Chapter 413
Even after being released, Emun gathered those who could not move properly and, cloaked in darkness, moved toward the security management team building. Meanwhile, Cavalry members were incessantly pouring down various elemental attacks from the top of the building.
Amidst the chaos of crumbling walls, overturned carts, and twisted roads, Yuder advanced forward, avoiding obstacles with the minimum movement necessary. Through the thick dust, he spotted the fallen Baron Willhem and Ershi, who was attacking him.
Neither Nahan nor any other comrades were visible beside her. Near the Baron, a servant who had followed him lay flailing, already transformed into a corpse. It was the same method as what happened to his brother and sister-in-law, who had been murdered in the basement of his mansion.
The Baron, forgetting even his dignity, frantically dodged attacks on the ground. His clothes and body were filled with wounds, making him look no different from a hunted beast.
"Wh-where is everyone? The assassin wants to kill me, ah!"
"Die!"
"Aaaaagh!"
Baron Willhem screamed, covering his face with his hands. But the death he expected did not come.
Yuder locked eyes with Ershi, holding a sword that had blocked her attacking hand. The strong shock traveled up his palm, tingling so intensely that it was unbelievable that it came from a clash between a bare hand and a sword.
"Ca, val, ry."
She seemed not to recognize that the hooded man was someone that she knew, though, given her crazed appearance, it was doubtful she would recognize him even if he revealed his face.

"If you stop me, you, too, will die...!"
She raised her other hand and struck down, as if enraged. Yuder narrowly dodged her charging body and fended off the attack aimed at him and Baron Willhem.
Only then did the Baron open his eyes, realizing that he had not died, and grasp the situation. Whether the one who was defending him was Cavalry or not was no longer important. What mattered was surviving.
"Sa-save me! I'm a noble. She's trying to assassinate a noble!"
Naturally, his cry did not help Yuder at all. It only made the angry Ershi stronger. Yuder frowned as he noticed her attacks getting stronger with every deflection.
'It looks like she might go berserk.'
A powerful Awakener individual, caught up in intense emotions, would often become much stronger in specific situations than usual. Although the attacks might become simpler as excitement grew, it was still not difficult to defend against them.
However, the problem was that the amount of power one could draw was not infinite.
In his previous life, Yuder had seen countless times when Awakeners, drawing power rapidly in the face of death, went berserk and died. If lucky, they survived, and their abilities skyrocketed, but that was truly a matter of luck.
And Ershi seemed to be entering that stage right now.
Facing a berserk Awakener was as difficult as stopping a storm with one's bare body. As he pondered whether to abandon his plan of restraining her with minimal force, reinforcements suddenly appeared from behind.
"You’re here!"
From the dust, Ever appeared, followed by Emun and Kanna. Seeing the enemy numbers increase, Ershi seemed to decide that continuing a one-on-one fight was disadvantageous and retreated, but her growl of hatred did not cease. Yuder approached his comrades and whispered softly,
"Her power is extraordinary. She might go berserk, so be careful."
“Runaway magic?”
“When power is exerted excessively, in some cases, it leads to progress, but in others, it does the opposite. ...I have seen it before.”
“Even before joining the cavalry, you met another Awakener; you really seem to know everything.”
"It's been a while since I've used my strength properly."
"Ever, hadn't you used your real strength against the people we've just beaten?"
Emun's trembling voice asked the question, but Ever didn't respond. Instead, she just pointed towards Baron Willhem. The Baron's eyes met Ever's, and he retreated with a terrified expression.
"What, what are you going to do? You scoundrels. Don't you dare lay a hand on me!"
"What are you planning to do with that man!"
As Ershi yelled and rushed in, Ever's fists clenched together and her foot struck the ground like an explosion. The moment the two hands collided, a massive pressure erupted with a sound like steel clashing against steel.
Yuder seized the opportunity and quickly signaled to Kanna.
"Let's go."
Kanna also firmly closed her lips and nodded.
"Get on my back quickly. We have to move fast."
"What? Uh, wow!"
Kanna let out a small scream as Yuder jumped, carrying her on his back.
"Ah. It's too high!"
"I'm sorry."
Yuder was accustomed to the sensation of falling and jumping again at this height, but Kanna was not. After he apologized, she made a few sounds of annoyance before tightly gripping Yuder's shoulder and clinging to him.
"It's, it's fine. It's urgent now, so you can go faster! Let's go!"
"..."
"Oh right. But where's the auction house? All around here looks like mysterious mansions."
"According to the information from those who attended the auction last year, one of those mansions has been remodeled into an auction house... So we just need to go a little further."
Yuder answered while leaping from the roof of a building onto the roof of another.
"Ah, is it over there? I hear some noise..."
