Jehan still had some strength remaining, flipping himself in the air to regain balance as he landed on the ground. However, he didn't last long and collapsed onto the ground.
Cecil rushed forward, wearing a conflicted look on her face.
No one knew that Jehan had woken up in the chaos, and the first thing he did was to sacrifice himself to protect Cecil.
"...Jehan."
He coughed harshly, blood still pouring out. "Ah, damnit, looks like the needle is already destroying this weakened body."
"..."
Cecil crouched down just as Jehan sat up. She saw as Jehan brought out a familiar orb and unlike Xue that had a pure colour, the orb Jehan possessed was tainted with dark magic.
"What are you..."
"It got me thinking..." Jehan said with a smug expression. "How I killed the two fragments that sacrificed themselves to protect you and how you cried for them."
She paused.
