Chapter 162: Beheading

"Wind Elemental Art: Wind Blades!" Rian whispered, and small, sharp wind blades materialized on his right and left, swirling around him.

"Go!" He called out softly, prompting the wind blades to swiftly lunge towards the two figures.

"Whoosh!"

The wind blades descended rapidly, and in an instant, the bald man carrying the treasure had his head cleaved open.

The short man, who had been smiling until then, witnessed his friend's head being severed, and his expression abruptly shifted.

"Eh?" He gasped in shock, struggling to comprehend the unfolding events before him.

However, just before he could react, another swift blade of wind rushed towards him, cleanly slicing his neck.

His head detached and tumbled to the ground, wearing an expression of bewilderment even in death.

Observing this, Rian and Carina's expressions remained unchanged.
