The sword light swept through the night, flashing white across half the sky.
That strike from Rosen came unexpectedly to all saints, who had thought given the Order Knight's calm and friendly tone, he might be attempting to appeal to An Su's sense of comradeship. They hadn't anticipated a direct assault.
It was a ruthless and tricky sword move, one Rosen had put all his might behind.
He was well aware of the stakes involved.
As far as he was concerned, An Su had to be eliminated.
He couldn't let this opportunity, so close at hand, slip by.
Otherwise, he would remain the one with the greatest contribution from the three border areas.
Even if he were to stab a saint in front of everyone, he could later explain that An Su had fallen and became a Cultist first, and his sword was wielded in defense of the Order.
After An Su's death, all of his memories would vanish, and naturally, he would not know who killed him.
