132: Coming back alive - part 1

There is a time when one has to choose between duty and personal desire. That was where Aurora found herself currently at.

Even when Rita was falling right in front of her, Aurora felt powerless to do anything to stop her fall.

It would be easy for Aurora to cast a spell and save Rita but it would mean letting go of the absorbing crystal. And if Aurora let go of it, then the corruption stored inside the crystal would explode.

It would reduce all her effort to zero and the Northern Continent would sink into the abyss.
