Intense battle in the temple

At the other side by the fire, the young scholar appeared to be stunned by the sudden upheaval. Although he still held a book in his hands, he gazed dumbstruck outside the temple doors.

Beside him, the little girl seemed to be quite fearless. Her tiny hands tightly clutched the young scholar's clothes, but her large eyes shone brightly as she stared at the actions of the Black Tiger Guards, showing not even a hint of fear.

The woman with a valiant air had grabbed the giant bow beside her the moment the disturbance began. Without saying a word, she fitted it with three dark arrows and emotionlessly fixed her gaze outside the temple.

Aside from the unexpected arrows that had come earlier, the outside of the temple was still and silent, with no sign of anyone appearing.
