"Haa… Haa… I really thought I would die!" Edward was on his knees, drenched in blood and desperately gasping for air.
Adam who was also in a state not much better than the blue-eyed young man, laughed out loud. "Hahaha, you won't die so easily, fatty. Would you believe me if I told you, you were the chosen one?"
"Chosen one, my ass!" Edward weakly laid down on the ground, surrounded by corpses of the orcs. He then glanced at Daneli who was sprawled out beside him and chuckled.
He lightly kicked the young elf and teased, "How long are you planning to act dead?"
"Shut up…" Daneli weakly replied, "I'm just taking a quick breather."
"Yeah right." Edward rolled his eyes.
Seeing them banter with one another, Adam smiled. He was happy that they were alive and kicking. He didn't regret his decision to ignore Gorgo and chose to help his friends instead.
He couldn't risk it.
Some things were always more important than others.
