"Traitor?"
Nicholas became fearless when Rufus started getting surrounded by the elves. He stepped forward and placed his hands on his face. He felt the contours of his face with his fingers before removing the Elven mask effortlessly.
Nicholas' look didn't change much except for his ears. However, the same could not be said about his mana signatures and his aura. He had changed into his original elf form.
"I was never with you guys, to begin with. Calling me a traitor doesn't even make sense. Hahaha."
Nicholas felt liberated when he removed the mask after such a long time. He felt like a huge boulder had been taken off his shoulders. He was also glad for the fact that he didn't have to go to LA and watch the young rankers' struggles on repeat.
