Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:

Haldin and the knights, who were scanning the area, seemed not to have discovered it yet.

“Hald—”

But before calling him, a massive hand appeared and attacked both of them.

Crash!

With a deafening noise, the trees shattered, and the snow piled on top of them scattered like a snowstorm, obscuring their vision.

“Blair!”

As Blair regained her senses, Haldin, who was examining her complexion with a worried expression, appeared first.

Just before the attack, Haldin had noticed and pulled Blair to the ground in the nick of time. The horse didn’t seem to have fled.

“Your Highness! My Lady!”

Through the swirling snowstorm, the voices of the knights faintly reached their ears.

Blair, who had barely regained her composure, first checked the fawn she had been holding in her arms. Perhaps instinctively protecting the baby, she cradled it with both hands, and the fawn was unharmed.

“Can you stand?”

Haldin asked. Instead of answering, Blair exerted strength in her body. Haldin, whose strength was waning, lifted her up.

Meanwhile, as the snow settled and their blurry vision gradually cleared, a cyclops revealed itself beyond. It was a cyclops, a humanoid monster with a giant eye.

Blair, whose eyes met the giant eye between the trees, froze in place. The cyclops, having spotted them, reached out to attack them.

Sensing it, Haldin reinforced his body with aura and held Blair, swiftly dodging the attack. His agility surpassed that of a human by far.

At that moment, the knights who had found the two attacked the cyclops with their bows.

The sound of arrows flying through the air in succession echoed. However, the cyclops could only be momentarily distracted, unable to inflict a significant blow.

Haldin joined the knights in the gap. The knight commander rushed to Haldin and Blair.

“Your Highness! My Lady! Are you alright?”

“Thankfully. Kyle, take the Lady and leave the forest with the first group. The second group will stay with me to block the mammoth.”

“Yes, sir.”

The knight commander hurried away to deliver the lord’s orders to the subordinates.

Haldin removed his cloak and put it on Blair.

“Please take care of this for a moment.”

Blair stared at him blankly, not knowing what to say. There was no fear in his face. In battles, he had spent his time at the forefront, and in the north where mammoths roamed freely, such a reaction might be natural.

But Blair was different.

‘If things proceed as they did in the past, Haldin shouldn’t be in danger…’

The monstrous creature in front of her was still terrifying, and she feared that he might get hurt. She was consumed by the fear that even though he knew a safe future, there was still a possibility.

Blair instinctively grabbed Haldin’s arm, who was about to approach the cyclops, without knowing what to say or how to articulate her thoughts.

She could only look at him.

Alternating between her hand holding onto him and Blair’s frightened face, Haldin grinned.

“Do you think I’m going to die?”

Haldin then approached the cyclops whose arm had been grabbed by Blair. His body and sword were enveloped in blue aura.

“Madam, you must leave.”

The knight commander urged Blair, who was staring blankly, knowing that staying here would only be a burden, not help. But she couldn’t bring herself to move.

Haldin leaped high up along the cyclops’s arm and then used mana to attempt a chained spell. He realized that his body felt different than usual in that moment.

The sword energy he had sent towards the cyclops’s neck was blocked by the cyclops’s hand. If it had been his usual self, the attack would have severed the hand and sliced the throat.

‘My mana…’
Here is the English translation of the Korean paragraph:

The amount of mana available for use was significantly lower than usual. Despite having much more mana than others, his miscalculations had created flaws in his tactics.

“Kwaaaah!”

The cyclops, with a large wound on its hand, angrily swung its hand towards Haldin.

Haldin was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected situation but quickly dodged. He regained his composure and devised the next plan.

He swiftly dove under the rampaging cyclops and slashed its leg. This was to prevent the cyclops from escaping and causing further damage.

“Next, the arm.”

Having already made a deep cut on the right arm instead of the neck earlier, he now aimed for the left arm.

However, when he attempted to cut the cyclops’s left arm, the injured right arm grabbed him. Tremendous pressure crushed his body.

“Haldin…!”

Blair, who had been about to leave with the knight commander, saw this and shouted.

At that moment, a crimson magic circle appeared between Blair’s neck and collarbone. Simultaneously, a fleeting memory passed through Haldin’s mind.

The image of Blair, heavily pregnant, looking at him with tearful eyes.

‘What is this…?’

Haldin questioned the sudden recollection. He felt that the mana he had been lacking a while ago was now filling him. Haldin didn’t miss this opportunity.
