Chapter 48- The Rise (Part 6)
The moment the bullet left the barrel, Rein's body moved as he leaped forward, wrapping his arms around Emily as he covered her body with his. Then, Rein felt a strong impact on his back, followed by an overwhelming burning sensation that took over his senses. He felt as if his entire body had been paralyzed.
Emily was completely shocked and silent, not even understanding what was happening. She just stared at Rein silently, her eyes blinking slowly.
Rein clenched his teeth as he looked up at her. "Are you… ok?" He asked.
The girl, still in shock, nodded her head faintly. So, Rein smiled faintly before he released her and turned around, looking straight at the culprit. It was none other than Virgo, with a strong glare on his face.
Rein then slowly stood up as he grunted under his breath. The bullet had dug deep into his back, so every move hurt greatly.
"Hah…" Virgo smirked. "You were ready to protect that little girl with your life, huh, Rein?"
