"All of you retreat!" the leader shouted. "Since you are powerful, I will give you the honor of fighting me."
He dismounted from his lion.
Aldred looked at the lion-man with a smile. He wasn't worried that he had to fight a muscular, lion-like man. He had fought countless monsters in his journey. Some were powerful, some were so cruel, and some were gigantic. Which one of them wasn't a creature that could shake an entire city?
Especially that Behemoth monster. Sadly that thing was a Platinum Rank so Aldred couldn't turn it into his undead.
"Do you want to fight me all by yourself?" Aldred asked with a mocking smile. He then summoned his Doom Blade, and a powerful aura burst out from his gear. It was two conflicting energies yet it mixed in harmony against one another.
When the cavalry leader saw Aldred's weapon that was emitting a powerful and sharp aura, his eyes widened in shock and a slight fear.
