Denarua leapt into the air, preparing to charge directly at Lucy.

His twin swords gleamed as they appeared, but before he could close the distance, he had to deflect a sudden arrow.

Clang!

“You’re not getting to her that easily!” Nydrian shouted.

“Hmph.”

Unable to get close to Lucy, Denarua swiftly shifted his focus to the archer.

He knew that leaving a sniper unchecked could introduce unpredictable variables, so he decided to eliminate him quickly.@@novelbin@@

“Going straight for the archer? You're simpler than I thought,” a voice mocked from behind him.

“…?!”

Rabin, who had blended seamlessly into the shadows, emerged from behind Denarua.

He spun around, slashing and thrusting with his twin blades, but Rabin, also a dual-wielding fighter, managed to block the attacks despite being forced back by Denarua’s strength.

“Bye-bye~.”

“You wretched...!”

The thief vanished again, her presence disappearing entirely, leaving Denarua seething in frustration. At that moment, more of Nydrian's arrows came flying toward him, each imbued with magic, the sound of them slicing through the air filled with raw power.

“Here I am~.”

“Damn pests!”

Whenever Denarua dodged or deflected an arrow, Rabin would reappear, attack briefly, and disappear again. When he tried to focus on finding the thief, the archer would fire another shot, and when he focused on the archer, Rabin would strike.

The brief time they had fought together in the jungle had already shown that Rabin and Nydrian made a formidable team.

Whenever Denarua got close to Nydrian, Rabin would attack, and the archer would gain distance again.

Meanwhile, Lucy was steadily gathering red-gold energy into her sword, preparing for a powerful strike with the Abyss.

“Damn it!” Denarua cursed, growing impatient as he charged once more toward Lucy.
