Chapter 175: An Explosive Finish

As I hold onto Celine, I feel the warmth in her skin dwindle.

Her eyes falters and the strength in her dissipate.

She descends, but I catch her before she makes it to the floor.

I attempt to call out to her, but a voice booms and pierces the air, further siphoning what little strength I have left.

"The sun's coming out, everyone retreat!" The voice says, I raise my eyes to the clouds, and I find them parting, revealing the sun's rays bit by bit.

*BOOM*

My eyes are jolted back to the ship and I find a human had gunned down a creature right behind me.

It takes me a second to remember these creatures had seemingly made me their prime targets...but why?

"ge...get inside." Celine'voice emanates into my ears and like I fool I fumble.

I look down at her, I try to discover beneath this layers of fatigue, blood and sounds, the beautiful Celine I know.

But I don't find her, I feel...her life force...fading.
