Chapter 909: Sacrificed
Thud!
Before he knew it, he had fallen on his knees, tears streaming down his face.
Rima was indeed alive at the moment, but it wasn’t going to be the same for too long.
Her dantian had been destroyed and a very overbearing energy had severely injured her internal organs.
Though this energy had been neutralized by another energy and only faint traces of it remained, there was another destructive energy present in her body, constantly damaging her organs.
If not for the energy that seemed to have neutralized that other overbearing energy and endless streams of medicinal energy that kept trying to heal her, her organs would have completely pulverized by now and she would already be dead.
Max was familiar with this destructive energy. It was similar to the Devil Energy and this explained why it wasn’t extracted from her body yet.
The reason he became hopeless upon seeing it was because even though someone—most likely Sanya or Grand Elder Rowan—had neutralized Lord Grimheart’s energy—the overbearing one—they had apparently failed to extract it, and Max himself knew he wasn’t capable of doing it. After all, no matter how powerful his bloodline was or how miraculous Nascent Energy was, they were still too weak in front of an energy that came from a Monarch Rank Being.
“M..ax…”
Suddenly he heard a faint voice. Hurriedly wiping away his tears, he took a deep breath, put on a normal expression and stood up, gazing down at Rima, who looked at him with her barely open, swollen eyes.
“Yes. It’s me, babe. I’m here.” He crouched beside the bed, gently taking hold of her hand.
Rima’s bloodied lips moved slightly: “…I… love… you.”
Boom!
Suddenly, it was as if a nuclear explosion had gone off in his head. His ears started ringing, his vision swam, his heart slowed to a crawl and bloody tears poured down his eyes in unending streams.
…
Within his bloodline space, the Thunder and Garfield bloodline sources churned violently. But in the end, they fell silent.
After what seemed like an eternity…
Sigh!
A faint sigh echoed and the vast Lust Overlord Bloodline’s source shook and a small stream of pure energy disappeared, appearing within his heart before rushing up into his head, quickly stabilizing Max’s mind.
At the same time, a small part of this stream of energy entered his dantian.
…
Twenty minutes after Max entered the room…
Clack!
The door opened and he walked out.
The Medical Elder and Elder Milo both were aware of Rima’s condition, so they knew Max must be devastated. Therefore, they were prepared to console him and keep him company until he felt better if necessary.
However…
Their words remained stuck in their throats, and their pupils constricted when they saw him.
Ba-Dum!
Both Elders were over five hundred years old, the medical Elder was even nearing a thousand year mark. In their long lives, they had seen and experienced all kinds of things and their hearts had long become stable like mountains. But upon seeing Max now, their hearts quivered.
His face was pale white as if not even a single drop of blood was in his body. His previously enchanting sapphire eyes were now blood-red and emotionless as if they didn’t belong to a human but a devil.
Two dried up dark-red bloodied trails were clear on his cheeks which told them he had cried tears of blood.
Just how much agony he must have felt to do that?
His hair, previously luscious and vibrant light blue, were now seemed dry and lifeless and several streaks of grey could be seen within them.
Not only that, he was clearly a lot thinner and his steps were unstable as if he would fall the next moment.
“Elder… Please go heal her.” Ignoring their stunned looks, Max bowed to the Medical Elder and requested, his voice hoarse and low.
“Ah, yes. I’ll go.” The Medical Elder pursed her lips, feeling really bad for him.
After she entered, Max turned to Elder Milo.
“Elder… Please help me get back to my cave…” Before he could finish, he lost consciousness.
Shua!
Elder Milo hurriedly caught him, preventing him from falling.
’You foolish child…’ He sighed and left the medical hall with him.
He was midway to Max’s cave abode when he got a message from the medical elder.
’Is she…’ Immediately, he thought that Rima had passed away and sighed. ’Rest in pe…What?’
He stooped in his tracks, his eyes opened wide.
After a long moment, he exhaled deeply and looked at Max in his arms, ’Just who are you?’
The message he received from the medical elder wasn’t about Rima’s passing, but…
[Elder Milo, I don’t know what the boy has done, but she is rapidly recovering now. That strange energy is gone.]
A moment later, he informed Grand Elder Rowan about what had happened and took Max to his cave abode.
…
Swoosh!
Not long after medical elder informed Elder Milo, Grand Elder Rowan appeared in the Medical Hall.
After checking Rima’s condition, he fell in thought. After a while, he said, “Show me what happened while he was in here.”
“Yes, Grand Elder.” The Medical Elder, standing behind him, said respectfully and took out a formation disk. After she tapped it a few times, a translucent screen appeared in the room.
Both watched as Max entered the room…
After a while, Grand Elder Rowan pointed at the formation disk in Medical Elder’s hands and it shattered, turning into dust.
“Forget what you saw.” He faintly said.
“As you command, Grand Elder.” The Medical Elder bowed.
“Make sure no one else finds out that she is recovering. You can dismiss others if you want. Keep only your trusted ones with you.” After saying this, he paused before adding, “Take care of her properly.”
“Yes, Grand Elder.” By the time the Medical Elder responded, Grand Elder Rowan had disappeared from the room.
A moment later, he appeared before Max’s cave abode and saw Elder Milo sitting in a chair and Max’s servant standing to the side.
Without them noticing, he slipped into the cave and watched the unconscious Max for a while.
“…He is as foolish as you, Raylus. He didn’t hesitate to sacrifice his future prospects.” He muttered, a gentle look appearing in his eyes.
A moment later, dark murderous intent pooled in his eyes, “…Grimheart.”
