The moment Getmwa Joshegiquat, with a shift in his gaze, began to face off against Seraphine with determination was right after I collapsed.

It seemed his previously hesitant attitude had transformed completely after Seraphine’s transformation into the Demon King had begun.

Thanks to that, even though the battle shifted from three-on-one to two-on-one, the situation looked much more favorable. It seemed I didn’t need to get back up and join the fight.

“…Hah.”

Taking a moment to collect myself and look around, I saw that everyone’s condition was far from good.

While Luke appeared to be in the most dire state outwardly, everyone else didn’t seem to be in much better shape. Ethan had a deep wound in his shoulder from Luke’s sword, and both Agnes and Antonio had collapsed after inflicting severe injuries on each other.

…Having not witnessed the entire battle, I couldn’t be sure, but perhaps one of them had lost the will to fight and pretended to collapse along with the other. No matter how much ideological differences might push them to clash, it was hard to imagine one of them genuinely trying to kill an old lover.
