123 Duck!

--(3rd person POV)--

"Is this the right way?"

Tristan asked Miller with concern as they walked down a worn path in the Underworld.

He wasn't worried about himself, but about Miller.

The area in which they were walking was a hub for criminal activities in Underworld. Miller was weak and Tristan didn't want to meet Mr. Pepe to tell him that Miller was attacked in this area.

Tristan walked at the back of the group to guard them.

He looked at the strongest person in their group, the demi-human mage.

Tristan wanted her to protect the group along with him. But he didn't ask her after seeing her pale visage.

The mage was frightened about what was going to happen to her.

All of them had seen how brutally Nathan tortured Vile reaper. What was worse was that after torturing and killing, he acted as if nothing had happened.

The mage, having tried to kill Nathan earlier, was fearful of what her future held for her.
