Upon arriving at the elven village, perhaps the last thing they expected was the fact that it was being invaded by demons.
But if that fact alone was already strange, to Ryan it was even stranger that holy knights were also involved.
Were they defending the elves?
Or were they there for some other reason?
Whatever the reason, right now those holy knights were defeated, and those who were apparently alive lay in chains. Unable to move.
At least one thing was certain.
Those knights were not allied with the demons, nor were they being manipulated by them.
But Ryan had now decided to intervene.
Regardless of the motive, it was clear that he was now an enemy to both the holy knights and the demons.
So, the current objective in Ryan's mind was very clear.
Defend the elves.
"Beatrice, use stealth. I'll act as the bait," Ryan said as he moved forward and prepared his boomerang.
"Okay," she said without hesitating for a second, and she vanished without a trace.
