"Stop there, you traitor!" One of the guards said.
"Get away from me!" Ike shouted back at them as he turned around, his sword to his left hand to his sword, and the other raised towards them.
Although, he felt unsuspectingly tired after doing that as if something drained his energy completely, but it was more unsuspected as one of thehell-hounds leaped in front of him to the guards. What he didn't know is that the hell-hound had been summoned at that instance.
For a moment, he was quite confused, but then he remembered; he was outside of the village. The protection didn't get far away. He took the at his advantage, slowly walking away. He wanted to run, but all his energy was gone and the mosthe could do is just walking rapidly. It took 20 meters before he collapsed on the ground, completely exhausted. At least, he was in the forest.
He slowly leaned back on a tree trunk, panting heavily to calm himself down. He didn't understand; who summoned that hell-hound? Why did he felt exhausted all of the sudden? Why the hell-hound didn't attack him first instead of the guards. He was weaker, so he would be easier to kill and get away.
Ike just didn’t understand at all.
