Seeing him attack, Derek laughed in anger.

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes and a sneer crept up on his face. He then activated his skill [Power Burst] which immediately doubled his physical strength.

"Die!" Feeling the power coursing through his body, he shouted out and swung his axe at the incoming sword with all his might.

He wanted to break the sword and hack Luke into two pieces with this attack.

With his 40+ strength, it would have been easy to accomplice this, but what actually happened sent chills down his spine.

When Luke sensed the sudden increase in Derek's power, he knew he must have activated a powerful spell.

'Perhaps I should use some more mana?' Luke thought.

Since he wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible, but Derek was quite strong, when he attacked, he had activated his newly gained [Mana enhancement] skill and covered his sword with five mana units to finish him off in one strike.

However, after sensing the sudden the increase in Derek's strength, he wasn't sure if only 5 units of mana would be enough to finish him.

Thinking this, he used 5 more units of mana to cover his sword, which glowed a little more brightly.

When Derek noticed this, he frowned. He knew Luke had also used some kind of skill and felt a little insecure. However, thinking how strong he was after using his skill, he stopped worrying and continued to swing his axe.

Clang! Crack! Slash!

However, as his axe clashed against Luke's sword, his expression turned horrified because he saw his axe being cut in two and before he could react, the sword continued toward him and struck at his head. He didn't feel any pain as if the sword hadn't hit him, but immediately after, his vision went blank.

'What is this? Am I… dying? This kid, why did he kill me?' Confusion overwhelmed him at the last moment of his life, as he couldn't think of any reason why Luke had killed him.

On the other side, Luke looked at the sword in hand with a shocked expression.

'Isn't this [Mana amplification] skill a little too overpowered? I only used 10 units of mana and it had already made my attack this strong. What would have happened if I had used twenty or more mana units?' He thought in shocked excitement.

Just now, when his sword cut both the axe and Derek's head in two, he felt as if he was cutting through something very soft. There was no resistance at all.

'It's good that it is a strong skill. Now I can take my time to find a better skill to fill my third skill quota.' He thought.

After that, he checked Derek's body to see if he dropped any skill book or had any valuable treasure on him, but didn't find anything.

Shaking his head in disappointment, he walked toward Derek's room and pushed open the door.

Inside the room, when Julia heard fighting sounds outside, a ray of hope shined in her heart.

Although she didn't know who was fighting against Derek, but she hoped he could kill him. However, remembering how Derek had become a lot stronger than a normal human, she wasn't too optimistic.

After a short while, when everything became calm outside, she became curious to see what the fight's result was. However, she didn't dare to stand up and check it out.

Just then, the door opened and someone walked inside.

She shuddered in fear and hurriedly closed her eyes, becoming motionless once again. free(w)ebnovel.com

…

Upon entering the room, Luke immediately spotted Julia lying on the bed. Just like her mother, she was also a beauty and had a delicate, youthful figure.

However, he didn't have time to admire her. If he didn't want to complicate the things, he had to leave this place before the other two camp leaders returned.

Because, even though he was quite strong, the chances of his survival weren't high if tried fighting multiple evolvers at the same time. Especially if they had also learned skills.

Therefore, he rushed up to Julia and leaned toward down to pick her up. Since he knew she was sick and probably couldn't walk on her own, he didn't want to waste his time trying to wake her up.

When Julia felt him approach her and lean toward her, her heart started beating faster, her eyes tearing up.

'It seems I can't escape my fate.' She thought, feeling bitter inside.

Secretly, she took out half a foot long glass shard from her pocket and clasped it tightly.

She wanted to try her luck to kill this bastard, although she would most likely fail to do so. If she really did fail, she was determined to stab the shard in her neck and end her life, since it would be a lot better than living a humiliating life.

'I hope mom is safe and can survive this disaster.' She thought, praying for her mother's safety.

A moment later, just as she felt a pair of hands touch her body,

Swoosh!

She snapped her eyes open and swung her hand as fast as she could, stabbing the glass shard toward his neck. "Die, you beast."

"Mm?" Luke hadn't expected her to sneak attack him and was surprised, but he reacted almost instantaneously and grabbed her hand.

He then said in a heavy voice, "Calm down! I'm here to save you."

Julia was about to struggle her hand free and kill herself when she heard Luke's voice.

She found the voice unfamiliar and finally focused her gaze on him. When she saw it wasn't Derek but a handsome young man, she calmed down but remained vigilant.

"Who are you?" She asked.

"I'll tell you later. Grab onto me." Luke grabbed the glass shard and threw it away before picking her up in the princess carry.

This surprised Julia and instinctively resisted, but to no avail.

"W-Where are you taking me?" She asked, feeling fearful. What if he was also like Derek and wanted to violate her after taking her away?

Luke didn't answer and rushed out of the room. Not even bothering to check if there was some treasure in the room he could use.

Since he didn't answer and Julia wasn't strong enough to resist him, she could only stay still and hope that he wasn't a pervert.

…

Lori was feeling antsy. There were many instances when she wanted to barge inside, but she knew if she did that, she might cause a problem for Luke, so she could only impatiently wait here.

The couple with the kid were also expectantly staring at the door.

Whoosh!

A short while later, the door swung open and Luke walked out, holding Julia in the princess carry.

When Lori saw her daughter safe and sound, emotional tears appeared in her eyes.

However, just as she wanted to hug her daughter and ask if she was alright, Luke spoke up, "You can have your reunion later. We need to leave first."

"Okay." Lori nodded in understanding and suppressed the urge to embrace her dear daughter.

When Julia saw her mother, she also became incomparably excited, emotional and relieved.

She also wanted to hug her mother and cry out her grievances, but hearing what Luke said, she didn't say anything and only looked at her with teary eyes and a smile on her face.
