How long has it been? Rudolph doesn't know.
His wound was still actively bleeding, and if not for him learning survival skills from his father, he might have died long ago.
Rudolph was attacked by the demon when he went to find the barrier chanter.
A huge wound was inflicted on his torso, and the boy had no option but to run for his life. His Soul Shard was damaged in the process of warding off the demon that was on his tail, but more than his life, nothing more was important.
'Where am I right now...' He gazed at the surroundings and couldn't discern whether he was inside the Academy forest anymore or not.
He was being chased by one of the two demons, with the naked intention of slaughtering him before Rudolph could reach the teachers and inform them about the Demonic presence.
Clutching the wound with the makeshift pad he made with leaves and fur, Rudolph found his vision swirling and his consciousness slipping off.
