"Run, I will stop him!" Judah declared firmly, taking a step forward to confront the imposing Apostle of Light. But as Karin shifted her gaze, she discovered that the reinforcements from the Order of Light had already caught up to them, blocking all paths to escape.
Escape seemed impossible. She nervously looked around and Judah, who also realized the dire situation, broke into a cold sweat, his mind racing for a solution.

The Apostle of Light's taunting smile grew sinister. "Are you done running? Surrender now, and I might grant you a painless death."
