The Legendary Man

As Stellario spoke, he saw Jonathan sinking into the ground.

His eyes widened while staring at his feet. “You know how to execute Earthly Escape?”

“A little,” replied Jonathan as his descent into the earth continued. “I don’t think those bugs know how to do this.”

Stellario glowered at Jonathan, who sank into the ground with an innocent expression. “If you know how to do that, why did you come back and mess with me?”

In response, Jonathan shrugged. “There’s still a few hundred meters before they arrive. Instead of wasting your time on complaints, you should start running.”

Stellario shifted his attention to the rapidly approaching cloud of bugs. The anxiety in his eyes slowly calmed down.

“I’m open to the idea of collaborating, but you need to return my knife first,” demanded Stellario as he stretched his hand toward Jonathan.

While that blade wasn’t a magical item, it was something that had been passed down in the Mallory family for a thousand years.

It was the symbol of the head of the Mallory family.

Stellario wouldn’t be able to explain himself if he returned to the Mallory family without the dagger Jonathan stole from him.

If someone learned of his blunder, it would be detrimental to him, especially because he was the future head of the Mallory family.

From his perspective, his request wasn’t outrageous. Thus, he believed Jonathan would return the dagger to him.

However, he underestimated Jonathan’s tactic.

“You don’t have the right to negotiate with me. Since you aren’t willing to work with me, you’ll die here.” Jonathan then submerged into the ground without hesitation.
