Baaaaaang!!!

It was not easy for anyone present to respond to the mysterious being who had appeared with a loud roar. It was because the man’s presence had not triggered any of their senses.

In fact, Davey, Rinne, and Milpieu had not done much in this place. All they had done was touch, inspect, and investigate the mural, which smelled like blood according to Milpieu’s testimony, using Rinne’s power. No, perhaps it was because of Rinne’s actions that such a sequence of events had been triggered.

The purple-haired giant had appeared with a flash of bloody red light. He looked at Rinne and Milpieu, then immediately crouched down in preparation to charge forward.

Milpieu widened her eyes. She immediately jumped forward and pushed Rinne away. She screamed, “My research material!!!”

Thwaaaaaack!!!

The giant threw his fist forward swiftly, aiming for Rinne once again. However, he ended up hitting Milpieu instead.

“Kghhhhk!!!” Milpieu groaned.

Curled up into a ball due to the impact, she flew helplessly toward the walls. She did not even have the power to resist. Perhaps she had only been able to intercept the attack because of a sudden boost of power after seeing her precious research material in harm’s way?

It had been a very dangerous attack that not a single one of them had effectively reacted to. However, it was precisely because of that that Rinne’s life had been twice saved with the help of the others.

Of course, Milpieu was in a terrible condition after having thrown herself in harm’s way...
