Chapter 47: Zero! Zero!
Zero's condition was very bad, but it was not life-threatening. If an Esper was trapped and went without food or drink for several days, they could still maintain their bodily functions for about a week to a certain extent.
I took off my coat and put it on Zero to cover his body, temporarily concealing the marks of pleasure all over him so that when Zero woke up, at least he wouldn't feel too embarrassed.
Then I tightly grasped Zero's hand.
"Zero, wake up! We're here to rescue you! Wake up and tear that monster apart!"
I held Zero's hand to transmit energy so he could recover quickly, while my worried gaze kept following the battle on the other side where Jo Hyun was constantly clashing with the black-smoke monster.
Jo Hyun was already an S+ rank Esper, yet fighting this monster was extremely difficult. Perhaps its level of danger even exceeded that of an S+ rank Rift Boss.
