The clearing was silent after the Great Root was healed, but everyone was just staring at the dead body on the ground. Fena was watching Nox, her expression clearly pissed but she couldn't do anything because of his power and the mark on his hand, while the other elves looked scared.
Nox just stood there with a satisfied smile, happy about his new levels.
Serian finally walked over to him, her steps unsteady and her body trembling because the murder reminded her of when she had killed Lola's sister.
"Why? Why did you have to do that, Nox? She was helpless, she was a prisoner."
'Here we go again with the 'why' questions.'
"She threatened you, and threats need to be eliminated, so I eliminated her."
"That is not an answer, that is an excuse for murder! We are not murderers, Nox, we are supposed to be better than them!"
'Better than them? What does that even mean? Being 'better' is what gets you killed.'
