Chapter 212: Under The Sea

Petra bit her lip. She didn't want to use her powers on Chris, especially since he was so vulnerable at the moment. He wasn't even moving—only his lips twitched from time to time.

The other Espers gritted their teeth. They had failed their mission, and of course, Carrisa was going to punish them. The fact that she had waited three whole weeks before doing so was already an act of generosity.

They said nothing, but all of them tensed up.

"Ahh… what a nuisance…"

Alicarde, clad in his Reaper's vestments, exhaled in a sinister tone.

The Espers paled instantly.

The Reaper was known to be a madman. He wouldn't hesitate to kill them all if he felt like it. Cold sweat ran down their backs as they braced themselves for a disastrous outcome.

But to their surprise, Alicarde turned to Carrisa instead.

"You will do no such thing."

The Espers exchanged startled glances. He was… taking their side?

Carrisa sighed.
