The saintess let out a low hum of surprise but it was quickly replaced with disgust. "To think I'd see the day a fool would smile in the face of death."
She looked beyond Aden. Lorelei was in a similar situation as her Master, her head was crashed into stone by the heel of one of the Saintesses. A scar ran down the side of her face that dripped crimson. The second Saintess came behind her and pierced the pit of her knee with an annoyed expression as she spat a mouthful of blood on her head.
"Arghhh!!!"
Lorelei's screams reached Aden's ears and fuled his urgency to greater heights. The pain was excruciating, but he could feel his Resonance slowly thickening to alleviate the pain that coursed through every fiber of his being.
"Your comrades have fallen. You are weaker than the Princess anticipated," her eyes grew colder. "The Princess does not tolerate weakness."
