Chapter 151
"Gasp... Haa..."
Margarita, her appearance in shambles, breathed heavily like a fish out of water. Even though she was out of the ground, her difficulty in breathing showed that the shock of being buried alive had taken quite a toll on her.
I waited for a while, giving her some time to calm down. I could feel her gaze on me, but I decided not to focus on it for now.
"...I have something to ask you."
"..."
"I'll spare your life. But tell me what you know about Orbis's whereabouts."
"...Ha."
Margarita finally let out a sigh that sounded like a derisive chuckle.
"Are you saving me just to ask about my mother?"
"Ah, just speak plainly. You survived the landslide on your own. I didn't save you."
I had indeed triggered the collapse of the cliff, but I never expected her to die from it. Great mages don’t easily die, after all. Their innate mana unconsciously protects critical parts of their bodies like the head or chest from fatal harm.
Of course, they don’t die, but that doesn’t guarantee the quality of their life.
