134. Mixed Emotions

What met the three friends' eyes was the parting smile of Talon. He had his eyes closed and, blood had dripped down from both sides of his mouth.

"N-No... Talon..."

Suddenly, Kahel, Yna, and Guilford all felt weak at the inanimate figure of 

Talon. They were just talking about it a few minutes ago, and now it has all come true. The barrier disappeared. It was a sign that Talon had died.

"Talon!"

The three friends had just finished 'cleaning' Vouge's body and, now another one had been added to their dead comrades.

Sorely, at that moment, they were feeling their heartbreak apart to the extent where it would take a long time for them to heal. Even if it was too heartbreaking for Kahel, he endured the pain with great fortitude, casting his feeling aside.

"Now is not the time to feel disheartened," Kahel said, plucking. "The kids need us. We have to fight alongside them and prevent any more deaths of our comrades!"
