Chapter 304: Revenge Driving Force
The burly man blinked his eyes open, revealing his dark irises. He surveyed his surroundings, turning his head from left to right, searching for his companion.
Although the cave was typically shrouded in darkness during nighttime, daylight seeped in through cracks, casting a faint glow.
The sound of approaching footsteps heightened his senses. He swiftly raised his upper body, ready to defend himself.
His left hand instinctively reached for a small dirk at his side, preparing to arm himself against the potential intruder. With keen eyes, he observed a man clad in a worn robe entering the cave.
"It’s me," the approaching man announced, his rough voice serving to assuage his companion’s wariness.
The man in the robe drew nearer, carrying a water skin in his hand.
"You seem to be doing better now, Brone," the man remarked.
"Better?" Brone scoffed, his voice filled with scepticism.
His gaze shifted downward to his right, and his eyes reflected the devastation he felt as he beheld the absence of his right limb.
"Is being crippled something you consider as a good outcome? What a mockery! I would rather die than live like this!" Brone shouted, his frustration and despair echoing through the cave.
"Don’t be foolish! I used most of my magic to heal us both!" the man in the robe yelled back, frustration evident in his voice as he sat beside the Bargesian leader.
