[Bonus chapter] Double the Strength and Aura
Overwhelmed by Mintaka's words, Lerna felt a sting of tears behind her eyes. She swallowed thickly. She craned her neck to look at Rigel who was beside her and who was smiling. He nodded lightly to encourage her.
Lerna took a deep breath and stepped forward to bow to King Mintaka. As soon as she bowed, she heard a ferocious snarl and when she lifted her head up, she saw Okab with a wild look in his eyes. Like a maniac, he lifted his sword and charged at her to kill her. "I will kill you, bitch!" he yelled at her as he charged.
She shrieked at the impending doom. He was so close that it was impossible to save herself. But all at once she saw another sword landing on his neck, and it sliced through him neatly. Fountain of blood sprouted out of his neck, as his head severed from his body and rolled on the ground. His body took a step forward and then slumped on the ground.
