'Shit! Shit! Shittt!!!'

While cursing for his bad luck, Ren turning around slowly, but what greeted his sight make him nearly caught a heart attack. A pack of wolves numbering in ten revealed themselves eyed him viciously. 'O-okay, first keep your calm Ren. Maintain eye contact & back away slowly, I need to climb a tree to avoid their attack.'

Backing away carefully, he can feel his scalp turning numb. He can see them slowly trying to encircle him. Suddenly, one of the wolves jumped at him. 'What!?' sensing danger, he reflexively jumped to the side to avoid it, but his action resulted in a chain reaction that makes the other wolves ready to pounce at him.

"Ahh-ooooohhhhhh!!!!"

'Run!'

After stood up hurriedly, Ren is running frantically while being chased by a pack of wolves. While looking at the best path possible to obstruct his pursuer, he can feel his body working in overdrive. Shortly after he can hear some people shouting in rage. 'Is it that way? Ugh! No matter what I need some help.'

"Heeelp! Anyone, please help me-What!?"

But what greeted his sight make his body drenched in cold sweat. There is a battle. Tens of people wearing shabby clothes & holding weapons encircling luxurious horse carriages guarded by dozen of people wearing armor.

"Oi brat!! Are you looking to die!?"

"Wha-Be careful!! Looks behind him!!"

"Arrrgggghhh!!!"

Ren & the wolves joined the battlefield. Looking at the opportunity, the guards attacking fiercely killing the bandits faster than before. Turning the previous disadvantage into their favor. What happened next is chaos.

"Argghh!!! This damned dog!"

"Kill that brat !"

Some bandits began attacking him, cutting some wounds on his body. Some obstructed by the wolves & the guards, some tried to flee. Tried to dodge & defend himself, Ren picking a sword in the ground. Running & swinging madly, what he can perceive only dangerous alarm blaring on his head. Without thinking, Ren jumped to the side while rotating & slashing with all his might. Beheading a bandit that tried to stab him in the process.

Blanking for a second, he suppressed the urge to throw up. 'Don't stop!' that's the only thing on his mind, he knows that if he lagging even for a while, he would be done for.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of battle ceased. The number of corpses, broken weapons, & pool of blood tells how hard the battle was.

"Check how much our casualties, bring our comrade bodies back."

"Please bring the medicine, we need some aids here."

"Captain! The kid is still breathing."

"Hoo? Bring him here."

"Yes, Sir."

In front of him is an unconscious child covered with wounds & drenched in blood. In his hands are a crude spear that split in the middle.

"Treat his wounds & bring him with us." Suddenly an authoritative voice sounded from behind.

"My Lord. Are you sure? We don't know anything about him."

"No problem. I will take full responsibility. It's thanks to him we can solve the battle quickly with the least casualty."

"Then, I will keep an eye for him."

"Hmm, clean up quickly, we need to go back as fast as possible.

"Yes, My Lord."

After that, the group resumed their journey to the city.
