Hmm, was their aim to injure this girl by making her intercept the duel? If I had not stopped and regained my consiousness I would have killed her and destroyed the whole place. Should I try to calm her down?

"Let's leave it to that. It was the fault of both parties so let's end this matter for now."

"I am thankful to you for being so considerate."

With cold eyes the girl looks towards Aiko and pinch his ear.

"Oww, ouch! What is this for? Izumi why are being so cold to me?"

"Nii san why are you always causing trouble? You are not supposed to treat other adventurers like that."

"This is related to your safety. I have to check whether they are capable or not. I can't trust other kingdom adventurers."

Aiko turns towards Lei and then with a smile on his face he introduces himself once again.

"Once again let me introduce myself, I am Aiko Kirihara and she is my sister Izumi Kirihara also the high priestess of Amano Kingdom. This all mess was due to our foolish king. I will deal with him later."

Seeing the blood thirsty eyes of Aiko, Lei tries to lessen his anger by showing to be unaffected by everything that happened.

"Oh I don't mind it. I was rather pleased to fight with you. Only few people can survive my second step."

"So that was really a deadly move! I am not going to let you win so easily next time."

"So back to the topic, the client you have to escort is the high priestess Izumi; so please take care of her for me."

Aiko looks with caring eyes at Izumi and pats her head. He got transported to Eldealam like Lei but his sister also got transferred with him. Fortunately they landed in Amano Kingdom where they met Ryujin who took care of them. Since Aiko got the power of hero and Izumi got the power of saint so they became high status nobles in Amano.

"Rest assuured we will keep her safe and complete our duty well."

Aria tries to cheer him up with a smile. She as something angelic about her that made people feel calm and happy.

"Hahaha! I think I can trust you both."

Saying this he moves out of the arena but before moving out he uses his innate skill [Restoration] that restores every damaged parts in the arena.

Interesting! a technique that can bring anything to its original state. If I were to create such a martial art I would have saved myself many troubles. I thought this world was weaker than my world but it is different.

Now that this is over let's see the person who has been spying on me.

"Who dare to control this king? Whoever you are if you don't stop spying me then you can say goodbye to your pitiful life."

Lei uses his voice transmission which echoes in the brain of the spy. The one who was spying on him and who plotted the fight between Lei and Aiko was none other than the King of Amano.

Hearing the thunder like voice he drops from his throne and shivers with fear. When Aiko enters the throne room, he finds him hiding behind his throne. Seeing him in such state he leaves the room and call for healers.

Did I really need to do that? But it was necessary to teach him a lesson so that she won't mess with me again. I have seen people like these in Tianwu Continent trying to take advantage of others. Meanwhile, Lei and others set off for the escort.

"Many thanks for not harming my brother sir Lei. You were using your strength but you didn't have any killing intent."

"You can feel my killing intent!"

"Yes it is due to my skill that can help me see if a person is malicious or not. I can't feel a shred of malice from Miss Aria; to meet such a pure soul is my blessing."

There was shine in Izumi's eyes which showed that she used to be a pious person in her original world too. Due to this trait of her she was chosen as a saint.

"But it was for Aria, didn't you see how malicious my soul is?"

"I saw it, a soul which I have never seen. It was so overwhelming that I thought.....nothing let's not talk much about that."

Lei was surprised to hear that someone can see through his intentions so easily. Only few people could read him like a book. He felt a little surprised, then gathering his thoughts together he started preparations.

"Lei so that's the final form of the technique you gave me. It is really overwhelming. Will I also able to use that someday?"

Aria was somewhat excited yet at the same time depressed. She lacked confidence since she was never able to even swing a sword; so for her it was obvious that she would doubt herself.

"For that, you don't have to worry. We all grow slowly, no one becomes powerful in a day. You don't lack resolve, what you lack is the belief in yourself. Trust yourself more. The high priestess is going to come soon let us get ready."

A group of six people including Lei and Aria was formed. The other four people who were going with them were all veteran adventurers, so the group looked pretty strong.

Hmm, they all look quite strong so nothing should go wrong and I don't think I would have to use my sword for now. Until someone as strong as me appears. Why are they so quite? I thought they would try to suppress me?

"Stop the carriage! Sir Lei, high priestess sama wants you and Lady Aria to sit on her carriage. Please could you comply with her request?"

Good thing! This carriage is for ordinary people so it was not comfortable for Aria and she was about to throw up. Now she should feel better.

"Yes, please lead the way."

"Thank you Sir Lei amd Lady Aria."

After getting on the carriage Aria and Izumi started talking ramdom about random things. Their conversation continued for a while. Meanwhile the four guys who Lei and Aria were earlier with sighed a breath of relief.

The journey is going smoothly without any problem. But it is really strange that we didn't even encounter any wild beasts nor bandits on our war way. Holy Shine Church is located near dense forests and this road is connected to those forests. Seems fishy to me. I should use my divine sense.

"Lei is something wrong? You look a little lost."

"Sir Lei did you discover something suspicious?"

Aria and Izumi looks at the meditating Lei and feel that something was troubling him.

"Aria and Izumi continue talking as you were doing earlier. Don't let them know we already know they are here and I will prepare for the battle."

Never did I expect someone could sense my divine sense. They are not be ordinary bandits, they are more like fully trained assasins from my world.

What is going to happen next? Are the bandits from Lei's world or is there some mystery behind it? Keep on reading to know more.....
