My Guardian System: The Trader

Although Abel was able to block the attack of one of the opponents, his strength wasn't enough to confront him. The enemy was much stronger than him. So in a matter of seconds, Abel was knocked back from the force of impact.

When Abel was sent flying, Oldman Barn quickly reacted. He followed up by charging forward with a piece of a short wooden pole in his hand. He swung it at the enemy. The enemy lifted the heavy-looking sword in his hand and effortlessly blocked Oldman Barn's attack.

Oldman Barn's hand turned numb slightly. He clenched his teeth, then he swung it again. "Heyah!" He shouted under his breath. The enemy blocked his attack again. But Oldman Barn was relentless. He attacked again and again. However, the enemy blocked all his attacks with a grin on his face.

"Tsk! Bastard! " Oldman Barn shouted loudly and drew strength from his hands and feet to thwart his attack. However, the opponent seemed to have noticed that he was just a normal person and nothing compared to him. The opponent retaliated using the flat side of his sword. Because of this, Oldman Barn was also thrown away just like Abel.

He bumped on Abel who was about to get up. "Agh!" The two of them groaned as they stumbled on the ground.

"Grandfather!" Miles shouted. But she realized her situation was also not good. In front of them was also another person with a huge weapon.

After getting rid of the old man's attack, "Ptui!" The enemy spat on the ground. 'Tsk! Only weaklings, huh,' he thought with a disappointed face.

On the other hand,

The enemy Jem confronted suddenly laughed. After Jem blocked its first attack, the opponent's eyebrow under his hood rose upward. However, after he saw that the two who dared to block his comrade's attack were quickly thrown away like scratched papers, he suddenly realized that they were just normal people. Especially when he noticed that the one who dared to block his attack was just a young man.

"Haha!" He laughed. The next moment he tightened his grip on the handle of his weapon. "You're courageous to block my attack! Boy!" He spat to Jem in a cynical tone. Then he added strength to his thrust to push the young man in front of him.

However,

"Ngh!" He groaned and frowned because he noticed something unbelievable. "What?!" He blurted when he noticed that the young man was not even shaken from his push.

'Impossible! With the level of strength I used in my pushing it was impossible to not budge this insect. Wait! Unless…' At that moment, doubt lingers in his mind. His eyes widened and he bellowed. "You! Don't say you are a—!" Before he could finish what he was going to say, a ring appeared on Jem's arm.

"An ascender!" He exclaimed. 

Because of his shout, it grabbed the attention of his ally with a large sword. His ally's intention to end the people in front of him has been postponed for a while. His ally saw that his feet were backing away from the young man's push who confronted him. Then his ally's forehead furrowed when he saw a bright ring on Jem's arm.

"Ascender…" his ally whispered with a slightly amused face. A second later, he grinned like a madman as if seeing a wonderful toy.

Jem intensified the push and he was able to carry away the opponent. The enemy was thrown back a few steps but managed to stay on his feet. Tsk! That was unexpected. The enemy wanted to retort.

Without minding what the enemy was saying, Jem stretched out his hand. Swoosh~ Miles widened her eyes because Jem suddenly pushed her aside without saying a word. But right after he did it, she noticed a big shadow appeared from their side. After that, she heard a high-pitched tone along with flashes of light particles.

Ting!

"Ha?" Miles muttered in disbelief. She noticed that it was the enemy who was confronted by Abel and her grandfather. It suddenly came and attacked Jem. But Jem managed to parry his attack with his daggers.

The enemy was slightly surprised, but only for a second before his lips curled upward. "Heh!" After a sneer, the enemy sent a low kick attack to outbalance him. But Jem quickly dodged it by leaping backward. He managed to create a distance between them. "Not so shabby, kid," praised the man with a heavy-looking sword before attacking again. However, his comrade stopped him.

"Hey bro! That one is my prey," said the man with a large axe in hands.

"My hands are numb because of boredom. Let's race to see who can kill this one first."

It was actually a boring task toying with normal humans who couldn't withstand his trivial attacks. Having an ascender as an opponent boiled his blood. This was the enemy worth his time. 

Not far from them, their superior was looking at them with a disgruntled face. "Tsk! These notorious siblings are playing again," the man who seemed to be the leader of the group muttered in an annoyed tone as he was looking at his two subordinates and the people who intruded the place.

Then he focused his attention again on what he was originally doing. He lifted his hands in the air like the others with him. The magical circle on the ground glows from bluish to a purplish color.

Miles wanted to say thanks to Jem for saving her, but she knew that it wasn't the right time for it. One of the enemies already made a move.

"Tsk!" The person with a large axe spat on the ground after hearing his brother's remarks. "Then it's too late for yahhh!" He dashed forward while dragging along the massive axe. He attacked earnestly.

"Uh-oh! That's foul!" With a gleam in his eyes, the man with a heavy-looking sword also rushed forward. Each of them has two rings shining on their arms and their hands were enveloped with a magical aura which Jem believes is ex-energy. These two were no doubt ex-humans like him!

Jem also summoned ex-energy and used [Fortification] ability to increase his weapons durability. Seeing it, "Jem!" Miles called out.

She understood the danger these two enemies brought. She shouted as she reached out her hands to Jem's back. Perhaps she wanted to tell him that they better retreat.. However, Jem's figure already disappeared before her fingers could even touch him.
