'Boom'

Sawyer's head blasted like a watermelon as blood and brain mucas spilt everywhere.

'...'

Reece and Harper looked at the scene of Sawyer's head and then speechlessly looked at Lucas wondering, 'Why did he want to silently leave when he had such a powerful talisman with him?'

However, they didn't bother to ask Lucas; instead, they were excited after seeing the monster that killed their friends.

"I wanted to save the talisman for later use; however, you two wanted to avenge your friends. So, I don't have a choice other than using it up."

As though he sensed what they were puzzled with, Lucas explained the reason for his earlier behaviour.

'Also, I needed him to tire himself out and should be completely focused on the shadow wyvern; otherwise, he would have dodged it without much difficulty.'

Lucas didn't tell these words to them; instead, he muttered them to himself.

'Swoosh'

With the death of Sawyer, the vines that were binding Lucas and others turned into ashes.
