The surrounding discussions continued, and Master Magaera was stunned, thinking he had heard something wrong. He regained consciousness the next second. "Are you certain you want to fight me?" he asked Darryl.
"Yes!" Darryl nodded firmly.
When he heard the reply, Master Magaera took a deep breath and smiled. "Okay, since you, the Royal Master, have said it, I will agree to your proposal. If I lose, I will leave. If I win, you'll have to hand that woman over to me."
After a few rounds with Darryl, Master Magaera was well aware of his power. Master Magaera would have had little chance of winning if Darryl was at his peak, but at the time, he clearly felt that the divine power in Darryl's body had not fully recovered. Under those conditions, Master Magaera was confident of his victory.
Darryl nodded and said to Chester, who was standing beside him, when Master Magaera agreed to his terms. "Brother Chester, all of you step aside. I'll go a few rounds with Magaera."
After that, he lowered his voice and told Debra, "During the fight, I will purposefully keep Magaera at a safe distance. When that time comes, you can take the opportunity to leave."
Darryl's eyes seemed complicated when he said that. Yes, he had no certainty of winning, but the arrow had to be shot when it was already loaded into the bow. Therefore, he devised the plan of luring Master Magaera away during the battle to give Debra the chance to escape. Even though it was a flawed plan, it was still preferable to Debra being apprehended.
Debra became nervous when she heard that. Her beautiful face was filled with worry as she clutched Darryl's arms. "Darryl, don't take risks. Otherwise, I'd better go with Magaera."
Darryl's strength had not recovered, so how could he defeat Master Magaera? It was too dangerous.
Darryl smiled and comforted her. "Don't worry, I'm the Royal Master, so even if I can't beat him, he will not dare to do anything to me." He did not forget to kiss Debra's forehead lightly.
