Ruin drifted along the abyss of despair with a blank expression. He had known meddling in the confrontation between his prey and Flos would result in something unexpected.
Alas, that something just happened to be his prey not even present in the ensuing confrontation but also Obstruction being present and using his domain before he, Ruin, could do anything.
Ruin could not help but let out a dry laugh as he muttered, "I never expected them to make such a move just because I appeared before them... ha~ the life of a famous person... truly a tragedy..."
After saying his piece, he sat in midair with his legs crossed and surveyed his surroundings.
I'll be needing a few more chaps to wrap this arc. So, I plan to upload another chap or probably a longer one after this.
I'm considering writing a full chapter on what happened to Malek's side that led to Obstruction using his domain. I admit that giving a summary of the events seemed lackluster when what happened could be considered a turning point in this arc.
But then there is also the battle at the Armakean Border, where Mo sneaked off and went back to Larkring, which is also considered a turning point, so instead... I just might write a special chapter about them as a form of a side story.
