Gathering the last bit of his strength, Varian ran to the wolf, no, he sprinted to his unconscious mother.
His feet stung as if he was walking on fire and he nearly collapsed a couple of times as his center of gravity was messed up due to his missing right arm.
A body filled with third-degree burns, a missing arm spilling blood like a fountain, and broken bones from the crash.
The pain was enough to make even an experienced awakener faint. But Varian not only stayed awake through all that pain, but he also ran. And he ran as if his life depended on it.
Since he collapsed not far from the far wolf, he reached in two seconds. And right then, the beast growled and jumped forward.The air suddenly grew cold and a dark sword appeared in the air and dashed down.
The wolf's head flew into the air and its headless body crashed into the ground, revealing the silver-haired woman standing in front.
Her purple eyes were brimming with a killing intent that consumed her rationality. After killing the wolf, she glanced at the injured Varian and confirmed that he was safe.
Then, she turned to the only other person in the alleyway, intending to eliminate this 'threat' as well.
Enigma walked to the unconscious Amanda step by step. As the woman's face was closer, Enigma's purple eyes flashed with confusion but the tiny bit of rationality was engulfed by the endless killing intent.
A dark spear appeared in her hand and Enigma aimed it at Amanda.
But before she could throw it, she heard footsteps from behind and a bloodied hand grabbed her arm holding the spear."Enigma, don't!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Enigma's eyes flashed with some rationality but the killing intent continued to dominate her.
Pulling her hand away, she raised the spear.
"Enigma, it's Amanda! She's not a threat! Enigma! En—" Varian could no longer bear to stand up and held onto her body for support.
With each word he spoke, blood spilled out of his mouth and drenched Enigma's dress and hair.
Feeling the warm and sticky liquid, Enigma's arm shook.
"Control yourself, she isn't a threat. I'm safe…I'm safe…" Varian felt his head spin from the blood loss.
No longer able to even properly stand by holding Enigma, he slid down and fell to the ground.
Enigma's eyes were filled with confusion and killing intent. Her rationality was about to prevail, but the killing intent won out by a small margin.
"Die!" Enigma raised her spear and channeled her darkness mana.
As she was about to release the weapon, she felt a sticky liquid flowing down her ankle.
Turning around, she saw Varian in a trance, grabbing her ankle and muttering. "D-Don't…Enigma…don't…"
His blank eyes stared at her until he fainted powerlessly.
The sound of his face crashing to the ground was light. But it ran like a heavy drum in Enigma's ears and froze her in place.
"Wh….at am I doing?" Enigma's rationality finally overcome her killing intent and she hurriedly dropped her weapon.
With tears swirling in the corner of her eyes, Enigma ran to the house and came back with healing medicine.
"V-Varian…" Enigma sobbed as she fed the injured Varian healing medicine.
The medicine wasn't very expensive, so the bleeding barely stopped.
With a burnt body, torn arm, and broken arms, Varian looked like he was about to die any moment.
The ambulance was still two minutes away.
But looking at Varian's terrible injuries and his paling face, Enigma felt her heart shatter into pieces.
"Don't go! Don't go!" Please…"
Drip! Drip! Drop!
Teardrops fell on Varian's face like a gentle rain.
"I…" Varian opened his eyelids and saw the face of a sobbing Enigma.
Varian turned his neck with difficulty and saw his unconscious mother breathing in the distance.
He then turned back to Enigma. He had never seen her this heartbroken. Even when the Shadow Guardians were massacred, her eyes weren't so sad.
"I…I…see," Varian smiled weakly.
The world began to collapse and everything turned into specks of light. Even though she felt it, Enigma continued to hold Varian and look at him until the last moment, saying "Don't leave, the ambulance will be here soon…"
"Haaa!"
Varian returned to the trial space in the same condition. But his powers were unlocked.
The Plantae path worked at full force and in a few minutes, Varian stretched his regenerated right arm and changed into a new dress.
A light flashed a few seconds later, and a sobbing Sarah and a heavily injured Sia appeared.
After a few minutes of healing and venting emotions, the two narrated their incidents.

Sarah returned just a few minutes before Pluto was attacked, killing a billion, including her brother and mother.
With just two minutes left, Sarah had only one chance. If her brother and mother wasted even a bit of time, they might die.
She had to get them out of Pluto as fast as she could.
So, she called her brother. The young man with blonde hair and blue eyes, just like his sister, lifted the call and was about to greet his younger sister.
But she stood with a knife placed over her neck.
"Sarah!" His heart froze and he hissed in fear! "D-Don't! Please! Let's talk!"
Sarah looked at him with tears and slowly pushed the dagger into her neck, avoiding the artery. But the blood still spilled out of her delicate neck.
"Come back with Mother! Now! Or I'll die!" Sarah said with red eyes. "Teleport! Don't pick a spaceship!"
Sam nodded with tears in his eyes. He didn't know what was going on. He was about to be awarded one of the most coveted awards. But he didn't even think about it and dashed out of his room with tears swirling in his eyes.
Sam Albert, a man known for his cold-heartedness, was seen in tears.
No one believed the rumors.
A minute later, he jumped into the teleportation gate with his bewildered mother and the two disappeared.
Only a few seconds later, the Abyssals attacked Pluto and destruction ensued.
After seeing that her brother reached Neptune and was on his way home, Sarah wailed until the world was drowned in white.

Sia also went to that fateful night. Just a few seconds after Enigma woke up and was about to attack the wolf.
She tried her best and took back control from Enigma at the last moment, preventing the tragedy.
Doing so, she saved Amanda's life and the tragedy of her life didn't repeat here.
