Chapter 285: How to Protect What is Precious (9)
Jordic couldn’t believe that Keter returned alive, but no matter how closely he looked, it was unmistakably Keter.
No, wait...
There was no need to look closely. Even at a glance, Keter was severely injured. His body was covered with severe wounds. A thick chunk of flesh had been torn from his left shoulder, and blood was still flowing out from the X-shaped wound in his chest. It was harder to find a place on his body without injuries, and the bleeding was so severe that a pool of blood formed at his feet in the blink of an eye.
Only his face looks fine.
Quite literally, only his face appeared unscathed. Below the neck, he was no different from a walking corpse.
It’s for show. He’s acting pretentious.
The look in Jordic’s eyes changed after checking Keter’s condition. The same was true for the others. Careful not to alert Keter, Jordic, Tesla, Gargan, and Zion subtly shifted their stances. Then Rajis ruined it all.
“At least fight while keeping your humanness.”
Turning his back to Keter, Rajis pointed his sword at the other four. Actions over words. Rajis had clearly learned that from Keter.
Jordic urgently shouted, “If not now, there won’t be another chance. Move aside, now!”
Keter was someone who remained fine even after being stabbed through the heart. His recovery was so extraordinary that it was visibly noticeable. Jordic had no intention of giving someone like that even a minute, no, not even a second.
Rajis knew it too. Keter was a powerful being who couldn’t be judged by common human sense, but it didn’t matter. That was precisely what Rajis believed justice to be.
