Awakening

"Sonia!"

Gazing at the pale young lady lying in a pool of blood, Lilian yelled, pounced on her, and extended her trembling hands. All she felt was warmth fading away from her body. Blood flowed out of the young lady's chest, smearing the ground in red. Lilian raised her head in a daze. The ball of white flames in front of her extinguished all of a sudden and three to four soldiers clad in white robes and armor appeared from the darkness. They were like ghosts. Despite the area being brightly lit by the surrounding torches, the air around them was dark. One of them was burned from head to toe and was seemingly miserable. It was apparent that he was the one who ambushed Sonia.

Lilian shivered at the sight of them. She knew who they were. Before leaving Casabianca, Sonia once told her that they were Nakvard's subordinates. They were incredibly strong and she couldn't defeat them. Lilian didn't expect to meet them here…

"Sir! Sir!"
