"A-Adrian-!" Aria quickly moved and caught Adrian's falling body, gently putting him on her lap. He was too exhausted and busy to notice it. If he had...
"B-Brother-!" Aurelia, seeing her brother collapse with blood pouring from his left hand, quickly ran over.
"Blessing of Light!" She immediately cast a healing spell on Adrian, pouring all her aether into it. 'Please, be safe... You're the only family I have left...'
The others were stunned witnessing the scene but quickly recovered, focusing on getting the artifact while the Guardian was incapacitated.
However, none of them noticed the Guardian slowly crawling toward the altar, desperation in its eyes.
"K-Kill the monster..." Adrian muttered, knowing the consequences if the Guardian reached the altar.
Aria heard him and glanced around, searching for the Guardian. 'There!' Surprisingly, the Guardian was only four or five meters away from the altar.
