No way out

"Alright. Let's do as you want."

Let's call it a draw and retreat since no one will really gain anything out of this fight. 

Looking around, neither Zal nor Kieran opposed his decision even if they seemed unwilling to accept such a retreat. After all, they too could feel how strong their opponent was and how lacking they were in this situation. Despite being unwilling, both of them slowly withdrew their attacks upon Ian's words. 

Seeing this, a smile of satisfaction bloomed on the purple-haired man's face. Lowering his guard and canceling out his shield of Aether, Luscious stepped backward with his gaze still on the men blocking his way. 

"Alright then. See you later."

Since he was certain that he'd encounter this bluehead another time, he didn't have many regrets leaving him right now. Losing this town was disappointing, but there was nothing he could do about it right now. Staying here any longer would only put him in danger.
