Boom!
A thunderous explosion erupted in the area, Azariah's body slamming hard against the ground.
His hands gripped tightly around both Tiffany and Willis, shielding them with the help of his wings.
"Huff... Huff..."
His ragged breath echoed through the garden as he looked around.
Wherever his gaze landed, everything stood still, unmoving like statues.
His uneven breath calmed down a little, his gaze settling on the girl kneeling.
A sense of relief washed over him as he looked at her.
[Only 4 seconds, Az. Run away!]
El's voice abruptly jolted him awake, and his wings propelled him up from the ground.
At full speed, he rushed towards Ashlyn, picking her up just as his awakening ended.
Turning around, his gaze landed on Roen, who stood still.
A desire to kill him right there flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook the thought away.
'Now is not the time.'
