Capítulo 242: The One He Loves

"I can't sense her presence anymore," I grunted as residual vibrations continued to rattle underground. Her strength might've been compromised by the seal, but she was still good at space-manipulating spells. Wherever she had fled to was probably miles away from us already.

Besides, we probably would have ended up in much bigger trouble just now if not for your help." The paleness that had settled even further into his face was a clear indication of how far he had pushed his limits for us today.
