Of course, Raymond doesn't know what these stats mean, only that he feels very light and his senses are heightened.

The iron mace was as light as paper, so it must be very strong.

"Are you trying to rebel? Awww, that's cute."

White Sox twisted the corners of his mouth and drew his sword with a growl.

It was a short sword.

For the record, he, like Black, was an expert in the field of diplomacy and espionage.

However, he also possessed excellent sword skills.

He was a powerhouse on the verge of reaching Sword Expert, with skills as high as a Mana User.

With a skill level comparable to that of an advanced member of a small or medium-sized knighthood, he could easily take down an unskilled healer.

"I'll just take one of your arms for now, because it's up to His Highness to take your life."

Boom!

The short sword flew into Raymond's right hand.

Raymond screamed in terror.

"Argh! Help me!"

Elmud screamed in a torn voice.

"Healer, oh, no!"

'I'm a coward, letting my benefactor get like that!'

Elmud couldn't help but feel like crap. Raymond was his benefactor.

He came to the manor despite the risk of contagion to himself, and he saved the people who were like family from burning to death.

He's worthy of his life, but his cowardly nature puts him in danger.

But he can't bring himself to wield a sword.

More precisely, he was afraid to see blood on it.

'I thought I was over it. Fuck! I'm a piece of shit.'

Even in this situation, Raymond was still standing in his way.

He was telling him to run and stay alive because he would sacrifice himself to stop them.

Elmud was so ashamed and disgusted with himself that he couldn't stand it.

He wanted to die.

'No! I'd rather do it myself!'

It was at this moment that he vowed to throw himself out of the way and take the sword for himself.

Then it happened.

Wham!

Raymond had dodged White Sox's sword.

Lightly.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

"...?"

A moment of silence.

Everyone blinked in confusion.

Raymond had dodged the sword too easily.

White Sox blinked for a moment, then smirked.

"You're lucky. Let's see how long that will protect you."

He thrust his blade out again. It was a swift thrust, aimed for the shoulder.

But.

"Aagh!"

This time, Raymond screamed and dodged.
