Chapter 355: 355

Luke immediately used Shield Magic .

However, the magic disappeared the moment it got activated and was absorbed into the cage .

For a brief moment, Luke felt discomfort when his power was being sucked .

He was able to see why Gregory felt exhausted after a few strikes .

And it was for everyone, not just Luke .

Naturally, they couldn’t stop the arrows that were flying through the bars .

“Keuk, be careful, Master!”

Assassins and some knights of the Saint Guard were shot and killed .

Luke was safe thanks to Hwang Bo-sung’s arm taking in the arrows .

Gregory was able to block an arrow because of one of his men .

“Lord, they are going to shoot again!”

At the voice of Henry, Luke ordered .

“Use the dead ones as a shield!”

In response, the assassins made barriers with the bodies of the dead . They were feeling uneasy to use the bodies of their comrades for their survival .

Seeing that, Nanas laughed .

“You could surely do that . However, how long will those useless shields last?”

As Nanas said, the second round of arrows was being prepared .

Rather than using auras, the arrows were being pulled strongly .

And that meant strong power on impact .

A few more assassin and Saint Guards fell trying to shield themselves from the arrows .

“Dammit, those goddammed bastards!”

The angry assassins threw out their daggers .

However, because of their power being sucked into the cage, the daggers didn’t go that far .

“This can’t be! There is no way!”

The knights were in tears, hitting the ground with their swords .

They couldn’t believe that they had fallen for such a measly trap and was about to die helplessly .

‘What now? Should I use every last bit of my power?’

While Luke was in conflict .

There was a different kind of power Luke had besides magic and swordsmanship .

He thought that somehow he could endure it .

However, it was a gamble .

If he failed to escape with that power, he would really become the hostage of Nanas .

‘Dammit! If I knew this would happen, I would have brought my men!’

He was irritated by the fact that his men were being wiped out by a few fairies .

As the look of regret could clearly be seen on his face, Nanas smiled .

“Hohoho . I need to finish it now . All of you, attack at once…”

The moment her orders fell, huge flames rose from behind .

‘Nanas has to be stopped!’

When meeting Bratt, Erwin came across the fact that Nanas was installing a trap in the Dark Forest .

There was one target for the trap installed .

When she arrived at the Dark Forest, she saw Luke and his party in danger and immediately attacked .

Fire magic of 7th magic circle burst out at the feet of the fairies causing an explosion .

Dozens of warriors in the explosion screamed out in pain .

It wasn’t just the fairies and Nanas who were shocked with the situation .

Luke, who was in despair inside the cage, looked outside .

“An intruder! An intruder has appeared!”

Hyrun and the other fairies hurriedly looked around and tried to find the intruder .

However, they couldn’t find Erwin, who had used stealth magic right after deploying Fire Wall .

She made her appearance in front of Elder Nanas .

Erwin, who released her stealth magic, pointed her staff at Nanas’ heart .

“It has been a long time, Elder Nanas . ”

Nanas’ face hardened at the appearance of an unexpected character .

However, Luke smiled brightly .

He never knew that seeing Erwin would make him so happy . That too when everything around him was at stake .

“Put all your weapons down, or Nanas’s life is at stake!”

At the words of Erwin, Nanas could feel chills on her body .

“Erwin Lesa, are you going to forsake the fate of all fairies?”

“No, I am stopping you so that you won’t!”

Shooting back at Nanas, she one again yelled at the warriors who were holding onto their weapons .

“I asked you to put down your weapons . Do you want to see Nanas die? Go and put your weapons down and then release them!”

Sparks flew from Erwin’s staff .

It looked like something powerful would go through Nanas’ chest .

Nanas’ orders fell to Hyrun and the other fairies .

“Don’t mind me, shoot them . ”

“Elder Nanas, you really…”

“Even if I give up my life, I don’t plan on abandoning the revival of Abaron’s time . ”

Erwin shuddered at the words of Nanas .

She knew Nanas’ intent to revive the Mado Empire had turned into madness, but she didn’t assume the lady would turn crazy .

“Shoot! What are you doing! Shoot them right now!”

At the orders of Nanas, the warriors pointed at the iron bars once again .

Erwin used her staff to blow out the arrows .

The powerful sparks from the staff threw away the arrows coming in Luke’s direction .

Thanks to that, Luke and his party were able to overcome the crisis, but Erwin lost track of Nanas .

Even with Luke’s scream an Ice lance came at Erwin before she could react .

Nanas raised her hand to inflict more damage on the broken shoulder of Erwin .

“You know, Erwin . Did you really think that you can stop me with that kind of resolve?”

Titan Fist left the hands of Nanas .

Erwin, who got her sense back, tried to manifest shield magic in a hurry . However, she wasn’t able to stop the attack entirely .

Erwin rolled on the ground as she got hit by Nanas’ magic .

Luke looked at Erwin, who was in pain .

Erwin was coughing up blood, yet she smiled after seeing Luke .

“I guess you too can make that face for me . ”

He always had a cold expression in front of her .

It was only for a second, but for the first time, he showed warm feelings toward her .

“Hey! What are you doing? Stop!”

Luke, who was overwhelmed after seeing her coughing up blood, yelled at her, but Erwin had no intention to listen .

She focused all her energy on her staff despite the fact that her mana circles were damaged because of the attack she got earlier .

She clenched her fist and released her magic .

Luke shouted with the heatwave that came in to shake the cage . Everyone in the cage was on the floor .

Knowing that it was useless to hit it directly with magic, Erwin attempted to smash the iron bars with an indirect blow close to the griddle .

However, even after Erwin’s attack, the iron bar was fine .

The cage was made by the dwarves, and it was made to withstand any kind of impact .

If Erwin’s condition was normal, it might have been possible .

However in that situation, such an assumption was meaningless .

“Kugh! Kugh! I’m, I’m sorry . I seem to have failed…”

“Erwin! Look here, get yourself together!”

Erwin, who just released all her magic, lost consciousness and fell down .

The injuries and the Dark Forest’s influence allowed Luke to feel that the vitality of Erwin was depleting rapidly .

If she was left alone, she was done for .

The disciple of Erenes, the wise man, the one who was his comrade, would die .

A few strings inside Luke’s head, which were holding his logic and reasons, got cut .

Hwang Bo-sung mumbled in his native language without knowledge .

He had tried very hard to break the iron bars, but none of his martial skills worked .

He tried to summon his puppet .

However, that too didn’t work .

When an unexpected savior named Erwin made an appearance, he became hopeful, but he was in despair again after seeing Erwin fail .

No, it seemed like she was down in vain .

Luke’s eyes changed completely .
