Damien's abrupt action shocked every single person there.
"What do you think you're doing?!" Shouted Yin Jian. He and Qin Huo had a relationship akin to brothers, and seeing him die without suspense like this threw his logical thinking out the window.
"A foreign mana invaded his mind. He was already gone before I killed him," Damien replied indifferently.
Just before Yin Jian could charge at Damien, Xiao Zhen stepped in. "Stop. I would have made the same call."
"But…!"
"Don't say anything and think clearly. You saw his eyes and you heard the guttural sounds that came out of his mouth. It's clear that Qin Huo wasn't himself anymore."
"But we could have saved him!"
"No. You are aware of the kind of enemy we are facing. And this isn't the first time this has happened. Recall the last time someone insisted on saving the person instead of killing them and then try to convince me."
