Chapter 8: Ch 8: Securing the Core - Part 1
By the time they reached the boss room, Selene's arm was throbbing. It felt as if fire was running through her arm and it felt impossible to move it.
It wasn't just a dull ache anymore. Every step sent a fresh wave of pain crawling up her shoulder, sharp and persistent.
She regretted staying quiet.
She should have said something before it got this bad.
But now, it was too late.
The others were already entering the boss room, their focus entirely on the battle ahead.
No one had time for a weakling like her.
The only consolidation she had was the fact that this raid would be over soon and she would get a doctor to look at her arm.
Selene lingered near the entrance, breathing heavily. She pressed a hand against her arm, wincing at the heat radiating from beneath her sleeve.
That's when she felt a presence near her.
Ethan Park.
