Fight Against the Guardian

Veer was angry, but he was also happy. He wouldn't have minded if Rain really left through the portal, as that was his intention all along. He had confidence in himself to get there by himself, after all.

But her decision to stay for him, even risking her life, warmed his heart. Even if it put both of their lives in danger.

'Ah! Troublesome woman!'

Seeing that the beast was thrashing around, Veer already had a guess as to what Rain was doing. So, he stopped and ran back towards the Mist Guardian.

Dodging its heavy body that was shattering the ground below, he jumped and launched himself into the air. His target was the beast's nape, where Rain was.

However, due to the snake not staying in one place for even a second, his landing was a bit off, and he landed on the beast's back, which was destroying the area as the Mist Guardian rolled around.
