At Francis' instructions, the group did not proceed and watched the scene in horror.
From behind Raven, Francis' voice reached his ears.
"I have no use for the girl anymore."
He then locked his gaze with Raven.
"But you on the other hand…"
The moment those words left Francis' mouth, a chill ran down Raven's spine.
"...An anomaly."
"...!"
'An anomaly? What is he talking about?'
Ba… Thump! Ba… Thump!
Raven's heart pounded in his chest as Francis' cold eyes bored into him.
The others in front of him shifted uneasily, watching him in horror.
They couldn't move.
They couldn't help him.
If they did, who knows what might happen to Raven.
"What—Ukh!"
Francis' grip on his neck tightened even more.
"Your abilities, your very existence...it's all wrong. A defect in the universe itself."
Raven's mind raced.
