Just right before he could escape to his hiding spot. A sword made out of light appeared before him, hindering his movements.
The light sword seemed to look at him as he felt all of his hair standing up. Moreover, he couldn't process how they managed to find him, but one thing was clear and that was he was caught.
" Where are you going?"
A voice came out from the corner as Gilgamesh leaned on the doorframe with a serious face. Furthermore, he also spotted Thena who was holding her halberd with a cold face.
" Err, I can explain this."
His smug face crumbled down almost instantly whilst he gave up running. There was no chance that he would escape from here, so the most logical thing to do was to side with them before he got roughed up by a bunch of angry heroes.
" You have 3 seconds."
Then spoke coldly, looking at him with eyes that were saying he was dead meat.
" So basically..."
Druig started to explain from his point whilst others listened to his story. Especially Sersi who was kind, almost fell to his side but one man didn't give a shit.
Arthur just went before him with a calm face, grabbed him by his collar, and headbutted him with so powerful force that they heard a cracking nose from his nose.
Druig felt his nose was broken and he was right.
" No being should abuse their powers for themselves by using the weak. Your excuses are as pathetic as yourself."
He roasted him with a light tone. Others looked at him with wide eyes, thinking it was a little bit overboard but Thena and Gilgamesh thought otherwise. They agreed with him in this case as they allowed this to happen to him.
" Okay, I will join you. Now please give me something to stop this bleeding and heal this stuff."
Druig complained with a defeated face, raising his both hands to surrender while Arthur healed him. Both of them observed each other with different faces, not saying anything to each other for a minute.
" I see. In this case, I will help you, but you know you have to reimburse my nose fee."
Druig shrugged his shoulders, understanding his oblige to the people of this planet. While they were discussing this, something was creeping on them with a sinister face.
It was the deviant that almost killed by Arthur in their first meeting. He was aiming for their lives as well as revenge for himself as he touched the scars that were left by the sword. The burning feeling of flesh was still etched to his mind and he was looking forward to killing Arthur despite him being a soul.
" Wait!"
Suddenly, Druig who was preparing to leave, looked at the entrance with a grim face as he opened his mouth.
" It is here. I don't know how he managed to find us but he is here. Quick, protect the humans."
When he finished his words, Thena immediately flew out and Gilgamesh followed her from behind. Just as Arthur was about to leave, Druig's hand caught his attention because he was signaling him to stop as he pointed at Ikaris.
Something dawned on Arthur as he remained vigilant under other's eyes, waiting for Ikaris to move.
" If you are thinking you hid your gesture well, you are wrong."
Ikaris spoke calmly, looking at Druig with a sharp face.
" Damn it!"
Druig swore out loud, using his power to protect himself from a sudden attack from Sprite which surprised others.
" What the hell are you doing?"
Panthos couldn't understand why Ikaris was betraying them at this crucial time. As their semi-leader, he always respected others and protected them from danger but now he was giving them the cold shoulder.
" I am doing what I am supposed to do. Do you think we can escape from them? Do you think he can protect this place from them? When he died, the planet's heroes almost split in half due to their different ideologies. Moreover, humans seized that to use their power for themselves. Honestly, I am tired of them and I think I can't go against my creators."
He declared himself to be their enemy.
