Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 522 Blood welled from the gash . Sebastian winced and drew a sharp breath . Ashera's eyes went bloodshot with fury . " Sebastian ! You fucking idiot ! " She swept her dagger through the air in a rapid flurry that left faint afterimages . The man's body looked like a punctured sponge by the time she finished . Byleth rushed toward the stage . " Sebastian ! " Ashera finally turned once the man lay fully lifeless . Gratitude and something deeper pushed her toward Sebastian . " I didn't know you'd stake your life to protect me , Sebastian ! " she cried . " I didn't think you would ...

" She stopped when she noticed Byleth already carrying Sebastian off the stage and settling him onto a chair . Byleth examined the wound with focused care . " You need to stop being so reckless . You're lucky he was too exhausted to put his full strength into that strike . Otherwise , you would have lost your arm , " Byleth said in a tone that carried rare concern . Her eyes even looked misty . " I'm fine . I've survived worse , " I said with a lopsided smile , waving my good arm . Byleth frowned . " Get that Goddess of Medicine to treat this . Or I'll take you to the hospital myself .

" She seemed ready to hoist me over her shoulder . She had no reason to stay here any longer while I sat injured . Ashera descended from the stage . Her expression stayed unreadable as she said , " Wait . I have an Elixir with me . It's an antihemorrhagic medicine . I'll apply it now . " " Thanks , " Byleth replied , though her voice carried quiet resentment . Even tired , Ashera should have been skilled enough to keep Sebastian safe . How had she allowed him to take the hit ? Ashera caught her look and understood it . " I'm sorry this happened , " she murmured , lowering her head .

She could see how much Byleth cared for him . She cared just as much . Byleth stepped aside , letting Ashera take over . Ashera worked quickly , applying the Elixir with skilled hands . I lifted my head and grinned at her . " That makes three times I've saved you . " 1/2 Chapter 522 +25 Bonus " Close your mouth . I never asked you to save me , especially when you're not even half as skilled as I am , " Ashera snapped as she dabbed the medicine onto my wound . It stung sharply , and I flinched . " God , that burns . " " Good . You earned it for trying to play the hero .

You liked pulling me into your arms , didn't you ? " Ashera shot back , her eyes reddening . I laughed . " I got used to close brushes with Death back when I worked as a firefighter . This is nothing . As long as you're alright , mission complete . " I glanced around and let out a relieved breath . That had been far too close . If Byleth and I had arrived even a few minutes later , Ashera would have died .
