Well, since he was the very victim of that notion, Jem was condemning it. Regardless, Jem thought it was reckless for Miles to run ahead of them.


    When they arrived, the situation in the area was suspicious. Just based on that, you will immediately realize that the environment is dangerous. But, Miles didn''t seem to mind.


    Jem thinks the situation is pretty familiar. It was the same when he joined Desty''s group. Due to the reckless move of one of them, their lives were put in jeopardy. And that was also the beginning of all his painful calvary.


    He was lying if he said that it never entered his mind to just leave Miles and the old man. And just save himself first. But, he still had a strong disgust at that idea. He didn''t want to be like those people. That will use other people as tools to save oneself.


    Honestly, he also didn''t want to interfere with others. But, because he needed the old man''s help, Jem had no choice but to try to save him. Of course, if the situation became dangerous for him, he would still be more willing to save himself, but he would not use other people for his personal gain. He will seek and find a way to survive any precarious situation as he did inside thebyrinth without stepping on other people. And if he gets to the point where he really can''t find any other way, it''s up to his luck to save him, if there is one.


    After hisplex experiences within thebyrinth, his belief in his luck increased. If it weren''t for this, he would definitely be a cold skeleton now. He could no longer count how many times his luck had saved him, so he had confidence in it. But of course, his perseverance also helped a lot. And his grandfather''s advice yed an important role as well. All of those served as the talisman that saved him.


    So far, they have found themselves in front of monsters. Seeing them, the monsters didn''t waste any more time. They are in a hurry to attack them. Two of them rushed at Jem while the other was left to finish the two people in front of it.


    Jem saw the town guard intercept his spear to block the monster''s attack. But the monster was too strong and the town guard was knocked back a little.


    Out of the corner of Miles''s sight, she noticed why she had almost copsed. She stepped on a piece of wood that was one meter and a half long, and it was as thick as her arm. Even with her muscles trembling in fear, Miles did not budge. She immediately picked up the wood lying next to her feet.


    "Heyah!" She shouted loudly to draw courage for what she was nning.


    Swoosh~


    As soon as the monsters approached, she immediately greeted one of them with the stick she was carrying. Seeing this, the monster just grinned. Maybe Miles'' movements were just slow for the monster. And the monster looks confident that it can precede her in the attack.


    "Be careful, granddaughter!" Oldman Barn eximed. He wanted to help her, but. He saw one of the monsters heading in his direction.


    Unexpectedly, the monster was startled. Miles did not continue her intended attack. Instead, she defended the monster''s attack by bowing slightly.


    Because of this, the monster''s hand only passed by and only the wind was hit. The monster was a little surprised at what she did. However, the monster was also able to adjust quickly. It immediately followed its attack. An attack from below! An uppercut full of sharp nails! And the second time, Miles avoided it again by retreating a little.


    Due to two consecutive attacks that the monster failed tond, Miles had found a hole from the opponent''s defense.


    She tightened her grip on the wood and hit the monster hard. Even though she was just an ordinary person, her determination was impressive. Luckily, her attack hit. They heard a dull sound when the wooden sticknded on the monster''s head. Miles'' movement is good. Her training at the Human Military School seems to have paid off.


    The monster retreats after receiving a brittle blow to the head. But, other than the lump and dizziness, the monster remained conscious. Although her move was good, she was not strong enough to hurt it.


    So even though she hit the monster on the head, it wasn''t enough for her to beat it. The monster shook its head slightly to get rid of the little dizziness it felt. After returning its sight, its face wrinkled and its red eyes red at her angrily.


    Miles subconsciously gulped down her saliva that was blocking her throat.


    It looks like it got really angry from Miles'' attack. Even though her chest was pounding hard, Miles didn''t budge.


    The other monster rushed at Jem and Barn. Barn panicky looked around, but he didn''t see anything that could be used as a weapon. If there are any, they are quite far from his position. It will be toote if he runs to pick it up. In addition, it seems impossible to run away from them. Especially since the monster is obviously faster than them.


    So, in the end, Oldman Barn just hardened his jaws. There was a mysterious glint in his eyes. Then, he shouted. "I am the elder! How can I rely on younger people to fight these monsters!?" While screaming this, he lifted the sleeves of the old long sleeve he was wearing.


    "Jem, take Miles and get out of here!" He said to the young man as he stepped in front.


    "....."


    Even though he is old, his arms are muscr. "Don''t underestimate this old man whose work is tough!" He added. After saying this, he approached the charging monster while raising his fist. It seemed he wanted to deal with the monster with his fist.


    However, the monster was not shaken by his shout. Its sarcasm can even be seen from the expression on its face.


    Well, Oldman Barn is just encouraging himself. He knew he had no match against the troll.. But, if because of his sacrifice he can save these children, it will also be a sess for him.
