Leticia closed her eyes for a mont to concentrate before suddenly her body started glowing with a beautiful purple light. She opened her eyes, brought her face closer to his and gently placed her savory lips on his broken and battered ones.
Then sothing strange, which if any normal people witnessed, they could call it… demonic, happened.
Max, whose injuries had barely seen any improvents after Belen fed him more than a dozen grade-three pills, started healing at a rate visible to naked eyes.
In just a few seconds, the layer of his broken skin shed and a new layer of babylike skin replaced it. His organs, which had suffered even more damage than his outer body and most difficult to heal, his battered mana core also healed, although it took more ti.
But on the other hand, as Max's injuries healed, the glow around Leticia's body faded and her face turned sickly pale. It seed as if all the vitality in her body was gone. However, there was a satisfied smile on her face. She removed her lips and took a step backwards.
As Belen watched Leticia kiss Max and then witnessed his injuries heal at a visible speed, she was stunned and even though she was happy for Max, she couldn't help but be worried about Leticia because she knew to achieve sothing like this, she would have to pay so price as nothing cos free.
Just like she expected.
Blergh!
Leticia suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the luster in her eyes dimd. Her body swayed like a withered leaf in the storm before she lost her consciousness and fell lifelessly to ground.
Whoosh!
Belen appeared beside her and supported her. She had a pained looked in her eyes as she gently stroked her hair and muttered, "I'm sorry for being harsh on you earlier. You are really many tis more worthy of his love than . I hope you won't hate ."
She then took out a dress, dressed her and then placed her on the flower bed beside Max while she sat down on the ground. She wanted to try feeding her so healing pills to recover, but she had exhausted her supplies trying to heal Max.
…
After recovering, it wasn't long before Max opened his eyes.
Feeling soone's presence beside him, he turned his head in their direction and found Leticia lying there; her face was sickly pale and seed too fragile, as if she would break if soone touched her.
"Just what happened after I passed out?" He asked while sitting up.
Seeing that he was awake, Belen stood up and explained everything that had happened without leaving out a single detail.
Max didn't say anything after everything, but his eyes had an extra layer of love and care for Leticia when he looked at her.
He then looked at Belen, who still had tear stains on her cheeks, and gently said, "I'm sorry for worrying you." Then he extended his right hand and pulled her into a hug.
Belen trembled in his embrace. Then a gratified smile appeared on her face. However, when she thought back to how she blad Leticia without thinking, she was filled with guilt and started sobbing quietly. "I'm sorry I didn't believe her, blad her and said those cruel words to her."
"Shh! It's alright. Don't worry about it. Everything's alright." Max said, gently caressing her back to comfort her.
Belen raised her head to look at him and asked, trying to suppress her sobs, "You… you don't bla ?"
"Do didn't do anything wrong. Why would I bla you?" Max smiled at her.
Belen beca dazed for a mont before she placed a soft kiss filled with gratitude on his lips and murmured, "Thank you."
His words eased the guilt and self-bla weighing on her heart. Feeling relieved, she slumped into his embrace and quickly fell asleep.
Max placed her on the bed and then turned to Leticia before taking out his grade-three healing pills. He then placed one pill in her mouth and used his mana to quickly dissolve it.
After he fed her five pills in a row, so colour finally returned to Leticia's face and her tightly closed eyes gradually relaxed. Now she seed to be asleep peacefully.
Phew!
He breathed in relief and lay on the bed, too. Although things had taken very surprising and dramatic turns, everything turned out to be alright in the end.
He had the required 150,000 LPs and could go to the demon continent. He had also affird his feelings for Leticia and Belen and knew no matter how many more won he had in the future, these two would always have a place in his heart.
Extending to caress Leticia's pale face, he said in his mind, 'Now I only hope healing doesn't leave any negative side effect on you.'
It was as if she could feel his concern for her, her lips lifted into a small smile.
At the sa ti, in his room, Anna was rolling around in bed, hugging her soft pillow.
"Argh!" She pouted in dissatisfaction and threw the pillow away. "Why hasn't he returned yet and why am I constantly feeling that Elder is bad news?"
"I think I need to warn him about it. Also, I will also tell him not to be away at night. Hmph!"
…
After three hours, Leticia opened her eyes.
Just then, she heard the voice she loved the most ask, "How are you feeling?"
She turned to her side and saw him lying beside her, looking at her with a loving smile.
"I-I'm alright. How about you?" She asked. Feeling guilty, she looked down.
"I'm perfectly fine. You don't have to feel guilty about anything, understand?" Max smilingly said, lightly flicking her forehead.
Leticia raised her head and looked at him after so hesitation, her eyes moist as she said, "But… I almost k-killed you."
"It's because you didn't know it was going to happen. So, it's not your fault. If you knew, I'm sure you wouldn't have tried to awaken your bloodline, right? Moreover, you've already healed , haven't you?" Max said, trying to make her comfortable.
"Okay." She nodded, biting her lower lips and trying her hardest to hold back her tears.
Seeing this, Max sighed. He knew she would always have this guilt in her heart.
