Chapter 79- Far Too Close (Part 1)

Talon's hazy eyes couldn't really read the notifications that he was receiving as he felt his body succumb to exhaustion. It was already a miracle he remained conscious this long and fought till the last second.

Now, when he was sure that things were finally over, the adrenaline finally depleted and the pain that he had accumulated in the past few hours came rushing back like a train.

"I'm… a little… tired…" He murmured to Acrypha as his eyes slowly closed.

The latter held him tightly as she nodded her head. "You did well. Just rest now." She replied in a gentle tone.

Hearing her soothing voice, Talon's tiredness finally beat him and he lost consciousness, throwing his full weight on Acrypha's arms. The latter kept hugging him as she gently pulled her face away. She didn't care that his blood had covered her face and hair as she looked at him.
