[Neraxis's POV]
He still shook from what he had just done.
But if he hadn't done it, then she would've been killed.
Someone like Raines was no joke, even for him.
Back in the past, he was the only being who was as strong as Neraxis.
In the end, Raines died by Neraxis's hand, but in the process, Neraxis suffered nearly fatal injuries.
Now? Raines was likely S-rank or above.
Of course, the only reason he was so strong was simply because of his main skill, Puppetry.
"Why did you let her get away?" Raines asked, before pointing toward the Monster Warper. "Elijah here has already decided she should die, so who do you think you are to stop it from happening?"
"I'm not into your fanatical bullshit." Neraxis scoffed. "What do you want from me?"
"Getting to the point, are you?" Raines said, tilting his head. "You were the reason we invaded this city—a conflict. We didn't expect the Eternal Night to approach you first."
"That's what you get for being slow." Elijah commented flatly.
