"…?"
"Invincible," Lucas whispered.
Golden lightning crackled around him.
In one swift motion, he pulled out the bow from his back and aimed at Neo's head.
Time seemed to slow down.
"I've been ordered to eliminate you."
Lucas released the arrow.
Neo, aware of the incoming attack due to his Death affinity, dodged by a hair's margin.
In that short moment, Lucas was already far away from him.
He drew the bow and smiled.
"I can see you did not defeat my Shadow through a stroke of coincidence."
"Why the sudden attack.
"You were listening to all my orders since the beginning. Was all of it an act to for this moment?"
Neo frowned.
"Indeed, I wanted to finish it with a surprise attack. But I failed since you are a wielder of Death."
Unlike what Lucas expected, Neo was calm.
He was not surprised by his betrayal.
"You seem awfully composed."
"Do I?"
Neo never trusted Lucas.
