Volume 5 Chapter 71: I Trust You

"Keith!" Alfia quickly fired magic at the assassin, blowing him away. Rushing to Keith, she checked on the wound. She gasped. A deep cut ran through his back. 

"Get them now!" However, before the assassins could continue, they were blown away! A whirlwind of ice and wind surrounded the assassins. 

"Aria," Keith's expression brightened when he saw who arrived. 

Aria quickly flew over to Keith's side, worried. Keith shook his head, "I'm fine. Just some flesh wounds." 

"Kwak!" Aria didn't hesitate as she flapped her wings, firing more icicles! 

"Dodge!" The assassins tried their best to dodge them. However, there were too many icicles. Half of them were hit! 

"What force!" "We need to report back to him!"

That was not the end of the attack. With a snap of her fingers, a cyclone formed around them, shredding them! 

"So this happened to me when I got hit," Keith chuckled.  

"You got hit by that?!" A look of disbelief was plastered on Alfia's face.

"Yeah, Nephele shot me like that," Keith could still feel the pain.

"How did you survive?"

"Don't know," Keith didn't understand it either. He should have been dead as well. As they talked,

"Escape!" The assassins didn't hesitate as they tried to flee. This was way more than they could manage! However, only two people could escape. The rest were defeated. 

"Phew! Didn't even break a sweat," Nephele appeared. 

"Nephele, there are still more coming," This was not the time for them to be happy. Keith heard what they said before; there were going to be more people coming their way.

"No need. Me and Aria dealt with that before we arrived." There were more assassins around, following the main group. She took them out before they had the chance to do anything. 

"That's great," Keith sighed in relief. But as he was going to get up,

Bam!

"Ow!" What Keith got was a punch to the nose! He turned to Alfia, "What was that for?!"

"You idiot!" Alfia grabbed his collar, "Why did you do something like that?!"

"Do what?!"

"How could you throw your life away like that!" Alfia couldn't believe he would do something like that! 

"If you would have died-" Alfia couldn't finish her sentence. But Keith felt something on his shirt. It was teardrops. 

"..." Keith chuckled, "You look pretty weird when you cry,"

"Howf couwd yos tawk liwke twat?!" Alfia's words were jumbled up from the sniffling and crying.   

Keith sighed and patted her head, "Okay, okay. It's my fault, I'm sorry. But I had to do that. I had a better chance of surviving." His plan was to get Alfia out of there first. 

Then, he would give the assassins the slip. However, he didn't account for them to be this strong. 

Sucking up her tears, Alfia stared at Keith, "Promise you won't do that again,"

"...I won't."

"What's with the silence?!"

"Nothing," 

Alfia got up from Keith's body, "Can you stand?"

"Of course," Keith got sliced in the back, but he could still move around. He walked up to the assassins.

"You two did a number on them." What happened to them was indescribable. 

"Ehehe," Nephele scratched her head. Keith took off the mask on his face. When Alfia saw who it was, her eyes widened. 

An elf.

"Knew it," Keith shook his head. He had a hunch that an elf who had attacked him. 

"What do we do now?" Nephele rolled up her sleeves. Since all of them wanted to take Keith's life, that meant they should do the same. Aria had the same mind. 

"Let me think," Keith thought about what to do. As he did,

"Keith, can you let me deal with this?" Alfia spoke.

"Hmm?" "Please,"

"Sure." Keith nodded.

"Eh?"

"What do you mean "Eh?" Did you expect me to say something else?" Keith shook his head as he patted the girl, "I trust you."

"..." Alfia was speechless. 

"But we need to take them to the guards." That was something they had to do first.

"..." Alfia didn't say anything. That caused Keith to wave his hand, "You good?"

"Yes! We should take them to the guards!" Alfia nodded. She quickly grabbed the ropes around the assassins!
