Chapter 372: Chapter 372 – Enemy

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Thinking to the changes in Karim, Mary could not help but sigh.

From what Mary remembered, those changes had happened suddenly, as if it was overnight.

There was definitely a deeper reason for those changes, but she was unable to investigate.

From that time onwards, Karim had become much more bloodthirsty, and would easily kill people, even entire families.

This made even Mary herself feel that she was in danger.

At a certain time, some people had laid their sights on her, wanting to capture her.

Mary did not know why this was, but she knew that if she fell into their hands, she would die a pitiful death.

As such, she had to fight.

Sitting in the carriage, Mary deeply breathed in.

Outside, Orimo continued to lead the entourage forwards, wanting to get closer to their destination.

They were getting closer and closer, but he felt more and more anxious, because he knew that as they advanced, they would be in more danger.

A few days passed quickly.

Perhaps it was because their luck was good, but no one caught up to them.

They spent those few days peacefully and gradually advanced.

This allowed Orimo and the others to breathe in relief.

“Looks like things are going smoothly…” HE thought to himself.

At that moment, a letter from Viscount Hatim arrived in response to Mary ‘s previous letter.

“Your esteemed Highness Mary, I was delighted to receive your letter and have sent people to welcome you. I am sure that by the time you receive this letter, my Knights will already be on the way and will be able to meet with you soon.

“I hope you enjoy your stay here.”

Looking at the ltter, Mary and Orimo let out sighs of relief and looked delighted.

“Viscount Hatim has agreed to my request and has sent his people…”

Within the carriage, Mary spoke, and felt that a large weight had been lifted off her heart.

For Viscount Hatim to be willing to receive her, that meant he was willing to protect them.

This was very good news to them.

“According to Viscount Hatim, he has sent his most powerful Knights, and should be very close to us by now…” Mary thought before saying.

“I understand.” Orimo nodded earnestly, “in the following days, I will send people to see if they can meet with the people sent by Viscount Hatim.”

“I’l be troubling you.” Mary nodded with a smile.

In order to avoid any pursuers, they had been taking small roads, so now they had to send out people to make sure that they did not miss each other.

Two days later, the two groups met.

On that day, Herdosiri led the guards to Mary.

“Your Highness, Sir Orimo…” Herdosiri’s expression was calm as he got off his horse and bowed, and Lamu did the same.

They came from nobility, and were different to those grassroots Knights.

Even though Herdosiri and Lamu’s actions were quite good, there did not seem to be any respect contained with them.

Orimo was not too pleased about this, and was about to say asomething, but was stopped by Mary.

They were the ones seeking refuge, so there was no need to argue about things like this.

Moreover, it made sense for themt o not show that much respect—after all, the one they served was Viscount Hatim.

Adding on the fact that they were Life Knights, this was not too surprising.

“Sir Herdosiri, Sir Lamu…” Looking at them, Mary smiled and said, “We meet again. Since last time, it ahs been many years.”

Back then, Chen Heng had been staying in Siriv’s manor, and Mary had gone to visit Chen Heng.

Back then, because of Herdosiri’s strength, Mary had wanted to recruit him, but had failed.

It had to be said that Mary’s charisma was quite exceptional, and with just a few words, she was able to make others feel amicable towards her.

This was why she was so renowned throughout the Kalo Kingdom.

“Your Highness, please come with us.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Lamu came up and said, “It is getting late. When it is night time, the wild beasts and Beastmen will appear.”

Even though most Beastmen tribes within the Hatim Territory had been cleared out, there were still some roaming Beastmen.

“I understand.” Hearing Lamu’s words, Mary smiled and nodded before turning to get on the carriage.

“Who is it!” As Mary turned, a shout sounded out.

Standing there, Herdosiri’s gaze became sharp as he looked in a certain direction and slashed out.

Dense life energy condensed and exploded out.

An explosion sounded out as a large rock was cut apart, revealing what was behind it.

Faint white life energy covered the surroundings, turning corporeal and covering that person’s body like armour.

This development stunned everyone.

“Turning life energy corporeal…” Lamu’s expression stiffened as he reached for his second, “Second Ring?”

For Sorcerers, the auras and mental ripples of different Rings differed, and there were also differences between Life Knights of different Rings.

A First Ring Life Knight could add their life energy to their weapon, while a Second Ring Life Knight could manifest their life energy and make it corporeal.

This was sometimes called Life Armour.

This was undoubtedly a Second Ring Life Knight.

“I was discovered…” That figure walked out and looked at Herdosiri in surprise, “How did you discover me?”

It was a valiant-looking young man who had thick golden hair. He held a massive sword and was covered by Life Armour.

“Looks like his senses are quite sharp…” Another voice sounded out.

Behind the young man, another figure slowly walked over.

This figure was very thin and was dressed in black robes.

He was an elder and had strange energy ripples around him, and his eyes were blood-red.

Before, he had been shrouded in darkness, making it so that no one detected him.

“There’s another one…”

Looking at the elder, Herdosiri and Lamu frowned, not knowing what to say.

“You were following behind us this whole time?” Orimo seemed tor ealise something and said.

Before, he had been feeling quite surprised—this journey had been too smooth, and there were not even traces of soldiers.

It seemed that it was not that they did not have any pursuers, but that their pursuers had been hidden behind them the whole time, but they ahnd not noticed them.

Thinking to there, Orimo and Mary’s expressions became quite grim.

For those people to have followed them for so long without them realising, this meant that they could have killed them at any moment.

Putting aside the elder, just the young man had Second Ring strength.

With such strength, he could have easily killed all of them.

“Did you finally realise?” The young man looked quite disdainful, “After secretly following you for so long, I had thought that we’d give you a surprise. Who would have thought you did not even discover our shadows. What trash.”

He then looked over at Herdosiri.

“This is a pleasant surprise though…” He slowly raised his massive sword and gave a bloodthirsty smile, “A true Knight? You look like a good opponent.”

“Since we’ve been discovered, let’s not waste time.” The black-robed elder said calmly, “Hurry up and get rid of them. Remember, the others don’t matter, but Princess Mary needs to stay alive.”

As he spoke, he l ooked at Mary with an excitement and fervent gaze, as if she was some kind of holy item.

Being stared at like this, Mary isntincitvely shuddered.

She had a feeling that if she fell into his hands, her outcome would be worse than death.

“Ha…” The young man chuckled as he walked forwards.

“Don’t you dare harmt he Princess!” Orimo roared and rushed forwards.

However, in response, the young man simply stepped forwards and slammed into Orimo, sending him flying.

The gap between them was simply too great.

In front of this Second Ring Knight, Orimo’s strength was nothing.

“Sir Orimo!” Seeing this, Mary’s expression fell, looking quite anxious.

“Do you really have time to be concerned about someone else?” A calm and teasing voice sounded out.

“You should be more worried about yourself.”

Following this, a big hand grabbed at Mary.

His actions were incredibly fast, and most of the others could not react in time.

Bang!

A soft sound rang out as a big hand grabbed the young man’s arm.

Sensing this, the young man looked over in surprise.

Herdosiri was standing there, looking at him coldly.

“If you want to harm Princess Mary, you’ll have to go through me first.”

“Interesting…” The young man smiled in amusement and put strength into his arm, trying to break fere.

However, things were not eas easy as he expected.

Despite using strength, Herdosiri’s hand did not budge at all.
