Clicking his tongue in annoyance, Phoebesius cursed his luck. He was close to breaking the Dimensional Barrier but thanks to Layland's arrival, the effort he had spent ended up in vain. He had to stop whatever he was doing and retreat, so Layland couldn't do anything to him. His choice couldn't be any more right.
Slash!
Although Layland didn't put much effort into attacking him, had he stayed where he had been, he would suffer a quite fatal injury.
"AAAACK!"
Frowning lightly, Layland turned to Mark whom he held like a broken shield. The failed Hero was clutching the halberd that was half-submerged into his body, trying his best to get it out of his body. It didn't work, sadly. What he did only added more pain to himself, which frustrated him even more.
Smirking lightly underneath his mask, Layland said, "Let me help you with it." Then, he yanked the halberd, causing blood to spurt out of the body of the Hero.
