After Rowan pointed his finger towards the guards who are nearing the village gate, Lena rushes forwards to fight the guards even though she is an immortal and the guards are just mortals, she struggles a bit as she has lost a significant amount of power into healing her.
Lena swiftly kills three guards consecutively by throwing her moon blades which are crafted specially by herself and leaps into the air and conjures 10 sharp ice darts which pierces the skull of another 10 guards. And after landing she sends a gust of wind towards the guards to make them stagger and using this as an opening she swiftly kills another 3 guards with her water like movements, but when she tried to go after the head of another guard he dodged her attack and as a counter he swings his large sword at her but she retreats backwards as her instincts kicked in at the right time before he could strike her.
Rowan notices the exhaustion from Lena as she staggers while attacking the enemies, he knows that she couldn't keep at this for long and tries to find a solution before Lena overclocks. Even if they use Felix as a hostage there are still nearly 30 guards alive and if they manage to catch up to them and find out their home, his family will also be involved which would put their lives at risk.
So, he signals Lena to fall back and conjures a huge light orb and projects it towards the guards, the massive light emitted from the orb blinds everyone in the surrounding area but luckily the horses used for wagons usually wears blindfold which doesn't hinders their plan to escape.
Lena immediately retreated and started to run towards their wagon, Rowan in other hand didn't waste even a single minute and boarded the wagon to steer. Lena managed to reach the wagon and hopped on it on time, While the guards are still stunned by the light orb Rowan casted upon them. The trio uses this opportunity and finally escaped from their sight and is now on their way back to the Blackwood's residency.
"That was a good move back there, Rowan" Lena appreciates his quick-wittedness for a moment and asks, "but how did you do that?". "Not now Lena" he says apologetically and she didn't press on that matter believing that he would open up to her about it one day.
Meanwhile in the Ryla village,
The remaining soldiers' rescues Felix and takes him to back to their nearby stronghold, after a few hours has passed his father the governor of the mortal realm of the Vlera realm rushes to see his injured son. He enters the room and calls out his son's name hoping his son would speak but there was no response from him, seeing this he grabs a soldier nearby by his collar and asks him about this incident. The guard to briefs about the incident took place in that village, at that time a man who looks like a demonoid enters the room and asks the governor what had happened.
The governor briefs about the incident to that man but twists the story as the people who attacked him where rebels who are trying to overthrow the government. After hearing and taking in the information given by the governor "I will see to this matter myself" he says coldly sending shivers down to the spines for the governor and the governor in return responds with a bow in gratitude "I am forever indebted to your kindness Heaven's Envoy".
