Carlos teleported while Ru was glaring at him, and she fell backward.

‘What was the attack spell that achieves great effects with little power?’

The self-destruct spell was ineffective. There was no time. Ru didn’t even notice that she had fallen and sat on Carlos while struggling to quickly turn her head.

While pressing on his throat to strangle him, she didn’t even pay attention to the fact that she was looking at the world with the stupidest expression, where he was the most foolish one.

She was a woman with bright eyes. Only then did Carlos Arthur Ingram realize why he didn’t kill this woman, why he let her go despite her rebellious actions and betrayal.
Lustica Genesis was worth keeping alive with talent alone. And just the sight before him was enough reason to keep her by his side. Yes, let’s keep her by my side.

The moment Carlos made up his mind, he had to stop Ru first. She intended to use magic to attack him as a price for her left hand flying away. It was unacceptable for the woman he had to admire to be damaged.

“Stop…!”

Carlos, who had grabbed Ru’s left wrist just before she flew away, stopped speaking and hastily released her wrist.

‘Dare?’

A force, far beyond Ru’s feeble strength, pushed him away. Fiery heat covered the palm that had gripped her wrist.

‘Dare, what on earth is this saying?’ It wasn’t Ru’s feeble power but the power of another being.

When Carlos was mangling his beautiful face, once again a strong force pushed him away. Due to the recoil that pushed him away, Ru actually floated in the air.

‘What is that… no, wait.’

The pearl bracelet hanging on Ru’s left arm looked familiar. Especially the emerald decorating its center was recognizable. Familiar, but it growled fiercely towards him.

Could it be? Carlos immediately tried to grab her again. However, once again, her pearl earring glittered and knocked him away.

Bang!

Strong forces collided, and as a result, Ru was thrown backward. If she floated backward in midair, it would be a direct collision of the back of her head and the ground. Rather than dying by killing Carlos and dying, Ru, who didn’t want to die like that, tried to twist her body.

“Ru, are you okay?”

But before she could do that, a strong arm hugged her from behind. Unlike Carlos’s cold and uncomfortable hand, it was a welcoming arm that she wanted to get into quickly. As she realized that, Ru closed her eyes tightly.

So, it ended up here. The heart that had been arrogant, thinking it could deny with words and organize, had come this far.

“I’m sorry; I promised to protect you.”

There was no such promise. It was just a plan to cut Carlos’s throat as Ru’s payment in her memory. However, the man who firmly held her and simultaneously attacked Carlos confidently stated as if he had made such a promise.

“I promised to protect you, I’m sorry.”

Without even realizing it, Hayden gently patted her stiffened shoulders due to tension. He quietly let Ru down.

“Just wait for a moment.”

Emerald green and white were tangled chaotically. In the sudden surprise and shock, while Carlos momentarily lost his composure, Hayden did not hesitate and reached into the entangled power.
He didn’t even bat an eyelash, even though it’s something wizards repeatedly warn against doing because the entire hand could be torn apart. He used his strength to press down on Carlos and, grabbing his jaw with his hand, threw a punch.

The sound of colliding energies and the physical impact creating noise were qualitatively different.

With a popping sound, Ru’s mouth fell open at the jaw-piercing sound. It went in properly. While fighting with a sword and casting spells was familiar, it was almost unheard of to throw raw punches like that.

However, Hayden punched Carlos’s jaw with his fist. It would be a tremendous shock for Carlos, who, except for the actors who pretend to fight, had never experienced physical contact with others in his life.

“Do you still not understand the situation? You’re carrying around a useless brain.”

Hayden swept Carlos away, who was shocked into unconsciousness. Honestly, Hayden wanted to pull out more teeth like ripe corn kernels in late summer, but Ru, who was watching from behind, caught him.

You can’t look like a punk beating up your first love. Besides, at least one tooth must have been pulled out already.

So, Hayden decided to stop right here. If this guy got hurt, it would be a big blow to Ru.

A bastard like a parasite entwined around Ru’s heart, brain, and spine. No, even worse than a dog and not even as good as a bug.

“Shut up and sit still. You’ll have to pay for what you’ve done. Besides that, there’s no other choice, do you really need me to spell it out so kindly?”

Carlos was not such a weakling.
