Chapter 544

Saffron PoV

"Hang on," I whispered as I channeled the mana I was absorbing into my cannon to fire away. It was so much energy that I launched more mana in a minute than what I used during the entire war. The sky crackled from the excess mana.

Rose winced. Even me taking out the excess mana from the cracks in her skin was hurting her. My heart felt like it was shattering into a thousand pieces. Sky Father, Earth Mother, please help her.

I took a deep breath, trying to center myself amidst the chaos. I had to stay strong for her and for Anis. "Rose," I said softly, my hands gently resting on her shoulders, "I'm here. We're going to get through this. You're not alone."

She looked up at me, her eyes shimmering with tears. "Saffron, it hurts… I don't know how much longer I can hold on."
