"Do you need help to deal with this guy?" Regalina asked with a faint smile, her fan lightly tapping against her palm as her eyes glanced toward the trapped mage.
"I have my means," Ethan replied calmly.
Their gazes met for a brief moment, and then both sides turned away without another word. Regalina and her guards disappeared into the distance, while Ethan and Rathlos moved in the opposite direction, creating some space from the earlier scene.
After gaining enough distance, Ethan stopped and gestured lightly.
"Drop him."
Rathlos nodded and released the sealed mage from the suspended space. The glowing prison faded, and the middle-aged man fell to the ground heavily, still bound by residual restraints of light and space.
Ethan and Rathlos looked at each other for a brief second.
Then both of them looked down at the man.
A faint, almost sinister smile appeared on Ethan's face.
The mage felt a chill run down his spine.
Umm…
Umm…
