Erik's hand got frozen on the glass doorknob after hearing Felix's loud scream.
He didn't spend even a split second to think why did Felix warn them to leave as he simply let go of the handle then bolted as quickly as possible towards the gate.
Malak who had absolute trust in Felix's judgment also did the same the instant she broke out of her daze.
Since Khodri and Malissa were half-lings, their instincts to danger were more enhanced than humans. So, the moment they started tingling, they were already preparing to move.
However, the moment they turned around, they were shocked to see that the gate was slowly closing down while Erik and Malak had just made it outside!
Scared shitless, Malissa unfolded her wings and flew rapidly towards the exit.
Meanwhile, Khodri had morphed into a four-legged dog amidst his running!
No one looked back or bothered to spend a single moment thinking of other squadmates!
