They had barely escaped Lightchaser's barrier when Rita immediately ran into another "familiar face"—Lania Kaia Wither Monarch.
The undead queen's health and energy were both nearly empty.
Rita didn't even glance at her and kept running, wanting to get away before that headmaster finished her current fight.
But unexpectedly, Wither Monarch began moving toward her and shouted in Owlet Tongue, "BS-Rita! Now! I'm giving you a chance to kill me.
"If you agree, I can use a skill to immobilize Loriden for twenty seconds. I know you definitely brought a movement skill. Kill me and you can leave right after.
"I swear I won't fight back. Just don't let me die by a hunter's hand. Don't let Dawn's invasion of Lania Kaia go up by two percent. I'm begging you—kill me."
Rita replied, "There's a deal like that?"
Even as she said it, she ran even faster and urged Y128 to speed up too.
