Emily immediately turned around. The cold fury on her face vanished instantly.
"Alice? How are you feeling?" Emily quickly checked Alice with worried gaze, her expression no longer frigid with cold wrath.
Alice had already returned to her human form and changed into clothes from her spatial ring. Earlier, Lume, the Abyssal Trickster, had hidden her transformation using illusions while also blocking the livestream from seeing it.
Afterward, Alice had immediately used healing skills on herself. Most of her injuries were gone now.
Still, exhaustion remained visible in her expression.
"I'm okay," Alice answered quietly.
Then her gaze shifted toward the trapped Mistborns before returning to Emily.
"Let them go."
"But—"
"They were doing what they were supposed to do. This is still a competition," Alice interrupted gently.
Alice understood the situation clearly.
She had been the weaker party. Even so, she stubbornly blocked the Mistborns and attacked them anyway.
