An Extra’s POV

'Is this really the way it ends? I can't do anything more than this?'

As the unfair truth rubbed itself in Asher's face, he felt the invincible being pull closer.

He could already smell the sulfur and smoke, and the heat itched his skin.

This was truly the end…

"Hm? Who's that?"

… Or not.

Anukus stopped before he reached Asher, his gaze focused on something in the distance—behind the crouching man.

'E-eh? What's happeni—?'

Before Asher could realize what was going on, he suddenly felt himself being pulled into something strange.

It felt like the world had become a blur, and everything became blurry, until—a second later—it was back to normal.

"H-huh?" He noticed that, somehow, Anukus was further away from him than before.

They had been mere inches apart before, but now it was more like seventy to a hundred meters.

'What happened? How did this…? I don't understand!'

Asher was still very confused when he felt a hand rub his disheveled hair.

A familiar presence suddenly washed over him as he took his eyes off the nightmare that was Anukus and looked up.

"S-Sir Ralyks…!"

The dark, intimidating mask and his glowing crimson eyes seemed to bring nothing but solace to the Asher.

Never before had he felt safer.

"I came as fast as I could. I hope I'm not too late." Ralyks said, his eyes on Asher.

The young man in an older fellow's body shook his head profusely.

"N-no! Not at all! Thank you for coming, Sir Ralyks!"

Somehow, the fear that had pervaded his body slowly became nonexistent.

It was soon replaced with a bright ray of hope.

"Good. Stay by my side, then. This will soon be over."

Ralyks and his confident tone did not at all surprise Asher. It didn't come off as condescending as well.

To Asher, the only one who could defeat the enemy who stood before them was Ralyks.

If he couldn't do it, then all hope was practically lost.

"He uses slash and flame attacks." Asher said, doing his best to relay whatever information he had managed to collect in his fight.

It wasn't much, but he hoped it would be useful to his savior.

"I can see that."

That was the response Ralyks gave.

It almost felt like he was grinning in amusement, causing Asher to laugh awkwardly.
