As soon as Samuel finished speaking, Vivian and her spiritual beast started running from that place as fast as they could!
Roy was already a level 52 Spiritual King, which Vivian and her bodyguard couldn't dream of antagonizing. The two of them weren't like those people they'd met recently, who could fight people much stronger than they were.
In this case, there was no hesitation on either side. Vivian had started to run away with everything she had while Samuel ran towards Roy.
As a subordinate of the Hayes family, as well as Vivian's bodyguard, Samuel had sworn to protect her, even if he had to sacrifice himself to do so. And in this case, just standing back and holding this opponent, would she have a chance to escape!
Samuel had been nurtured from a young age by the Hayes, but not only in resources but also in principles!
And as such, there was nowhere to run. He would never abandon his duties. In this situation, the only way ahead of him was to fight to fulfill his responsibilities to the end!
Anyway, seeing what the two were trying to do, Roy smiled and increased his speed, already heading towards the place where Vivian was trying to escape.
He understood what these two were trying to do, but he didn't intend to make it easy for them. 'If you want to hold me, you'll have to do better than that!' So, Roy thought to himself as he moved.
At the same time, the winged beast that had brought Roy to this place was now chasing the beast that had transported Samuel.
Although these beasts were mainly used as a means of transport, they were also born fighters. In fact, even unintelligent beasts would know when to fight. After all, these beings lived a long time among humans, and it didn't take them long to understand what should be done at times like this.
Grrr!
And quickly, the tremendous winged beast, which looked like a lizard, attacked the beast that looked like a tiger with its sharp teeth.
Grr!
On the other hand, Samuel's beast tried everything to defend itself, but this was a desperate situation for it.
Among spiritual beasts, fighting those of higher levels was even more difficult than it was with humans!
And since that 'tiger' was only in the 4th stage of cultivation, it wasn't a match for Roy's beast, which had already reached the 5th stage.
Quickly, the fight between these two became completely one-sided when the 'winged lizard' gradually destroyed its opponent's body while occasionally chewing the parts torn off by its fangs!
Grr!
...
Simultaneously, after running for more than 3 minutes at full speed, Vivian saw that Spiritual King getting closer and closer to her. And even though she was closer to that city, it seemed that instead of the distance getting smaller, it was like it was getting bigger.
It was genuinely frustrating and terrifying to run away from someone so much stronger than you while seeing how to save yourself well ahead. In those moments, time and space seemed to work differently, as if the world itself wanted to 'enjoy the show'...
On the other hand, because they were running through terrain with some irregularities, even though there was a considerable difference in the cultivation of Roy and Samuel, Vivian's bodyguard had managed to get closer to this man.
He had used his techniques to slow down that subordinate of the Chambers family, constantly attacking him.
And even with the difference in these two levels, Roy couldn't just ignore Samuel's blows. After all, this man was already at level 49 and had enough power to hurt his opponent and maybe buy Vivian enough time.
"Miserable, if you want to die so bad, I don't mind helping you!" Roy yelled in a fury, already tired of having to be delayed every time he got closer to Vivian.
And right after saying those words, Roy immediately released his cultivation power while creating claws in his hands, which looked like purple blades that emanated a negative sensation.
Devil's Claws!
Seeing this, Samuel immediately activated his defense, raising a shield of the earth in front of him as he prepared to counterattack too!
Earth Shield!
Boom!
Quickly the battle between the two broke out, with Samuel doing everything to defend himself and causing some difficulty for Roy. Obviously, there was no way this bodyguard could beat his opponent, but holding him back for a while was indeed possible!
Even if he were stronger, Roy couldn't kill an opponent just two levels below him in one blow.
Because of that, he would have to make a little effort before eliminating this stone that was in the middle of his path...
Boom!
Amidst the sounds of battle, Vivian continued to run when she finally looked back for the first time, with her eyes watering.
She knew Samuel couldn't beat a level 52 Spiritual King, so she felt terrible about what could happen. As much as that man was just a subordinate of the family, who had been responsible for protecting her, Vivian still could not ignore the fact that she had known him since childhood!
On the first day of the spiritual academy period, this man was already there, beginning to accompany her from that moment until today.
Not only that, given the mores of the Hayes family, Vivian couldn't help but value the work of someone who had accompanied her so many times and was now putting himself in danger for her.
Anyway, as Vivian watched from a position further and further away, Samuel was thrown from one side to the other, as he tried whenever he could to continue counterattacking. He didn't want to let this enemy escape his area of influence and then kidnap the young Vivian.
'Just a little longer, and she'll be safe.' he thought to himself, trying to dodge Roy's sharp claws.
"Ahhh!"
However, this situation did not take long.
Soon, Samuel could no longer maintain his defenses and dodges, having received a critical blow that had torn off one of his arms.
Roy had caught Samuel at a vulnerable moment while this bodyguard tried to dodge unsuccessfully. The claws on the Chambers' subordinate's right hand then crossed diagonally, slicing through the bone into one of Samuel's arms.
All of this had happened in a single split second when Vivian was still watching from afar.
Nevertheless, seeing that his opponent could no longer hinder him, Roy was getting ready to run towards Vivian when something strange happened.
Samuel used his remaining hand to firmly hold one of Roy's arms as he began the sacrifice!
Quickly a black ball a few centimeters in diameter began to form near Samuel's chest, simultaneously with the man's abrupt aging.
"Bastard, let go of me! If you want to die, do it alone!" Roy screamed as he tried to break free.
And when he did, he immediately tried to run out of the sacrifice area, already feeling shivers down his spine. 'What a shame would be if I die at the hands of a Spiritual General!' He thought briefly.
On the other hand, far away, tears fell from Vivian's eyes as she screamed with all her breath. "No!"
Boom!
But there was nothing to do.
A sacrifice could not be turned back once it had started, and soon, an intense explosion happened in that place, creating a large crater there.
Dust rose in the vicinity of that village they were about to arrive, from which it would be just a short distance to the big city beyond.
However, as much as Vivian was resented by what happened, she had not slowed down her movement and continued to flee in a hurry.
And suddenly, a shadow appeared near that place where the explosion had hit, as a man with torn clothes and damaged armor stood up in the rubble.
"Miserable! You almost killed me!" Roy screamed aloud, feeling pain all over his muscular body. He hadn't been able to escape Samuel's suicide attack entirely and had taken some damage from it!
"But at least now there's no one to bother me!" Roy quickly composed himself as he looked in the direction of Vivian and that girl's beast, who was running frantically.
Instantly he started running at full speed, making it all the way to the young noblewoman of the Hayes family in a few breaths.
"I got you!"
