The icy blade of the sword came slashing towards him.
Faliagni stared blankly at the sword edge before him, and for a moment was utterly unable to react. He had never imagined that a human could sever space itself, preventing his escape. And by the time he realized what was happening, it was already too late.
Could it really end like this for me? To die by the hand of a human? Is this how it ends?
"Master!!"
Just as Fang Zheng's sword was about to cleave into Faliagni's body, the tattered rag doll that Faliagni was embracing suddenly let out a scream, and then it leapt out of Faliagni's arms, using itself as a shield against Fang Zheng's sword edge!
"No———Marianne!!"
As he witnessed this scene, Faliagni immediately screamed, his hand desperately reaching out to prevent the self-destruction of the rag doll. But it was too late—the Sky-Cleaving Sword carried a streak of silver light as it slashed down, cutting the doll right in half.
Master...…may you be safe...…
"Boom—————!"
