She then changed the topic to smaller matters, finding out more about MingHao's life.
They enjoyed their talk while Xue Fang lay her head on his shoulder. Time passed peacefully for them but not for Sylva and Zold.
Deep under the crater, Zold's body was covered with blood; on his back, he was carrying Sylva.
It's quite a long story to tell how he reached there, but to put it simply, the situation in the city had stabilized. Zold then decided to go down to check on his father since there was no news.
Halfway in, he found his father escaping, half dead.
Behind him, a group of creatures was slithering. While their movement looked slow, their speed was not. They not only kept up with Zold, but they also closed the distance.
SWOSH! SWOSH!
Zold leaped to the side, dodging the enemy's arrows. "Dammit, just what kind of creatures are they?"
"Z-Zold… Leave me and go. If this keeps going, both of us will be dead."
