"Enough, you two!"
Another voice struck through the chaos like a hammer hitting metal. The force behind the voice made both Rein and Adele fall silent. Their chests rose and fell as the dust settled around them.
From the darkness, a vague shadow began to move. The figure slowly stepped forward until it took the shape of a human. Only the outline of his body could be clearly seen in the dim light.
"The Abyssal Sect isn't filled with mindless idiots. We moved, taking the possibility of failure."
The moment he said this, Rein's eyes narrowed deeply. He looked at the man with a grievous expression, his jaw clenching so tightly that the veins in his neck trembled. After a long moment, a bitter laugh escaped from his lips.
"So this is it? This is it?" Rein muttered, his voice shaking with disbelief.
"I really became a scapegoat. Can't believe that I out of everyone had become a fool."
He laughed louder, the sound echoing through the ruined cave.
"Hahahahah!"
