The battle stopped.
At that moment, all the Hunters and Undead Monsters fixed their gazes on Eng and Philoctetes.
For the Hunters of Dorey City, they had just watched Ed destroy the blood-red orb that enhanced Philoctetes, only for a new issue to arise.
Their hearts were filled with hope one moment, only to be shrouded in despair the next. Many subconsciously looked at Eng, only to find his face was extremely grim.
Eng signaled the three other guards from the Morton Family to slowly retreat. He then sheathed his Hunter's steel sword into its scabbard and focused his gaze on Philoctetes' left hand, fearing that this Elf Undead would destroy the Undead Crystal.
Eng tried to keep his tone relaxed as he said, "Philoctetes, it's over. If you hand over the Undead Crystal now, it's not too late."
Philoctetes' chest heaved with every breath, and the smile on his face was filled with mockery and resentment. His voice, once elegant, had turned sharp.
