"Dang!"

The sword blade did not smoothly cut through flesh but was forcefully blocked by something hard.

Shoyo slowly opened his eyes and saw the sword struck against a blue fist, but soon realized that the fist was covered in a very hard blue substance. His gaze followed the fist as it rose upward, revealing its owner—thick black hair resembling a lion's mane, a remarkably muscular physique, and a giant sword strapped to his back.

After striking with the sword, Shoyo, already exhausted, fell down, and the big man gently caught him with his right hand. Just before losing consciousness, Shoyo looked towards his concerned mother and saw someone holding the head of the Skullbreaker behind her.

Once he confirmed his mother was safe, Shoyo also fainted, allowing the long sword to fall to the ground.

"George, luckily you arrived. It's unimaginable how he must have felt when he was forced to kill even his own mother."

The long-haired man, without harming the child's mother, cut off the head of the Skullbreaker from behind and quickly reassured them before returning to the path, scanning the surroundings.

"Lord Mock, it's unusual for something like this to happen in a safe zone.

Mock entrusted Shoyo to his mother's care and looked at his own fist, murmuring words to himself.

"To be able to leave a crack with his strike, that boy is also extraordinary."

At that moment, the forest echoed with the sound of many footsteps trampling on leaves, and both of them knew it meant more Skullbreakers were approaching.

Suddenly, a Skullbreaker leaped onto the path, confronting the two of them and roaring loudly. Immediately, more Skullbreakers emerged from both sides of the forest. Some ran towards the end of the forest, presumably intending to attack the village where Aoino resided, which was the destination of Shoyo and their journey. These Skullbreakers all held crude weapons such as bone spears and axes, and they rushed towards Mock and George.

Capture the leader first. Mock's left hand, wearing a specially-made thick leather glove, re-solidified the cracked blue substance that appeared. He leaped forward, delivering a solid punch with his blue fist to the roaring Skullbreaker, causing its head and helmet to shatter.

Although they lost their leader's command, the remaining Skullbreakers did not retreat. Instead, they attacked in a frenzied manner, without any coordination. Mock also drew his sword and fought back. With one hand controlling the wide sword combined with his left fist, he had no disadvantage even when surrounded by Skullbreakers.

"There are quite a few of them."

George and Mock both used giant swords, but they required two hands to wield. Despite being smaller in size, George was quite agile.
