As Evan's appearance began to change and a familiar face came into her view, Valery's mouth hung open and her jaw nearly dropped to the ground.
"You—" She pointed a trembling finger at him as her entire body shook with shock.
Evan nodded in satisfaction at Valery's reaction and smiled slightly. He didn't transform into his Eltharon form; instead, he chose his previous appearance before his evolution, making it easy for Valery to recognize him.
Just when Evan expected her to be shocked and ask what he was doing here, his expectations were shattered by her next words.
"So, it was you, you bastard! Couldn't you have dealt with that soul strand in a way that wouldn't have hurt my soul? It hurts like hell."
Hearing Valery, Evan stared at her with a blank look on his face, not knowing what to say.
Just a moment ago, she was clearly gritting her teeth to hide the pain, trying to act tough and now she was throwing tantrums about how much it hurt.
