Chapter 69: A Well-Deserved Rest

After an unknown period of time, the only person left in the crater suddenly opened his eyes.

"Haa!" He couldn't help but exhale a large amount of air as soon as he woke up. 

He quickly sat up and began to survey his surroundings, the confusion he was feeling was visible on his face.

'Am I... alive...?' Jared thought as he clutched his chest, he knew he had fallen unconscious before Garel, so it really was a surprise that he was alive.

For some reason, there was no one near him, neither the bandaged man nor Garel, as if they had simply left him there. 

Seeing that, he decided to take advantage of the situation and slowly began to get up. Although his body was still extremely weakened and sore, he knew he had to get out of there quickly, he wouldn't want other enemies to arrive at this moment.

"!"

However, the moment he tried to stand up, he felt a great weight crush his body, forcing him to stay down.
