The battle was over.
The demon's that had attacked the Academy had vanished, disappearing alongside the mysterious white beam of light that had pierced the sky.
The enormous mass of purple energy created by Leonardo and the nameless old man had also disappeared, leaving no trace of its existence.
When the people finally arrived at the scene, they were met with a horrifying sight.
Louis was lying unconscious on the ground, one of his arms missing. Nearby lay the old man's corpse, so badly mutilated that it was almost impossible to recognize him.
The battle had ended, but the aftermath was far from peaceful.
And for the people who cared about Louis, the worst part was yet to come.
"How is Louis? Has he still not woken up?"
Elena asked Viola as soon as she entered the hospital room.
Viola, who had been sitting beside the bed, slowly shook her head.
"Not yet. He's still asleep."
Louis had been found unconscious at the scene and brought to the Academy's hospital immediately.
