Chapter 55

Raon crawled towards the direction the voice came from and raised his head.

Two bandits were standing guard over the bushes that were blocking his vision like a wall. They seemed to be joking around and giggling.

'Their skills are pretty bad.'

They were rather developed physically, but he couldn't feel any aura from them. They were low-class warriors that couldn't use mana.

He looked over them to see what was behind.

A big bandit was sitting on the other side of the two chattering bandits, and a child was tied to a tree.

Only wearing a thin clothing, the child's face and hands had turned red.

"Hie."

The child groaned, unable to withstand the cold, and the bandit next to him tapped his cheek. The touch was enough to make the child tremble and shrink away.

Tsk.

Raon frowned and clicked his tongue. Just as he'd expected on the way, the bandit was holding the child hostage.

They must've been planning to threaten their enemies by putting their sword to the child's neck.

'There should be a few more.'

They wouldn't have left the hostage where they stood guard if he was the only hostage. There were certainly going to be more hostages inside, where more bandits had gathered.

'What shall I do?'

If he tried to inform everyone and move together, the bandits would certainly realize something was going on.

It could be a better idea to save the hostages and assassinate the bandits now, since they hadn't been discovered yet.

'And I can't leave him like that.'

The child's lips were completely blue. He could end up dying from the cold if left alone.

"......"

Raon turned his head. Runaan's eyes were shivering, not knowing what to do after seeing the hostage.

"It will be alright."

Raon whispered, creating an energy barrier to avoid sound from going out.

"I have a way to solve this."

"A way?"

"But you have to help me."

"Mhm."

Runaan nodded, like she would do anything.

"On my signal, stand up to show yourself, then block sound using mana. Can you do it?"

"Mhm."

Without asking the reason or the method, Runaan simply nodded.
