"My lady?" Adrian muttered with a satisfied smile on his face.
But the next second, all the power that filled him suddenly faded, and he found himself plummeting towards the ground as his wings faded.
"Huh?" It was the last thing he said before his consciousness completely faded.
Renelle's eyes widened as she saw this, and before her brain could fully process everything, her body had already moved towards him.
She caught him.
Not gracefully, of course, after all, he was a dead weight, moving fast, and her mana reserves were almost completely spent.
Still, she got her arms around him before he hit the ground and the impact drove her to one knee on the temple floor, causing the stone to crack beneath them from the force of it.
She stayed there for a moment, before looking down at him.
Adrian was completely unconscious with his full weight against her, and now that he was up close, she was given a first-hand view of the damage done to him.
