An Extra’s POV

Chapter 472

It was checkmate.

Lux' Magic was potent and versatile, but for her to match the kind of power that Sebas was unleashing, she had to pour all of her Mana to restrain him—albeit barely.

As a result of that, she had no proper defense in place around her.

With Britta's swift motion, and the deadly power she wielded with the blade, Lux's survival without a defensive barrier was zero.

Britta was an Elite Swordsman, which made her practically invincible to most when it came to the blade. Her Skills her buffed her physical state and attacks to an absurd degree. Plus, since she was a Heroic Rank Adventurer, her Stat were not to be discounted.

If anyone could kill Lux as she was now, it would be her.

However, this wasn't the only reason why the current situation was a deadlock.

Even if Lux was fast enough to focus on her own defenses to stop Britta's attack, she would have to ignore the constraints that currently stopped Sebas from landing a fatal hit on her partner—who was just initiating a process of counterattacking.

If she stopped the Constraint now, Sebas—the much faster and stronger one—was bound to deal the first strike and probably finish Jet off.

Everyone knew what kind of state Jet was in, so it was very possible for a point-blank explosive assault from Sebas to end his life.

Hence, a difficult situation.

No matter what choice Lux made—if she could even make any, given the suddenness of the whole thing—one of the two would have to die.

The only question was who?
