บท 482: Punishment

Suddenly, space warped and Ruri appeared next to the whale. With her, she brought Kaiyka and Loeus, who was awake. Loeus had been forcefully awakened by Ruri before her arrival, still injured and with a foggy mind, but he struggled to sit up and look around. He didn't fully understand what was happening, but he had a sense of what was coming and just followed along.

It was Ruri who uttered those words, her eyes pulsating with fury as she looked up. Beside her, Kaiyka had a cold expression but held a short, silver sword, ready to fight to the end without hesitation.

The whale glanced at Kaiyka and internally nodded. In moments of extreme crisis, people's true nature revealed itself; it could simply avoid that seemingly insurmountable problem. However, it cared for nothing else and was prepared to die for what it deemed right.

Ruri nodded, and space distorted again, bringing Corin and Vuard.
