It was Pharaoh, also one of the Novem Stella Warriors.
Without a moment of hesitation, Nathan fled deeper into the forest.
Seeing that, Beerus launched into action, slashing his cross-shaped sword in the direction Nathan vanished.
Nathan, who was running, felt a sharp pain in his back. He was wounded by the attack, and blood flowed down his skin.
I can't keep battling. I'll definitely die if I
do that.
“He can't get away. The captain is already tracking him down. We'll be able to locate him in at most three hours,” Pharaoh informed Beerus in a foreign language.
After a moment of silence, Beerus suddenly glanced at the edge of the no man's land and said, “There's a foreign army approaching! Kill them all!”
On the edge of the forest was an army dressed in black special forces uniforms. They belonged to the Collins family.
The Collins family, one of the Ten Prestigious Families, had sent out their elites to rescue Nathan. The leader of the troop was Finnley Collins, an Octo Stella Warrior, and also Lana's elder brother.
The Collins family was weak and was in danger of being removed from their position as one of the Ten Prestigious Families. If it was not for Nathan and Finnley who guarded the northern border, their family would have fallen ten years ago.
That was why Nathan must not die.
Finnley led a troop consisting of three thousand and two hundred elites from the Collins family into the no man's land to rescue Nathan.
However, he felt as if he and his men were being targeted by a beast as soon as they entered the forest. When he looked up, he saw the moonlight shining on a man who stood on top of the tree, watching the former like a ghost.
It was Pharaoh, a Novem Stella Warrior.
Finnley immediately sensed something was amiss. If it were a different Novem Stella Warrior, Finnley might be able to negotiate. With Pharoah, Finnley would not even have the chance to do so.
Pharoah was a cruel, heartless, and bloodthirsty man who disregarded human lives. He was even in the top ten of the International Ranking of Assassins. Moreover, he was one of the figures on Yorksland's bounty list. His head alone was worth one hundred million.
