"So they don't want to hide anymore," Erella said with a serious face. She already felt them when their carriage was going back to Von Heinlein Duchy even though they were trying to hide their presence. But she just ignored them because they are not doing anything to them. Max's eyebrows were knitted together when he heard what Erella said.
'What? They don't want to hide anymore? Does it mean they were already following us from the beginning?' Max thought, feeling disappointed in himself because he didn't feel their presence.
'Damnit! I need to train hard more so I can protect Erella!' He murmured.
Max suddenly became vigilant when he felt a great deal of ominous mana outside their carriage. Then all of a sudden, Max held Erella in his arms and flew out of the carriage. When Max landed his feet on the ground the carriage was suddenly cut in half. A big bat monster threw a wind attack on their carriage and it cut into half.
