Delta reached for the sword at his waist but then stopped.
Shizaki shook his head, as he had hoped to avoid fighting the villagers, but he held his breath and summoned small amounts of mana for [Turbulence], making his eyes light up in a white color as he prepared, not to attack, but to defend himself.
Yukino stepped back, closed his eyes and hoped for the best. Getting too close to the action would cause an overdrive of [Premonition] with physical attacks aimed at him.
King could only look on in shock.
Delta closed his eyes and laughed heartily as his hands retreated from his sword.
"Hahaha, kidding! I'm not about to kill innocent villagers. I'm not that heartless."
"Huh?"
A tense silence ensued, after which the villagers exchanged glances at each other while Yukino and Shizaki sighed in relief.
"However…."
He sped past the leader in front of him, not before sending a direct punch to his abdomen and sending him flying.
