Omniscient POV
The monster stopped and stared at Alan. Its head tilted slightly, as if analyzing him.
Its mouth opened.
"You…"
Its voice was like a rock grating against chalkboard.
"Are strong."
The pipes on its head started to shake violently.
It let out a low growl that sounded almost like laughter.
The next moment, the special Elicoras Warrior vanished completely.
Its speed was far faster than before, almost as if it was a different person.
Alan opened a portal behind him.
The Elicoras warrior appeared there, sword ready to pierce his back—
But before the blade could strike, another Elicoras warrior appeared in front of him.
Yuna, who saw the scene, froze.
The monster behind Alan flickered and vanished, it had been an afterimage.
The real one was right in front of him, sword already mid-swing, aiming straight for his neck.
Alan couldn't react in time.
The monster's movement was so fast that Alan should have only just realized the afterimage was fake.
