章節 394: Light and Darkness - Part 12

Alicia and Zeke's last battle had been intense. Initially, they tried to stall, dragging it out as long as possible. But as with all battles, theirs finally reached its end.

They had defeated their final enemy together, their blades piercing the monster's heart in unison.

Now, they found themselves in a river filled with glowing, crystal-like stones. The water was clear, and the bluish rock formations beneath made the place look truly magical. Alicia was immensely grateful for this bath; she definitely did not want to meet Ezekiel's mother covered in dried blood and dirt.

Zeke washed her hair gently in silence while Alicia enjoyed the water. She couldn't believe it was over. If she could, she would want to extend this journey just a little longer. Just one more battle together. But she knew that was no longer possible. They had reached the inevitable end, and now she could only prepare herself for what awaited them.
