Damon adjusted his grip slightly, his expression sharpening as he made his decision.
Originally, he had planned to stop after opening a single ridian for each of them, just enough to stimulate growth, just enough to test the waters. Rushing advancent like this was dangerous even for elites, let alone people he cared about. The human body needed ti to adapt. ridians weren't doors ant to be kicked open all at once.
But the reality unfolding in front of him forced him to reconsider. All three of them were handling things surprisingly well. It looked like their special constitution was not for nothing.
Lirae and Aurora were unique races with a lot of special latent potential. Kate might not have any unique bloodline but she was a blood follower of Damon, personally converted by him. Damon was not sure how much exactly sothing like that would help her as she only received so bonus stats in the beginning for becoming his follower. But now it seed like there were more hidden benefits.
Blood Reign's voice echoed softly in his mind, amused and approving. "Your blood does not rely empower, my liege. It refines. Those bound to you are being shaped by your path."
Damon exhaled slowly. Seeing how well they were adapting, he decided not to stop at just one ridian each. "Listen carefully," he said, voice calm but firm as he looked at the three won in turn. "I'm going to open more ridians. This will accelerate your growth, but it will also be heavier on your bodies. If at any point sothing feels wrong, you tell imdiately. No pushing through pain."
Aurora grinned, confidence shining in her eyes. "Hubby, I feel amazing. Do whatever you want."
Lirae nodded her head, crimson eyes steady. "I trust you completely, my love."
Kate swallowed, then nodded, her gaze unwavering. "I won't hold you back, Damon."
That was all the confirmation he needed. Damon patiently continued the sa process over and over, slowly breaking open all of their ridians in their hands and legs.
While this was going on, a couple more figures walked over to the secluded grotto. It was none other than ira, Phoenix and Sylvara. The three won walked into a scene that was nothing short of a porn shooting site.
But before Damon was forced to explain the awkward situation, Aurora chid in with a big smile. "Hubby… I hope you don't mind. ira also has an entrance token to the Golden Throne event and she would benefit a lot from this process. She is my best friend and I have kind of been a jerk to her lately. Could you do help her for , please? Please? Pretty please?"
ira stood there, her eyes wide as they darted between the naked, flushed forms of her friends and the sheer power radiating from Damon. Behind her, Phoenix and Sylvara watched everything with wide eyes.
Damon awkwardly scratched his chin. He did not have the heart to say no to Aurora but at the sa ti right now every bit of ti he had was precious. No matter how tempting this whole situation was, he simply couldn't justify wasting his personal training ti.
Seeing his silence, Phoenix quickly spoke up. "I am sorry to barge in like this but we happened to be near ira when she received the ssage from Aurora and we ca here uninvited." She paused and then continued, "But if you could help us also, then I can provide sufficient compensation. I have recently co across a unique body purification alchemy formula which is connected to an ancient heritage. I only have a part of it but I can share it with you. It could help you further temper your body."
As she spoke those words, her eyes road around a little on Damon's body and a shade of red crossed her face before she once again regained her calm and collected appearance.
Damon did not say anything imdiately and silently considered her proposal. "Sylvara, do you also have an entrance token to the Golden Throne event?"
"Yes." Sylvara answered without pushing him for helping her. She did not need to. With their history, Damon would have done it for her anyways. It was just that he was very short on ti right now.
Ultimately, there were so things more important and he simply couldn't afford to take more ti out of his personal training. He hated it but he would have to say no to these won at least for now.
Damon shook his head and was about to explain to them when suddenly Little Red giggled and spoke up in his mind. "My liege… I can see that from the look on your face, you are about to refuse these wonderful blood slaves… cough… friends… but I suggest that you do not do so."
Damon did not entertain the little villainess. "Watch your words, you rascal. They are indeed my friends. You should not disrespect them like this and definitely should not harbor any ill feelings towards them. I will eventually help them out just not now. I don't have the ti."
Little red responded with a pouty voice, clearly displeased at being called out. "But my liege, you can always do multiple won at the sa ti?"
"Huh? Do?" Damon coughed awkwardly. Thankfully the conversation was happening ntally so he did not have to explain to anyone else. "Do you an use my blood essence on all of them simultaneously?"
"Yes." Little Red suggested. "Not everybody's constitution is as complicated as the fallen angel's so it wouldn't be very difficult for you to focus and awaken multiple targets at the sa ti." "It will also be a good training for you my liege in intricately controlling your blood essence. Perhaps it might even help you figure out how to store the stat points from your body in a small part of the blood essence."
"Hmmm…" Damon thought about it for a mont. If he could really do all of them at the sa ti, then he no longer had any constraints about helping them out.
