THE LAST HOBBIT'S

24 - Magic Knights

...'To save a friend, he is forced to come out of hiding.'...

...*****...

"I obviously saw Arslan and Natur go this way, but where are they?" Sofia circulated her gaze and looked for her two friends. He frowned when he saw the Natur sparrows flying around, what a sign.

"Arlan...! Nature...!" Sofia called her two friends' names again, but there was no answer. The beautiful girl also began to ask to be taken down by An when something approached.

!!

Sofia jerks. He watched as some people flew closer and was shocked to find out that these people were magic knights. The purple robe they wore with the moon orchid pattern was already a sign that they were the magic knights of Helena Vennamous.

"A-An, run. Run An..!" Sofia tells An to run, but behind them are also seen some magic knights. He swallowed and clearly felt very tense.

"W-how is this..." Sofia is certainly not recognized by the magic knights as Natur uses the previous appearance-altering magic. She also looks like a girl from the human race, especially with brownish-colored hair.

"Those sitting next to the two intruders!" one of the knights exclaimed and made Sofia surprised.

"I saw it too. Those two people are an intruder plot! Catch 'em!"

"Ga-gawat," Sofia widened her eyes as the knights around her started brandishing magic wands and lashing out attacks. He held An tightly and closed his eyes while shouting for help.

"DISCREAM TIENSA!" the magic incision comes and stops right above Sofia and An. The attack suppressed the catcher magic of the Lunar Orchis knights and made a huge shock.

!!!

Sofia was still in a state of shock, she looked around and the attack that should have hit her became instantaneous. He did hear an exclamation when something suddenly jumped up and retraced right before him.

"A-arslan?!" Sofia felt greatly relieved that the figure standing before her was currently none other than her adventure friend. He is very happy because Arslan came at the right time.

"An, take Sofia and get out of here." Arslan open voice. He spoke but with eyes straight ahead.

Sofia was shocked by what she heard, she said. "Arslan, what do you mean... You're gonna face them alone? I-I'm not gonna let it-"

"Stop talking. This is all because of your fault" Arslan should be able to hide well if Sofia doesn't come with An. Moreover, the Natur sparrows also seemed to know that their owner was in this place.

"Arlan..." Sofia was crying because she felt so guilty. But it does not help to get away from what they are facing.

"An, now!" Arslan gives the order and An then runs with Sofia. Some magic knights tried to stop them, but an arrow thrust shocked the magic knights.

There was a magic knight who spontaneously followed the origin of the dart lesion and saw a white-robed figure standing on a small branch of a pine tree. He also casts his magic, but Arslan stops it.

There were about 9 magic knights that Arslan had to deal with. The 1.3-meter-tall young man was convinced that there would be many other magic knights from Lunar Orchis coming here. They had to win this fight immediately before reinforcements from the opponents came.

Nature pulled her bow back. An arrow is created and while it is in the air. The arrow looked like it was splitting itself up into very many. The knights who were strong in defensive magic were now forming shields. It's just that Arslan did not stay still and cast magic that was able to spread in various directions.

!!!

"No way..."

"Mu-Impossible..."

!!!

Of course it's very surprising. The knights were thrown in various directions with just one magic spell belonging to Arslan. Not a few of them were very shocked because their opponents had such a short physique.

It felt as if the great ability of the subject before them was inversely proportional to the physical height of only 1.3 meters. Even Natur who was on a small branch of a pine tree looked unexpected.

These people do not know anything, including the fact that Arslan was once one of the creatures that once saved the world from dragon attacks. This kind of battle would obviously not be comparable to that great war.

Although it had been a long time for Arslan to return to using his magic, but his speed and power never reduced at all.

Arslan's magic is flawed, but that's because it can't be defeated and most people who play this magic will die on the spot.

Arslan knew how to withstand his power and that's why he never used a magic wand. The magic wand replacement weapon was just an old dagger that had even been heavily rusted.

One of the magic knights snarled, "I will not let go of the intruder who has dared to mess with Lunar Orchis and steal the precious items in that place..!"

!!

Nature who is still in the small branches of pine trees also appear to jerk. Arslan asked that he should not go down and only need to help from a distance. Yet one of the magic knights was clearly on a different level. Nature has no choice but to worry about Arslan.

Unlike Nature, Arslan's attitude has not changed much. The 1.3-meter-tall youth was seen putting on an expression as calm as ever, even as the magic knights were gathering their strength to be glued together.

Arslan knew that these men were the best knights who had been chosen. He would not underestimate them even though honestly, these knights indeed still had to have a lot of experience if fighting alongside him.

"Arlan..." Natur looks very astonished when watching how Arslan fights alone against 9 magic knights. Not only that, the young man was even able to dodge dozens of arrows that he had slammed into.

"He suggested that I keep throwing arrows like in the valley of that time and this was really effective. Hah, those magic knights simply cannot retaliate." Nature gets excited.

He praised Arslan who had many surprising and very exciting plans for someone who likes a challenge like him. Natur smiled broadly as she pulled back her bow, "It's so cool..!"

Only Natur can smile in this kind of situation, Arslan looks very serious and really has to be careful in every step. He only hopes that An can bring Sofia and go to a safe place before this condition becomes more and more runny.

Neither Arslan nor Natur realized that the other magic knights of the Lunar Orchis were starting to fly closer and not only that, there was one of the knights who rode his broomstick standing up. The figure of the woman holding a strangely carved brush in her hand.
