Chapter 279: Desperate Counter
“I forgive you. I know it’s not your fault. The sword is making you act like this.” Aegis whispered into Seraxus' ear as he leaned in and gently nestled his chin on his shoulder.
“What the fuck? Let go of me.” Seraxus freaked out at Aegis’ embrace and frantically lost his composure, struggling free and pushing Aegis back. He managed to do so, though, then looked on at Aegis in disgust.
“Did he just hug you?” Zuon laughed mockingly.
“He hugged you, man.” Hajax joined in.
“Are you gay or something? I ain't gay, bro. Nothin wrong with that but, c’mon what the fuck?” Seraxus blurted out in disbelief, trying to recompose himself as everyone nearby watched with wide eyes of confusion, save for Aegis companions who seemed to be aware of what was going on.
“Yumily,” Aegis turned to face her. “I know it doesn’t make a lot of sense, but you’re his hard counter, it’s why he’s harassing you. You’re the only one that’s going to be able to stop him.” He explained quickly.
“Tch.” Seraxus sucked his teeth at this comment.
“Huh?” Yumily was dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before her.
“Allow me to explain.” Aegis quickly walked over to her voice-amplified microphone, but he was stopped by Seraxus as he dashed forward with weapons drawn.
