As the surging flames raged, the already shattered arena suffered another heavy blow, teetering on the verge of collapse.
The Strong Knight was repelled from the flames, retreating explosively like a bullet, rubbing against the air as if being blasted away, his feet scraping across the ragged ground for a long stretch before finally coming to a halt.
The unharmed Knight was holding his Wide-blade Greatsword, staring intently at the center of the firestorm ahead.
There, Shane used the Holy Sword to part the flames and stepped out again.
At the same time, the man of kingly demeanor had also arrived by Luoqi's side.
"Are you all right, Luoqi?"
The man's voice was filled with concern and anxiety, showing his utmost regard for Luoqi's safety.
"Father?" Luoqi finally reacted, looking at His Majesty who had come to her side and then at Shane and the Strong Knight, who had entered a standoff, she exclaimed in surprise, "Wait! He is not a suspect!"
