Chapter 73: The Carbina Paradox (P2)

She's alive. Leriva is…

And more importantly, she's conscious.

The shock I feel at this reveal is not mine alone. Anselm too finds this all too good to be true and Kaylin simply looks confused.

Above, on the edge of the deep hole with spiralling layers, lined with the bodies of the people of Carbina, we peer down into it and find Leriva, hoarse and sore for whatever else she's been through dress in a rather dirty night-gown.

How has she come to be conscious? And rather frighteningly, is any of what she says, about the Beta Warrior true?

"I'm alive, and I'm awake, I don't know how this is possible given I spent all of my mana trying to maintain my summon." Her voice carries a light nonchalance to it as she addresses us.

I suppose anyone would be sick and tired of all the bullshit that's happened to the point where it simply doesn't faze them anymore. And worse of it, she likely hasn't gotten to sleep.
