Fighting Ruben Astor

Rio hugged the magenta-haired girl carefully and rested by the trunk of the tree as he sat at its root.

"Ah...That was close..." He sighed.

Rio gazed at Nyla's unconscious face and continued in a worried tone, "I need to mend her wounds before bringing her to the nearby shelter."

There were wounds on her shoulder and head, the bleeding had stopped fortunately stopped.

Rio also checked his injury at the shoulder and discovered that they were healing slowly with the help of [Life Sutra].

He realized his AI watch was broken in the fight with the giant shadow viper fox.

After resting for some time and recovering his mana, the boy took Nyla in a bridal carry, supporting her head on his chest, and went to look into the big crater where the giant shadow viper fox had died.
