"Hah! I'm not that weak," I muttered, moving my trembling fingers toward the screen.
But before I could reach the window, I saw a figure approaching me through the translucent display.
"Is that you... Pretty lady?" I whispered, staring at the person with my blurry eyes.
"Why aren't you activating Ruru's blessing? Look how injured you are," Nymeria said softly, holding my hand as she came closer, her figure becoming clearer.
"Haha, it is indeed you—cough..." I mumbled, the words barely leaving my lips.
"I'm asking you something, idiot. Please activate the blessing now," she shouted, her voice cracking with every word.
"Not yet—cough... cough—That skill exhausts my mind. I need it strong for a bit longer," I replied, blood spurting out along with the words.
"Are these veins the reason you aren't activating it?" she asked, pointing at the cursed veins appearing on my body from Jambavan's chest.
