Janna Patel frowned as she watched everything from one of the mountains. Beside her were a few of her subordinates.
"Ma'am, if we don't help them, I think they might die. While I don't know what happened down there to cause an explosion of that magnitude to happen, it did alert those above. If they don't get out of here fast, they'll end up trapped by them." Said one of Janna's most trusted subordinates.
But she shook her head. "No, we retreated. My mission here was to stop Low Deal's from escaping; since we did that, it's time to go." She turned around after saying this and started walking.
That confused her subordinates. "This, ma'am. You are trying to gain their trust, aren't you? You even came here personally. So why not go all the way? You already risked so much..." Before this subordinate could finish, Janna raised her hand for him to stop.
"I said that's all, and that will be all. Although gaining his trust and friendship is something I would like to do, I don't intend to risk my life for him. We're leaving." As soon as she finished speaking, she no longer listened to her subordinates and ran uphill through a different place.
These subordinates, although confused, in the end ended up running after her without saying a word.

As soon as Matt finished talking to Alice, he jumped on one of the people closest to him.
That person was brandishing a rather large sword that looked imposing. His strength was relatively high, but he couldn't even perceive Matt's quick movement.
"You're carrying quite a flashy sword. Looks like it's time to steal from the Divine Knights to pay for the expenses of an organization." Although Matt's words carried no power, they somehow sounded like thunder in this person's ears. Even more so when he felt a fist strike him in the chest.
Pain hugged his body as he shot backward hundreds of feet until he hit a mountain.
The movement was so fast that by the time everyone could react, his companion was already stuck to a mountain with a huge hole in his chest.
"KILL HIM, HE HAS BECOME MORE POWERFUL!" The loud shout of one of the Divine Knights reverberated in the surroundings, and quickly, their swords began to move.
The magic also began to fly, but they missed a target as Matt moved again to slam one of the Divine Knights in the head against the ground.
Behind Matt stood a headless body with a sword in his hand. This body lurched back and forth before falling firmly to the ground.
That shocked the Divine Knights. They trembled after seeing this, and then they felt a terrifying cold grip over them.
Everyone raised their heads abruptly to see Matt attacking them.
Matt's attack came milliseconds after they saw him and ended up instantly decapitating several people.
He didn't need to save whole corpses this time because he knew whose work this was. That is why, to kill them more quickly, he attacked them head-on in the head.
Each blow was a bloody explosion, and one more corpse was added to a long list of 30 corpses left at the end of the fight.
It was then that Matt felt the power he had absorbed leave his body, so he smiled.
"How convenient." He spoke.
It was the first time he used this power. Although he realized a big problem using it, he also learned that it was pretty amazing and convenient. If he used it right, he could turn a multi-versus combat all by himself, solely because of it. Or he could even fight much more powerful people on equal footing for a few moments.
It was a pretty convenient power if he knew how to use it, but he could still delve into it, and maybe he would find better things.
After he finished killing them, he quickly picked up the corpses so as not to leave any such clues and ran to where Alice was.
"We're leaving. Several people are coming from up the mountain, so we'll take a detour and go up another way," he said.
She had no questions for him. All she wanted to know was if that beautiful woman they saw was Matt's wife. But that question had to wait because, at that moment, they felt terrifying presences hovering over their heads, so they started to run.
That place was totally messed up, with lots of craters, blood, and traces of fights. There were even traces of a huge explosion nearby, which left a huge hole in one of the mountains of the mountain range that had been called the 'Immovable Mountain Range'.
