983 The Beginning Of The End [Part 11]

After flying for several minutes, Lux finally landed on top of a mountain and hurriedly laid his Master on the ground.

The Halfling's breathing was slow and labored, surprising Lux a little, given the bloody hole through his Master's chest, where his heart was supposed to be.

Normally, it was not possible to survive such an injury, especially if their heart was not just stabbed but blown apart.

"… Lux," Gaap called out with difficulty. He attempted to raise his hand, but he struggled to even gather strength inside his body. 

"I'm here, Master," Lux replied as he held Gaap's hand, holding it firmly. "I'm here. Everything is okay."

"… Mmm." Gaap hummed as black blood seeped out of the corner of his lips.

His entire body had nearly turned black as if the Halfling bathed in black ink.

Only his neck and head still retained a bit of color, but Lux knew that it was only a matter of time before they, too, turned as black as ink.
