Gared appeared in front of Lysette with incredible speed, but the muscles in his veins were bursting, spraying blood.
Still, the speed he had produced was beyond anything a third mantle, even a fourth mantle, knight could have done.
Lysette's guards were too late to react, and Lysette knew that she would not be able to evade or block the incoming attack properly. Yet before Gared's fist could descend, Lucen appeared in front of Lysette.
Despite not being able to see him, Lucen could pretty much predict his movement. Gared had reacted very violently at the word garbage, meaning with his last shred of consciousness, there was one person he would attack first.
Lucen did not hesitate for even a fraction of a second. He used RELEASE; his body surged with power, similar to Gared's state, but unlike him, this was a technique that could be controlled to a certain extent, and it did not induce madness.
The instant Lucen used RELEASE, the world around him seemed to slow.
