An Extra’s POV

[Moments Earlier]

Rebal found himself within his mansion in the blink of an eye, once again finding Ralyks' teleportation ability very strange.

It was just a moment before that he was staring at the bloodied corpses of Ralyks' victims, and yet… here he was.

'Sir Ralyks really is amazing.'

Nothing short of awe and dread currently enveloped Rebal as he thought of his savior. He had never met a man like Ralyk, and he didn't think he ever would.

'The Mansion appears fine, so I'm guessing Sir Ralyks' subordinate must have taken care of everything.' The man grinned as he began to walk.

'Where's Asher, then?'

Rebal knew his own premises like the back of his hand, so it didn't take him very long to locate his son.

He was seated in a pretty small lounge—one that Tëõ long sofas opposite each other, with a center table separating them.

"Asher, my son! It's a glorious ni—!" Before Rebal could complete his echoes of joy, he noticed something off about his son.

The boy was seated in absolute silence, his vacant eyes looking at the ground.

'He looks absentminded. He didn't even notice my presence…'

Rebal instantly knew something was wrong.

As part of his training, Rebal had taught Asher to be constantly aware of his surroundings so he would never let his guard down.

His son had followed this counsel, and Rebal always saw that he never let his guard down.

However, this night was completely different.

'I haven't seen him this shaken since his mother's death…'

Rebal drew close and placed his hand on Asher's shoulder.

"Uwaaaaahhhhhh!"

Asher's sudden screams frightened Rebal, causing both of them to recoil back for a few seconds, the former landing on the hard floor.
