Axel's heart tightened inside his chest.
He saw Elira smiling devilishly, the kind of smile that she never wore or will ever wear.
It was an unhinged one.
However, as her eyes changed color into bright golden—he realized who he was facing again.
"L- Lucivar…? Is that you?" A mumble escaped his lips.
Even though his mind hadn't fully grasped who this Elira was, that name already came out of his lips.
Realizing that something was wrong, the Goblin Hybrid moved to grab Elira but he was a second too late. Viciously, Elira grabbed the jaw of the gangster to his right and ripped it completely before freeing herself, landing a safe distance away, several steps behind Axel.
A golden sphere dropped to the ground from the gangster's death but Elira's focus was on Axel.
