Nolen turned nervously, but at that moment Hert had already materialized, holding a radiant Ethereal Blade in his hand, slashing at the guards and swinging a blow towards Nolen's head.
Evading swiftly, before Nolen could pursue, the structure above his head collapsed under Hert's strike, large chunks of metal falling down, leaving only a few gaps.
Such obstacles couldn't restrain Nolen completely, but they slowed him down enough for Hert to wield a blade that could kill everyone.
The leading guards couldn't even retaliate before their flesh shattered under the Ethereal Blade's slash. Lula and another guard dragged Gold forward, warm blood spraying onto their backs, soaking through their clothes.
A strong murderous intent pierced Lula's spine. She knew she couldn't escape Hert's pursuit. Gold was about to die, which was originally Nolen's bargaining chip to save Hert, but now it had become like this.
