Chapter 2572: Heavenly Reinforcements
Although Deytress had fled desperately all the way, using her tracking abilities whenever possible to erase some of her traces and make it harder for her pursuers to follow her, she had lost her left arm and been wounded in the back. After running for a day and a night, she was badly exhausted. So, at the border between Central Land's Ruluz and the Far East, in a field outside a small town, she was finally caught by her pursuers: a group of Warriors sent by the Organization, her former comrades.

Seeing the five Warriors—a clearly standard squad for hunting down Awakened—standing there in high spirits, seemingly well-rested and waiting for her, Deytress was utterly exhausted. She couldn't help feeling despair.
Now she finally understood why, despite being so careful and fleeing as fast as she could, she had still been caught and cornered here.
It was because she had spotted the Organization's "Eye" among the pursuers: Luna, ranked sixth. With someone who could sense Yoki over a vast range and from far away, even someone known as a "Tracker," even someone skilled at concealing her presence and covering her tracks, would have no chance of escaping her detection.

Looking at the squad before her, those five who had been waiting in comfort, she thought for a moment, then looked sadly at the greatsword in her one remaining hand. She had no choice but to give up and accept her fate. There was no point in resisting any further.
Of course, she still had one last option: release all her Yoki
