"Stand down, old fool! Accept the truth!" Alicia roared once more, parrying the old traitor's blow and forcing it into the ground.
After the WAA's sudden call, the WAA defenders, along with the Hadean Varsa elites and raiders, abruptly halted their fight.
Meanwhile, Grover suddenly snapped, his actions turning erratic.
Even though he was now alone in his futile struggle, he continued his relentless attempts to kill Alicia.
"L-Lord Grover, p-please stand down! T-This is Lord Hale's order!" a high-ranking WAA guard captain exclaimed, desperately trying to intervene in the clash between two peak-tier combatants.
"Never!! These bastards… these bastards killed my son! How could they be trusted?! Lord Hale has simply been brainwashed! I'll handle this myself and teach them a lesson!" Grover snarled, his voice laced with madness.
"L-Lord Grover!!"
No matter what the guard captain did, nothing worked.
