The Author's POV

Chapter 414

Having run all the way here, I was at a loss for breath. Therefore, with both of my hands on my knees, I tried to catch my breath.

Thud—

With a soft thud, a body fell next to my feet. Lifting my head, my eyes met with Jin's and Kevin's.

"Haa…haa…I'm not too late am I?"

"..."

I was met with no repose.

Kinda rude if I had to say.

"...So you guys okay or not?"

I asked again. This time, Kevin finally moved. Slowly walking towards the corpse next to my feet, Kevin bent down and placed his fingers on his neck. He checked his pulse.

"He's dead."

He muttered. Raising his head and staring in my direction, he hatefully spat.

"Good job coming here right when the job was already over."

"...What?"

My head tilted back. I was a bit confused by his sudden burst of anger.

However, before I could say anything else, Jin walked up next to Kevin and also looked at the body of the man I had taken down.

"Thank you for taking credit for someone else's work."

"...Huh?"

What were the two of them on about?

Shaking his head, Kevin stood up.

"Whatever, it's not really your fault. You probably had no idea what was going on."

"...Yeah, that."

With a stoic face, I replied with a soft nod.

"I had just finished my business and was coming to meet you guys up, however, just when I was about to arrive, I ran into the barrier. Was very shocked to find you guys in this situation."

Have to admit. At this point, I was very good at bullshitting.

"Right."

Turning his head, Kevin stared in the direction of where the others were.

Bang—!

Right on cue, a body came crashing down against one of the trees.

Xiu!

What followed after was a swift and ferocious light that quickly impaled itself onto the figure as blood sprayed everywhere.

Without needing to look, everyone could tell that he was dead.

Standing a couple of hundred meters away from the figure was Amanda who stood with her feet planted on the ground and her bow slacked on her hands.

Next to her was Emma who had both of her shortswords drawn.

Bang—!

With another bang, the last remaining hooded figure came crashing down on the ground. The ones responsible for this were Arnold and Troy who, with the aid of Melissa, were able to swiftly take care of him.

Staring in the direction of where the hooded figures lay, just when I was about to check their identities out, Kevin grabbed me by the shoulder and pointed his finger at his face.

"...Ren, your face."

"Ah, right."

It was then that I realized that I wasn't wearing a mask. In order to save as much mana as possible, I ran without a mask.

"Let me put it back on."

Taking out my mask, before the others figured out my identity, I put the mask on my face and my face quickly morphed.

Feeling my facial structure change, I clapped my hands in satisfaction.

"Better."

"...Where have you been?"

It was then that I heard Emma's voice come from the distance. Walking up to me, she glanced at Kevin to make sure he was fine before turning her attention back to me.

"You missed quite a lot."

"...I sure did."
