Chapter 127: Rescue

The sight of the blood-soaked hand instantly startled Nicholas William. He instinctively raised his staff, gathering magic energy at its tip.

"Look at you, getting all jumpy!"

Dean Bruce remarked nonchalantly. "There's a severely injured person inside. Pull him out and see what's going on."

"A person? Whew… As long as it's a person!" Nicholas William let out a sigh of relief. With Dean Bruce by his side, he had no reason to fear another human being.

Although he didn't release his gathered magic, Nicholas William didn't strike either. Instead, he cautiously tapped the bloody hand with his staff. Seeing that the hand still had feeling and could move slightly, Nicholas stepped forward and began pulling away the straw that covered it.

With the straw removed, a bloodied figure slumped to the ground, collapsing headfirst onto the cobblestone street.
