Varen and Root both looked like they were about to keel over. 

“Huff, huff,” Varen tried to calm his breath, his body shaking in anxiety. He thought of the woman that accompanied them, and the chef named Minhyuk sacrificing themselves just to protect him. The woman, Genie, was clearly someone strong, but she would not be able to deal with a lot of enemies alone. And there was Minhyuk…

‘No matter how strong he is…’

The man named Kohei looked like he possessed a very strong ability. Varen could not help but bite his lips hard in worry.

“Please don’t worry too much. Your Majesty.”

“...?”

“We, foreigners, are immortal. We can come back to life even if we die.”

“...Ah. That’s right!” Varen said, a small smile gracing his chapped lips. 

‘I will repay them and do anything I can do for them if I ever make out of this alive!’

At that moment…

“Your Majesty!” Root shouted, quickly flying to his side and protecting him as five arrows flew towards them. Root quickly whipped the dagger out of his waist and split the incoming arrows.

Slash!

Tak!

Bang!

However, one of the arrows flew towards Varen’s shoulders. Root hurriedly pulled Varen behind him.

Thud!

“Kgghk!”

“B, boy...!” Varen shouted. He felt distressed as soon as he saw Root groaning in pain. Root quickly snapped the arrow from his shoulders.

Spurt!

“Phew!”

Root...
