Hugging the unconscious Holy Maiden Sylvie Deva into the Ancient One's Palace, Aiden could no longer hold on either and was fainting.
He was too badly injured and had lost too much blood. His flesh and skin were burnt to a crisp and his organs were failing – he had already gone beyond his body's regeneration capabilities.
If he hadn't possessed such shocking vitality and unique origin, he would have long been dead.
In his daze, Aiden suddenly felt his hands get lighter.
A long time later, he finally snapped out of his stupor. Enduring the immense pain, he turned to his side with extreme difficulty.
To his shock, the young girl he got transported with, the Holy Maiden who was initially lying in his embrace had disappeared!
*Bang!*
Before he had time to think, his body shuddered and he collapsed onto the cold, hard ground with a throbbing headache!
