Chapter 76: Ender! Ender! Ender!
Leon's heart burned as Louise's raw mana slipped inside his body.
He knew she wasn't dead and would return to his side soon. But the fact that he couldn't stop her from sacrificing herself had left him stunned and disappointed. He no longer smiled but looked down with his lips and eyes tightly shut. He also felt Celes' hugging him from behind, giving him more warmth.
Louise's words reverberated in Leon's mind.
[You're my sun, so don't die, Master!]
"I'll not leave this realm without that dragon in my inventory." Leon declared, already knowing that he'd miss Louise from today on.
He glanced behind at Celes. She was a strong woman with many unique skills, but on this last day, she wouldn't be able to help him, particularly against the dragon.
He wasn't also mad at Celes for stopping him, for deep inside, he knew it had been Louise's wish.
And he shared his wish with her. "I'll turn you into a card and summon you back once I leave this realm."
