章 113: Loss and Gain

"Rho… de…"

It's dark.

"… Rhode…"

A faint voice rang in his mind. The pain was intense as though someone pierced a hole in his brain. It couldn't help but made him feel disgusted and wanted to throw up.

"… Mr.Rhode…!!"

The fuzzy voice suddenly became clear, after that a warm light tore down the darkness.

Rhode opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was Lize's worried expression.

"Mr. Rhode, are you okay! What happened?"

Me? Injured?

Rhode shook his head trying to regain his consciousness. He held onto the tree and slowly got up. After that, he looked at his surroundings. He could see that Marlene was standing beside him with expression. Although she didn't look as worried as Lize, she still couldn't hide the concern in her eyes.

"After I felt a surging wave of magical energy, I quickly ran here and saw you lying on the ground. What… did you do? The area around you is completely devastated."
