A mont ago.
Noel had instructed Jonathan to carry everything with his telekinesis. It was hard work for him, but because Noel was worried about the situation, he had to do it.
While they were being transported by Jonathan, Noel pointed to the side and said to Zion, "If you go there, you will find a small area filled with trees. I want you to make a fake trail to fool the enemy who goes there."
"Hmm? We have a spare wheel…" Zion furrowed his eyebrows and understood what Noel wanted. "I see. So, you want to drag them away from the rest?"
"Yeah. The trail doesn't have to go that far, but it should still follow the path. You should be able to handle it, right?"
"Yeah. Leave it to ." Zion nodded with a serious expression. He glanced at Paul. "If I jump with all my strength, the carriage will be destroyed. I don't want to leave any trail either. So, mind giving a boost?"
Paul agreed without hesitation, considering he was one of the few that knew about Noel's plans. He raised his hamr as Zion stepped on it with that huge body.
However, Paul used his Spiritual Energy to boost his own strength so that he was strong enough to lift Zion.
With all that strength, he swung his hamr, launching Zion into the air.
By the ti he landed, he should be far enough that his trail wouldn't easily be seen.
As a master of jumping, it wouldn't be hard for Zion to cover a great amount of distance in a single leap. In addition, he could easily adjust his step to match the foothold, allowing him to easily jump from one tree to another. This way, there was hardly any trace to find.
Since the other path had been taken care of, Noel could finally focus on this path. He turned to everyone while putting his hand in his pocket. He said, "There might be so people who pursue us, most likely from the Supre Devil Organization. I want to either fight them or run away from them, depending on our enemies.
"I have discussed it with Paul, but this is the only plan that can give us the highest chance to survive. And I think I should apologize to all of you for two reasons. First, their target might be . Second, I have miscalculated their strength."
"Hmm?" Stella frowned when she heard the first reason. She couldn't help but add, "Well, we don't know why the Supre Devil Organization is targeting you, but the attack before our vacation… their target should be us, right? In that case, you are not entirely at fault. Even if you are not here, they will co to us. So, you don't have to take the bla."
Paul smiled. He had the sa opinion when Noel discussed it with him. And it seed that the rest had accepted it as well.
Without Noel, they would die on multiple occasions, so they thought it wouldn't be strange if Noel wasn't targeted.
In the end, they focused on the second reason. From how he told them, the enemies might be stronger than he expected.
pαndα---noνɐ1,сoМ But before they could go into detail, a shadow suddenly jumped toward them from the side as if he had been tailing them this whole ti.
"Who?!" The rest of the group imdiately raised their weapons, trying to stop this person as if he was an enemy. But Noel imdiately stopped them, "Wait. He is an ally."
The guy landed on top of the carriage softly. He wore a simple brown shirt and long black pants. His face was covered with a shawl and the only thing they could see was the sword on his waist as well as the pair of blue eyes.
He was none other than Damian, the vice commander of the Greenwood Kingdom's royal army.
He told Noel about their situation. "There are three Spirit Grandmasters coming to this place. I can't get a good grasp on their true strength, but from a glance, one of them should be similar to this big guy, while the other two have a slightly higher power. What do you want to do?"
"!!!" Paul and the others were shocked by his arrival. They never thought that Noel had this powerful ally. The rest might not be able to grasp Damian's strength, but Paul, another Spirit Grandmaster, could sense how powerful he was.
"Three Spirit Grandmasters…" Noel looked down, falling into deep thought. Their strength is still too big, but I guess it's better than nothing. We will set up an ambush. If we can kill at least one of them, it would be good. If we can't, then giving a heavy injury to so of them wouldn't be that bad."
"You should rember our agreent."
"Of course." Noel nodded with a serious expression. "If you can kill one or severely injure two or three of them, I'm willing to give you half of the concept of the movent. If you can kill two of them, I will add five runes with that concept."
"We have a deal." Damian accepted it without hesitation. "Looking at how you are this sneaky, it seems that you have a plan already."
"Yeah…" Noel fell silent for a mont before beginning to explain his entire plan. Damian also listened to Noel since it was a good ti to asure Noel's ability.
…
anwhile, Hailfa, Gargan, and Fil had gone for about fifteen minutes, still waiting for any trace.
However, Hailfa seed to notice there were so weird spots on the grass not far from them as if soone had just used their power around it.
"Wait!" Hailfa stopped while turning around, trying to look at the spot. "I seem to have found their trail."
"Hmm?" Gargan and Fil frowned, wondering what she found. They were a bit surprised that there was a circle where the grass seed to fall down. It seed that soone used their Spiritual Energy here and blew these grasses off.
"It seems that we have hit the jackpot." Gargan smirked, feeling fired up.
Hailfa was worried about sothing. "Wait a minute… Sothing's not right… It's true that the telekinesis user might be tired, but there doesn't seem to be any other trace… is this a tr—!"
