Adrian lunged at her suddenly, eyes filled with cold bloodlust.
She sidestepped just in time.
He stumbled, barely keeping his balance.
He was exhausted, weak, and missing one hand.
She could finish him easily now.
But she didn't move.
Her blade trembled in her hand.
Because she knew what killing him meant.
Adrian had been mentally corrupted. It was impossible to bring his sanity back.
If she killed him here, he would return to his real body in the real world.
And once the Exorcist Union saw his state, they would execute him without hesitation.
'This was planned,' Nisha thought, clenching her fists. 'Even if this was an emergency mission, it doesn't make sense that the Exorcist Union didn't send someone to pull him out before he lost his mind.'
'They wanted him to lose his sanity, so they could justify killing him.'
She ground her teeth.
But she didn't have time to think further.
Adrian's sword came swinging toward her.
She bit her lip as she watched him move.
