Meanwhile…
"Rufus!" Lilou landed on the ground near Rufus.
Rufus turned to see Lilou. Around them were scattered unconscious undead, who had been cleansed by Rufus. Lilou went there as soon as she saw the light and when she arrived, the light disappeared.
"You're alive," was her greeting, heaving a sigh of relief.
"Did you think I was dead, Madam?"
"Well." Lilou straightened her back, huffing. "I felt very anxious earlier. It was as though Sam was in danger, but I guess I was simply overthinking."
"I see."
Lilou arched her brow upon seeing Rufus' reaction. "What is it, Rufus?"
"Nothing, Madam. I just thought you might not be overthinking."
"What do you mean?"
"Master might have been in danger because I also felt it." Rufus's expression turned solemn, setting his eyes on the people scattered on the ground. "Minutes before you came, I felt something strange. For a moment, I felt like my life would end."
