After exactly 5 hours later, I opened my eyes and looked around.
It was still dark, but not that dark enough to make me blind to the environment.
I raised my head and looked up. There I saw very tall, red trees that covered the sunlight with their leaves and length. Just letting a few rays of light illuminate the dark, eerie forest.
I turned my head to Aria, who was sitting on the ground while leaning against a tree with closed eyes.
'Hmm, she is sleeping…' I thought while searching my storage artifact. It wasn't on me, so I thought that Aria might have taken it while I was sleeping.
That is why, I crouched and looked around her. Then I found my storage artifact.
I took out a healing potion and blood replenishing potion and drank them in a gulp.
I thought that maybe these potions could reduce the pain I was feeling but they didn't work as I assumed.
So I decided to do what I needed to relieve myself from this torture.
