As the man faltered, a fire arrow came hurtling toward him as if taking advantage of the distraction, but Qiong Xing countered it with water magic and extinguishing it instantly.
"No way!? Why isn't this working—kyaah!"
Qiong Xing used magic to pin the woman to the ground so she couldn't move, then restrained the remaining two who still hadn't given up attacking.
"You've harmed what's precious to others without knowing, without trying to understand, you are nothing but foolish murderers."
"No! We are heroes who save people..."
"Save? When have I ever asked for your help? What you did was yell at innocent people, and then point your swords at the family who came to help. To me, your existence is not a help, it's a nuisance."
He reached out to Albe who ran toward him with tears threatening to fall.
"He is my precious family. No matter what others may think, my resolve will not change. If it's to protect my family, injuries like this are nothing."
