Bab 273: Bitter Victory

Like Kevin earlier, Jake and Sarah slipped off the cracked wall leaving a trail of blood in their wake. As Jake collapsed to the ground, he was so dizzy he had to bite his tongue to maintain consciousness. Sarah by his side had not yet come to her senses.

Standing up with difficulty, he ran his hand behind his head and felt a warm, sticky liquid soak through his hair. This alien really got him good this time.

But luckily, his bones were not to be taken lightly either. Back then during his First Ordeal he had already broken through stone walls quite a few times and with his new Myrtharian body it wasn't enough to put him in danger. Nevertheless, it was still extremely painful.

Jake could not help but congratulate himself on the good work he had done in erecting these walls. Although the wall behind him was cracked and split as if it had just been hit by a catapult shot, the structure had held up well.
