Chapter 160: Xarion
Ethan finally turned away from Karl's crumpled form and fixed his gaze on the small figure peeking out from behind Seloria.
"Sylvie," he called, his tone calm now. "I suppose you've recovered some mana?"
Sylvie blinked, startled by the sudden attention. She nodded quickly, Seloria gave her a gentle nudge on the shoulder to calm her.
"Y-yes, Master," Sylvie said.
"Then come here."
Her steps were hesitant at first, but when she reached his side, Ethan's hand rested lightly on her head. His eyes shifted to Karl, whose face was swollen and bloodied.
"So," Ethan said quietly, "what was she to you?"
Karl's voice cracked as he croaked, "A… a kind lady…"
"Yes," Ethan replied, his voice edged with irony. "And now this kind lady will show you some kindness." He looked down at Sylvie. "Heal them."
Sylvie's small hands glowed with a soft, pearly light.
