As Dante crawled out of the crater while dragging the unconscious Asphodel behind him, he tried standing up, but his legs trembled and gave out each time.
The warlock groaned with both annoyance and exhaustion. He could barely remember a time when he had to use all of his power during a fight, and the numerous wounds on his body didn't make it easier on him.
After a few seconds of struggling, Dante managed to carry Asphodel on his back, and as he sensed the unknown presences approaching, he could also sense Sami and Lexia.
'Shit, I used so much umbra… I hope Sami can still detect it,' Dante thought.
While waiting for the cyborgs to arrive and pick him up, Dante heard loud steps marching to his location.
He gazed to the other side and saw a large group of soldiers wearing tactical armor turning the corner, which made it evident that they were looking for Dante.
