Chapter 124: Korvan (6)

As Korvan's lifeless body slumped to the ground, I let out a long, slow breath, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle over me. The adrenaline that had carried me through the fight began to fade, replaced by a dull ache that spread through my entire body. Every muscle screamed in protest, my wounds burning with the pain I had managed to ignore until now.

I staggered backward, my vision swimming slightly. The world around me spun for a brief moment before I collapsed onto the ground, my legs giving out beneath me. My breathing was ragged, each breath a struggle as I lay there, staring up at the dark sky. The battle had taken more out of me than I had realized.

Reaching for my spatial pouch, I fumbled for a moment before my fingers found the small vial of healing potion that Roderick had given me. It was a simple concoction meant to speed up recovery from minor injuries, but it would have to do for now.
