I slowly stood up and looked around. I was by myself in the open field I was defeated in. I sat on the ground and closed my eyes. "How am I supposed to defeat Menos now..? Ardour was the one hope I had.."
"Master!" Destiny flew to me and was followed by Lustie, Talenta, and Charismari.
They landed in front of me and Lustie looked at Talenta. "He's weakened...boss really did a number on him."
"Yeah...she took away the power that made him stronger than the Kings. Menos is still getting stronger. According to Romancia, Menos is at 9,507 right now. Shiro's Max is 5,790 and not growing." Talenta said and crossed her arms.
Charismari walked closer to me and crouched down then held my shoulder. "Shiro..?"
