Venerable Brutus was safe for the moment.
The Bright Beam Prime expended a precious full-powered shot in order to preserve the life of an expert pilot that had already served his usefulness on the battlefield.
With the destruction of the Star Dancer, Venerable Brutus was no longer a valuable asset as far as Ves was concerned.
A part of him even felt it was a waste for the Bright Beam Prime to intervene in saving the Hexer expert pilot's life.
The intervening attack not only wasted one of the three powerful chances of the Bright Beam Prime, but also exposed its existence to the enemy!
However, when Ves glanced at Gloriana looking incredibly relieved after she thought that her brother was about to die, his discontent faded.
He did not want his wife to suffer the pain of losing a loved one. He had lost his mother early on in his life, so he knew how much it hurt to live through this kind of experience.
