"She is alive," Anna said, her brow furrowing slightly with worry. "But she appears extremely weak. Ever since Cassie and Bunny brought her back from the tomb, she has been in a deep slumber. Her body is completely exhausted, and her inner energy is barely a flicker."
Gabriel nodded silently. He pushed open the wooden door of the medical building and stepped inside, followed closely by Anna and Seraphina.
The room was clean, quiet, and smelled faintly of fresh herbs.
On the bed at the far end of the room lay Sophie. Her face was completely pale, and her breathing was slow and shallow. Faint, microscopic veins of green light occasionally flickered beneath her skin, but they were weak, as if the light inside her was fighting to stay alive.
Sitting around her bed were the core survivors of the tomb expedition—Ragnarok99, Cassie, and Bunny. Their armor was still dented and scratched, and their faces carried the deep exhaustion of the battle.
