Auren stared with wide eyes as the leech before him went limp.
The guy behind him pulled him back. "Auren, you idiot, what did you do?"
Everyone stared wide-eyed as the moment Auren pulled his hand back, Viyron fell lifelessly onto the ground.
One guy rushed forward and placed his fingers on Viyron's nose.
The other three waited in suspense until the guy shouted, "Wait, he is still breathing. We have to hurry and send him to the castle."
Auren shouted, "No, if he dies there, it will be over for us."
The guy behind him shouted, "What else can we do?"
Auren looked at the trees beside the track.
Everyone gulped as they understood Auren's intention.
The second guy shook his head. "No, Auren, that's too risky. There's a high chance we will get caught."
Auren shouted while rubbing sweat off his face, "No, that's the only thing we can try."
