"Crack!"
A bone-shattering sound suddenly resonated from Joseph's throat.
His eyes rolled back, his hands on instinct clutching Terence's right hand while struggling desperately.
"Cough, cough...."
"Let go! Damn it..."
Two nearby priests jumped in fright. One grabbed Terence while the other hastily began to manifest a protective shield for Joseph.
"Terence!"
"Let go, Terence!"
"Unhand Lord Joseph immediately!"
Several of Joseph's companions also rushed over, two of them trying to pull Terence away while the others were holding Joseph, trying to separate the two.
"Roar!"
Terence roared again, his tall figure fiercely lashed out, sending three men flying.
At the same time, he violently swung his right hand, flinging Joseph off like a broken sandbag.
"Joseph! Listen here!"
"I, Terence, do not submit or bow to anyone's command or threat!"
"Cough, cough, cough...."
Joseph coughed violently, his body repeatedly flashing with the glow of healing magic.
