Falk noticed that Willow was diving towards him, but from what he saw, it didn't seem intentional. After all, she was just going straight, so it was probably a coincidence.
Probably.
Falk did not let down his guard, though. He raised his shield and braced for a possible impact. However, Willow simply remained in front of him, harmlessly.
This strengthened Falk's belief that Willow was an ally. After all, she didn't even attack while right next to him.
Falk slowly moved his shield to the side, letting him see Willow. She wasn't looking at him, making Falk drop his guard.
Suddenly, his face twitched.
Willow disappeared.
And in her place was Apollo, charging forward at full speed. He pointed his bokken forwards as though he was using a rapier.
Falk had already cast his shield to the side and had no time to bring it in front of him. After all, Apollo was approaching as though he was a lightning bolt itself.
