Yaztec hastily shifted his position, attempting to dodge the bone spike attack. By doing so, although he saved Telos from the reaper's harvest, the bone spike pierced directly through his right leg. Flesh was torn, and the sensation of a heavy blow traveled up from his leg. A mouthful of thick blood spewed from Yaztec, who felt as if his breath was leaking away.
Witnessing this scene, Telos was deeply moved.
"Child..." he was moved, but at a loss for words. He realized that although he was Yaztec's teacher, he hadn't been much help. By his side, he had instead become a burden to him.
"Teacher, I won't let you get hurt," Yaztec said, struggling against the intense suffocation in his lungs, and began to climb upward bit by bit. Below them, the flame silver-armored zombie, having shot the bone spikes from its back and left its torso covered in thick bone spikes, had no follow-up move. It climbed towards the building Yaztec was ascending, howling.
