Putting some distance between them, D-One was shaken to the core after that close brush with death.
His eyes couldn't help but flick toward Aron, whose expression had shifted into one of clear annoyance.
Everything had happened too fast, mere seconds, and death had almost claimed him.
> I told you to study him and not let rage cloud your judgment! He's too weird!
The same female voice from earlier echoed in his mind, scolding him harshly.
> You should know this by now. Your "infinite lifespan" and "limitless mana" aren't free. My life is tied to yours! If you die, so does this world and everyone in it!
"Relax. Nothing's going to happen to me," D-One replied coolly. "He just caught me by surprise."
> Don't give me that shitty excuse! Even though he killed your brother, so what? In the grand scheme of things, he could've been a great asset to us. But since we're already past the point of no return, don't hold back. Kill him as quickly as you can!
