'Oh, no!'
Althea's expression turned to panic when she noticed Luca was about to stab her with a knife because it was already too late for her to dodge it.
Of course, it would have been a different story if she could use magic, but at that moment, she was like a non-awakener, so she could only watch helplessly as the knife approached her neck.
As Althea was feeling panicked, Luca felt a surge of happiness.
His lips curled up into a grin because she was about to die at his hands.
But before his knife could slice her neck, Ren appeared behind him and launched a surprise attack.
*Slash…
Luca's blood sprayed into the air as Ren's sword cut him in two, severing his lower body from his upper body.
"Ren?" Althea was surprised when she saw him because his group was supposed to be heading in the opposite direction from hers.
Ren said nothing and pulled her closer to him, putting some distance between her and the rest of her group.
"What?! Luca is a traitor?"
