"RICHARD!" Bellarine's voice echoed louder than Ithryx's thunder as she saw her beloved being stabbed by the monster.
Bella was too stunned to speak, covering her mouth and witnessing the most horrifying scene of her life.
Everyone was in a panic, since, despite their connection with Richard, it was an inevitable fact that he was fighting from the side of humanity.
Even Bennet had a grim expression as he clutched the sword and readied himself to deal with the catastrophe.
However, against what everyone feared, Richard pushed himself away from Ithryx and flew a few meters away.
"Goddamn..." Richard took several long breaths as he realized that the wound on his stomach was taking longer than usual to heal.
'So that's the Eroding factor about which I was warned.' Ithryx's weapon and spell erode his enemy, claiming their ability to heal for a long time.
