Kang Oh stood up.

[You have been revived.]

[HP and MP have been fully restored.]

[For 10 minutes, your abilities increase by 20%, and damage taken is reduced by 50%.]

[Cooldown: 30 days.]

Kang Oh stared at Mayanes Krishan and bit his lip. 

'She got me good.' 

Everything was starting to make sense now. Now he understood why Diabol hadn't shown up when they were saving people, why he'd cursed at Krishan when he had first arrived, and why the ground had sunk! It was all part of her plan! 

Kang Oh took a look around. Sephiro lay motionless on the ground. 

'What about Eder?' He couldn't find his body. 'What happened to him?'

However, Eder was the least of his worries right now. After all, Mayanes Krishan was right in front of him!

"Hmm, give me your sword. Then I'll let you go." Krishan pointed at Ubist.

"I cannot do that," Kang Oh said. 'Do you know what Ubist is!? I'll never let you have it.'

"Give it to me." Her eyes were filled with killing intent.

"No... thank you. I'm immortal, so you won't be able to steal it from me anyway," Kang Oh said strongly, masking the anxiety he felt. 'C'mon, just leave already!'

"We'll just have to...
