Chapter 194: The Knight Hates Romance Events (6)
Ihan had long been aware that someone was watching him with malevolent intent.
Still, he had deliberately not captured the spy, suspecting that any overt recognition would scare him into fleeing.
‘Quite impressive.’
Ihan examined the muscles of the man who had emerged from the woods, now lying wounded from his axe. Just by looking at his muscles and skeletal structure, it was evident he was a formidable 'expert.'
Acting had paid off. Had he not pretended, the man would have surely escaped.
“That man is...!” “Do you know him?” “...He is a senior inquisitor who transferred to the [Paladin Order]. Sir Turner is a much greater expert than I am, but why would such a person be hiding? Moreover, how did you down him in one hit...?" “Now paladins are falling down too?”
Ihan pressed his foot down on what's-his-name, the paladin’s abdomen.
Crunch!
“Aaaaah!”
Indeed, a significant expert. Despite the axe wound piercing his stomach, he was still alive—a testament to his robust vitality. Ihan pressed down harder.
“Uuuugh! Stop, please stop...!”
As Turner regained consciousness, he pleaded, but Ihan was unresponsive.
