Black mist rushed toward Kashius with a shrill wail—barring any accidents.
Once it struck, Kashius would have to report to King Yama.
Perhaps the heavens could not bear it. Just as the black mist was about to pounce on Kashius, a pair of dark eyes snapped open.
Immediately after, wave after wave of immensely powerful energy erupted, forcibly blowing the black mist away.
In truth, under Natashi's calls, Kashius's consciousness had long since awakened. But because his body was too badly injured, he had been unable to open his eyes and check his surroundings.
However, although Kashius had awakened at the critical moment, the previous separation ritual had also left him utterly spent.
That burst just now had exhausted all his strength. He had no way left to stop the black mist's attack. When the black mist attacked again, Kashius really would be going to meet King Yama.
"Kashius!"
Natashi, who had originally closed her eyes, sensed that something was wrong and opened them. What entered her sight was the scene of Kashius erupting with power and blasting the black mist away.
Seeing this, Natashi could not help crying out in surprise and delight.
"Kashius! Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Natashi looked at Kashius and asked with concern.
Bullshit. How could I possibly be okay? Of course I'm hurt. Can't you see how badly I've been beaten? AOE—I'm about to meet King Yama.
At this moment, though Kashius somewhat rejected Natashi's words, the look he gave her grew softer and softer.
Although Kashius's body had been unconscious, his mind had been awake.
He still had a rough idea of what had happened just now.
If a certain prairie girl had not knocked the Wizard unconscious and ruined the separation magic ritual, he would have gone to meet King Yama
