บท 157: Noble savior

Cassian was too focused on cutting down the cultists swarming him to notice the massive red orb streaking toward him, blazing with destructive energy. A panicked shout from somewhere caught his attention, pulling his gaze away. He turned just in time to see Cassandra sprinting toward him, a silver spear in hand. Its tip was unlike any he had seen before—a crescent-shaped blade that gleamed brilliantly in the light.

To his astonishment, she swung the spear in his direction. Cassian froze, confusion and disbelief washing over him. 'Why would she attack me?' But before he could react, the arc of light from her weapon whizzed past him, slashing cleanly through the fiery orb behind him. The sphere split in two, its halves streaking by before crashing into the ground with a deafening explosion.
