Irene was stunned by the sudden appearance of this man. Although her vision was half-closed, she could still make out his solid back. She didn't know why, but his presence made her feel safe. She wanted to ask his identity, but she was too tired to even open her mouth, and all she wanted to do was faint.
"Rest well. I'll take it from here."
Those were the words she heard from the man. As if hypnotized, her vision faded into darkness, and she fell asleep. Aldrian, seeing his mother finally resting, sighed in relief. Fortunately, he had arrived just in time. The massive ice-element technique that was visible from afar revealed this location to Aldrian. Recognizing it as his mother's, he had immediately dashed to the site, certain she was engaged in a battle.
