If he left now, he'd be jeopardizing his position. After all, he wasn't officially the Fifth Apostle yet—one final mission still stood in the way of him being recognized as the Fifth Apostle.
Coincidentally, that mission was to capture a girl from the Spirit race. At first, he had assumed it would be an easy task. But he couldn't have been more wrong.
The girl possessed several strange weapons that allowed her to evade Rigot, his subordinate, again and again.
And now, a mysterious and powerful man was protecting her.
If this mission hadn't been directly tied to his promotion as the Fifth Apostle, he would have abandoned it long ago.
Rigot remained silent. He understood how important this mission was, but he couldn't hide his fear of the unknown man.
The aura surrounding him was terrifying—so much so that Rigot felt goosebumps crawl across his skin, as if he were standing before an ancient monster from another world.
