The rattan woven strands, as rigid as sticks, converged around Seiya's neck in a tight trap and brutally lopped off his head—or at least that was what Seiya felt the instant the demon clapped his hands together.
Before the woven rattan strands could crash into Seiya's neck to converge and strap his neck, Kaeliyus suddenly appeared right behind Seiya, dipped him low and propelled themselves backward—landing on their knees, away from the rattan.
"My Lord, are you unharmed?" Kaeliyus asked, his eyes wide with fear and shock, cold sweat clinging to his skin. The moment his gaze fell upon Seiya, his face grew even paler.
Seiya who had always been composed and unbothered in whatever situation he found himself in, that Seiya was shaken right now.
Seiya's eyes were wide in a mix of emotions as he remained crouched on his knees. His face was dark, cold sweat drenching his face. His heart palpitated beyond reasoning, pounding hard against his chest.
