Chapter 20

Piercing through the explosions with a single strike to decisively sever the Witch’s neck. That was Lumen’s plan. The barrier blocking the attacks acted as a protective shield for the Witch as well, so for a flawless execution, it was better off gone. Therefore, Lumen had proposed a strategy where Van would withstand all the blasts while his own attack was being prepared. It was a plan predicated on one side’s unilateral sacrifice, but Van accepted it immediately. Not because he trusted Lumen, but because if the barrier protecting them was withdrawn, Cadel would be free to protect himself. It was for that simple reason.
