The Strongest Knight's

Ch. 105 - Fugitive

Richard turned a blind eye when he suddenly had been on the hill after previously still in the castle of Ifrit. He closed his eyes because of the sunlight that made his vision disturbed so bright, for a year trapped and survive in the labyrinth this time Richard again felt the sensation of seeing the blinding sunlight.

He closed his eyes while holding back the sunlight with both hands, slowly opening his eyes and trying to get used to the bright sunlight again.

It was not easy what else his eyeballs had become so sensitive that he could see in even very dark situations. The most noticeable feature of his eyeballs is the discoloration that occurs from a black eyeball to a red eyeball.

He was still on the hill, still trying to get his eyesight used to the sunlight. He rubbed his eyes and turned back and looked at a large cave guarded by several Inggram kingdom soldiers, who were in the care of the royal house, even though it had been a year but Richard was still able to recognize the uniforms of the royal soldiers. "Looks.. I've returned to the mainland!" His words narrowed his eyes.

Richard was sure to say that because the cave he saw today was the entrance to the labyrinth, where he was trapped and made himself survive against all the monsters he found.

"alright.. Where should I go now!" He muttered to himself, wearing a hood from his black robe to protect himself from the sunlight. He also wore a face mask so that no one would recognize him. At the moment he looks like an assassin, with the clothes he is wearing.

A black robe.. A gift from Ifrit.

His destination was clear, the land of Gres but he did not know which way he should go. A year in the labyrinth makes him not know anything about the current situation including knowing the direction or location of Gres. The book he read also does not explain in detail where the land of Gres is located or rather where the existence of Olympic mountains, high mountains that soar to the sky where the gods live.

Richard tried to look around, this time his vision had begun to improve even though there were still points of light that disturbed but the whole he could already see.

From the west of the labyrinth entrance gate in the cave, he saw a city. The distance is quite far but he can travel on foot to the city and until before the sun goes down. Richard could see the city because he was currently standing on a fairly high hill, he could also see a row of trees surrounding the hill.

A moment later, he decided to go to the city he was looking at to find information about the direction or look for a map of the Neverland landmass so that he could find the location of Gres land and go to that place.

Richard walked down from the hill, he held his left arm. The left arm that once fed a cyclops monster, now it has grown back together with the strength it received from Ifrit.

Meanwhile, in the city where Richard was headed. Lister Town, more precisely in the town square.

"Aahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.. It's so boring that woman, she doesn't even tell me what her name is." Woli Mumbled.

Woli walks casually in the middle of the town square, he has been in the city of Lister for 3 months after previously traveling from city to city and village to village in the Inggram region. He does the same as Oana does, seeking information on Richard's whereabouts.

Although the information he got was bad information, he did not believe it. The sense of awe embedded since he was helped a year ago made Woli sure that Richard would not do such a thing. He believes.. The brief encounter led him to trust Richard even after a year had passed.

Woli settled for a long time in this city because he knew that this city was the nearest city of the labyrinth where Richard was declared dead by the kingdom of Inggram. For 3 months he was patient waiting if at any time the person he amazed appeared, then surely Richard would appear in this city. I don't know where that belief came from but again werewolves are never wrong if they follow their instincts.

In addition, in this city Woli became a thief and a fugitive royal warrior. He stole to distribute the loot to slaves who were not fed by their masters. As a former slave, he clearly felt what the slaves felt. That is why Woli recklessly became a food thief because if only relying on the results of side work then he could not meet the needs of slaves or poor people who live in this city.

Over the course of a year, the child Woli developed into a tough teenager. He had fought many bad guys, robbers and soldiers and even knights. He also had potential in him, what else Woli could emit a huge aura that was almost at the level of great knights.

That is why to this day Woli still roams the city and has not been captured by the soldiers. Not only did stealing become his fault, but a month ago he freed all slaves from the slave market in the 2nd district of Lister.

Which is a grave mistake because basically the slave market in this city gets recognition from the kingdom aka legal. Even the punitive sanction of Woli's crime was a death sentence because he had damaged the business of one of Inggram's royal noblemen.

Although often cornered by soldiers even to knights, but Woli with agility and fast movement can always be blurred to this day. It makes Woli laugh and confident, which is why he dared to openly roam the city center.

With the status of a royal fugitive, he could still enjoy a leisurely walk in the middle of the city square as he used a head covering to keep his face unrecognizable by others. The woli walked very casually, as if there was no burden when he was the most wanted fugitive in the entire city. He walked to put both of his hands into the pocket of the trousers he was wearing at the moment. His mind was still floating about a woman he had just met, a beautiful woman who wanted to look for Richard just like him.

In the crowd he walked while looking at the shops on the side of the road. Now his intention to steal back again, moreover he did not see any guards or patrolmen at this time. "Golden opportunity." His mind.

Woli stopped walking, he glanced at the fruit shop on his left. He noticed the surrounding conditions once again, before long.. "Hey you!!" Someone patted his shoulder.

Woli did not raise his face, he knew that the person holding his shoulder right now was a knight. "You.. Try opening your hood!" The knight raised his hand to open the hood of the robe that Woli was wearing. Not until his hand touched the hood worn by Woli, with his agility and quick reflexes Woli moved his shoulders back and turned directing a hard kick to the face of the knight.

"Hem.. I'm sorry but I won't let my guard down!" The knight was able to withstand a Woli kick with just one hand.

"Oh!!" The surprised woli retreated, he saltoed several times towards the back.

Suddenly the action made the people around turned to look at the two of them.

"Catch that fugitive!!" Shouted the knight who managed to fend off his kick.

Instantly from behind, a group of soldiers and some knights ran towards Woli. "Wad.. The gawat!! Too many.." His voice jumped past several people, he ran using his 2 feet and 2 hands. Just like the attacking wolf running with 4 legs.

"Catch him!! Don't let the fugitive get away. He's already troubling the townspeople a lot." Say that knight.

Several knights and soldiers chased after Woli. From the direction the knight who gave the order stood, someone came up to him. "Where is that wolf boy?" Her speech.

"Ah sir.. Sorry, the soldiers and some knights are chasing him." The reply.

"Victors.. You better come after the boy." The knight wearing armor looked at the Woli who had been far ahead.

"That boy has a strange aura, I'm not sure the soldiers and knights chasing them will be able to catch the boy." Rigorously.

"Alright then sir, I'll catch up with them." The knight named Victor looked obedient to the knight beside him.

"One more!! If it's necessary, you just kill him.." Firmly knight who has the title above Victor's.

"Ready Mr. Eros.." Strictly knight Victor, then he passed chasing Woli who was far ahead.

It turned out that the knight who gave the order and directly intervened to capture Woli was Eros Lopnika, a great knight of the kingdom of Inggram who also became one of the right-hand knights of the kingdom of Inggram.

Eros Lopnika received a special order to lead the arrest of a fugitive who has not been captured for 3 months by knights in this city. The woli in the sense was already very unsettling, what else after the incident he made at the slave auction venue.

Meanwhile, the,

Land of Gres, in an empty old fortress..

"All right, the food is ready!!" Gildarts shouted from the central room of the castle, where Gildarts had placed food on a table in the room.

The sound of the screams of Gildarts were very loud made the other holy knights hear it and it was also an alarm for them to gather after slaughtering all the monsters and demons contained in this old fortress.

"Huh.. Finally!!" Smits stood up from the pile of demonic corpses he was sitting on.

"Ivy... Vyyy.." Smits builds Ivy who falls asleep not far from his place.

And then in the fort..

"Oi.. Pege, it's lunch time. I'm hungry!!" Rebecca shouted at Pege who was meditating.

Pege does not respond, Rebecca is upset and leaves Pege. "Hemmm why doesn't the quiet man come with Arthur if he just wants to talk to Arthur." Mumbled.

They gathered in the central room of the fortress.

"Dadeuh.. I can finally eat."

"Where's Rebecca?" Gildarts asked Ivy because right now they are just three.

Ivy hasn't answered that question, then. "Yey Yeyyy eat.. A meal.. Eat!!!" Rebecca approached with a big smile.

"Oh Rebecca.. You're beautiful when you smile like that." Said Gildarts seeing Rebecca approaching.

"What a fact Uncle... You're too old for Rebecca, shade..."

"A, Smits.. I told you not to misunderstand.. This Rebecca just reminds me of my sister." Gildarts defended himself.

"Hehehehhe.." Ivy laughed lightly.

The four of them then had lunch even though it was actually late afternoon. They dined while listening to Rebecca's rant about Pege.

"Why didn't Arthur just bring Pege!"

"Why the pony guy won't talk to me, just piss me off.."

"Ne.. Ne.. You know, I always talk to her, but she's always quiet... Ahhhkr."

"I'm pissed I'm pissed off by Pege!!"

"Bahh.. Uncle eating this is so good."

Ivy just smiled hearing all the complaints after complaints released by Rebecca. While Smits clogs his ears so that Rebecca's cry is not heard by him. Gildarts blushed in embarrassment as Rebecca praised her food, she even looked strange with a smile on her face.

"Ah... Rebecca, you better slow down and don't forget to leave some for Pege. Hehe" This time Ivy smiled awkwardly.

"No.. Huh!! He himself was wrong because he always wanted to eat alone." Rebecca threw her face away, still blabbering and upset that during the trip she was trying to get along with Pege but Pege never responded to her at all.

Back in the Inggram kingdom, still in the city of Lister. This time it is on the edge of the city, because the Woli that is still being chased is cornered to the slums of the city.

"Dam.. They're still after me!" Woli looked back while running, this time he had run with both feet and no longer used both hands the same as at the beginning he ran like a 4-legged animal.

"What a hell!" Woli jumped as he saw one of the knights attacking using a long-range attack.

Banggg... The attack brought down an old hut. Luckily the hut was not occupied by anyone.

The slum residents can only be dumbstruck and feel depressed and a little afraid due to the chases that occur.

Woli kept running but this time he could not escape the knights chasing after him. He continued to run until he entered the forest, he deliberately entered the forest and left the slums because he did not want if the knights continued to attack and injure the slums.

Over time he continued to run, he was pressed and began to fatigue. Then he was surprised because he saw a knight hovering above him. The knight turned out to be able to use the wind empire and attack Woli from above.. Boommmm-fr..

The explosion of the attack sent the ground crashing and the Woli was thrown due to the effect of the attack. He hit a tree and was pushed. Shortly after he realized, he was surrounded by 15 soldiers and 5 knights

"Lady.." The woli spat out blood, he was injured as a result of the attack that blew him away.

"You can't go anywhere anymore werewolves!" Said one of the knights.

The woli rose, he strengthened his muscles and extended his nails as a weapon to claw and wound his enemies. Woli looked at all of them, he had been surrounded by soldiers and knights from the front, back, left and right sides.

"Groan!!!" Quite a command, the soldiers directly attacked Woli, one throwing a spear towards Woli.

Woli lowered his head, bent down and jumped quickly towards one of the soldiers and clawed the soldier's face to the brim with blood. He again jumped towards the other soldiers, jumping continuously from one soldier to another but when he wanted to jump for the fifth time he was attacked with a long-range attack, he dodged in the air. The long-range strike hit another soldier behind Woli.

After dodging Woli again attacked the soldier, this time he used his sharp fangs by biting the soldier's legs until he could not move. During this time Woli had never killed anyone, he had only injured his opponent in order for his opponent to give up. That is the principle, he does not want to be seen as a killer monster by anyone.

The woli also gave off a huge aura that made the knights give orders for the soldiers to retreat. This time the five knights were going to face Woli whose breathing was already heavy due to fighting with the soldiers.

The five warriors attacked using swords, of course Woli was desperate but with agility he could dodge and counterattack. But those knights were not like the knights Woli used to face. They were knights who joined the army of great knights led by Eros Lopnika so it was natural that the knights could serve the speed and agility of the Woli.

From the front, one of the knights attacked. He swung the sword to the side and Woli jumped agilely but the other knights attacked from behind until Woli's arm was injured. The woli jumped high so that he managed to get out of the encirclement of the knights.

Right now in he was cornered, in front of him the five knights were preparing to strike back. "Huh.. Wkwk.. I have to use it." Woli smiled then.. The huge aura reappeared and at this moment the aura was clearly felt by all of them.

"Huh!! Where's this aura from?" Just as he finished saying the question, one of the knights who was nearby was thrown backwards.

The woli attacked the thrown knight, this time the agility and speed increased. His luminous body was filled with electricity, it turned out that Woli was unknowingly using the lightning empire to increase his speed and agility.

After making one of the knights flung, he again attacked with his claws, and, although he was attacked first but he managed to avoid using acrobatic techniques in the air quickly and clawed the body of one of the knights.

The knight fell down full of blood, because the armor the knight wore was torn easily torn apart with long claws that flowed into the lightning empire.

"Huh.. The monster!!!" After saying that, one of the knights was surprised that Woli was right in front of his face, Woli smiled again and attacked the knight until he fainted.

Now there are only 2 more knights left, but the two knights managed to keep up with Woli and a fierce fight ensued. A battle that made the eyes of the soldiers who were still conscious wide open. Two-on-one combat, where each other attack and defend occurs.

Then.. From the edge of town. "Impetu ferri lumine." A long-range attack came quickly and...

"Huh..!" Woli was surprised, he did not manage to dodge.

"Mr Victor.." Said one of the soldiers looking from the direction of the attack.

The woli was thrown quite far away, he was injured and his great aura disappeared. It seemed like Woli had already reached the limit and he had currently been knocked down on the ground of the grass.

They all approached and again surrounded the already defenseless Woli. Only one attack but that was enough because Victor was the best knight of the great knight army that Eros Lopnika had.

Victor approached, he saw an injured Woli. Woli is still conscious and trying to get up but he can't because of the injury he got from Victor's powerful attack.

"You.. You're so unsettling that we had to leave the royal palace just to catch you!" Victor stared cynically.

Victor approached, squatting beside Woli and strangling her neck. He lun stood up and made the feet of the Woli not touch the ground, it certainly made the Woli thrash in pain.

"You can choose.. I kill you in this place or.. I'll arrest you and in the end you'll also get the death penalty!!" He's still strangling the woli.

Meanwhile, Woli's face had turned red and could no longer say anything.

"Ehh.. Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you guys but isn't it good to gang up on people like that?"

The knights, soldiers, Victor and Woli looked to the right, where the voice suddenly asked them.

And the one who asked that was Richard.
