"We don't have time," Darian muttered dryly and turned toward Painita, who was standing farther away, watching him with a confused look. "Attack to kill."
"Yes!"
Caliris replied energetically, activating the power of a Spiritual Technique. Aurix took a deep breath, turned toward the half-elf in the sky, and drew a golden spear.
"Kill me? Hahahaha…" the half-elf laughed dryly, trying to hide his surprise. His bow pulsed, releasing a dazzling light.
In that instant, Darian focused on him, and a strange light flashed in his eyes—then his consciousness was pulled into a distant past.
Painita froze. She could feel Darian's mind drifting somewhere far away—it was as if he had entered an illusion. Without hesitation, she unleashed her full power and rushed to protect him.
Caliris's eyes gleamed, and a terrifying soul power erupted from the void, locking the distant half-elf in place.
