Volume 7: Wonderful Escape Chapter 3: Joining the Battle

  At this time, Gru held his sword and slowly walked towards Godwin, apparently intending to give him the final blow. Faced with the giant who was walking step by step towards himself, Godwin seemed to have lost all his courage, and did not even have a hint of intention to dodge.

  As he walked up to Goodwin, Gru stood tall and raised his sword, just as a shadow slowly enveloped the old man.

  Goodwin closed his eyes and waited for death.

  At the critical moment, Lona, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly drew her sword and rushed out, as if she had reached her limit of patience.

  Because her movements were too sudden, by the time Raymond reacted, she had already rushed into the field.

  "Monster, die!" With a clear and loud shout, Lona rushed up from behind and stabbed the sword straight into Gru's neck.

  Ge Lu turned around and with a casual swing of his sword, he parried Lona's attack and sent her flying several meters away. Looking at this sudden appearance of the girl, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

  On the other side, Lona suddenly charged out alone to face Gru, this monster, and that girl was so anxious she almost cried.

  She hastily said to Raymond: "What to do, you quickly think of a way to stop her."

  "Hey, who would have thought she'd be so impulsive? Now they're at odds with that guy, what can I do to stop them?"

  The girl was taken aback and then said anxiously, "Then hurry up and help her, don't forget why I hired you."

  "Are you kidding? You think we can take him down with just the few of us?"

  The girl bit her lip: "I didn't expect it either, he's actually terrifying to this extent."

  He grasped Raymond's arm and begged, "Please, no matter what, you have to help her. If you can save Lona, I'll give you as much money as you want afterwards."

  Looking at the beautiful girl's eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness, Ramon genuinely felt her concern for Lona. Originally, Ramon was not an impulsive person, but in this moment, his mind suddenly flashed back to the time of the rebellion in Garmouth, when he faced Haken's threat, and his mother rushed out without regard for her own safety.

  He softened in his heart and Raymond sighed: "Forget it, I'll give it a try."

  "What?" Bast exclaimed in surprise: "Young Master, you're not feverish, are you?"

  "Less chatter, get moving!" Raymond kicked her in the butt.

  Although she had seen the horrors of Gru with her own eyes, Basset did not hesitate in the face of Raymond's command. Muttering to herself, the cat woman drew out the curved knife from her waist and darted out like a ghost.

  "I must be crazy..." muttering to himself, Raymond also drew his sword, ready to strike.

  "By the way, you... be careful too." The girl said behind him.

  Upon hearing this, Raymond's childlike nature suddenly emerged. He turned around and, under the girl's bewildered gaze, suddenly reached out to touch her delicate face, then burst into laughter before she could react, and rushed towards Gru.

  Actually, he didn't know why he was doing this either, it's just that the beauty was right in front of him, and as long as you're a man, it's hard not to be moved.

  Suddenly, Ramon touched her lightly, and the girl was taken aback. But before she could react, Ramon had already slipped away, leaving the girl staring at his retreating back, involuntarily touching the cheek that Ramon had just touched...

  At this time, in the field.

  Dang dang dang... Amidst the successive ringing sounds, Basster unleashed a flurry of frenzied attacks with his curved knives at Gru.

  It seemed that for the first time, Gru encountered an opponent with such agile movements, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it. Basute's offensive had all landed on his body. Unfortunately, the cat woman's speed was fast enough, but her power was insufficient, although every knife strike hit its mark, it was unable to break through Gru's thick heavy armor, leaving only a shallow knife scar and countless sparks.

  In the midst of a burst of gunfire, Gru took advantage of Bastet's attack and swung his sword. In the instant he counterattacked, the catwoman agilely flipped backwards, barely avoiding the blade of the Qing sword, and retreated several meters away.

  "Meow, how scary." Bastet patted her chest while stroking the cat hair on her head that had been cut short by the sword wind.

  At this time, on the other side, Lona was about to swing her sword again when her shoulder was suddenly grabbed by someone.

  She was startled and hastily swung her sword back, but it was blocked by someone. At the same time, Raymond's voice came: "Are you dizzy? Hurry up and run."

  She finally saw clearly that the comer was Raymond, and Lona struggled: "Let me go, I want to kill him!"

  "Kill your fart." Raymond said helplessly: "If you want to die, don't look for this kind of monster."

  As he spoke, he patted Lona's head as he often did with Bastet: "Alright, listen up, come on and follow me quickly or we'll be late."

  Lona gritted her teeth and said: "You know something, that guy killed me..."

  Before he could finish speaking, a loud voice came from the other side: "Young Master, are you okay? I'm about to collapse!"

  "Give me one more minute!" Raymond shouted loudly.

  He turned to Lona and slapped her without ceremony: "Listen, I don't care what grudge you have against that guy, the only fact now is that you're sure to die if you go up against him."

  "Now my men are fighting that monster to save you. So stop being stubborn and wake up for me!"

  This slap from Raymond seemed to bring Lona back to her senses, and she turned to look at the cat woman who was circling Gru like a ghost, as well as the seriously injured Goodwin. The hatred and determination that had seemed to drive her mad gradually dissipated from her eyes.

  At this time, the girl also shouted: "Lona, run quickly, we can't beat him!"

  The girl's words finally made her dispel the idea, Lona hung her head: "Sorry, I was too impulsive..."

  "Apologies can come later, we need to get out of here before that guy realizes...” Raymond dragged her along and suddenly stopped in his tracks: “We're doomed!”

  But then he saw that one side, Gru suddenly stopped paying attention to the entangling Bastar, turned directly to the two people, and raised the sword in his hand...

  At this time, the two sides were separated by nearly ten meters, although Raymond did not know what Gru could do at this distance, but he still instinctively felt the danger.

  "Quickly!" He pulled Lona who was still in a daze and started running.

  At the same time, Ge Lu raised his sword over his head, and his entire arm suddenly swelled up, with blue veins bulging on the surface of his muscles, as if some kind of power was constantly accumulating in that arm.

  Immediately afterwards, Gruel swung his sword down at the two of them in a false slash.

  In an instant, a condensed gust of wind rose before him, right in front of his central axis. The ground sank down, and the dust on both sides rolled out wildly to the left and right, as if an invisible giant sword had broken through the ground and was rapidly advancing forward.

  Crack... crack... Amidst the successive cracking sounds, a fissure line appeared on the ground in an instant. At the same time, a strong and invisible impact rushed towards the two of them. The preceding gust of wind had already blown Raymond and Lona's clothes into disarray.

  Knowing he couldn't dodge, Raymond quietly shouted "Here goes nothing!" and drew his sword, aiming at the center of the impact and slashing fiercely. At the same time, Lona also took a deep breath, holding her sword horizontally in front of the two of them.

  In an instant, the two of them felt as if they were facing a massive wave crashing down from the sky, a force that was unmatched in its power and speed. The force hit them head-on and then scattered in all directions. They were like being at the center of a storm, with countless forces swirling around them from all sides, leaving them helpless. Just like two insignificant fallen leaves, they were tossed about in this unstoppable storm.

  The two people who directly faced Grid's sword had various feelings, but in the eyes of the observing girl, it was just Grid making a fake slash at the two, and Remon and Lona were blown away like paper men in a storm, falling to the ground.

  He was thrown high and fell heavily, this time almost making Raymond faint, he coughed painfully on one side, while trying to stand up with his sword on the other, but his head was dizzy and confused, almost forgetting where he was.

  "Cough, cough, cough..." After a long while, he finally struggled to get up and found that he had been blown away by the impact for seven or eight meters. Lona, on the other hand, was not much better off than him, the girl half-kneeling on the ground, her legs still trembling.

  It was just a casual slash, yet it left Raymond and Lona in such a sorry state. Just how strong was this swordsman named Gru?

  "What's wrong?" Seeing Raymond at a disadvantage, Bastet was anxious and angry, wanting to rush over, but was swept back by Gru with a reverse hand. If the cat woman hadn't dodged quickly, she would have been cut in two by the sword wind.

  Gulu walked slowly towards the two with his sword in hand.
