236 Tears

Naturally, the gallant young man standing in front of her was Randy, who couldn’t afford to watch it anymore and decided to intervene at this critical time.

Under the dazed gaze of the green-clothed young woman, Randy unhesitatingly swung his sword horizontally in a wide motion, drawing an arc of light in front of him.

In the next instant, the icy fog in the vicinity surged and all in his field of vision was covered in thick icy fog before revealing the masterpieces of various magical beasts’ ice sculptures in front of him.

All the magical beasts trying to pounce on the green-robed young woman froze in the air before dropping down with a ‘thud’ sound shortly after.

Without waiting for them to react to their states, Randy closed the distance and casually swung his sword once again without any energy, skill, or technique, simply an ordinary sword strike.

However, this sword strike was potent enough, as all the magical beasts were cut in half by his sword effortlessly.

This was because the Glacial Beast Sword had a sharp edge. It would make no sense if an S-Rank weapon had a dull blade in the first place.

The green-clothed young woman was dumbfounded by his casual display of walking and killing those ferocious magical beasts as if they were nothing.

However, to Randy, these magical beasts were indeed nothing to the current him.

.....

By his estimates, the strongest among them was only level 40. And although they had tough bodies, with just his sword, which was not only an S-Rank weapon but also had a sharpness to match, it was not a problem to instantly kill them off.

After Randy took care of the magical beasts in front of him, he turned around to face the green-clothed young woman.

He then opened his mouth, about to say something before quickly closing them with a slight frown on his face.

On the other hand, the green-clothed young woman still had a dazed expression on her face, as she still couldn’t process what was happening right in front of her very eyes.

One moment, she was on the verge of facing her inevitable end, and then, the next moment, someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere and came to her aim and they proceeded to save her from her dire situation, seemingly with barely much effort.

‘W-Who is this young man? I thought I was ready to die this time since my death has long since been overdue, and yet the gods still want me to survive this? For what reason? Why should I be the only one left behind in this treacherous world of ours?’

Unbeknownst to her, at this moment, she was shedding tears from the corner of her eyes and Randy happened to notice this, and that was why he didn’t say anything to her just yet.

He, who had no idea what she was thinking thought that something happened to her and said: “Why are you crying? Did you hurt yourself in your battle just now? I don’t recall you receiving any injuries, though.”

And he continued with a deep frown: “Or are you worried that I would steal your prey?”

Randy casually asked as he had no idea besides these reasons why someone like her would suddenly shed tears even though they were mercilessly massacring those magical beasts like there was no tomorrow before.

After all, she didn’t even cry when facing the frenzied magical beasts impending assaults just now, and yet after he had saved her, she started crying? Why was that?

“What?” The green-clothed young woman snapped out of her daze with a frozen expression.

She was immediately stunned by Randy’s sudden questions for a brief moment, as she didn’t know that she was crying at this moment.

The following moment, she unconsciously touched her face, and she was immediately embarrassed to find tears trickling down her cheeks. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

‘How could someone my age cry like a little girl?! How embarrassing!’ She screamed inwardly in disbelief and shame, as she hadn’t shed tears for a very long time.

She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and cheeks.

However, outwardly, besides wiping her tears, she did not react too much, as her expression still remained unchanged.

Instead, she put on an expressionless face as if nothing had happened just now and said in a somewhat stuttering voice: “D-Don’t worry about that. I would not hold it against you even if you took all the magical beast carcasses. After all, you did save my life just now.”

Her expressionless countenance and her spoken words that were said in a nervous tone created a very strange disharmony, which caused Randy to frown even further.

‘What’s wrong with her?’

However, Randy did not say anything and was about to nod when the green-clothed young woman spoke up again.

“Oh right. Thank you for coming to my aid even though this is our first time meeting each other.”

She smiled as she said this, her voice sounded very sincere and grateful, no longer nervous, almost as though she just regained her lost senses.

“...” Randy was truly confused by the changes in her demeanor, but he didn’t think too much and only nodded his head when he heard her words.

Then, he turned around and sucked in all the magical beast carcasses into his black spatial ring. Of course, he left behind the ones hunted by the green-clothed young woman.

The green-clothed young woman saw his actions and wanted to say something to him. However, before she could do so, Randy had already left the scene, as he pursued the remaining magical beasts that tried to run away after their comrades were mercilessly killed by him.

Even though the green-clothed was skilled and could kill a few magical beasts within a few seconds, she could not use an area of effect attack to freeze their movement as Randy did.

Therefore, the magical beasts were scared senseless by Randy’s strange sword attack that froze their comrades effortlessly, and in response, they immediately veered from their original course to escape his onslaught.

But sadly for them, they were unable to escape his clutches. This scene left the young woman dumbfounded with a dazed look on her beautiful face, as she watched him slay the surplus magical beasts with seemingly no effort in his path.

Before long, she came back to her senses when she could no longer see his figure, and she chased after her team members shortly after stowing away the remaining magical beast carcasses left behind by Randy. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

...

Meanwhile, Randy continued to chase after the fleeing magical beasts without stopping. Each time, he approached one, he would swing his sword and instantly kill them with one strike.

The reason for his efficiency in killing off the magical beasts had to do with observing the green-clothed young woman’s fighting style from earlier.

As he observed her battle against the magical beasts, Randy didn’t simply watch her without taking note of her actions, as he also observed her way of killing those magical beasts with relative ease, seemingly with no effort by striking specific parts of their body.

After all, although he could kill the magical beasts if he used his full strength, it was still a bit wasteful when compared with actual combat, where preserving his energy and retaining his peak state quickly was a must to avoid any ambushes.

Furthermore, he wasn’t in the state to waste too much energy carelessly, especially after encountering those demons a while ago.

Who’s to say that he wouldn’t encounter more of them in this forest?
