Penalty: Death]
Nesrin gasped in disbelief.
Death?!
How is her life connected to Eugene now?
This quest made no sense!
A flicker of violet light appeared in Izekiel's hands, Nesrin had no time to form a strategy and instinctively decided to stand between him and Eugene. But as soon as this thought came in her mind, a sudden pain flared up her ankle and she stumbled and fell right into Izekiel's arms.
Right onto the deadly mana that has surrounded his hands.
Izekiel was stunned.
Nesrin's heart lunged when a cold paralysing sensation spread across her. Fear clawed inside, it was as if her insides were being frozen. Strength was leaving her body, but Izekiel held her firmly and lifted her in his arms.
