Before they could face the final trial, the Bone Dragon, they had to fix themselves.
Their supplies were gone. Bodies pushed past their limits.
Rina's death had left a huge hole in their strategy.
Without her, they had no steady source of healing. No way to recover from the wounds the final battle would surely inflict.
Summoning her ghostly form was a temporary fix. Her cold, efficient healing took a constant, heavy toll on Dante's mana.
In a long fight, he would be forced to choose between keeping his healer or commanding his army.
It was an unacceptable tactical weakness.
The ancient maps they had claimed spoke of two legendary sources of power in this final zone.
Hidden in forgotten corners of the floating islands.
A spring of healing. And a well of pure mana.
Finding them was not just a priority. It was their only path to survival.
Dante split the team.
