Due to everything that had been going on on the battlefield, Heino had decided to join the battle himself.
With one of the special items of Alter, he had disguised himself as the enemy and had been playing a large part in the battle.
He was able to take out key figures, clan leaders, by disguising himself as their fellow allies.
However, he had seen the opportunity to get rid of one individual, one that he saw the sight of that had greatly disturbed him.
Only his surprise attack had failed, and he was now back in his normal elegant robe as he looked at Shay, his target.
"It appears that something has occurred that I never expected, for you to have joined the other side?" Heino claimed. "Honestly, I thought you were dead, but now that I think about it, it would have been better if you were dead!"
"I see you never did care about us, did you? Not that I ever expected that!" Shay shouted as she charged forward.
The moment she did, Heino jumped back and a coloured almost white spear had come out from his hand.
It was fast, accelerated, and even faster than a strike from a Pagna warrior. It crashed into Shay's body.
She had expected it to pierce through her, but instead, it didn't pierce completely—it almost had phased through her body.
It was now stuck inside her body, but there was no entry point, no physical wound in her skin, yet it exited out from the other side as well.
The pain from the strike was small, as if she had been hit by a regular fist—not enough to take her down by any means—but she could feel it, her whole body had slowed down slightly from the attack.
Still, she charged forward, knowing that Heino wasn't a warrior and she would catch up to him eventually.
Yet he continued to jump back, throwing the strange white spear-like magic at Shay. They lodged into different parts of her body.
In doing so, the effect of her slowing felt like it was building up, and all the sharp pain from the spears was building up as well.
"What, did you think I had no way to fight myself?" Heino asked. "I see that you don't have the item that I gifted you as well. Have you completely decided to discard everything to do with us? I wondered how they had managed to convince you.
"But I have my own questions to ask—when you betrayed us, was it before? Did you have a part to play in his death?"
Shay could feel something—the initial spear that had been lodged in her body—it was starting to disappear, and as the spear started to vanish, she was able to move quicker.
She still had the other spears in her body, so the effect of her body being slowed down was still taking its toll on her.
Right after, Heino made a fist with his hand, and at the same time, all of the spears lit up and exploded.
Shay was chucked in the air and landed on her feet, huffing and panting. A small trickle of blood came out of her mouth.
'I should have known there was another use for those spears. That was stupid on my end… and did that hurt me internally?'
Instead of charging in, it was best for her to stay back. The spears moved too fast for her to even strike back.
Heino was proving to be a lot more difficult than she thought.

As Heino looked around him, he could see many fallen allies, and he had decided to act. He stretched out his hand.
Just like before, the wounds on their bodies appeared to be reversing. They were getting back up on their feet, and it was almost as if nothing had happened.
"Listen! That woman there is the enemy!" Heino declared. "Take her out no matter what it takes! If you fall, I'll bring you back again and again!"
The warriors, hearing this—realizing they had a second chance—immediately charged toward Shay.
Shay didn't use the Dark Edge sword arts—not against this cannon fodder that was coming toward her.
She could take them out with her Qi and sword skill alone. As she defended and attacked and was doing just that, she was thinking about what the best option was to take Heino down.
'Even if I take these people out, he's just going to bring them back again. But there has to be a limit to how much he can bring these people back—a time limit or something, right? Otherwise, he would have brought his boyfriend back, and he seems pretty upset at his death,' Shay thought.
In the middle of her thoughts, she had the sword wielded in her hand, ready to strike a warrior from above, when seemingly out of nowhere, she saw Heino change position completely.
He had moved across the battlefield, clearing himself. He looked to be just as fast as a Pagna warrior.
The issue was—the flick of his hand had released another spear that lodged right into her.
Her sword swung down and struck the warrior, but she could feel herself slowed, and more spears were being thrown into her as she continued to fight.
Until she had slowed down significantly and was struck right on her back. Jumping out of the situation, she had no choice—even if she was slowed, she still had a mass amount of power.
Lifting her sword into the air, it eclipsed—being covered in Dark Qi.
"The second formation—eclipse strike!" She swung her sword out, and the entire area was covered in dark Qi.
Aiming straight for the warriors until Heino stood in front of them and held out his hand.
"Freeze!" The attack had been stopped. Then, with his other hand, he closed it, and all of the spears inside Shay had exploded at once.
She flipped about in the air, and on her way back down, she looked at Heino.
'How… how am I meant to beat this monster?'
