"Can you move your body, Aria?"
"Yes, I can." Alex saw Aria struggling to stand up while trying to hide the painful expression on her face. It seems like she still needs more time to fully recover. He could sigh and grab her shoulders, motioning her to stop trying to stand up.
"You, stay here and finish your food. I will go and check the situation outside the barrier."
"But.." Aria said, trying to retort him.
"No but. You will only make things harder for me with your current condition. Stay here."
Alex then quickly ran towards the entrance of the cave, trying to see what was going on. There, he saw the being that attacked the barrier, the inhabitants of the abyss's main chamber, the 3rd abyss creature that came after the critter and the hellhound.
