Rictor had been closely monitoring Rachel's every move, and when he saw her attempting to return to Owen's side, he snorted coldly.
A bubble of mana instantly enveloped Rachel, trapping her within it no matter how hard she tried to escape.
A glimmer of despair crossed Rachel's face.
Rictor's power was immeasurable, and with just a casual gesture, he had restrained her completely, despite her best efforts.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a gaping, fanged maw lunged toward Rictor, attempting to bite him, with sharp teeth exuding an icy chill like the onset of winter.
Rictor frowned slightly, and a solid earth-colored wall appeared in front of him, blocking the sudden attack from Seraphina.
However, Seraphina's intervention provided enough distraction for Owen to break through Rictor's barrier and pull Rachel behind him.
Rictor's face darkened instantly. "Owen, you broke our agreement!"
