"Shit," the unknown man muttered, failing to account for one more Observer. He prepared himself mentally for a full-blown battle.
"Pfftt." The Observer fell to the ground, pierced by an ice shard.
"Quite sloppy for someone confident in his skills," Scarlett said to the unknown man.
"Wow, guess I overestimated myself," the unknown man muttered, surprised at Scarlett's abilities. It became clear to him after realizing that she had personally killed the rest of the Observers while he had barely taken down three through stealth. She had killed twelve of them, even offering him aid.
The unknown man continued his stealthy movement after acknowledging Scarlett's abilities.
"Where exactly are we going?" Scarlett finally asked.
"We will be there soon. Just exercise patience, miss," the man said, continuing his journey—but this time at a fast pace, since they were no longer in the jurisdiction of the Glutton Clan and would rarely come across demon knights.
