Wukong's eyes snapped open a few minutes later.
With a grunt, he shoved himself off the ground, his broken ribs rubbing against each other in a painful cacophony. Yet he didn't care. Instead, he searched for their enemies while channeling his qi.
"Relax." Achilles gripped his shoulder, drawing his attention.
"You stopped Heracles before losing consciousness. I caught you while Karna pierced him with a weapon as powerful as Zeus' lightning bolts...."
Achilles pointed at Adam and explained what had happened next.
His eyes widened with each word as he cast a conflicted gaze at Merlin's sleeping figure.
"I see..." He muttered after Achilles' recounting and went to sit by Adam and Luna. "It's the last time I listen to this crazy mage's plans." He sighed and nudged Adam's cheek. "But I'm relieved everything worked out in the end."
Achilles nodded.
