The Captain was alarmed at the sudden appearance of the mist that blanked his senses, reflexively bringing out his Invoked Spirit to guard himself.
His hands let go of their hold over Pilkan's, intending to first take a defensive stance and protect himself. After all, based on his expression, Pilkan was definitely the cause of the mist.
Therefore, being in contact with the other party was risky. Even though he wasn't aware of the other party's intentions, being a Captain of a merchant ship for years meant he had his fair share of experiences.
Unfortunately, even in his wildest dreams, he would have never expected his Invoked Spirit to be stuck in the mist the moment it was brought out. The suddenness of the situation caught him off guard, during which a spear pierced his throat, ending his life.
