While Vivian gaped in shock, Daphne's face became as pale as a sheet of paper.

Who on earth was that? How could they know about the Elysium snake whistle? It's supposed to be a secret technique amongst the high priests!

Daphne quickly placed two fingers in her mouth as she intended to summon the snakes back here.

At that moment, the piercing whistle that echoed in the air faded into silence. Amidst the horde of snakes, a tall young man emerged with a torch in his hand.

Immediately, Daphne felt a sense of total despair. I can't believe Kaiden himself has arrived at the scene.

“W-What are you doing? I'm warning you; snakes are regarded as Elysium's ancient ancestors. If you burn them, you'll never be able to reincarnate from the afterlife!” she shrieked at him like a banshee.

Even so, the young man did not even bat an eyelid. He merely tossed the fiery torch into the swarming horde of snakes before drawing a bow from behind his back.

Though the black bow looked nothing out of the ordinary, the nocked arrow caught everyone's attention.

The bright red color of the arrow made it appear as if it had been soaked in blood.

Utterly shell-shocked, Vivian could only watch on with her jaw hanging open.

“Ancestors? You must be joking! You guys sentenced me to death when I was ten years old. Right now, the man standing in front of you is Kurt from SteelFort. I have already reincarnated from my past life.” Without warning, Kurt drew back the string of his bow.

Promptly, a look of unadulterated fear painted Daphne's face. In haste, she whirled around and tried to run for her life.
