"N-Nick?" Ryo was stunned. "Why is he here? Is he perhaps the cause of this?"
He scrutinized Nick's hand, but there was only a branch in his grasp.
Even when he thought Nick could have not done that with just a branch, for it was a clean-cut, he believed he could achieve it with his capabilities.
After all, Nick was a Master in Sword!
And with two of his Aether cores already formed and one in the stage of the Liquid form, the probability of him being the cause of a disabled left hand was high.
When he finally had the conclusion Nick was the cause of it, his expression contorted into anger.
His right hand trembled as veins popped out, and reached for the spear behind his back.
Despite the person he directed his killing intent to was now on the ground, lifeless, he did not have any intention to hold back.
