[Bonus chapter]The 458 Defense Line

Yuri had no idea how she'd passed out, nor what Tuss had done after she had.

When she woke up, she was no longer in her own bed but in Tuss's.

She could smell the strong scent of wood on her body, mixed with a faint medicinal smell - a sign that Tuss must have treated her with some medicine.

Yet, her body was still sore, as if she'd been in a tough fight.

Yuri took out a healing pod from her dimensional button. Too lazy to get dressed, she hopped straight out of bed. Each step was laborious, and she found herself gasping for breath. Finally, she made it to the healing pod and climbed in.

The next moment, her aches were immediately relieved, and her groggy mind started to regain clarity.
