"Nessia… please. Escape this island," Charles said, doing his best to cling to his will.
After entering the portal with Alex, Nessia was teleported near Charles.
Unfortunately, the young man had cleared the First Trial earlier than Alex and had been inside the Hermit's Challenge for a few days.
Time moved differently inside the Hermit's World.
An hour in Hy-Brasil was equivalent to a day inside the challenge.
As a result, Charles' Synchronization Rate had already reached 90%.
He only snapped back to his usual self when he saw Nessia appear before him.
"I can't leave you here, Charles." Nessia hugged her lover, who was wearing a set of pitch-black full-plated armor. "If I have to escape, we must escape together!"
"Nessia… there is no tim—rghhh!" Charles clutched his head as a dark aura began to surround his body. "Please, just go! While I can still… control myse—rggghhh!"
"I'll come back for you!" Nessia hurriedly ran away. "I promise!"
