Chapter 48: Mana!
"Raise your head, Altros." Zen, who wouldn't deal with this much gratitude, held Altros' shoulder in an attempt to make him get up.
"I have only done what I should, please." Zen added.
"It's not that, Savior." Altros, refusing to get up, started shivering on the ground, his sniffs intensifying. He was a man; he shouldn't be crying like this; he knew it, but... Even the toughest of men had weak moments, not to mention people of hell who were living the harshest of lives, each day containing the hardships a regular man goes through in a year.
"I should have been the one to run up to him and kill that damn thing. yet I- yet I just stood there. For a second, I was even ready to sacrifice him if it meant that you stay alive, the same way I was ready to die. But it shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't..." He added.
