Bab 101: Chapter 99: Escape

"In the name of Goddess Fortuna, you must die here."

Claude couldn't believe his ears, so he strengthened his hearing using mana. It was a trick that he had picked up from the Lord of the Shadows himself. Now that he could hear it better.

He still couldn't believe his ears.

[Hey ratwag! What are you doing?! The elf girl seems to be in danger.]

"Since when do you care?"

Wondering what a Ratwag was, Claude tried to climb back out of the hole in the ground but it was futile.

But before he could place his palm on the edges of the hole, his ears perked up once more.

Outside, whoever was threatening Tiana had stopped in their tracks and behind them more people had turned up.

"Lord Leres…?"

"Elves?"

"Puuun! Puuuuuun!"

Elves? Leres? Leres, Claude recognized the name, he definitely had tied that bastard when he had been followed from Soleda.
