Chapter 112 - To Crush a Bug

"Not so fast!" Using her wind magic, Riley flung herself forward to deflect the Arachne queen's claws about to be brought down on Haruki.

 

However, before she could reach her, the queen slashed through Haruki's neck and it tumbled off of his body. Watching in horror, Riley stopped in her tracks, and the others raised concerned eyes. None of them could believe what had happened, and their minds were only slowly catching up to the reality.

 

"There's no way…" Mumble Margarette, as Asuka breezed past her.

 

Upon noticing Asuka trying to approach Haruki, Riley flew over to her and held her in place by her arms.

 

"What are you doing, let me go?!" Cried Asuka, trying to free herself from Riley's grasp.

 

"Trust him," Riley whispered, knowing full well that the queen couldn't have defeated their master so easily.
