The burst of unbearable pain almost ripped him apart, followed by a strong sense of dizziness, as if his consciousness was leaving him.
Roland tightly clenched his teeth and turned his head to the side, merely to see that at the place his shoulder should have been, only a huge gap now remained — the hole in the basket at his back was sufficient to show the power of this blow.
This last round of attacks had completely ripped off the corner of the basket. While the blood which endlessly came pouring out, dyed his clothes red.
“No!” Nightingale’s heart-wrenching cry was the last thing he could hear before he lost consciousness.
Chapter 295 Wings spreading out
The moment that Nightingale saw Roland get hit, she could suddenly feel her stomach tightening.
The surrounding noises all became incomparable distant. When she tried to lift his body, she discovered that it had become stiff and cold, only his hands were still slightly trembling. Apart from her subconscious frightened shout at the beginning, she realized that even taking a step forward felt like an incomparable challenge.
She was afraid that Roland, lying in her bosom was steadily losing his warmth.
She was also afraid that he would never wake up again.
Just thinking of these things made it hard for her to breath.
Never in her life had she ever felt so helpless.
It was Anna who responded first — she crouched down and covered the wound with her black flame. White smoke immediately began to rise from the lightless flame while emitting a “zizi” sounds. When the black flame dissipated, the place where Roland’s arm had been torn off had already become scorched black.
However, the unceasingly flowing blood had stopped at least.
She slowly turned her head to the Southeast, looking in the direction of Border Town –
At this moment, the Devils’ fierce appearance, with them baring their fangs, and brandishing their claws came into Nightingale’s view once again, pulling her thoughts back to the current situation inside the basket.
The panicked shouts of the witches, the cracking sound of the revolvers, and the low growls of the enemy all came back into her perception. After the coldness subsided, all the various and disorderly thoughts in her mind finally came together to become one.
“Don’t try to beat the Devils, if they catch up; we are unable to return to Border Town.”
“Lightning!” Anna exclaimed anxiously, “Protect the hot air balloon!”
Although the little girl’s complexion was pale, after looking towards the still unconscious Roland, she gritted her teeth and nodded before she flew out of the basket.
Nightingale took a deep breath, she forced all of her thoughts concerning the wounded Prince behind a makeshift veil at the back of her mind.
