A godly finger flicked the sharp blade away.
However, the sword Qi that exploded swept across the entire carriage. Wherever it passed, everything was destroyed.
Tier 5 Earth Spell, Earth Guard.
With a thought from Rene, an earthen yellow light barrier rose up and enveloped Yumina, helping her block all the sword energy.
Otherwise, at such a close distance, even if Rennes helped her deflect the sharp blade, the sword aura that followed would still tear her body apart.
A mage's body was still too fragile.
Thus, the moment the blade was deflected, Rene cast the Tier 5 spell he had just learned, Earth Guard.
With Rene's current strength of the sixth step, he could instantly cast a fifth step spell or a sixth step spell.
"Boom!"
The carriage instantly exploded, and was directly shattered by the violent explosion of sword qi. The sun shone down.
"Ah!"
Only then did Yumina react. She screamed, her face pale and filled with fear.
All of this happened too quickly. It did not take more than a second from the moment Rennes made his move to the moment the carriage was crushed.
At the end of the day, she was still a sixteen-year-old girl. Although she had the strength of a peak Tier 4, she was just a little flower in a greenhouse and had never experienced actual combat.
It was only natural for him to have such a performance.
" Tier 7 assassin?!"
Rennes's eyes narrowed. In his line of sight, a black figure flew out. He stared coldly at Rennes and quickly disappeared into the distance.
If his attack failed, he would flee thousands of miles away.
This was a real assassin!
"This is troublesome!"
Rennes frowned. This assassin was obviously more professional than the previous one.
His vigilance was also very high. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly fled far away, not giving him any chance at all.
Such an assassin was the most troublesome.
You would never know when he would suddenly attack.
" Protect the princess!!"
Outside the carriage, the guards who had been following them all the way finally reacted. They roared and hurriedly pulled out their knight's swords, all of them focused and on guard.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
A young knight stepped forward and asked, his expression filled with panic and anxiety.
If anything happened to Princess Yumina, they would all die.
"I'm…I'm fine!"
Yumina's face was pale as she shook her head. Her eyes were still filled with fear.
The moment the sharp blade appeared, she almost thought she was going to die.
The cold blade caused her skin to feel a sharp pain and coldness. If it wasn't for Rennes, she would have died.
"Ryan, thank you!"
Yumina said gratefully. She looked at Rennes with eyes full of gratitude and love.
He had a good impression of Rennes, but after this incident, it successfully transformed into admiration.
A hero saving a damsel in distress was indeed a routine that had never changed.
In that desperate situation, it was Ryan who saved her life.
"Thank you, Sir Ryan!"
The young knight quickly knelt on one knee, his face full of gratitude.
He was a Type 5 expert, and although his strength was not too strong, he still had a keen eye. He knew that if Rene had not acted, Princess Yumina would have died.
It was Rene's intervention that saved Princess Yumina and their lives.
"No worries!"
Rennes calmly shook his head and looked at Yumina.
"In the following period of time, you better not leave the Holy Rose Academy. Also, you must ask your father to send a powerhouse to protect you!”
"The person who attacked just now is a seventh-rank assassin. His methods are extremely sharp and terrifying, making it impossible to guard against!”
Yumina's expression changed slightly, and so did the faces of the guards present.
A seventh step assassin hiding in the dark, just thinking about it made one's scalp go numb.
If such an expert wanted to assassinate him, even if it was a Type 7 expert of the same level, there was a high probability of success.
Assassinating a princess was almost a piece of cake.
Even with the protection of a Type 7 powerhouse, it was not safe.
"Your Highness, let's go back to the palace. No one will dare to attack you there!”The young guard from before said.
"No need. I want to return to the Holy Rose Academy. When I get there, no one will dare to attack me!”Yumina shook her head stubbornly. Her junior had yet to break through. How could she return to the palace alone?
"Besides, I was assassinated because I didn't bring my equipment. If I had equipment, how could a seventh step assassin assassinate me?”
Yumina said viciously.
This made Rennes look at her in surprise, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
As a princess of a country, it was normal for her to have a few pieces of protective equipment.
In this world, there was not only magic, but also all kinds of magic tools. They were created by all kinds of magic and hosted by all kinds of magic.
There were magic scrolls, magic necklaces, and so on.
As a princess, it was not surprising for Yumina to have a magical tool that could block a seventh step assassin.
"It's better to report this to His Majesty. It's impossible for someone to assassinate the princess for no reason. There must be someone behind it, and their status is not ordinary.”Rennes suggested.
Although he had only known Yumina for a short time, he was quite fond of this beautiful girl. He did not want her to die just like that.
Furthermore, based on the relationship between Yumina and Bianca, Rene didn't want anything to happen to Yumina.
"I know!"
Hearing Rene's words, Yumina looked at Rene with a blush on her face and replied in a low voice.
Compared to before, he was much gentler.
This surprised Rene, but he was also a little happy.
Compared to the unruly princess, the soft girl was more likable.
"Let's continue walking!"
Rene said calmly. He then led Yumina to another duke's carriage.
Although there was an assassination attempt, Ryan's ultimate goal would not change.
