A clear snap resounded.
Neo looked at Morrigan's broken leg with wide eyes.
Her injuries must've been bad if the bone broke with a slight pull.
"You…!"
She bit her lips.
Just when Neo thought he won, his stomach burned.
The feeling was the same as a hot knife, stabbed into his injury, being twisted.
He looked down.
Faint lightning sparks slithered around his injury.
'This damned woman! She used Lightning Seed's energy when she stabbed me!'
Morrigan's divine energy, rampaging inside his body, wouldn't disperse unlike normal situations.
She could kill him if the situation continued.
Neo grunted.
He wrung his blood dry to use Divine Energy.
He touched her with Necrotic Touch.
Morrigan, within his hold, could not dodge.
She let out a subdued scream when the Death Mark appeared on her leg.
At the same time, she used her divine energy to mess up Neo's inside.
She glared at him.
"Stop if you don't want to die…"
"You first…"
Neo increased the intensity of Necrotic Touch.
The two did not back down.
To break the stalemate, Neo used the Darkness.
The shadows on the ground quivered.
That was all.
Neo, after losing too much blood, had only a bit of Divine Energy left, and he used it for Necrotic Touch.
The appearance of Darkness element surprised Morrigan.
She let the control of her Divine Energy slip.
Neo used the chance to increase the Necrotic Touch's intensity to maximum.
He waited for her to retaliate.
But.
Nothing happened.
Morrigan was knocked out.
Neo let go of the hold and sprawled on the ground.
He stared at the sky.
"Hahaha, this is crazy."
Neo won.
Against the strongest Demigod of his generation.
He defeated Morrigan.
He basked in the glory of victory until the reality slammed him down.
His injuries hurt and he lost too much blood.
"I can cauterize the wound with Necrotic Touch, but…"
He was in no condition to fight.
If someone found him, they wouldn't hesitate to take him out.
After all, Neo painted a target on his back when he chose the rank 1 token.
"I need to hide until I recover to a better state."
He pushed his lead-like limbs and staggered to his feet.
The injury on his stomach was not lethal, or maybe it was, and he couldn't think straight due to anemia.
Neo was about to leave when his eyes wandered to Morrigan.
She was alive.
Anyone who found her would rescue her to curry favor with Zeus Clan.
But there was no guarantee it would happen.
It was possible for her to die of blood loss because no one found her.
He covered his face, trying to think if he should do it or not.
"…Dammit."
He was fucked if she died.
The Morrigan Family would come after him.
Not to mention, he would lose a powerful future ally.
"Hey, wake up."
Neo hit her cheeks.
There was no response.
With no other choice, he carried her on his back.
