As soon as Franca's figure materialized within the cabin's ruins, she saw Lumian, behind Voisin Sanson, turning pale. His eyes gradually became hollow, and only the Sword of Courage prevented him from turning into a corpse or triggering his Mirror Substitution. Voisin Sanson, despite having his back to Lumian, raised his left hand, and an indescribable radiance quickly gathered within his fist.
Franca knew she couldn't passively wait for the Mirror Substitution to trigger. Perhaps Voisin Sanson's impending attack could bypass the connection between the substitute and the original, rendering it ineffective.
At their current distance, neither she, Jenna, nor Anthony could awaken Lumian or stop Voisin Sanson in time.
Even if they could, the threat from Higdon was even more imminent and closing in fast!
At this moment, Ludwig was the closest to Lumian and Voisin Sanson. He had just gotten up but still had twenty to thirty meters to cover before reaching them.
