Since he had been reincarnated to this world, nothing like this had ever happened. Not even close.
Hundreds of presences.
Ogres.
Red wolves.
White wolves.
Goblins.
A Goblin General.
They were all moving in the same direction.
Toward the house.
Rowan frowned.
"My parents should be okay," he thought. "The barrier I created can also repel monsters, so they should be safe."
Then he realized.
"Oh… it's because of my sparring with Elian…"
The intense mana from their training must have drawn the monsters.
"Well," Rowan said calmly, tightening his grip on the sword, "then I'll clear them all."
He opened the window, cold night air rushing in.
But before jumping out, he paused.
Rowan moved quietly through the hall and stopped in front of Elian's room. He opened the door just enough to look inside.
She was asleep.
Peaceful. Unaware.
He closed the door gently.
Returning to his room, Rowan stepped up to the window once more.
Without hesitation, he leapt.
