[What's wrong?] Typhon asked as the cave's activities came to a standstill.
Between those that had been defeated and those that were knocked down by my aura, very few of the nestling remained standing.
Of the nestlings, only eight of them could withstand both, leaving those that couldn't to shakily rise up.
I told them nothing – it wasn't like they would understand, and they were clearly tired.
|[Start without me.]| I instructed Typhon. |[I'll meet you before you get there.]|
He looked taken aback, but he didn't protest. [Alright.]
As for those he would take, they were obviously the ones that stood upright. I glanced at eight of the winning nestlings with approval.
[Are you leaving?] Ophelia said, her colourful eyes watery.
I nodded. |[Watch out for the others. If anything unexpected happens, go and find Shiranui.]|
Her face wrinkled momentarily, but the ugly expression quickly wore off, making me wonder if I had imagined it.
