An Extra’s POV

Crippling fear.

The kind that prevents your body from moving. That was what currently affected the three who watched the horrors their classmate was experiencing to save them.

Despite seeing his sacrifice, they could not move.

Logically speaking, there was no use running away. Their opponent was a Spatial Magic User who could instantly appear before them no matter where they ran to.

Plus, they were also physically exhausted after everything that had happened.

However, those weren't the reasons why they could not move.

It was simply fear.

The fear that caused one's legs to stop working and shut down all motor functions; that kind.

Even as the personification of inevitable suffering neared them, they could not move in the slightest. These were no longer the fearless saviors of the world, the champions of humanity, not the hope for the Alliance.

"The only reason you're still alive is because I haven't been ordered to eliminate you. If you push me, I'll end your lives right here and now."

His dangerously cold eyes told Trisha that he wasn't messing around. Her shivering body could not stop its trembling, and she closed her eyes in surrender as she did her best to stifle her sobs and scream.

"That's more like it." Ser'ith said, removing his hand from her mouth. "Just grovel in fear like that."
