Chapter 526

The black–clad assailants let out blood–curdling screams and crumpled to the ground all at once. The forest reeked of blood.

Athena’s terrified gaze snapped to where a lone swordsman stood, sword still in hand.

The dim light only revealed the man’s silhouette and his taut, narrow waist.

Only when Athena’s eyes adjusted to the dim light did she finally make out the man’s face.

“Prince Xander!” Athena gasped in surprise.

Xander flashed to her side, finding Athena leaning against a boulder, her body swaying precariously.

The commotion had already alerted the black–clad assailants lurking in the distance.

Xander swiftly pulled Athena close, his arm encircling her waist as he murmured urgently, “We need to leave now.”

Athena nodded. The next instant, she suddenly felt weightless. Xander had effortlessly scooped her up in his arms, cradling her against his chest

The wind whipped past Athena’s ears as the world blurred by in a dizzying rush.

Suddenly, Xander’s deep, urgent voice rang in her ear. “Hold on to me. Tight!”

His voice carried both urgency and deadly intent. Athena immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.

Xander tightened his grip around Athena’s waist and whirled. His longsword flashed, steel rang out as he cleaved an incoming arrow clean in two.

Seeing them try to flee, the assassins let loose a hail of arrows to seal off their path.

Xander swept his longsword through the air, unleashing a devastating surge of sword energy that lashed out at the black–clad assailants.

Seeing this, the assailants scattered for cover. Seizing the moment, Xander had already dashed nearly a hundred yards away with Athena.

Now beyond arrow range, the black–clad assailants were forced to abandon their pursuit.

Clutching Xander’s neck, Athena broke out in a cold sweat

at the sight.

Had it not been for Xander’s incredible martial prowess, they would both be corpses by now.

But what truly awed Athena was Xander’s ability to block the enemies‘ retreat, all while holding her securely in his arms.

In the entire Petanion, no one could hold a candle to his courage and strategic brilliance.

Xander landed softly once he spotted a safe place.

Pressed so closely against him, Athena felt a flush of embarrassment. “Put me down,” she murmured, “I can walk on my own.”
