The eyes of the unconscious Great Knight opened wide out of nowhere.
But the revealed black pupils lacked any signs of vitality and intelligence.
They looked empty, as if belonging to a puppet.
However, this didn't limit the captain's movements.
Another shrill cry came from the insect curled in the Life Seed, and the captain shot up.
His Life Force poured into his hand and transformed into a long sword, which he swung in Liora's direction.
Clearly, the captain, or to be more accurate, the insect, had noticed the threat brought by Liora.
With no hesitation, it decided to wipe this potential enemy out before she could truly threaten it.
The captain's actions were unexpected, but they didn't catch Liora off guard.
She had remained alert ever since the alarm bells rang in her heart, waiting for something like this to occur.
Thus, facing the sudden sneak attack, she reacted swiftly.
