The group soon started to recover enough to stand up, though Gaia and Liu would still need a bit more care.
They could only thank Hoffen and Gregor profusely for their rescue. Gregor just nodded with a straight face while Hoffen waved his hand, as if shooing them away.
He even seemed annoyed and everyone stopped bothering him, just remembering the gratitude in their hearts.
They then turned to Cyna's corpse—being handled by Koro—and knew immediately what had happened.
Cyna… definitely tried shielding Gaia with her own body. Things just happened too quickly, their enemy too fast, for anyone to be able to react on time.
If she hadn't been there, then the damage to Gaia—who no longer had working defensive equipment—would've been far worse.
Perhaps… if she didn't do so, the Lady wouldn't have been able to hold on long enough for Hoffen's rescue.
The thought of their mother losing her life, too, made her family's bodies weaken in dread.
