Chapter 712- No way of escape

"We can't all stay here and fight. If we do, our pursuers will catch up to us. I'll stay behind and hold off the monster while you two run ahead. I'll catch up with you soon," Marba said firmly, sacrificing herself to buy time for her companions.

Alvara was torn with emotion, biting her lip so hard that blood trickled out.  Nevertheless, she grabbed Cynthia and pressed ahead leaving her comrade behind to deal with the monster.

She was fully aware of what would happen if Marba a mage were to fight a monster without any frontliner that can protect her. However, she also knew what would happen if they were to stop here and engage the beast.

In the end, Alvara had no choice but to grab Cynthia's hand and flee with her highness, leaving Marba to face the beast alone. It was a difficult decision, but it was the only option to ensure their safety.

However… "No!! No more, I have lost enough people already" Cynthia broke away from her hold and refused to move.
