Laziel didn't have a time to be scared, because as soon as the fox finally let go of his finger and focused on the crystal core alone, Cassias pocketed the crystal cores and dragged him to run.
"Bro, why are we running?" He was alarmed, sensing some commotion behind them that sounded like countless footsteps.
Cassias sternly shushed him, making him shut up. They proceeded to run as fast as they could. Laziel's heart trembled, and he nearly stumbled a few times from exhaustion. However, the will to live pushed him to run.
They stopped not long after. Cassias warned him. "Don't speak. Hold your breath."
They were hiding in a side passage, and behind them was complete darkness. Their hearts beat erratically, holding their breaths. Laziel saw from the corner of his eyes how Cassias was holding the detestable fox so protectively.
