Chapter 945: Avgi invaded (3) - Ceph's hope

Ceph watched from afar. His heart frozen in a gripping fear, dread paralyzing him as he watched his mother fall through the sky. As if dead.

She recovered quickly. Just a few seconds of freefall. Those seconds, however, had drained Ceph of any energy he had to spare. He was covered in a cold sweat as he feared the worse. 

And those seconds had brought the worse. Ceph didn't know what was happening. He couldn't follow what was happening, after all. But he could tell that his parents were being pushed to their limits. And his mom, in particular, was slower than before. 

Most of the time, she was still too fast for Ceph to see. But, it was not as smooth as before. It was clear that the arrow which had struck her had left lasting damage.
