*Phew*
"Well, that was surprising…"
"Xue, before you do anything like this ever again, do inform me beforehand.", Leo said.
Xue merely nodded her head.
Leo couldn't hide the fact that he was too worried for her safety and this for some reason, made Xue happy.
The real reason why Xue stayed behind to stop the attack was that - she was too kind!
It was not because she wanted to flex her power or something, it was because she was genuinely worried about the people.
She saw that the gatekeepers were trying to close the gate. If she had run as fast as Leo did, she could easily escaped inside, but what of the other people?
Should they really be left to die here?
She thought otherwise. She knew about her strength and thus thought that her attack would be enough to stop the big fire wave.
By erecting an entire wall of ice, she prevented the flames from even touching the walls and thus protected many from the disaster.
