A few moments ago.
Ashton's vision was blurry. It felt as if a massive dark cloud had wrapped around him, leaving only a small window for him to gaze through.
'I feel like shit...'
There wasn't an ounce of strength in his body. His body was still under control, but he couldn't feel a thing: no emotions, no pain, nothing. Strangely enough, Ashton couldn't even hear Astaroth's voice, even though he knew the bastard was speaking something.
'Is this how death feels like?' Ashton thought, 'I never thought it would feel so... empty.'
At that moment, Ashton had no recollection of what was happening. It wasn't until he saw Celeste that he remembered the fight and how the Draconian destroyed all of them.
Even all of his summons together weren't enough to stop him. In the end, only Celeste was left standing. But Ashton knew it was only a moment of time before she joined the rest.
