Volume 7: Wonderful Escape Chapter 4

  At this time, Raymond had not yet recovered and could only barely stand up. The approaching Gru's tall figure cast a shadow on the ground, like the gradually approaching god of death, making Raymond feel a sense of despair.

  This guy in front of me is fundamentally an existence that cannot be resisted.

  This was a feeling he had never experienced before when facing Hakken's furious anger.

  Is it said that after coming to this continent with great difficulty, I will eventually die in this unknown place?

  "I'm...I'm sorry." At this time, Lona suddenly said beside her.

  Raymond only then discovered that this girl, who had always been silent and taciturn, with a face that rarely changed expression, was now shaking all over, tears streaming down her face. But these were not tears of remorse, rather the reaction of someone facing extreme fear, the despair that it produced.

  Lona's nearly out-of-control behavior was a testament to just how great of an impact Gru had on her.

  "Despicable!" Although Raymond also had the same despair, unlike Lona who hadn't experienced many things in life, Raymond had a strong will that was forged in the Beastman Empire.

  Amada: We never taught Raymond that waiting for death is an option. Our children must fight till the very end!

  It was this idea that allowed Raymond to fight from a discriminated beastman prince to this strange continent, and how could he possibly give up now?

  With a grit of his teeth, Raymond was about to make one last effort when suddenly his hand touched the pocket at his waist, where there was something round and bulging.

  That is...

  At this time, seeing Gru getting closer and closer to Raymond, Bastar was in a great hurry, almost regardless of everything, rushing towards Gru: "Don't you dare move my young master!"

  "Bastard, get out of the way!" Raymond suddenly stood up and pulled something out of his pocket.

  "What?!" Bastet was taken aback, and when she saw what Raymond had in his hand, she almost shrieked: "Meow?!" She quickly turned around and retreated, rolling and crawling backward to escape.

  At the same time, Raymond threw out what was in his hand.

  That was the strange round ball Elina sold to Raymond.

  "Down!" As he threw out the sphere, Raymond pressed down on Lona's head with one hand and pulled her down to the ground.

  The sphere was thrown under Geralt's feet, the silent swordsman paused for a moment, as if to see what Raymund had thrown over. But immediately after, there was a loud explosion, the sphere exploded, and at the same time a flame burst into the air, wrapping him in it instantly.

  As the explosion occurred, the steel balls in the sphere shot out in all directions with flames, like a fiery meteor in the night sky. Raymond, who was lying on the ground, felt a continuous whistling sound above his head, and the surrounding houses kept transmitting dull thuds as the steel balls pierced through the walls, causing chaos that couldn't be added to.

  It wasn't until a while later that the shooting steel balls finally stopped, the explosion was over, but where Gru had just stood was now shrouded in a large cloud of dust and smoke, with a big pit appearing on the ground around it, and flames still burning at the edges.

  "My goodness, what...what is that?" The girl in the distance, who had been knocked to the ground by the sudden explosion, stared at the scene with her eyes wide open.

  On this side, Raymond pulled up the frightened Lona and stood up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, fortunately using that thing in time, it was the second time he was saved by this thing tonight.

  This is probably the most worthwhile 10 gold coins I've spent in this lifetime.

  "What was that just now?"

  Facing Lona's questioning, Raymond hadn't had time to respond when suddenly a loud "meow" was heard and Bastet rushed over and pounced on Raymond, her long legs wrapped around his chest, hugging his neck and rubbing her cat face against him.

  "Master, are you alright?"

  His face was pinched between Catwoman's ample bosom, and Raimon's face turned black with rage: "If you don't let go now, I'll really be in trouble..."

  Bast just reluctantly jumped down, with a lingering fear on his face: "Just scared me to death."

  Although Bast's actions were exaggerated, they were filled with her kind of pure and unpretentious concern. Compared to the decent but hypocritical words and deeds of most people, it was even more precious.

  At this time, the girl also couldn't help but walk over: "Is... is he dead?"

  The intensity of the explosion is plain to see, even if Gru is strong, I'm afraid he can't withstand it.

  "I don't know." Raymond looked at the rolling dust and shook his head.

  "Even if I don't die, I probably won't be able to move anymore." He said so.

  Upon hearing this, both the young girl and Lona's eyes lit up with delight, as if they were deeply concerned about Gru's life or death.

  "By the way, what about that old man named Goodwin?" Raymond suddenly thought, wondering if the explosion had hurt him earlier.

  Lona was about to speak when Bascht suddenly pulled Raymond: "Young... young master."

  "What's wrong?" Raymond asked strangely, hearing that Bastet's tone was off.

  "You... look over there." Bast's hand trembled as he pointed at the center of that dust cloud, a rare fearful expression on his face.

  Raymond followed her finger and was also stunned.

  All I see is in the gradually thinning dust smoke, a tall and majestic figure stands among them, if it's not Gru, who is it?

  Lona and the girl also saw the situation in the dust smoke, and a look of fear appeared in both of their eyes.

  "How...how is it possible..."

  At this time, as the dust and smoke dissipated, Gru was seen standing steadily at the center of the explosion, with his hands crossed to protect his head and face. The ground beneath his feet was in disarray, with mud splattered everywhere from the blast, his armor was full of dents and embedded with steel balls that had been shot out, and that arm had more than a dozen small holes.

  Then, under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, Gulu slowly lowered his hands, revealing his scarred face and a pair of eyes that seemed to be emitting a fierce killing intent.

  In an instant, Raymond and the other three people only felt a chill rising from their spine, spreading throughout their body.

  As if the four people in front of him did not exist, Gulu lifted up his arm that was shot by steel balls, silently observed for a moment, and then suddenly clenched his fist with muscles tensed.

  Pffft... Suddenly, a series of sounds rang out, and the steel pellets that had been shot into his muscles were actually squeezed out by him, falling to the ground with blood beads.

  "A... fearful... weapon." Gru said in his characteristic low, stuttering tone.

  However, he became even more terrifying to the four of them. Not even such an explosion could kill him; the scene before their eyes was no less than a most terrible nightmare.

  "Master, I... let's run quickly." Bast said with a trembling voice.

  "Stop joking." Raymond spat and drew his sword: "It seems that this time it's really going to be bad."

  "Lona, I was really too naive." At this time, the girl stared blankly and said: "I actually thought of avenging my father alone, but this guy in front of me is simply a devil."

  Lona didn't say a word, she just held her sword horizontally in front of the girl, her eyes full of determination.

  At this tense moment, suddenly a footstep sound came from not far away, and many people shouted: "What's going on with the fire just now?" "Over there." "Go over and take a look."...

  At the same time, a large crowd of people can be seen rushing over here, apparently the city defense team was startled by the explosion.

  Gulu hesitated for a moment, then looked deeply at the four of them, just like a male lion staring at its prey. But in the end, he turned around and left with big strides.

  His footsteps were extremely fast, and in an instant he had walked into the shadow of the building across from him. Suddenly, an object was thrown out of the shadows, spinning through the air, and plunged into the ground - it was Godwin's magic sword.

  This sword, which is invaluable in the eyes of countless warriors, was discarded by Gru as if it were worthless.

  "My goodness..." Until Gru's tall figure disappeared into the darkness, the four of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

  "Am...are we saved?" The girl asked in a disbelieving tone.

  "All I can say is that we're really lucky."

  Facing such a terrifying monster and still being able to retreat unscathed, compared to that, Raymond felt that the previous attack at the inn was like child's play.

  At this time, the city defense team arrived upon hearing the noise. When they saw the chaotic scene before them, they were all stunned. A man who appeared to be an officer exclaimed, "Good heavens, what on earth has happened here?"

  "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Seeing the crowd, several city defense team members cautiously drew their weapons and surrounded them.

  "Lona." The girl winked at Lona.

  Lona nodded and turned to walk towards those city defense team members.

  The girl bowed deeply to Raymond: "Mr. Raymond, thanks to meeting you tonight, Lona and I didn't pay the price of our lives for our own foolishness, please accept my sincere gratitude."

  At this time, she was quite different from the fiery attitude when she first met Raymond, and it was clear that tonight's experience had given her a great shock.

  "Come on, this is my line of work."

  "Huh?" The girl was taken aback.

  "Don't you remember? I'm your mercenary, after all." Raymon squeezed his eyes shut and shook the gemstone ring that the girl had used as a down payment: "Just the down payment is this much, how can I not go all out?"

  Although she knew it wasn't the right time, the girl was still teased by Raymond's intentional words and couldn't help but giggle: "Hehe, you're really something... But this is truly the most worthwhile money I've ever spent."

  "Meow, Master almost didn't make it, so let's get our commission paid in full!" Bast shouted from the side.

  "Shut up." Raymond knocked on the cat girl's head with a bad tone, and then said: "Right, I haven't asked your name yet."

  "My name is Sora...Soya." The girl said hesitantly.

  At this time, it is unknown what Lona showed to the officer of the city defense team. The officer's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees and kept nodding and bowing to her.

  Raymond had a hunch that this girl named Soya was no ordinary person.
