Chapter 68: Role
Abel was breathing restlessly as he was brought to safety by the stranger.
Even though he was merely carried around, he was breathless because of everything that had been happening.
The sudden appearance of the demon was followed by a wave of demonic beasts that appeared out of nowhere, crushing soldiers.

Elowen has somehow regained a fragment of her composure as she turned her eyes toward the boy, "You can put me down now. I don’t need your support anymore." Her voice was shaky, but being so closely connected to a stranger, a man no less, felt repulsive.

She was about to fall on her knees when suddenly, the stranger pulled her back into his arms.

With a serious frown, he said, "I will go and bring help."
