...
Seeing that Helena was in danger, Cruelty was stacked in a difficult situation where he needed to choose who he was going to save. He needed to choose between Helena and the other members of their group.
Well, the answer should be obvious. But he couldn't decide on it right away since they need those experts to at least have a little chance against these three monsters.
Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to make his choice since Leonard's battle-axe was already upon Helena, threatening to cleave her in halves.
Cruelty quickly disengaged from Arthur and immediately created some space between them so that he could cast his spell uninterrupted. After that, he immediately formed a couple of signs with his hand before casting a defensive spell on Helena.
Then a huge water bubble suddenly surrounded Helena and protected her from the descending battle-axe.
Bang!
