บท 340: Illusion

In the darkness, he felt lost and afraid, his heart gripped by overwhelming sorrow. The next moment, however, he felt consciousness slowly return to him.

Edward slowly opened his weary eyes. Initially, he was confused, but soon he was astonished.

"I'm… alive?!"

The last thing he remembered was him and Lisa dying at the hands of Hemingway. But now that he opened his eyes and looked around him, his body trembled in shock and disbelief.

He slowly sat up and scanned his surroundings.

Blood-filled cobblestoned streets. Corrupted beasts' corpses. Dilapidated buildings.

"This…" Edward didn't know what to think. "I'm still in Omai? I'm alive? But how?"

He was so shocked that he didn't even realize that another person was lying down just beside him.

It was Lisa.

The next moment, she groaned in pain and slowly opened her eyes. Just like Edward, she too was initially confused, but then she was filled with incredulity.
