Departure

Just when they thought that their leader would probably select someone as bait, the leader suddenly motioned for everyone to be quiet.

''Can you feel it?'', the leader asked nervously.

Two voices spoke out in unison, ''What?'', while copying the leader to stay still and tried to feel something.

But none of them could feel anything.

Just as the leader thought that it was his misconception, a timid voice spoke out, ''I don't feel anything but my instincts are screaming for danger''.

This was the same young man, who was thinking of colluding and killing the leader. Because he knew that he was the weakest one in their group and would be the first to be abandoned during a dangerous situation.

But being weak, had its advantages, his instincts were sharper than anyone else. Just like a weak beast has an animal intuition, his intuition is also like this.

He didn't want to reveal his advantage so soon. It has only been six months since he joined this group. Two other people joined this mercenary group with him, and he had a very good relationship with them.

This time, both of them looked at him in surprise after he spoke. He gestured towards them helplessly. He moved his lips silently and spoke something.

Both of them looked towards each other and nodded in unison towards the timid man.

Don't look at his cowardly appearance. This person has led them to escape danger many times before. They won't easily betray him unless he comes between their paths.

These both, although twins, looked exceptionally different from each other. So much, so that no one knew they were twins, not even the timid man.

They had a cooperative relationship with each other and have cooperated many times in the past.

Leaving everything aside, let's focus on the current situation.

A bold voice sounded, and the leader almost jumped in fright, ''Boss what can you feel!''

The leader gave the bold man a hard look, but still explained in a whisper, ''It feels as if there is a cold gaze looking at us with a strong killing intent''.

The low voice almost gave them chills, but after listening to his words, they were able to feel the killing intent. It seems the thing or person didn't want to hide his/her killing intentions anymore.

...

Meanwhile, just one kilometer away from them, there was a departure going on.

After having the food, Esha was getting worried as time passed by, so she decided to go back to her kingdom while taking a look at the malicious-intentioned people on her way.

No matter what, this person was her savior after all. She has not paid her life-saving grace yet, so how can she let him be in danger? 

She did not doubt at all how Stefan, despite being a low-ranked magician, could save her. Furthermore, she knew that the less she tried to investigate, the better she would live to be.

Even after seeing all the strange things and the strange furnishing of the house, she did not speak out a word.

Stefan although surprised was keenly aware of her worry. He knew that the situation could only be related to the herb, as just after getting it, she planned to go back.

....

After Stefan confirmed that there was no one around five hundred meters of the house, only then did he disabled the invisibility function.

Esha came out after Stefan opened the door for her and stopped just before taking the second step.

She turned towards Stefan and said almost like an oath, ''I will return and pay back this life-saving grace one day. It may take years to fulfill this promise, but as an Elf Princess, I will surely come and fulfill one of the most precious wish of yours. No matter the time or place, you will get blessed when you encounter a life-threatening situation'', a mark appeared on her brows and flew out towards Stefan's brows.

Stefan closed his eyes subconsciously. After some time, a green light flashed in his eyes when he opened them again and looked around him, but Esha was not there anymore.

It was empty....

Stefan's intuition told him that this blessing will come handy in the future. 

....

''Humph!'', a majestic voice sounded.

Just when the leader thought, they should continue the search, a voice was heard and his ears felt a sharp pain. 

He covered his ears in pain and shouted in agony. After he looked at his hands, he realized that it was covered with blood. He blankly looked around him, only to find that everyone's condition was not much better than his.

The weakest ones were even more miserable. Blood was coming out of their nose and mouth. They covered their ears and hid behind a tree, but the pain could not stop for a long time. It was ringing in their ears continuously.

At this moment, the timid man's intuition gave him a strong warning to Run! Run as far you can!!! Don't look back at all!!!!!!   

It was not the first time the timid man experienced this kind of incident. It was when his instincts were at its peak when encountering an extremely unstoppable situation.

He reacted quickly and shouted towards the twins in a code language, ''Corrida!!''

The twins, although still in pain, supported each other and started running fast. They knew this code word very well. It was when the situation was extremely unstoppable and would threaten their lives. They had to get away from here as far as they can.

.....

Not even two minutes passed since they ran, they heard a series of painful screams. After hearing the screams, they ran faster and faster, after all their life depended on it.

....

After the trio left, a majestic suppression appeared, rendering everyone standing there immobile.

''What is this...'', the leader asked in a difficult tone. He has never experienced this type of pressure ever in his smooth sailing life. It was almost as if that existence wanted to kill them, without giving them any chance for resistance.

Being 'his' disciple, everyone feared his existence. No matter how powerful they were, they would suppress their power in order to give some face to his master.

...

The system dictionary wants to explain something to readers!!

''Corrida'' means run in Brazilian Portuguese. It was used by the timid man only when the situation was desperate....
