The incident happened very suddenly.
So suddenly that Lann found it somewhat absurd.
Ubank was dead.
His neck, as he fell, happened to get caught on the spine of that hefty commercial tome.
The force from the weight of his over 100 kilogram body directly snapped his cervical vertebra.
When he fell, Lann noticed it, and Alia saw it too, but neither of them paid any attention.
Not only did they not care, even Ubank himself didn't care!
Apart from a moment of instinctive panic when he initially lost his balance, Ubank didn't think he'd suffer any mishap from a mere fall.
Until his neck hit the book spine and made a crisp "crack" sound.
It was only then that Lann's hand, which was lightly resting on Alia, suddenly stopped, and he abruptly turned to look at him.
And at that moment, what the Demon Hunter saw were just his gradually dilating, bewildered eyes.
"...What the hell!"
Even for someone like Lann, who strives for calmness and precision in combat mode.
