Sanctuary Contender?

 "Captain Auron, you're a stage-six contender as well as the strongest contender here. Take Kevin and leave. He's our only hope. You must teach him well…"

Mia waved her hand. Captain Auron gritted his teeth and ignored Kevin's struggles when he picked Kevin up with one hand. He bowed to Mia respectfully and turned away immediately, escaping with Kevin alone.

Without Auron, who was their only stage-six contender, the troops would find it even harder to defeat the ferocious beasts. Nonetheless, some kind of preparations must still be made.

"All knights, form ranks. Arms at the ready. Pledge your life!"

"Pledge our lives!"

There was not a trace of fear in the eyes of these knights. They were all elite knights who had fought barbarians and fierce beasts many times. They would not take a single step back for their honor as knights.

Rumble…
