Severin had just prepared to make his move when Blake's expression turned serious all of a sudden. Blake gazed at the sky not far away with a wary expression, tightening his grip on the dark-black, lustrous, ring-hilted broadsword. Faint sword energy emanated from the glowing blade, cutting into the surrounding space and distorting the void.
Sensing that something amiss, Severin concealed his figure within the void. Ge remained curious about what Blake had detected, and the latter seemed to be on high alert.
Following Blake's gaze, Severin glanced over and saw a streak of light rapidly approaching from dozens of miles away, just like a shooting star. Within the glow was a familiar figure. 'Karl?' he thought to himself in surprise.
Ever since he and the rest had traversed the wormhole, they were instantly separated and had no contact with each other. It was rare for one to encounter a familiar face within a place as vast as the Starry Sky Battlespace, and Severin did not expect to run into Karl so soon.
Karl's somewhat anxious expression led Severin to speculate that Karl was likely targeting metal Uru in the meteorite belt.
Severin then turned to Blake. The two had condensed their auras, ready to attack at any given time. Severin grinned to himself and thought, 'This is a sign that the Menzies regard Karl as their enemy.'
