The young woman, Sirina, had indeed recognized Aksai from afar.
She raised her voice as she ran toward him.
"Expert Aksai, what… What are you doing here? Come with us! You might get killed by our enemies!"
Although she spoke out of worry for Aksai's safety, her words had the opposite effect.
Ren's attention snapped toward Aksai at once. His eyes narrowed as he took in Aksai's presence. To him, it looked like Jaya had brought in outside reinforcements.
"Kill him," Ren said coldly.
He shot forward with his movement technique, his followers rushing behind him with drawn weapons, their killing intent sharp and hungry for blood.
Aksai frowned as he watched Ren's supporters rush toward him, their weapons already drawn. Threads of Spirit energy flickered around their hands and blades, showing that they were only moments away from unleashing their Spirit spells.
