A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 26: The Pursuit - 1

Rion was able to take a breath of relief for a moment after the distance between his current position and the Arcchild Fortress was quite far away. With this the escape he planned could be counted successfully with his departure from that fortress. However, this escape plan had not been a complete success.

Although there were some changes to the original plan that had been planned in advance. However, this result was better than what Rion had expected, especially the new knowledge from the special area he had obtained.

One of the results that Rion got was a proper explosion that occurred the moment he exited the fortress.

The explosion was entirely thanks to the [Magic: Delay] that Rion applied to the fire and wind magic he combined and then compressed it into a minuscule, minuscule state, as small as possible of what he could to make an explosion at the time of release.

From this result alone Rion could already be seen that the books in that particular area were extremely valuable. There may be other magic more useful than this, but he thinks this magic is very useful for stealth attacks or for traps.

However, due to Rion's lack of handling using this magic, the time of release of magic that he had set before was much longer than what happened. Because of this he had to fight like before, making him have to measure time even longer.

However, Rion had not been able to feel relieved and he refocused.

“They will definitely send a pursuer,” This is what makes Rion not yet able to be relieved. Glancing around, he muttered, “At least I'll find a water source then use it to remove my scent trail before searching for a completely safe escape path.”

Setting a new plan he rushed through this vast forest.

Although Rion had obtained a lot of useful information from the library, but the information of the terrain around the fortress itself was stored in the space Seriana occupied, and indirectly made the wall invisible to him.

The day is getting late, but Rion has yet to find a source of water to remove any trace of the smell. “If it continues like this I will be overtaken,” murmured anxiously.

Rion racked his brain, looking for another way to get out of this state. If he used water magic to remove the smell it would most likely not have much effect, considering they could trace the new smell through the remaining water left behind.

‘It's getting harder,’ Surrender did not find another idea, Rion muttered softly, “It seems like I do have to find a source of water like a river.”

Rion scratched his head, though he read a lot of new knowledge in the special area books. However, he was unable to find the right way to deal with his problem.

If there was, but in Rion's current ability it was still unable to do.

“Even the use of delay I still find it difficult, let alone magic whose control is more difficult than that..,” Really has no other choice, Rion sighed.

Rion continued walking, although the lack of information had become a big obstacle for him. The only thing he knew was to glance at the map that Seriana sometimes took out as she tailed behind him.

The moonlight had now become the main light for Rion, and he was still unable to find a way to deal with her problem.

‘I only have half a day left,’ thought Rion assuming that the battle lasted for two days.

Suddenly, an attack came at him with great speed. Rion dodged quickly, even so the attack still left a slight scratch on his left arm.

Rion turned his attention, looked around and now he realized that some of the black shadow figures that were seen were moving rapidly from one tree to another.

Now Rion focused more on his attention, even though he had assumptions on which side they were from but still could not help being surprised. “They finished sooner than I thought ...”

“Oo ... Even the attack was dodged, it looks like this guy is quite great,” Fold said in the shadow of the forest.

“Pretty talk Fold, we get this done quickly! I want to get some rest!” other member's word.

“True!” As Ale said this, he did not forget to launch an arrow at Rion.

Rion managed to avoid the attack that came with little difficulty, although he was able to realize the direction and form of the attack. However, his body was slower than his mind making such movements often times late.

Rion's mind grew increasingly focused as he faced the chain of high-speed attacks coming from all directions.

‘Killer! Undoubtedly ten of them must be a trained assassin!’

After surviving the attack of his enemy all this time who continued to launch attacks from all points and always led to his vital point, he said, it was possible that Rion could not be certain that his opponent was trained in battle techniques that specialized in the field of killing.

“This is getting serious ..!” Gritting his teeth, Rion finally realized who the identity of the eleventh person who had just seen the fight from afar.

The more Rion noticed, the more he realized that he was on the edge of the horn. If the person continues to analyze his movements, then it is certain that his weakness will be seen soon. Given that most of the movements that Rion made, came from his training and observations on Marco.

During training, although Rion did not show it, he was actually able to perform most of the movements taught.

However, for the sake of his escape, Rion did not train him perfectly to prevent himself from being noticed again. With all of that, he only understood basic movements without ever being trained perfectly causing many of his rigid movements.

After observing Rion, Marco exhaled a long breath. ‘It seems this is the reason Miss Seriana asked him to be taken alive.’

Previously she had thought that Seriana wanted to punish Rion personally and more severely. However, after observing the young man he could confirm that the young man had great strength from mere observation.

For example was the current situation where Rion could survive facing ten people at the level of gold power level 4.

Although many of the moves that Rion made were still rigid, but Marco was able to deduce all of them because the young man still did not have much experience in actual combat.

Many movements do not actually need to be done, as well as the reaction is quite slow on some occasions.

If they managed to control Rion, it was certain that this would be a great weapon in the battle against the demi-humans. Like the emperor's orders, rule the land in the Zestia Continent.

“Everyone listen to my orders!”

However, if that was all, then Marco did not need to step in, his experience was more than enough to win this battle.

As per her promise to herself, their Miss orders will be fulfilled.
