"Sa akin lang, hindi ko pa alam, perong isang bagay ang sigurado ako. Ayoko sa mga traydor, kaya patutumbahin ko yung may palakol pati si Ryoline."

 
Kadaski's POV 

"Nix Q'mei is the name you are looking for." said the axe-wielder as she raises her axe high and swings towards us. 

"Tilemetaf-" 

"Save your mana, Phantom." I wasted no time to scoop her before dodging to the right.
Drago, Aviary and his team also jumped away from the direction of the blast. 

"I can dodge on my own." frowned Assassin as she suddenly unsheaths her dagger in attempt to slice my face. 

"Jeez! You're acting like a drunk person. Wala man lang salamat Kadaski?" I complained, as I refuse to put her down. She really looks unwell. 

"This sudden turn of events is exciting, isn't it Seniors?" exclaimed Ryoline as she orders her Mythical Serpent to attack too. 

Nagpatuloy sa pag-paulan ng mga atake ang dalawang babae. Kagaya ng sitwasyon sa Cleopardia ay nagawa lang naming tumago sa likod ng mga crates at hintaying matapos ang dalawa, siguradong kailangan rin nilang mag-recharge ng mana mayamaya. 

"Nueva put me down. I can't fight like this." Phantom stated as she wiggles her way off of my arms. 

"You are wounded. Siguro hindi ka naman tanga para sumugod sa ganyang kalagayan." kunot-noo kung sabi sa kaniya. 

Sa gitna ng ingay ng mga pagsabog mula sa atake ni Ryoline at Nix, at mga pagpaplano nina Aviary at Drago sa kabilang bahagi ng backstage, isang mahinang buntong-hininga lamang ang narinig ko mula sa Wind Enchant. 

"I'm not an idiot like you. Wala akong sinabing susugod ako papalapit kay Nix, kahit anong ibato mong elemental attacks ay walang bisa sa kaniya. I was trying to get away from her all this time." paliwanag ni Phantom. 

"Did you just call me an idiot?!" I frowned, how dare she insult me after I saved her. 

"That's what you heard? Alright, that proves it. Anyway, I don't like working with you, but Drago is a couple of meters away from us. The least you can do is be useful to me." stated Phantom as she squints her eyes. 

"Sa tingin mo talaga ay makikipagtulungan ako sa'yo pagkatapos ng mga pinagsasabi mo? Puntahan mo si Drago kung wala kang tiwala sa lakas ko." naiinis kong pahayag sabay bitaw sa kaniya.

Nagulat ako ng biglang ipatong ni Phantom ang kaniyang mga braso sa mga balikat ko.
"Wh-what are you doin-ARAY!" 

Napa-igtad ako sa entablado kurutin ako ng magnanakaw na ito. "Para saan iyon?!" 

"Focus Nueva. It's not that I don't think you're strong-" Phantom's statement was cut mid-sentence when Nix' axe came slicing the floor between me and Phantom. 

"Come out rats! I can hear you very well!" shouted the axe-wielder. 

Mabilis kaming lumipat sa likod ng kalapit na box crate. 

"Ano pala?" nakasimangot kung tanong sa Wind Enchant. 

"I just think you're not very good when it comes to defending people. You can defend yourself well, but you never think twice before jumping into action. Masisira ang plano ko upang mapatumba si Nix at Ryoline. Two more things, you're loud and judgemental." Phantom simply shrugged after all of those. 

Anong hindi magaling sa pag-protekta ng iba? Matagal ko nang ginagawa ang trabahong iyan! Matagal ko nang pinoprotektahan si Drago, at dahil sa matiyaga kong pagbabantay ay hindi na kailangan ni Drago na mag-alala pa kapag kasama niya ako.
