The wound oozed the blood as she put her hands on it. There was something sharp which penetrated deep enough to leave a fetal gash in her chest. All of a sudden, the realization dawned on her. She got hit by the sharp black blades of the killer. Her instincts were right when she spotted the broken shards of the blades scattered around Nora's body.

"Nora!" Crystal called Nora's name. She wanted to check if Nora was responding to her voice. However, Nora was lying still. 

"Nora! Can you hear me? Please, talk." Crystal shook Nora's body, but there was no response from Nora.

This baffled Crystal when Nora did not respond back. She checked her vitals, and it only increased her concern for her. Crystal felt lost when she couldn't wake Nora up. She was still lying unconscious on the ground and her wound was bleeding.

Crystal tore a piece of cloth from Nora's torn outfit and put it on her wound to apply pressure. The back pressure technique had helped Crystal in stopping the bleeding. 

"Nora!!! I am so sorry that I got late. If I were here in time, nothing like this would have happened to you. Please, wake up! Please!" Crystal was guilty and blamed herself for not being here at the time Nora and Tiffany needed her the most.

She felt helpless and wanted to take Nora back to Russell's fort to get her treated. When Nora didn't respond after several times Crystal tried to wake her up, she assumed Nora had fallen into a coma. It could be either the impact of an explosion or blood loss.

Crystal wasn't sure what made Nora go into a coma, but she was worried about her.

Even if Nora being the most jealous one out of all ladies Nexus had claimed, Crystal never imagined any of them getting hurt and seeing Nora's condition only wrenched her heart.

Her fist curled up in frustration because she knew it was the killer who did this to Nora. he was the reason why these two girls were running for their life and one of them went into a coma. Crystal's temper rose, but she calmed down because Nora and Tiffany needed her.

Her priority was to take both the girls safely back into the palace.

Just as she picked Nora from the ground, Crystal heard a loud scream from the opposite direction. It was no other than Tiffany. Her heart skipped a beat. She knew Tiffany as a strong woman and there was no other reason than the killer for her to be afraid and scream like this.

Crystal had her body covered in goosebumps. Her thoughts fought for focus, so she put Nora's body back on the ground with safety. She would come for her later as Tiffany needs her now. She got up and spotted the killer approaching Tiffany from afar, but Crystal was way too far from her.

However, she jumped in the air and ran like a cheetah. If anything happened to Tiffany, there would be heavy consequences of the death. 

First of all, it would break ties with the Russell family, which means the down bringing the security for the palace. Secondly, there will be bad blood between families because Tiffany came to visit Nexus at Russell's fort.

She did not want any of this to happen, so she sprinted as fast as she could. Saving Tiffany Was her only goal at the moment, but it scared her that she wouldn't be able to make it and the killer would try to kill her.

The killer, with an evil grin, approached Tiffany while she was taking her steps back. There was no place to hide. Even if she tried to run from the killer, it would be useless because he would catch her before her eyes would blink.

A terrified Tiffany saw Crystal fighting earlier and wanted to help her by stepping in and fighting the killer side by side until the killer showed how much he was. No matter how good Tiffany was in her skills, she was no match for the enemy.

The killer starts to absorb the dark mana from his surroundings. The blades appeared out of his body and Tiffany stood fearful with the sight. She knew her end was near and there was nothing she could do about it. As she closed her eyes and accepted fate, she heard a familiar sound coming out of nowhere.

"If you touched her, I swore it would be your last mistake." The manly voice sounded full of warnings and there was no hint of mercy in that tone.

The killer got distracted and noticed a man running towards him on his horse. The knight in the shining armor was Reaves. Tiffany was utterly shocked to see her father, and she was impressed by it. The killer turned his head to Tiffany and began to run away from him.

The killer almost shot his sharp black blades on Tiffany, but Reaves threw a ball of fire at him. That ball of fire caused a distraction, and it gained Tiffany time to run or hide. Enemy noticed the power Reaves held wasn't ordinary, so he built his blood red wall to protect himself. 

Reaves had heard about the blood red wall when Nexus described it. Even Nexus was unable to break the barrier, which gave Reaves a concern.

If he didn't do anything to protect his daughter, she would be seen the next day. As he had sworn to protect her, he was willingly sacrificing himself to save his daughter's life. With all the strength inside his body, he created a ball of light.

The light appeared from it was white in color. The luminous ball glowed so brightly, it illuminated the dark ground with its glow. Reaves threw the ball at the killer.

However, the killer expected to be protected by its blood red cell wall.

The ball of light collided with the killer's blood red wall barrier. The color conflicted as the two surfaces collided.

The white light discerned so fast it almost blinded everyone looking into it. The collision appeared to give a shock wave and a sudden drop in temperature, indicating the shift of dominance in the area. As the dust settled back on the ground, everyone could see what exactly happened.

The ball of light successfully penetrated the barrier created by the enemy.

The barrier broke like glass on a windowpane. Pieces shattered on the ground. The ball of light was so powerful, it even passed through the enemy itself. Crystal raised a brow at seeing the skills of the chief of the town.

The enemy, who seemed invincible, had been taken down. It gave them a sudden feeling of being washed cold by them. The body in the darkness was flipping with radiation.

The ball of light which passed through the enemy's body had created a hole in his chest, making it a sea through the hole. Crystal gasped to see it. She couldn't believe her own eyes.

Reaves was surely a master, there was no denying in it. Or was it the love between father and daughter? There was no power above love. For now, everyone believed that it was over.
