In the next moment, Rakin's aura surged and he turned like a reaper with shining dark green wind.
Azeliz's expression changed. "Stop!"
*Slash!*
John's hand still holding his pistol flew up while blood spurted out like a fountain.
For a second, John felt a blur before an intense pain flooded his mind.
But when he looked ahead, he saw a familiar face closed in with his cut off hand flying towards him and sticking back.
Azelis grabbed his hand before using a skill, healing him.
Meanwhile, Rakin dropped his sword as a clang rang, his face pale.
"I'm sorry…I am truly sorry," Rakin said as he knelt, his head down. "I just felt threatened and instinctively used my Pet Monster's skill."
Using Soul Synergy and Pet Monsters' skills was not allowed in this duel ring!
The audience was dead silent before the talks began.
"Well, what's done is done. But who won?"
"I never thought I would see Rakin mess up like that."
"It's fine, brother Rakin. Mistakes happen."
