章 1339: A Hero's Sacrifice

-----

"No, Bark…"

As the chaos around them reverberated with countless explosions and screams, Ivy and Bark remained immobile.

For once, Bark had sacrificed himself to block Ivy from getting cut into two halves, being cut apart instead.

Although Sylphy's clone was being dealt with by Felicia, everything else around them seemed to have stopped.

Ivy couldn't believe Bark had just died in front of her.

His internal organs, everything was shown.

They were different than normal plants that could be cut down and regrown easily.

Arboren were more similar to fleshy beings, but made of plant matter, than the viceversa.

This meant that if they took fatal damage on their heads, hearts, or were sliced apart like this, chances were, they would die.

She remembered all the memories she lived with the old knight, and how gentle he always was.

Ivy felt slightly bad…

She started crying as she looked at the old knight's body.
