I let out a scream, racing forward. Her group had already been retreating through the portal. She kicked Eliana at and then leaped back through the portal. I didn’t even watch as the portal closed. My arms went to catching Eliana, and I was healing her before her body even reached the ground. I imdiately pushed my soul against hers, using it to stabilize her as I worked on the wound.
Eliana was much more vulnerable to miasmic attacks than anyone else. She might have been my slave, but she had spent almost no ti around the dungeon. She hadn’t grown a defense to miasmic attacks, and more than that, she was half-fey, a species who was extrely vulnerable to miasmic attacks. That was part of the reason it was so surprising to see them using those weapons, although they were the only weapons a fey could use to effectively deal with invaders that had already grown acclimated to Gaia.
I could hear distant screaming and shouting. Occasionally, the ground would shake. The full invasion had started once again. However, I ignored all of it. My focus was on Eliana and her healing. I pushed it to the limit, and if I hadn’t given everything I had instantly, it was very likely she would have died. Thankfully, her face started to look better, and her complexion started to look better. I felt a hand grab my shoulder.
“Master! They’re all attacking at once. They’re breaking through. We need to get out of here.” First declared.
They had been waiting for this mont to attack. They had the lore now, there was no point in holding back.

“What is going on? There is so kind of beam in the sky!” The counciln at so point had shoved his way into the room as all the security broke down.
“My soul… they’re doing it. They’re using the human core.” Anne gasped.
I ignored these words as well. My eyes were focused on Eliana. I finished the last bit of healing, and her eyes fluttered open. She was safe.
“T-the baby…” That was all she said before falling back unconscious.
I touched her stomach. It had been so frantic I hadn’t been focusing on that part first. I felt around with my magic, and I felt nothing there.
“W-where is it?” My hand moved up and down her stomach. “Where is it?”
“We need to go, Master.” Alysia tried to grab my other shoulder.
“Where is the baby? Where is it?” I demanded as I realized the world was turning blurry.
The blurry shape of Anne kneeled across from . She touched Eliana and then sighed.
“She’ll be okay.” She sounded a bit surprised, and I could hear the other girls give sighs of relief.
“The baby! I don’t sense it!”
First and Alysia’s hands felt extrely heavy as if they were trying to hold down.
“Deek… a lore that hasn’t even begun…”
I shook my head. “I’m not talking about lore. Where’s my child?”
“Unborn… can’t be resurrected. Their soul is too weak. For a soul that fragile, to be struck with a malacrum dagger. It’s already a miracle you saved the woman…”
“No…” I continued shaking my head. “No!”
The ground was shaking so much. No, I was falling over. The world faded as I passed out.
