Chapitre 176: Final Moments

The cave shuddered in response to Tyler’s violent eruption. “No way! No way this happened! I just rescued Kat! I married and swore to protect her! She cannot have died while I was gone!”

The young man spiraled into an emotional crisis for the first time since stepping out of prison. It was expected since, despite all his powers, he failed to protect his own wife.

Tyler dropped into the sacred pool in misery. It was supposed to be brimming with limitless mystical energy, but he felt nothing. A murder had happened within its waters, which defiled its very core, cutting off the supply.

Tyler was the least bit concerned about recharging his stock. Instead, he cradled Kat’s corpse in his arms.

“Wake up…” he whispered into her desiccating ears. “I’m here. You don’t need to be alone anymore.”

Naturally, there was no response from the dead body. Tyler was still not prepared to give up. He felt around for her breathing, her pulse, and her heartbeat. Nothing. She was gone.
