Empty.
There was no wound yet her outfit was torn all the same.
No beast would be kind enough to let her go after that kind of ordeal so…
"Did you save me?" Ria asked, turning her gaze towards the figure sitting on a withered tree not far from her.
"Save is a rather broad term. I may have stopped you from dying but you're still trapped in Terminus girlie." Astrelya grinned in amusement. "I didn't kill these two either so they'll keep chasing you until you kill them."
Snapping her finger, a cage of starlight manifested, displaying the two beasts that she caught earlier.
Ria frowned.
"So here's what we're going to do. If you're too weak, dear Alice won't give me the time of day for our duel. So you need to improve. The best way would be the bundle of potential inside you but since you're firm on the matter, I won't push for it." Astrelya hopped off the branch and walked over to Ria.
