Ru Amuh took a deep breath and stared at Astarte with fierce eyes There was no stopping that monster Ru Amuh would die here; this was an undeniable fact However, if that happened, this o and find his teacher’s party In that case, Ru Amuh couldn’t let Astarte leave in peak condition even if he couldn’t stop her He needed to at least hurt her a little bit—even if his next atteripped his sword and prepared to attack Astarte with his life on the line

“Stop it”

Then he heard a voice behind his back Noel, who had been protecting Abis, got to her feet Her eyes were full of resolute determination as she stepped forward As it happened, Noel had a si et hi the composed and rational hero she was, on the other hand, she knew that she couldn’t ensure Chi-Woo’s safety in their current situation Thus, even if she couldn’t directly ensure Chi-Woo’s safety, shethis place safely by re their present threat This here the difference between Ru Ahts lay—Ru Amuh tried to injure Astarte with his life on the line, while Noel tried to finish off theher life
