The quartet looked behind to see the source of the cry, only to see the infant Draco being held roughly in the arms of an old man with a goatee and long black hair. He held a dagger close to the baby, putting pressure on it to try and stab the infant, but a black barrier manifested around the infant to protect it.
"MATTEO!" Dante roared like a wounded beast, his sanity slowly disappearing in front of the sight before him.
Lilith was more straightforward, screeching like a banshee as she charged forward to try and tear the fellow apart, but Elder Matteo simply grinned and manifested his own lesser God Serpent to blast the weakened Lilith away.
Fyre and Dominic were stunned for different reasons. Fyre because she never expected there to be a traitor in their clan who had been hidden all this time, and Dominic because he never thought Matteo would be so crazy, even though he knew the fellow was a traitor.
