The attack launched by Prince Janus was so fast that neither Tristan nor Serene managed to react before it had already done its job. The lightning bolt literally streaked through the air in the blink of an eye. It instantly hit and pierced through Astrid's chest. Blood splattered all around her before her body once again fell to the ground.
Serene, who was standing next to her, was dumbfounded by the unexpected development. She quickly regained her bearing and crouched down, trying her best to hold Astrid's life with his healing spell. Seeing the latter's pale complexion, she could tell that Astrid's life was gradually slipping away every second.
Meanwhile, Tristan looked pissed at the Forlorn Prince's action, extremely so. Having to see one of the reliable subordinates injured and on the verge of death would definitely upset someone who was patient, let alone Tristan with his temper.
