Chapter 61 - No, This Here?

"That's it."

Ian was startled by that voice.

For a moment, he felt as if time had stopped.

But Giovanni was appalled seeing the man holding him. He didn't seem to understand this situation.

"W... why is my magic...?"

His flame magic that was about to kill Ian vanished into thin air.

Thus, Giovanni tried to ignite the magic again and burn both the red-haired man and Ian.

"You fool."

The man's reptilian eyes flashed, and a surprising thing happened in the next instant.

He reversed the flame magic Giovanni was trying to use, and Giovanni was engulfed in the fire that was meant to be directed at Ian.

"Argh!"

He became firewood alive and was reduced to a lump of charcoal.

At the end, when Giovanni collapsed, the man wiped his hands as if they were dirty.

Seeing the shocking sight, the three knights stood in front of Ian nervously. The aura exuded by the man was unusual.

"Your Highness, it is dangerous."

"Please run away. We will buy time."

The red-haired man looked at the knights with great interest.

"Oh, you can stand in front of me? You lot are pretty good."

"...!"

"But how rude of you?"

As the red-haired man approached, the knights gripped their swords even tighter.

Everyone had no choice but to gulp nervously at the choking aura and killing intent.

However, feeling the red-haired man's purpose and murderous aura, Ian ordered the knights.

"Everyone, lower your sword."

"B... But Your Highness! That guy is dangerous..."

"If he made up his mind, we would very well have died, after all."

"!"

It was most likely true.

This intense aura pressed the knights just by his appearance. Besides, although Giovanni's level was not above four-star, that man had the ability to neutralize the spell of a three-star wizard with just a tap.

The dragon was clearly above the level of Celestial Dragon at the least.

Those fabled creatures in the legend who were called the masters of magic.

'If that's for sure, we'd better not fight that guy.'

Ian didn't know why that man saved him, but if he confronted him, it would be his loss. As if reading his thoughts, the man with the red hair smiled mysteriously.

"Oh, so that's how you'll do."

The man reached out to Ian in an instant, and magical energy oozed from that hand.

The knights immediately invoked their Oath.

"Your Highness!"

But then.

Bang!

The attack from the red-haired man's hand flew past Ian's face and straight behind him.

And the shriek that followed.
