The Chamber after Scarlet Passed Out
Seraphina feels real fear as she rushes over to Her Highness, the blood of ruin having begun to drain into the sandstone beneath them, turning it into red ash before all five of the Princesss bodyguards, herself included, imdiately begin using their blood magic to heal her. But she knows that even with their help, reattaching two arms and fixing all three of her hearts is too much for them to handle alone.
Nothing but panic fills Seraphinas head, and she quickly notices the sa looks on the other bodyguards faces.
Please dont die!!!!
Tears begin to drip down her face as she continues healing the Princess, focusing first on her hearts before alternating between her hearts after one of them is fixed and her severed arms. But to her surprise, she finds all of her body suddenly beginning to repair itself at frightening speeds, making her stumble backwards and pause her own healing job.
Out of the corner of her eye, she sees the others having stopped as well.
But the healing continues, with Scarlets body being completely restored within seconds, absolutely shocking all of the bodyguards.
Then the voice of His Majesty echoes through the room, saying, You did well not intervening.
All of the bodyguards imdiately kneel when they find the Demon King standing just a ter behind them, not a single one of them having noticed his arrival.
The guards keep their heads down as the Demon King walks over to his granddaughter and picks her up into his arms before saying, Lets go.
Seraphina and the other guards all stand up without any hesitation with a brief, Yes, Your Majesty.
Then they all fly straight out of the ceiling, shooting straight through the ground and out of the nest entirely.
Scarlet
I wake up, my eyes opening to find another canopy above my head with the sound of soone pacing next to the large and fancy bed I find myself in.
Why do I feel like Ive been in this situation before?
Because you have, Tar says, his head rising from underneath the blankets, making look down at him to surprisingly not find him worried. Why would I be worried when I knew the Demon King was watching you the entire ti?
My jaw drops open.
He was what?!
Your grandfather kept an eye on you as he dealt with his business throughout your entire trip, not taking his attention away for a mont, Tar says, making gape at him in shock. He told that he wasnt going to interfere unless you tried fighting sothing one hundred and seventy-five levels or more above you. And you didnt try that. So all he did was instantly heal you after you won.
I continue staring at him for several seconds until I hear soone clearing their throat, making glance to the curtain to find that whoever was pacing has stopped right out of the curtain. So I pull the curtain open to find Gramps standing there awkwardly.
Hi, he says with an awkward smile.
Oh. Right. He could hear Tars voice, so he could tell I was awake even before I made a sound.
I stare at him for a few seconds, my eyes narrowed as I do so, making him appear slightly nervous. But then I let out a sigh before lying back down on the bed again.
Thank you, I tell him with a faint smile on my face. And he practically begins glowing at those words.
I roll my eyes at that, only to turn onto my side and ask, How were you able to heal ?
Those wounds were pretty severe, and I never heard of the Demon King having a healing skill.
He blinks in surprise before seriously answering, Blood Domain and Life Energy Control. I blink at those two skills, so he explains, Blood Domain lets have absolute control over blood, rember? And blood is one of the most important things in your body. So I used Life Energy Control to transfer a small amount of my life energy into you to quickly heal the parts of you that didnt require blood, like sealing off your wounds and reattaching your arms before summoning blood copied from your own cells to replace the blood you lost. Then I simply transferred more life energy to you, healing all of your wounds with a large influx of it.
My jaw drops open.
He fully healed you from all of your wounds in just a few seconds, Tar adds as he climbs on top of my side and looks down at my face.
Gramps grins slightly with obvious pride.
He was able to reattach two arms, heal three hearts, and fix whatever other damage I had while restoring my blood in just a few seconds and this guy is supposed to be the strongest person in the universe in combat by a massive margin and is known for his combat without a hint of news about his healing
I stare up at him in a daze until I feel Tar tapping on the face with his paws as he says, Scarlet, snap out of it!
That has blinking before looking at Tar and then Gramps, who now looks slightly worried.
Youre too broken, I state rather bluntly with a short nod before sitting up in the bed, knocking the tanuki off along with the blanket. And to my pleasant surprise, I am wearing the sa thing I was wearing prior to falling unconscious.
aning no one changed while I was out.
Honestly, I think Im starting to make a nasty habit of almost dying and then going unconscious for soone to heal .
I should probably stop that.
You think? Tar asks, sounding more than a little sarcastic.
Yeah, probably.
Ill leave you alone now that youre awake, Gramps says with a light pat on my head that has one of my ears that he touches in the process twitching slightly. Im sure you want to check out your gains right about now.
I nod at that, frowning slightly at his hand but not moving it. Both because he saved , and I have my sensitivity severely toned down right now anyways. aning it isnt very uncomfortable.
He smiles rather widely after seeing not push him away before he turns around, removing his hand and beginning to walk away.
Its kind of creepy how well that old man seems to know sotis. Almost as if he can tell what I will and wont like and avoids it while making sure he can spend ti with and protect despite it.
Although it also makes feel slightly warm that I have a blood relative who actually cares about and hasnt done anything bad to .
Well, except the whole demon war thing. But hes at least stopping killing the civilians.
So theres that.
I shake my head to dislodge any more thoughts on my doting Grandfather before focusing on my System ssages with a grin of my own.
Ti to see what I got.
Ti to see what legendary skill youve unlocked this ti Tar grumbles, actually making laugh out loud due to how despondent and straight up defeated he sounds. Like hes gotten used to having his reality turned on its head by now.
Anyways, I let my System ssages flow.
