They were supposed to take Setsuna as a companion, but after encountering the Flame Emperor, Leolde  and the  co were stuck, unable to escape.

(Damn it! Glenn blocked exit ......! Even if   we  tried to escape, it would be ...... impossible unless  we did something about Glenn!)

 Leolde struggled to think through the worst case scenario, but there was nothing he could do. Even if he tried to escape, the exit was blocked by the Glenn .

 In other words, the only way to survive  here is to get past Glenn, but that's too difficult.

"......"

 

 Leolde feels that Glenn has not said a word  for a while , but he does not relax his guard.

 Monica approaches Leolde and  spoke up to him .

"Leave this to us."

"What are you going to do?"

"The three of us will  by the time . So--"

"No.  Her Highness has entrusted you to me as  her  most important men. I will bring you back alive."

 These words warmed Monica's heart, but she advised Leoldo to follow the orders given by Sylvia.

"I I'm sorry, Master Leolde We have been told by Sylvia to protect you, . So, please leave this to us."

 

But Leolde  grabbed her by the collar, and she let out a pitiful cry.

 "Ugh "

 

 Leolde pulled Monica behind him, feeling self-conscious about the fact that he was dealing with a woman.

"I appreciate the concern, but let  us handle this.""

"But!"

"You think you can't win?"

"That's .......""

Monica turns her head away from Leolde. Her reaction is like a mouthful. Monica's reaction was more telling than words could express.

"Huh. ....... Well, I guess  you out of my mind too."

"So, then, let us handle this.""

"It's just that I don't think I'm willing to sacrifice my  allies just to  to stay alive."

 At least Leolde was not willing to let Monica and the others who had traveled with him this far die. He wanted to live, but he could not sacrifice his subordinates and friends.

"Listen! I'll deal with the Flame Emperor now! You guys take  her Highness and find Setsuna!"

 Shouting powerfully, Leorde created a wall made of earth with his magic to surround him and Glenn.

 Siegfried and the others saw this and, not wanting to stand in the way of Leolde's resolve, escaped from the dungeon.

 The only two people left were Leolde and Glenn. They stared at each other without saying a word.

(I wondered why they were mute, but I thought  he  is wearing servitude collar. If that's the case, there's no need for idle chatter.)

 The collar of servitude forbids Glenn to speak, except for chanting and reciting magic names. The reason for this is because the emperor's idea is that he should not say anything unnecessary, and just shut up and follow orders faithfully.

 Leolde, who did not know that there was such a reason, drew the sword  from his waist and pointed it at Glenn . Glenn  did not move even though the sword was pointed at him. It is unclear whether this is a sign of comfort or a result of the slave collar, but there is no doubt that there is a tremendous sense of tension in the air.

(Even with a sword pointed at you, you don't move an inch or ....... I don't know if   he  can afford it or if he's under orders to do so. ...... I don't know the details, but if  he won't set it off,  I  will just set it off!)

 Even though he was confused by the eeriness of the situation, Leolde kicked the ground and closed the distance  with Glenn .As Leolde approached within sword's reach, Glen moved.

A sharp kick from Glen hits Leolde. Leolde quickly twisted around to avoid it. Once there, in an attempt to get away, Leolde  back-steps to open up some distance.

(If you are attacked, do you fight back? What kind of orders did the Emperor give you?)

 Leolde, who kept his distance, was puzzled by Glen's behavior. 

(Is there no point in worrying about it? The most important thing right now is not how to defeat him, but how to get through this. Karen and the others have probably escaped already , so I'd better go after them. Well, I don't think it's going to be that easy.)

 For the time being, Leolde doesn't think about what kind of orders Glenn has received, but thinks about how to escape from  this phase.

 At that moment, Glen, who should have never attacked before, went on the offensive. He shot fire magic at Leolde.

A lump of heavy fire that burns with melamella approaches Leolde. Leolde  has put up a barrier to prevent attack , but he is relieved that Glen approaches Leolde for a time being .

 Glenn slammed his fist down towards Leorde, who was probably relaxed after preventing the magic.

 But Leoldedoes not relax just because he has blocked  his  magic. In the first place, from Leolde's point of view, Glen is a far superior opponent. It's not like Leolde is going to relax at all against such a superior opponent.

 In fact, he is even more nervous than usual. It's no wonder. In the past, Leolde  has fought against higher-ranked opponents in basic training and matches,  but not in killing  fights .

 But this time is different. This time it was a genuine fight to the death. Glen  will kill Leolde  by order of the Emperor. Leolde  will resist to keep from being killed. At the end of it, he might end up killing his opponent.

(If you think about it, this is the first time I've ever had a serious fight with a superior opponent. ......)

 It's a cruel coincidence that his  has real  fight is with the Flame Emperor, the strongest in the Empire.
