章 130: Wrapping Up Chaos

"Vyan!" a voice called out from behind just as Vyan was about to respond to Sienna. He glanced over his shoulder to see Iyana sprinting towards him, then looked back to the front only to find Sienna had vanished. Along with her, gone was the crushing pain in his chest.

Iyana skidded to a halt beside him, gasping for breath. "Clyde said you had something to check. Let me assist—" she started, but then her eyes went wide. 

He was startled as she grabbed his chin, her grip firm.

"What the hell happened to you? Why is there blood spilling out of your mouth?"

"Ah, that's nothing," he murmured, wiping his mouth with the back of his wrist. He attempted to stand, only to feel his legs betray him. Iyana caught him just in time.

"Are you okay? Are you suffering from mana exhaustion?" she asked, her voice laced with concern as she crouched to rub soothing circles on his back.
