A secret deal

Rafer could actually see the fear in his fellow soldiers' eyes, however Longblade had entrusted him with the Cursed faction's safety while in their base. No one had expected Pure to value the humanoid Demi-god tier beast to the point they had sent out their second strongest fighter. Without the Cursed faction's help, Longblade and all of them would have perished, instead of only sustaining a few injuries.

"I understand all your worries, but Colonel Longblade is still the highest ranked soldier and leader of this base! The injuries he received were not from anyone of the Cursed faction. In fact, all of us owe our lives to them!" Rafer explained to Sergeant Till, as he looked back at the Demi-god tier beast and Sil, wishing the young boy had kept his mouth shut.
