"They attacked me first," Nox pointed out, his tone calm but dangerous. "Also, they'll probably bring more harm than good, so the best course of action is to kill them off."
The calmness and absoluteness in Nox's voice sent a biting chill through the spines of everyone present. His dark eyes, which seemed to stare at them but not truly see them, frightened them, making their bodies tremble and cold sweat bead on their temples.
Looking at the resolute expression in Nox's eyes, all the Valkyries felt that their deaths were only a matter of time. They subconsciously turned their pleading gazes toward Akira, knowing she was the only one who could intervene and save them.
Akira bit her lip, feeling the weight of their desperate stares. The Valkyries were one of the most peaceful races on Eos; there was barely any conflict among them, and the thought of such bloodshed was unbearable to her.
