Nemo realized what had happened even before the sword fragments touched the ground.
Lina had received this sword from her father, and Nemo knew how much she treasured it. He realized that the sword meant much more to her than just a weapon.
Yet she unhesitatingly exposed him to a blow meant for him to protect him.
Blood gushed from Lina's punctured shoulder. She was thrown to the side, and a fragment of her blade, spinning, flew in front of Nemo's eyes.
Something snapped inside him.
Fear, guilt, and rage swept over him at the same time, sweeping away the last barrier. His Soul Force shuddered and burst out.
Supervisor looked at Lina differently for the first time.
She changed her mind.
But the result remained the same.
Nemo began his breakthrough to the Diamond Rank.
His aura exploded, freeing him from the ice-cold energy that held him down.
However, Nemo wasn't bothered by that at the moment. His gaze was fixed on Lina.
