Vanessa did not even know she had fallen unconscious until a cold chill woke her up. The pain and exhaustion hit her like a storm, her limbs hanging hollow of strength beside her. She barely had the energy to open her eyes and look at a dark figure kneeling above her.
A stream of freezing energy poured into her body, suddenly waking her up and lightening the grogginess in her head and clearing up her blurry eyesight.
It was Lina's impassive face, bruise and bloody, but generally unharmed as it looked down on her.
"The team leader has ordered us to recover quickly," Lina said, her voice completely level. "Can you recover on your own? If so, I can attend to the others."
Vanessa became aware of a tall mud wall surrounding their group, leaving them out of view of the fight, yet the fight was still going on. The roaring and hissing of beasts could not be blocked by the walls, nor could the sounds of weapons clashing.
