Chapter 110: Waking up
Riven pushed forward again, driving his already crumbling body to the ground. Lance attacked again, wanting to end this all, but a massive ice wall blocked the sword.
Chloe gave Riven the same look she had given him during the exam after she assisted him. He nodded back at her and kept pushing.
Lance kept trying to attack, but everyone, in their own way, managed to distract him enough for Riven to finally get close. Riven leaped into the air, the flame around his sword increased, burning bright.
He swung with all his strength. The twilight cut through Amaterasu, the blade kept cutting and cutting, reaching the depths of it. Then, when it was about to reach Lance, Riven turned the sword to the side, using the broad side to slam Lance across the head.
The impact of the attack knocked Lance out instantly, and finally, the Amaterasu vanished, leaving an unconscious Lance there.
Riven looked at Lance, a small smile formed on his face before he fell forward. Mia rushed over and caught him before he hit the ground, completely disregarding the pain in her own body. Riven passed out in her arms.

Riven’s eyes fluttered open. The first thing his eyes saw when he woke up was Mia’s face looking down at him. There was a slight look of care and concern in her eyes, but it vanished instantly the moment she saw his eyes open.
"You are finally awake," she said. Riven immediately tried to get up from her legs, but she pushed him back down. "Rest up, you tasked your body too much," she said.
