Chapter 79: Aria's Determination
Scene: The battlefield at the borders of the South Nation. Eren stands protectively in front of Aria, ready to face Lumea. The tension is palpable as the warriors prepare for the next clash.
Narrator: With Aria nearly defeated, Eren steps in to face Lumea. But Aria, determined to finish her own fight, refuses to stand down.
Eren: (firmly) Aria, let me handle this. You've done enough.
Aria: (struggling to stand) No, Eren. This is my fight. I need to finish it.
Eren: (concerned) But you're hurt. You can barely stand.
Aria: (determined) I won't let her win. I have to do this.
Eren looks at Aria, seeing the resolve in her eyes. He nods, stepping back to let her continue the fight.
Eren: (softly) Be careful.
Aria faces Lumea once more, her body bruised and battered, but her spirit unbroken. Lumea, seeing Aria's determination, smirks and prepares for the next round.
Lumea: (mockingly) Still want to fight? You should have stayed down.
