"Ah..."
Just then, Cassandra suddenly let out a suppressed scream, followed by the frantic shaking of the skull on her chest.
The skull rubbed against the broken parts of Cassandra's breastbone, black blood flowing out as the entire skull bored into Cassandra's body.
"Quick, make your move!"
Roger felt an urgency in his heart, gripping the Steel Sword tightly in his hand, its green glow swirling as the terrible corrosive power from the Rebirth Egg activated.
But just as Roger was about to swing the Steel Sword, a notion struck him—he thought he saw a flicker of excitement on Cassandra's withered cheeks.
"Excitement?"
"Shouldn't it be relief?"
His momentum falling, Roger lowered the weapon in his hand.
"What are you waiting for!"
"It'll be too late soon!"
Cassandra yelled loudly, and accompanied by her shrill voice, her breastbone crackled with friction, the skull nearly sinking into her entire chest cavity.
