Shelly and Rin reunited once he had the core, but the calamity became even more unstable, causing Rin to create a barrier of ice to protect himself and Shelly.
Thankfully, his ice held on long enough to contain the calamity and absorb the explosion that was about to happen.
However, it exhausted him to handle the situation alone, and his legs gave out beneath him.
[Warning: Your body is in no position to continue using your powers. Please rest and recover before you use your powers again.]
The system warned Rin, and he looked at it with a bitter expression.
'Rest? I have no time to rest. I need to keep going…'
But his body refused to move, causing Rin to let out a sigh.
Luckily, he had Shelly to help him around, and she helped him sit against the wall.
"Rin, does anything hurt? Can I help you in any way?"
Shelly had a panicked expression on her face, which made Rin feel guilty. He had not expected to cause Shelly such panic.
"I will go and drag Reina here, so you-"
