Both life-saving tokens were glowing as layers of shield protected the two of them. It was only then the two men felt a little safer.
Alas, before they could sigh in relief, they realized that the life-saving token's shields were shattering like glass under the attacks of the flying swords.
The two men were dumbstruck. The life-saving token was their final trick up their sleeve, and yet, it was as flimsy as a piece of wet paper against Jared.
“Argh!”
Francois' other arm was chopped off as he sustained multiple slashes on his legs. With a loud thump, he fell to his knees.
A similar outcome happened to Sigurd. His limbs were all chopped off, and he was covered in his own blood.
In a flash, Jared disappeared and reappeared above the two of them, watching them from the top as if he was an immortal watching the mortals.
Francois and Sigurd had to tilt their head back to look at Jared. By then, there was no more fear left in their eyes. All they wished was for a quick death.
“Who in the world are you? Kill us if you dare. My master will avenge us,” Sigurd said to Jared.
On the other hand, Francois was silent, his gaze unfocused. He always thought that Jared was merely a country bumpkin, but he later realized that Jared was far more powerful than he imagined and guessed that Jared was a son from a prestigious family. However, after how Jared easily rendered them immobile, he could no longer wrap his mind around Jared's identity.
Jared did not answer Sigurd. Instead, he grabbed the two of them and dragged them back to Rock Village.
Jared was not going to kill them; he was going to let the people from Rock Village kill them to alleviate their hatred toward them instead.
When Percy and the others saw Jared towing Sigurd and Francois back, they cheered.
“Jared, are you okay?” both Percy and Emily asked in concern.
“How can I not be? Don't worry.” Jared gave them a faint smile before turning to Antonio. “Mr. Antonio, I've brought back the two culprits. I'll leave them both to you all now.”
