When the sword swung at the transparent shield protecting Ruela, it bounced off, and Baldur’s eyes widened as much as possible. As if forgetting that he was in the middle of a fight, he looked at Ruela with a puzzled expression and swung his sword at her again, asking,

“What is this?”

“A barrier. Give up; no matter how much you attack, it’s useless.”

“Is it magic?”

“Yes.”

She answered arrogantly with a self-confident expression, but Ruela’s gaze was focused on the remaining time of the barrier.

Whether the surprise faded or not, Baldur’s expression changed. As he felt him gathering all his strength, Ruela’s expression hardened.

Although the barrier lasted for a certain time, she became uneasy as it could be pierced or the duration shortened if it received damage beyond its endurance.

“Where!”

Before Baldur could strike with his sword, Kite’s full-force rush attack came in.

With that blow, this time, Baldur floated in the air and then crashed to the ground.

[/Party Ruela, behind me.]

Following Kite’s instructions, Ruela and Tien quickly moved to his back.

Mitchell and Raphael unleashed all their skills to attack Baldur before he could get up.

[/Party Tank-type warrior seems unusual. His blood doesn’t decrease much.]

In response to Mitchell’s words, Raphael added to the party window with a troubled expression.

[/Party It’s not that his attack power is weak either. Didn’t you see Kite knocked down in one go?] [/Party Although the attack speed isn’t fast, the problem is that he becomes completely defenseless in that one moment. The flow of the attack is interrupted for readjustment, making it easier for him, as an opponent, to exploit vulnerabilities. Therefore, it’s even more dangerous.]

Mitchell continued speaking without stopping the attack.

[/Party Everyone, step back. The warrior’s pushing skill deals more significant damage the closer the distance with the opponent. So, try to stay as far back as possible, spread out, and avoid getting close. Also, Hagen’s summon is waiting, ready to block in front when Baldur attacks.]

Following Kite’s instructions, everyone dispersed in all directions.

Shaking his head, Baldur, who got up from the ground, laughed as he saw their reactions.

“What’s this? Are you all scared, running away?”

Before his arrogant laughter could end, Kite rushed again, swinging his sword.

With significant power and high energy consumption, it was an attack skill that sent Baldur far back, making it a powerful assault.

Watching Baldur fall, Mitchell and Raphael attacked him, pouring out all their skills.

[/Party To be fair, it’s not an easy opponent. Take the potions out.] [/Party He’s not an enemy you can underestimate. Prepare for the next attack.]

Kite, watching Baldur, took out a yellow potion from his bag and consumed it rapidly.

As his energy filled up, he immediately swung his sword towards Baldur, who was trying to get up. However, Baldur was not an easy opponent.

After blocking Kite’s sword with his shield, Baldur kicked the ground, making Kite fall.
As the two tangled together, this side was in a situation where they couldn’t attack.

So, for a while, the others were stuck in a fight they couldn’t intervene in.

As a result, the visible consumption of Kite and Baldur’s health seemed somewhat equal.

However, that was only judging by the visible momentum.

Even if Baldur swung his sword, inflicting wounds on Kite’s face exposed through the helmet, piercing through the armor and causing sword wounds, Ruela’s consecutive heals promptly fixed it, rendering Baldur’s attacks useless energy expenditure.

On the contrary, Kite’s attacks were steadily dealing damage to Baldur. Moreover, considering the previous attacks from Mitchell and Raphael, Baldur’s wounds were continuously bleeding all over, making blood spurt incessantly.

[/Party Kite, try removing Baldur’s ring. When we took out the ring while fighting the knight Patako before, it became much easier to deal with him.]

Checking Baldur’s hand after Raphael’s words, Kite said,

[/Party It’s not there.] [/Party It’s not there? Shouldn’t he be wearing the royal family’s ring?] [/Party It might not be just that.]

Mitchell, watching the two converse, suggested,

[/Party Kite, let’s do as they say and pause the attack for a moment.]

Hearing that, when Kite momentarily stopped the attack, Baldur, still pinning Kite down, continued the assault.

[/Party Just keep blocking with the shield like that. Now that the attacking sight is on me, you can give it a try.]

Baldur’s health had dropped by more than half by now.

With Mitchell and Raphael continuously attacking, Baldur’s health bar approached zero.

[/Party Alright. If we keep attacking a little more, it should be done. Tien, you attack too.]

Following Mitchell’s instructions, the attacks from three people poured onto Baldur.

[/Party 2% left. Just a little more, hang in there.]

Mana-depleted Raphael, drinking mana recovery potion, said.

Again, Raphael joined the attack, and Baldur’s HP dropped to less than 1%, with the number starting to show.
