Bab 68: Entry of the Unhinged

Approximately 500 meters away from the center of the barrier, Isaac and Ria were in between the cracks of the fallen debris scattered across the area. Isaac even used the last of his strength to cover the entrance by having a boulder roll over them and using Durandal as support.

"I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come. After all that Sir Isaac has done for me I still went and risked destroying everything… if only I had run away and … I hurt someone, I can't believe I actually sta-stabbed… uweek~."

Ria felt like hurling just remembering what she had done.

"It's okay, Ria. What you did was good. You helped me, thank you, Ria." His words were weak. He was out of breath and the pain had not disappeared. But Isaac was calm, all so he could make Ria worry less, "If it weren't for you, it would've been hard to make an escape."

"Really? Then, I- sniffle~I'm glad to be of help!" Ria spoke with an obviously forced smile.
