Chapter 713: Despair (Part 1)

"Thank the gods you're still alive." Yondra said between gasps. The spell was hot enough to cauterize the wound and prevent her from bleeding out immediately. Yet it also made the pain from the wound even more intense.

Yondra couldn't stop crying and each word made her body quiver in agony.

Yet it wasn't the tennis ball sized hole in her chest that struck Lith like a fist to the stomach, but her collapsing mana core. He refused to surrender, using Invigoration to replenish both her stamina and mana, but to no avail.

Her blue mana core kept leaking everything he gave her and was already turning cyan.

"I'm sorry. We should've run away like you wanted." Tears of pain and regret streamed down her cheeks while all he could do was ease the pain of her last moments.

"No, there were Flesh Golems waiting for us. The moment we Blinked they would have trapped us with their arrays. We could only fight." Lith replied.
