At the same time, Jake stood a short distance away, while Aria hid behind a rock further back, peeking her head out to watch the scene in front of her.
Right now, Samu'dra was bathed in a strange light.
The light was so bright that Jake had to narrow his eyes as he watched.
"What… is happening?"
He had no idea.
A moment ago, Samu'dra had still been lying on the ground after their battle.
Then, the moment Jake accepted the recruitment option, this strange light had appeared and completely covered its body.
Suddenly, Jake's face twisted slightly in pain.
"Urgh…"
A sharp pain shot through his ribs.
He instinctively placed a hand against his side and took a slow breath.
The battle had left more damage than he wanted to admit.
But Jake didn't take his eyes off Samu'dra.
Instead, his expression gradually became more serious.
He had no idea what this strange light was doing.
And considering what Samu'dra had just put him through…
Jake had to prepare for the worst.
"Aria."
