Falling Off the Cliff

Meanwhile, atop Spring Mountain,

Wadi lay on the ground, his expression contorted with intense pain. Although Connor had ultimately chosen not to kill him, the execution of Wadi's Soul-Devouring Slash had inflicted significant damage to his body.

At this moment, hecould hardly muster the strength to stand on his own.

In a nearby corner, a figure had been surreptitiously observing everything transpiring on Spring Mountain. This person was Wesley .

Originally tasked by Palmer, Wesley had arrived early at the summit. He had witnessed the fierce battle between Wadi and Connor, and now, he finally grasped the true extent of Connor's terror. Despite several minutes having passed since Connor descended the mountain, Wesley still couldn't shake off his unease.
