章 954: Saved

"...Good job, Maria," Mira muttered as her body fell limp. She wanted to give the blonde a few pats on the back, but she was too injured and exhausted to do so.

'...It's been a long time since someone has pushed me to this point.' Mira thought, ignoring the fact that she was slowly dying. 

Whatever Maria did to prevent her from healing was still in effect, and her last attack had actually knicked her 'heart', or rather, her Absolute Essence Core.

She was continuously losing blood, and the aftereffects of [Blood Burst] certainly didn't help. Her Qi had pretty much run dry, and her mind was starting to become fuzzy.

There were probably only a handful of times in all her lives when she was in such a pitiful state. 

'It's not bad.' She chuckled to herself. 'If it were anyone else who did this, I'd probably be raging, unwilling to accept my defeat, but… I probably deserve this.'

It was a hard-fought battle, one where she truly put her all into it.
