Chapter 85: Perspectives (1)

It is said that when youʼre on the brink of death, your entire life flashes before your eyes.

Time slows down just enough to let you recall things you never thought youʼd be able to in that moment.

Lara Croft had abandoned her elegant bow, clutching Snow tightly as pitch-black spikes reflected in her pupils, expanding ever so slowly.

ʼOverwhelming attack.ʼ

ʼImmense power.ʼ

That attack was the very definition of chaos—black spikes tearing through everything in their path at random.

The elites, led by Ellen, desperately tried to salvage whatever they could. But no matter what, it seemed her story was fated to end here.

The girl shut her eyes, bracing herself for the moment those shadowy spikes would pierce her frail body. Yet, no matter how long she waited, that moment never came.

Instead, what she felt was an eerie cold that sent shivers down her spine.

She opened her eyes to a surreal sight.

The black spikes that had threatened to obliterate everything were now locked in a stalemate against crystalline ice formations, shaped like towering mountain peaks.

Black and sky-blue clashed midair, neither yielding to the other.

Slowly, Lara turned toward the source of this power. And who else could it be…

Seris Moonlight stood with unwavering intensity, her glowing eyes radiating power.

She looked even paler than usual, like a ghost in a white field.

”Seris… you, how…?”

Seris remained silent in response to Laraʼs question.

She wasnʼt the only one shocked—every elite, every classmate in the Elite Division, wore the same expression of disbelief.

”That girl… she stopped Gavardiolʼs attack?”

Ellen muttered under her breath.

She had been moments away from using everything she had to save the others, but Seris beat her to it.

”Incredible.”

Danzo tapped the ice before him, sensing its sheer solidity.

”This thing… it doesnʼt seem easy to break.”

”Youʼre telling me that girl launched an attack like this?”

Ragnaʼs gaze sharpened as he stared at Seris.

”Then why didnʼt she do something from the start?”

His words spread through the crowd, drawing their attention to an undeniable fact.

”Thatʼs enough for now… We survived, and thatʼs what matters.”

The distant sound of Imperial soldiers approaching confirmed that this grueling battle had finally come to an end.

”Itʼs over…”

Ellen exhaled in relief. But another voice cut through the air.

”No. Itʼs not over.”

”Yeah! If she could unleash an attack like that, why didnʼt she do it earlier? If she had, Atlas wouldnʼt have died!”

”Exactly!”

”Why didnʼt you save him?”

Shouts erupted from the senior students of the Elite Division.

Perhaps everything had happened too fast, but losing someone like Atlas wasnʼt something they could simply accept.

He was one of the strongest talents of the Temple, the star of the fourth year.

Those who couldnʼt accept his death now turned their blame on Seris, as if she had been obligated to save him from the very beginning.

Her classmates said nothing, just as conflicted as the others.

Yet, Seris took all those accusing gazes—each filled with different emotions—with calm indifference.

The glow surrounding her faded as she spoke in an eerily composed tone.

”How odd… Are you seniors asking us first-years to save you now?”

”Did one personʼs death make you forget your own weakness, pushing the blame onto me instead?”

She chuckled coldly before turning away.

”The ability I just used drains all my strength. I can only use it once. Against an opponent of that level, I never once entertained the delusion that I could defeat him with a single strike.”

”Thatʼs why I waited for the right moment… and it came.”

Her words were so brutally rational that those who had accused her found themselves at a loss for a response.

But her condescending attitude did nothing to soothe them—especially after her final remark.

”You shouldnʼt be asking me, ʼWhy didnʼt you save him?ʼ You should be thanking me for saving your sorry ass.”

”You—!”

The situation was about to escalate, but a deep voice echoed through the area, silencing everyone.

”Thatʼs enough.”

All heads turned toward the source of the voice, and a stranger appeared beside Atlasʼ lifeless body.

Ghost Umbra placed a hand on his older brotherʼs chest, staring at him for a long moment.

Atlasʼ body was riddled with holes, completely torn apart—his form barely recognizable.

”Hey, you.”

Ghost called out, his eyes locking onto someone specific.

It took her a second to realize he was speaking to her.

”…Me?”

Ghost nodded before asking,

”How did he die?”

Hearing him interrogate her so directly, Ellen frowned.

”And who are you?”

The boy before her was absurdly blunt. He had appeared out of nowhere and immediately started questioning her. But his next words softened her expression.

”Ghost Umbra. His younger brother.”

”…Oh.”

Ellen froze before answering hesitantly.

”Iʼm sorry… I couldnʼt—”

”Thereʼs no need to apologize. Just answer my question.”

Despite his harsh tone, Ellen White complied. She told him everything—how she had failed to stop Gavardiol, how Atlas had fallen.

In the end, Ghost simply nodded and lifted Atlasʼ body.

”As an assassin… revealing yourself from the start, shoving your head into the beastʼs mouth… You used yourself as a shield for others, when they should have been shielding you.”

”As an assassin, you were a failure. A disgrace to the Umbra name.”

Silence fell as everyone watched Ghost carry the cold, lifeless body away.

”You killed yourself, brother… But donʼt worry.”

A strange light flickered within Ghostʼs eyes as he whispered beside his fallen brotherʼs ear.

”Iʼll do what you failed to do. Iʼll finish the mission you couldnʼt.”

That day, an assassin found a new purpose.

-Sansa Valerion Pov-

”Are you alright, Your Highness?”

”Iʼm fine. There are plenty of others who need your attention more than I do. Instead of asking me the same question a hundred times, you should go help the other students.”

At my sharp response, Oliver Khan let out a quiet sigh before turning toward the ruined temple.

”If only I had arrived a little earlier…”

No one could tell what kind of expression he was making.

Beneath that white mask of his, only his blue eyes could be seen at times.

With his long white hair and perfectly sculpted physique, he stood out wherever he went.

If only he had arrived sooner… No.

If I had been more aware of my surroundings… If I hadnʼt underestimated the situation back then… If I had been a competent princess… maybe, just maybe, I could have minimized the damage.

I hugged myself under the cloak Iʼd been given, my mind replaying everything that had happened.

Ghost had left me here not long ago before returning to battle. Frey had also gone off somewhere earlier.

They were all fighting. And yet, here I was, sitting uselessly, unable to do anything.

”Your Highness…”

”Just Sansa.”

”Ahem… Lady Sansa, what exactly happened? Did you and Mist son defeat one of the High Contract Holders? Did you, by any chance, use that powe—”

”Stop, Oliver.”

I sighed in frustration at his last question.

”I didnʼt. It wasnʼt just me and Ghost there. Frey Starlight helped us too. Somehow, we managed to win… by making it a three-on-one.”

”Frey Starlight?”

I gave a silent nod, making it clear that I had no intention of discussing the matter further.

Oliver Khanʼs silence proved that my last words were difficult to believe.

He had seen Feyrithʼs corpse.

A man like Oliver—someone at the level of a Guardian Master—could still gauge Feyrithʼs strength, even in death.

Thatʼs why my words didnʼt make sense to him.

Maybe he thought… that I had used that power to defeat Feyrith.

But he hadnʼt seen what I saw.

”Frey…”
