{Hint Prompt: Marcus has already used Berserk, and Nikolai can't use Shadow Paralysis for thirty seconds. Now is the time to attack!}
[As if to confirm your instincts, a hint prompt appeared which indicated that it was indeed the right opportunity to strike.]
[Without any hesitation, you dived down from above, zooming below, and in just a split second, the heads of Nikolai and Marcus were separated from their necks.]
[After you remove the burden on their shoulders with your blood blade, you quickly store their corpses and blood into your system inventory, leaving almost no visible traces aside from those made by Marcus and Nikolai's battle.]
[After you obtained the Spirit Manifestation Core, you didn't hesitate to deactivate your multiplied avatar, returning your focus to your main body in Zenith.]
[Just as your multiplied avatar disappeared, a Spirit Avatar Master from the Association had appeared, bewildered by the sudden turn of events.]
