– Frey Starlight's Pov –
"Ghost…"
My assassin friend appeared before me.. battered, bruised, and in a terrible state himself.
But seeing him brought a fleeting sense of relief to my heart, a fragile joy laced with worry, as I was still clueless about what had happened to the others…
"I knew you wouldn't die, Frey."
Relief washed over Ghost's face as well, revealing an expression he rarely showed anyone.
"I won't die, my friend. Be certain of that."
In this vast universe, I'm the last person they should be worried about when it comes to survival.
Ghost was glad to see me, but his eyes lingered on the field of corpses behind me. That's when he finally asked, puzzled—
"Was this your doing?"
With the Nameless mask now hidden, I didn't even glance at the carnage behind me. I simply looked forward.
"I repelled one of their armies here. It bought us some time… but we need to move. More will be coming soon."
