Chương 297: Rest first

"Eileen," she barked, her voice cutting through the chaos, "don't let your guard down, even for a second. These demons are no joke. Focus."

I nodded, steadying myself, even as I felt the ache of exhaustion pull at my limbs. I couldn't back down now. I summoned my own blue flames, coaxing them into existence with what little strength I had left.
