Nyissa was surprised that she was looking at her grandaunt, and all this time, she had been traveling along with them as Little Ghost in the guise of a teenage girl with a blurred face.
"How touching...the reunion between the wife and her husband whom she tried to kill, hahaha…" Borin seemed like he was enjoying the show.
"Enough! You know nothing!" Sae turned her head around and said in a cutting tone since each time she remembered what she did to Viktor, she would feel as if her heart was being cut.
Borin scoffed as he looked at Oben and said, "I must say Oben, your sister is giving us more trouble than welcomed. She escaped the last time, but this time I will make sure she stays and suffers before her husband. I am sure a dead person like you wouldn't still have any familial sentiments, right?" Borin stressed as he looked at Oben to know whether he would interfere.
After a moment of silence, Oben said emotionlessly, "What happens to her is none of my concern. She made a choice to come back here, so she will have to bear the consequences."
Sae's face flickered seeing her brother being so cold though she didn't say anything.
"Sae...you don't have to…" Viktor said with a complicated look, still trying to make sense of some things.
Sae mentally said to Viktor without turning around, "No, Viktor. I know no matter what I do, I wouldn't be worthy of your forgiveness. But this is the least I should do and what I want to do...for you. I will see to it that you get back to your world and be with the people you love."
"Ha, a pretty face like you are going to fight me? This would be my first time crushing a beauty to paste," Borin smirked as he lifted his heavy hammer.
Sae took a battle stance as she slightly levitated into the air, her feet leaving the ground. A brilliant white light was beginning to envelop her body, making her look like an ethereal goddess, and just the pure light made Borin squint his eyes in discomfort.
Apparently, he didn't like the white light surrounding Sae's body.
"Is that Sacred Arts?" Nyissa mumbled.
"Sacred Arts?" Viktor curiously asked.
"Yes, Sacred Arts are quite the opposite to Cursed Arts in the sense that they are good at healing living things but a bane for anything dead. Unlike Cursed Arts, which is completely destructive and cursed in nature, Sacred Arts have a gentle side to it...more like a sacred side," Nyissa said as she closely observed her grandaunt and saw an ethereal longsword manifesting in Sae's hand, which was also shining brilliant white, making it look as if the sword came out of the sun.
Viktor was awed by what he heard and looked at Sae, wondering if that higher being was the one who taught her these arts to use when the time came.
Viktor then looked at Oben to see if he was going to participate in the fight since he was worried about the two ganging up on Sae.
However, fortunately, Oben didn't seem like he was interested in joining in the battle and was instead walking towards the cage he was in.
But suddenly, he saw Nyissa coming closer to him and felt her finger moving on his back as if she was drawing something.
Viktor didn't say anything but instead gave her a confused look, to which she merely glanced at him and gave a slight nod.
Viktor narrowed his eyes, thinking that she was up to something, but he didn't stop her since he knew she wouldn't do anything to harm him. After all, she stayed here to help him when she could have escaped on her own.
At the same time, both Borin and Sae charged at each other with their weapons, clashing them against each other.
Borin raised his heavy hammer with both his hands to smash at Sae, who gracefully dodged it and slashed Borin's back.
"Argh!" Borin felt a painful, searing sensation along his back as if a sword from hell lacerated his back despite the sword looking so pure and sacred.
"You bitch!" Borin roared as his hammer lit up in dark orange flames and swung it around before smashing the ground in front of Sae.
A powerful blast of shockwaves rippled in the air, carrying along with it the dark orange flame in Sae's direction.
Sae quickly moved her finger as if she was drawing a circle in thin air and a radiant white circle with ethereal markings appeared before her, blocking the flames for her, much to Borin's annoyance.
When Oben came near and stood before the cage while looking at the battle going on in front, Viktor said, "Oben, I know you hold a deep grudge against me. But does that mean you won't even help out your own family, your sister? Do you simply plan to be a bystander?"
Oben slowly turned around to look at Viktor and said, "Grudge? I had long since forgotten about it. Now my mission is something else. And even if Sae is my sister, she already had her chance. This is her fight, and I can't help her."
"Still, you dedicated your whole life to destroying so-called evil, including me, but now look at yourself. You have become one yourself by enslaving innocent people who didn't even hurt a single hair on you. Is this how you want to besmirch your legacy?"
Viktor wanted to see if he could convince Oben to at least free his people though he knew it was just a desperate attempt at best, and Oben wouldn't budge.
Oben looked straight as he said, "What happens to my legacy is none of my concern anymore. Even if the Fujo Clan considers me as a traitor to their cause, I will still be fine with it."
Viktor clenched his fists, seeing that Oben was a lost cause and had no idea what happened to this fellow.
Nyissa was still doing something on Viktor's back while remaining silent even though she had a lot to say and ask.
"But....on Sae's behalf, I have something to say which you might need to know," Oben said as he gave a brief glance at Viktor.
