章節 163: Absolute Darkness

“Eeeeeeeeeve!”

Everard heard the agonizing scream that came from a distance.

“Ruby?” he mumbled in a breathless whisper, and he immediately coughed up blood again.

“Ru–” he tried to call her name so as to make her aware of his location, and to make her believe that he was doing okay. However, he entered a coughing fit again and vomited a lot of blood.

“Everaaaaard!”

He heard her desperate scream again. He could tell from her voice that she was also having great difficulty turning.

He pressed his forehead on the floor and spat out the leftover blood from his mouth. He then bit his lower lip and used his dislocated shoulder to push himself up from the floor.

It hurt so bad that he bit his own lips while trying to suppress the pain and the screams. The wound on his lips was, however, nothing compared to the broken bones and ruptured organs of his.
