"It's getting worse." Iolrath spoke with a grim look on his face.
Currently, he and Ionia were in the Inner sanctum, watching over Ella.
Iolrath's words seemed to be related to two things.
One was the rate at which the seal which kept away the sins of the Dark Forest was currently deteriorating and the other had to do with Ella's condition which had gotten to a terrible state.
Most of her body was covered in the poison with her head the only part still left untouched.
"Do you think he will be able to do it?" Ionia asked as she held the Living staff while standing over Ella before reaching out to place her palm on the little girl's cheek.
It felt cold to the touch, unlike the usual warmth of a living being.
It could only mean one thing… Ella was closer to death than she was to life.
Ionia held a look of worry as she stared at the child.
