Selon quickly found himself in retreat, losing strength with each passing moment.
Seeing an opportunity, the martial art expert raised his dagger and thrust it toward Selon's chest.
Tm so screwed.'
Just as Selon resigned himself to his fate, a slender hand reached out from nowhere and deflected the
attack.
Selon turned his head, only to see a stranger's face.
"Are you okay?" the stranger asked.
The voice was familiar enough for him to recognize.
"Alkaid!" he cried out, both shocked and relieved.
"Yeah, it's me," she replied.
It was indeed Alkaid in disguise.
Relieved to see her safe, Selon said quickly, "I'm fine."
Alkaid hummed, but the expert charged up once again.
"Be careful!" Selon shouted.
Alkaid’s expression turned serious as she engaged the attacker.Although she was not as strong as Chester or Blackrose,
she faced off her opponent head-on.
Selon watched the close fight, worried about her safety.
The martial art expert, aware of his disadvantage, put up his fist and tried to fight against Alkaid with a
sinister look on his face.
She raised her hand in a subconscious attempt to parry his attack, yet the expert quickly raised his
hand holding the dagger.
'Shit!'
Alkaid tried to dodge, but it was too late. The blade sliced her arm, and blood poured out of the wound,
staining her white sleeve red.
"Alkaid!" Selon cried out, his heart pounding.
Instinctively, he intended to rush to her aid, but Alkaid shouted, "Don't come over!"
Selon stopped in his tracks, his hands trembling at his sides.
The martial art expert seized the opportunity to push his advantage, his moves growing ever more
vicious as he attempted to take Alkaid’s life.
Despite her injury, Alkaid continued to fight back, retreating and dodging as necessary.
Blood dripped from her fingers and fell to the ground.
Pain hit Alkaid in waves, causing her face to turn pale and her forehead to be covered with sweat.If this continued, she would surely lose to the opponent.
And Selon would be killed.
When she thought of this, she gritted her teeth and pulled out a hidden weapon from her pocket,
throwing it at the opponent.
The weapon glinted in the air.
The opponent instinctively dodged to the side.
Taking her chance, Alkaid turned on her heel, ran toward Selon, and pulled him along. "Let's go. I'll
protect you and get us out of here."
Selon nodded. "Okay."
The two of them quickly ran toward the exit.
"Your arm..." Selon frowned as he saw the blood trickling down the wound on her arm.
If it weren't for protecting him, she wouldn't have been injured.
She was a girl, and such a deep wound could leave a scar.
Unaware of his thoughts, Alkaid glanced at her injured arm and spoke nonchalantly. "It's nothing."
Selon wanted to say more, but the martial art expert had caught up with them.
Just then, the black-clad man arrived, blocking the attacker, and shouted to them, "Go! We got it from
here."
With the black-clad man covering them, Alkaid led Selon to run even faster.As they got closer and closer to the exit, a dozen people from the base appeared out of nowhere.
