"Master! W-What do we do!? That angel placed a terrifying bounty on your head!"
"Yes, I heard, Nol."
"If someone kills you, their mana core goes up by three levels!"
"Yes, I heard, Nol."
"There's also a white marker above your head, Master, and a gold one above mine! We're both going to get hunted!"
"Yes, I heard, Nol."
Having already resigned himself to this absurdity, Azriel looked away from the angel—and from Nol's panicked face—and directed his gaze instead toward Dame Selene, who remained frozen in place, just like everyone else.
Then Azriel moved.
He shot forward at a speed far too fast for the average human eye to follow, Void Eater already in his hand. His fingers tightened around the hilt of the katana as he swung it straight for the knight's neck.
"Hey! That is not allowed!"
