Are We at a Dead End Already?

Crack, crack, whoosh, whoosh.

In the mountainous forest, one man and one woman flew by, one after another.

It was Kanorse and Annie who had just left the fortress. They'd already run more than ten miles and were panting for breath, but they didn't dare slow down.

"Hurry, Annie. They're catching up!" Kanorse urged from the front. He was a Level-9 Warrior and was much stronger than Annie, a Level-7 Assassin. He was in better shape.

However, he was totally out of breath too. When they faced those scouts from the MI3 earlier, he'd blocked almost all of the arrows. At the last moment, he even activated Battle Aura to escape with Annie. This used up a lot of his energy.

Annie didn't speak. She maintained her breathing pattern and sped up slightly.
