Final Stand

[ Day 46 ]

Two days after his disappointment, Damian was still rushing forward after exiting one more branching. Ironically, the conditions that he imagined not too long ago had almost become fully his.

Just like the ones he had back on Earth, dark circles highlighted his unfocused eyes, and sweat droplets covered every exposed part of his body. If it wasn't for the Life Stone that he had just forced into his body, he would have really collapsed from fatigue.

'Again.'

In fact, Damian took yet another Life Stone and consumed it on the run. In his current zombie-like state, he needed to consume double the usual amount to keep himself from falling victim to that fatigue.

However, just as Damian threw away the lifeless stone, his half-sleeping mind was fully woken up once again.
