Let's Die Together

"I'm beat," Varian wiped the sweat off his forehead as his whole body ached.

For the last an hour, he had been pouring out using his plantae powers to heal the severely injured level 9s.

When Mirage Queen was about to finish them off, Varian saved them by pulling them into the celestial room.

But he wasn't able to convince Skad to get in.

'Why did he do that despite knowing nothing will change?' Varian didn't understand.

While he respected the man for his bravery, all Skad achieved with his death was buying two minutes.

If he was alive, Varian believed, Skad would've been able to inflict more damage on abyssals or save more humans.

Shaking his head, Varian held the hand of an unconscious injured old man. His hand transformed into a branch and emitted a soft green light.

When he was first taken into the ghost ship, the old man's chest was nearly cleaved and his heart was about to stop beating.
