The appearance and words of Biba Amatori and the others.
Eased the nearly frozen, oppressive atmosphere in the area somewhat.
Brimir, possessing Louise, realized from their expressions and tone.
That this man called Laskey, whether in status or strength, should outrank Biba Amatori.
Of course.
It was mainly Laskey's imposing presence and the sharp gaze he cast over that gave him an unprecedented sense of pressure.
What was more.
The two black-clad men behind Laskey.
Each radiated an overwhelming aura no weaker than Biba Amatori's.
One of them looked fairly normal in build, a dark-skinned man aiming a sniper rifle at him.
Logically, something like a firearm should not have posed any threat to Brimir.
Yet that pitch-black muzzle made him feel faintly uneasy.
The other was exceptionally huge, nearly three meters tall by estimation.
The exposed skin beneath his suit was covered in silver-gray fur.
A fierce, baleful aura bore down on him through those terrifying eyes without whites.
He clearly did not look like a normal human.
"You..."
Louise was about to say something.
But Laskey across from her had no interest in wasting words.
He trusted that Biba Amatori had already said everything that needed saying.
Why should he waste his breath?
As for introductions, there would be plenty of time later!
In the blink of an eye, Laskey turned into a streak of blood-red light and flashed before Louise like lightning.
A blood-red finger condensed from strength and Haki pierced toward her brow with a piercing shriek.
Fast, unbelievably fast.
Saito Hiraga beside her could not react at all.
And Louise, under attack, did not even have time to raise the wand in her hand.
She could only rely on her will to release the power within her body, forming a layer of white-glowing magical barrier
