Back?

In the middle of the cathedral, Eric was lying unable to move. Over him was Olivia, who had placed her right hand on his head and her left hand on his chest.

She was using everything she had to keep him alive.

Eric's tendons, bones, and nerves slowly began to heal, only to be burned again, as his body was still too hot.

Of course, as Olivia had placed her bare hands on him, her skin also began to melt slowly, but she ignored the pain as best as she could and concentrated every fiber of her being.

"Don't you dare die! If you do, how will I look Aria in the eyes again?!" she cried as she felt the last of her energy slowly leaving her, trying to keep him stable.

Tears began to fall down her cheeks as she whispered quietly,

"Please, I don't want you to die…"

The black matter that seemed to pulse from time to time sensed the uninvited guests, and it slowly spread toward them.
