"What was he thinking?" a Circle Warrior standing near Lumine asked with clear disdain as he watched Cassian get overwhelmed by the barrage of spells. "If he wanted to commit suicide like that, he should've just drowned himself…"
Many others shared the same thought. What Cassian had done was completely reckless.
"Captain Peter is strong enough to jump onto an enemy ship first," another warrior said. "He's only First Circle. What did he think he was going to achieve by doing the same?"
Wanni and the others didn't argue back. The men were right. More than anything, they were furious at Cassian—but at the same time, worried.
He had taken far too many direct hits.
And once the barrage finally ended, what remained was Cassian's body—burned, torn open with holes through parts of him, shards of stone and ice still embedded in his flesh.
