"Huh, sister, do you mean those people before us were carrying them?"
"Very likely."
At this moment, the younger sister Ailida also became interested and stepped forward to inspect.
"Sister, do you think we can control these two golems?"
"Look, there’s just one for each of us!"
"As a lady, it’s not polite to tamper with others’ belongings."
"Who?!"
The sisters’ faces turned serious as they immediately looked toward the depths of the nearby forest.
The elder sister Areda instantly cast a Shadow Arrow, shooting straight into the forest.
"Boom!"
The sound of the explosion came, but amidst the smoke, a figure could still be seen slowly walking over.
The newer was Rein.
Surrounded by a Kite Shield made of four pieces of demonized Silver, he approached with a smile.
"Oh, it’s you?"
Seeing Rein’s young face, the sisters were surprised.
Areda’s pretty face became serious, while her sister Ailida appeared curious, both carefully sizing Rein up.
After all, when Rein approached earlier, neither had noticed, indicating that his strength should not be underestimated.
Moreover, it was he who chose to reveal himself, which carried a deeper meaning.
What kind of person would show up uninvited?
At the very least, someone who believes they have the strength to face both of them.
"You are Rein, right? You should know we’re looking for you, and yet you came to us willingly, interesting." Ailida’s eyes lit up as she spoke.
"Sister, let me test Rein’s strength first."
"Be careful!"
Before Areda could finish speaking, Ailida’s figure flashed, and in the next moment, her agile form appeared in mid-air right in front of Rein.
Suddenly, a battle blade appeared out of nowhere in Ailida’s hand as she launched a swift Leap Slash at Rein!
Huh? Is that a battle blade?
Such speed!
However, Rein remained expressionless, transforming his hand into a Knight’s Longsword, holding it horizontally to block the opponent’s battle blade Leap Slash just in time!
"Clang!!!"
Sparks flew as the piercing sound of clashing metal echoed all around!
Ailida’s heart sank, feeling an immensely powerful force surging from the clash point. But she reacted swiftly, using the momentum to retreat.
However, Rein’s strength was too great, causing her to fail in flying back as intended, instead being knocked back into the air.
Rein, through the brief exchange, realized the opponent’s speed was astonishing, but her strength was a bit lacking.
Now with the opponent airborne and with no leverage, Rein narrowed his eyes, intending to seriously injure one first.
Just as he bent his knee to pursue, suddenly, over a dozen Shadow Arrows rushed toward him, launched by the sister Areda to attack him.
Rein raised his hand, casting a Second Level defensive witchcraft ’Iron Armor Technique’ on himself, and rapidly dodged the ining Shadow Arrow Rain!
At this moment, neither side initiated another attack.
The brief encounter made both sides understand that the other was not an easy target.
Rein now knew who each sister was; the one he fought in close bat was the younger sister Ailida, while the one assaulting him from afar with Shadow Arrows was the elder sister Areda.
According to Sword Bearer intelligence, younger sister Ailida excels in close bat, with exceptional speed, while elder sister Areda excels in Shadow Type witchcraft with great power.
Under normal circumstances, if their skills were only this, they wouldn’t be too difficult to handle.
But the issue was that intelligence also indicated they had a peculiar ability.
A special skill known to outsiders as ’Twin Shift’, which seems to allow them to switch positions with each other in an extremely short time.
