The Mystery Remains

Jacob was looking at the headless corpse of Sebastian as his blood continued to spread, with disbelief and trepidation.

Taking a deep breath to calm his palpitating emotions, he looked towards Autarch and asked again, "Are you alright?"

"I…I'm fine, sorry, sir." Autarch finally spoke in a feeble voice.

"It's not your fault; no one saw it coming." Jacob sighed, not blaming Autarch but feeling relief that he was fine and could still speak.

After something like this had never happened before, it was Autarch's first time to experience something like this, not to mention getting injured. He was glad that Autarch didn't die, or he would really lose much more than he had gained, which was nothing. 

He then sent Autarch back to his solar plexus space since it was the best way for Autarch to rest and recover.
