Louis, Dalton, and Bazel were severely injured. They had underestimated the power of the two Sword Intent Scrolls that old man Lance had, originally believing that a single Sword Intent Scroll could release, at most, a dozen or several dozen sword intents. But who could have imagined that at the moment the scrolls burst, two golden miniature suns appeared in the sky?
The wraith Brandon probably didn't anticipate that either. If he had known that the burst of the two scrolls would conjure up two golden suns, he probably wouldn't have given Louis the chance to throw the scrolls.
No, he wouldn't have agreed to the appointment and fought against the three of them in the first place.
Wraiths hold their lives dear.
Their ultimate goal is to become true Undead.
Wraith Brandon probably hadn't expected that he would die in such a way either.
