Left alone on the second floor of the building they had crashed into, Eldrian chuckled while doing his best to keep himself alive while also saving as much mana as he could. He clearly understood that he did not have enough time to heal himself fully, and as such it would just be a waste of mana to try.
'I've learned a lot, but... I am still too weak and foolish.' He smiled and looked at his wrecked body, 'Luckily, with Ceph gone I should be able to stay rational. So, my resurrection should go smoothly and the pain reduction should stay in effect.'
'Still, I am strangely calm...' Eldrian looked at the door of the room as a massive noise was heard from below.
The orcs had arrived.
'I just killed an orc, and I am about to kill a bunch more. Yet, I don't feel any guilt or regret.'
'What changed?' He asked as he looked at his battered body again.
Again a shorter chapter, I guess the second chapters' just like having nice solid endings.
