Shaan turned his head around and saw the one who had thrown the spear. A woman with long brown hair stood there—none other than Miss Khaya, the one who had taught Shaan and the other daemonists about the Noctis Gate.
'Miss Khaya? What is she doing here?'
"Miss Khaya, thank you for your help," the female officer said as she bowed deeply. "Without your assistance, we would have struggled to defeat that creature."
The injured male officer forced himself to stand and bowed as well. "Without you, that creature would have killed me. Thank you, Miss Khaya."
Miss Khaya walked toward the fallen lizard and pulled the spear cleanly from its body. "Stay alert," she said calmly. "Mutated lizards may still lurk inside this cave. We must rescue the remaining participants as quickly as possible."
"Thank you, Miss Khaya."
Miss Khaya's words made Shaan's face turn pale. 'Damn it… I need to find Chelsie and Nalira right now. They could be in danger.'
