. If he hadn't seen her stats, he would have thought she was hiding her strength.

Vio looked up Gina's panel again and was even more incredulous.

Basic Swordsmanship, Advanced!

During this battle, Gina has already reached the advanced level!

"I've had enough, you bunch of stupid idiots!"

Sean pushed aside two bandits with his elbow, gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and his face was covered with sweat from the pain.

He gasped for breath, uttering each word slowly as he raised the sword in his right hand.

"Since you want to die, then you'll die at the hands of this wolf!"

call! !

In an instant, Sean's right hand swung across, slicing off the heads of the bandits on both sides like clay sculptures, before kicking them towards Vio and the others.

Vio raised his sword and cleaved the flying head in two. In an instant, Sean was already in front of them, wielding his sword with one hand and slashing rapidly!

The group couldn't find a chance to get close and could only retreat, but wounds kept appearing on their bodies.

He wielded an ordinary one-handed sword with the force of a greatsword!

Bang!

As the slash landed, dust billowed up, and they could only hurriedly scatter to create distance between themselves.

Looking at the cloud of dust, everyone could only grip their swords carefully, wary of a sudden attack from the enemy, while Gina stared intently ahead, seemingly searching for something.

"Found it!"

Gina bent down and instantly thrust her sword into the dust and mist, and a figure rushed out from it, which was none other than Sean, whose face was now completely unrecognizable!

Clang!

In the exchange, Sean's sword nearly grazed Gina's shoulder, tearing off her sleeve, but Gina's sword pierced his throat with pinpoint accuracy!

"Ugh!"

Sean's cheeks swelled up instantly, followed by a gush of blood, and he collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way.

"Gina!"

Vio rushed forward worriedly, helped Gina up when she was about to collapse from exhaustion, and distanced himself from Sean who had fallen to the ground.

Gertó also stepped forward quickly, drew his sword, and prepared to deliver the final blow to the bandit leader.

"My lord!" Several bandits rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and a scarred-faced man leaped forward to shield Sean from a fatal blow.

Sean covered his throat with his right hand, using his body and legs to pull Vio and the others away, while making whimpering noises.

"……Well!"

His will to survive drove him to twist and turn desperately toward the house, as if he could survive there.

Gina lay panting in Vio's arms, but spoke earnestly to Vio before her.

"Lord Vio, I'm alright, go and kill that bandit!"

Vio was taken aback at first, but quickly regained his composure. After instructing Jimmy to protect Gina from the bandits, he grabbed his sword and rushed forward!

The bandits tried to stop Vio, but were all killed by Galto and Xavier, until Vio reached Sean, who was crawling.

puff!

The sound of a sword piercing flesh was incredibly realistic as it plunged into the head; that's how Vio pierced the head of the bandits' leader, Sean.

His mutilated body trembled, and then he fell completely still.
