"Creator" vanished from sight, and Klein vaguely heard Hobart say, "Praise the Creator."
Klein let out a sigh of relief. The matter had finally been resolved.
Looking at his other teammates, Hobart was in the best condition and had not suffered any severe injuries. Leonard seemed to have merely fainted, but Captain Dunn's condition was far from optimistic. Blood continued to flow from his chest, pooling beneath him.
Dunn Smith turned his head toward Klein. A gentle, relaxed smile rested on his pale face. "Tingen City has been saved!"
Just as Klein struggled to rise and use Ritual Magic to treat the captain, a pale hand suddenly pierced through his chest.
Even Hobart had not noticed when the one-eyed Ince Zangwill had appeared.
Klein stared at the pale hand as he gradually lost all feeling.
After falling to the ground, he saw Hobart clutching the stone statue and moving both Captain Dunn and Saint Selena's Ashes to his feet. "Ince Zangwill!"
Klein's vision went black, and he lost all consciousness.
Ince was slightly taken aback. He did not expect this Sequence 8 before him to recognize him. "One nuisance is dead, and there's another nuisance left."
Although his advancement had failed, he could still use the abilities of Sequence 5 Gatekeeper.
Hobart felt as though he were about to freeze stiff. He immediately opened his Spirit Vision and, sure enough, saw a towering spirit and another spirit floating in midair appear beside Ince.
Seeing the light fading from Dunn's eyes, Hobart swiftly made a choice and threw Saint Selena's Ashes at Ince. "Get lost."
Ince did not hesitate. He picked up the ashes and immediately left.
It was not that he feared Hobart. Support from the Saint Hall could arrive at any moment, and he did not even have time
