For a moment, the whole venue froze. The commoners present, the nobles, everyone stopped moving like time itself had paused.
The body hit the ground with a sick plop as the arrow vanished into thin air and the blood began to spread out on the ground, staining the knees of Azel and Rain where they knelt.
Azel's face was completely blank, his mind processing what had just happened in the span of a heartbeat however Rain was the complete opposite of him. She moved over to Martha immediately and turned her over with shaking hands.
"Saintess…"
The word came out in a whisper as she lifted her hand to the hole in Martha's forehead and began healing frantically, pouring everything she had into it.
The place had become a complete uproar as the commoners screamed and split apart in panic while the nobles like Sybil's older brother and even regular guards with Griffins flew into the air as they looked for the demon responsible.
