713 Despair (Part 1)

"Thank the gods you're still alive." Yondra said between gasps. The spell was hot enough to cauterize the wound and prevent her from bleeding out immediately. Yet it also made the pain from the wound even more intense.

Her blue mana core kept leaking everything he gave her and was already turning cyan.

"I'm sorry. We should've run away like you wanted." Tears of pain and regret streamed down her cheeks while all he could do was ease the pain of her last moments.

"No, there were Flesh Golems waiting for us. The moment we Blinked they would have trapped us with their arrays. We could only fight." Lith replied.
