Paying Back A Favor

Blake turned his head the moment he heard Midwak say those words, telling them to pull back.

Although they had been hit away from the ruins of the cabin, Ylva had yet to move and was still standing there.

To Blake, it was almost as if she was standing on top of his father’s body. He wanted to do whatever he could to push her off.

The one person to suggest such a move as well was the one that Blake felt like had the most reason to pull back from the mission.

“Midwak, don’t say something so stupid!” Blake shouted. “We came here for one reason and that was to get my father. Gary and everyone is fighting so hard—even now he’s fighting hard!”

“You don’t understand!” Midwak shouted back. “The reason why I’m saying we need to fall back is because of Gary. He can’t—he can’t last much longer like this!”

Midwak was more than correct. Gary’s special form actually even did harm to his body, slowly dwindling his HP.
