Chapter 204: Slaying The Guardian

Carrisa could hardly focus. The massive, thirty-meter-tall guardian loomed before her, its presence oppressive and unyielding. Once a three-headed monstrosity, it now stood diminished, with only one remaining head. Alicarde had destroyed one head before departing to confront Zagarath, while she had severed the other the moment she arrived.

With her addition, she had made Argint stay out of the fight… much to her dismay. Though she didn't argue trusting that Carrisa had her reasons.

'I should be at his side,' she thought, her formal demeanor momentarily slipping under the weight of her concern.
