Jisha's eyes widened as she looked at Nolan, her face filled with fear.
"B-But what about you?" she asked, her voice trembling.
"Don't worry about me," Nolan replied firmly. "Take Alicia and run. Melissa is too powerful—you'll only get in the way. Go with her. Now!"
Jisha clenched her teeth in frustration. Her eyes flicked to the soldiers, who were clearly struggling against Melissa. She was far stronger than any of them.
Without hesitation, Jisha wrapped her arms tightly around Alicia and snapped her fingers.
Whoosh!
A bright green light enveloped them, and their bodies began to fade, slowly turning transparent.
"No! I don't want to go! I want to stay with Father!" Alicia screamed hysterically, thrashing in Jisha's arms but unable to break free.
Jisha only held her tighter—until, finally, both of them vanished from sight.
"Phew... they're gone too," Nolan muttered, exhaling in relief.
He turned to Orlan, who now wore a rare serious expression.
"Argh!"
