Instead of going to what he was sure would be his death, he rushed to the portal at the back of the small world and took a train out of the earthly battlefield.
On his way to the train, he said to himself with bitterness, "Fortunately, i don't need anybody's permission to quit the mission and leave. But i didn't think i would be leaving like this. Like a fugitive on the run."
When he thought of why he was leaving like a fugitive, he chuckled and said. "Nicely done, Loki. No wonder you agreed to go with me. You were ready to turn on me. I underestimated you."
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "You deserve this victory. But if I go down, I won't go down alone."
Meanwhile, Loki received a notification from the sect saying, "Congratulations, you have been appointed as the captain of post 419 on Earthly Battlefield E6-137 by Commander Amelia. This is a grade 4 mission. Do you accept?"
