Chapter 201: Two Stars to Seven Stars (8)
Soon, everything disappeared, including the light so intense that it blinded its viewers’ eyes and the intangible air current that accoht and wind settled down, silence descended upon the area There a wolittered like the Milky Way and shone like the passing clouds in a bright sky She looked sacred and clean like there wasn’t a speck of impurity inside her And beyond her closed eyes, one could feel a sense of holiness and solemnity
Chi-Woo unconsciously fixed his posture and kneeled on one knee That was how holy and noble she appeared It was as if he was facing an angel who had come down to earth under God’s orders to save the world The woman slowly opened her eyes
“Oh…” Zepar exclaimed “Oh…Evelyn… Oh, oh…” Yes, this was it This noble and holy figure was the original Evelyn he had known Zepar had lived until now to corrupt such a being as her
“Co now, Zepar reached out to her like he was possessed Evelyn began to slowly descend from the air
“Yes…like that…” Zepar sreat effort to reach her, but his hands never did She wasn’t an angel he could taint with his filthy greed; instead, she was a divine being ould lay down her punishy touched him, darkness h The further Evelyn descended, the hter died down The last re disappeared The existence nahly erased froerly on the ground
She stared at the spot where the darkness used to be for a while before looking up and letting out a sigh The current of light around her got quickly sucked into her body She turned and walked up to Chi-Woo Chi-Woo was staring at her in a daze, but he got to his feet when she approached Evelyn stopped in front of him, and the two looked at each other
She stretched out both hands to hiht his hand to her left chest Chi-Woo hesitated, but his eyes widened upon feeling a beat
Thump!
He felt the faint, rhythmic jolts from his palms
Thump, thuer stiff and cold like a corpse Her hands were soft and war person It was then Chi-Woo felt an emotion he couldn’t put into words
“…How is it?” Evelyn whispered Chi-Woo finally regained his senses and looked up Did she even need to ask him? He was happy So happy that he could cry and so filled with joy he didn’t knohat to say His lips quivered as he opened his mouth
“Lady Witch…”
“Coly “I’htly than ever before
“I’ed to extinguish the great demon, Zepar, and save Evelyn Their expedition was successfully coain, but Chi-Woo had many questions For instance, he wondered how Evelyn was kidnapped in the first place, how she ca appearance at the end was Nevertheless, Chi-Woo decided to put off his questions for later He got clothes for Evelyn fro up Because of the strenuous battle they had all undergone, everyone was in a terrible state, including Chi-Woo
After all the tension of battle went away, Chi-Woo collapsed, and he found it difficult to even lift a finger He had already used up the ave him and all the divine water he had There was no way they could return to the capital city in this condition Even if they forced themselves back, two or three of them would die on their way As Chi-Woo worried about this matter, Evelyn stepped forward
She placed both her hands on Chi-Woo’s body and closed her eyes As she focused, faint light shot out of her hands Chi-Woo watched in surprise while light seeped into hihout his body Warmth filled him up like water, and he felt his exorcis able tohiain now
“No” But Evelyn advised hi and going berserk Your physical condition is okay considering you had just forcefully awakened your powers, and it was good you stopped before crossing a line But it still doesn’t change the fact that you went too far” She tapped the top of Chi-Woo’s head lightly
“I’ve boosted the strength of your blood, but you will have to rest for at least teeks Don’t do anything and just eat and sleep well Then your potential won’t be lost”
“Teeks? Isn’t that tooabilities in your blood into consideration If you were a normal person, you would have to rest for at least a couple months,” Evelyn explained, and Chi-Woo looked impressed with Evelyn’s expertise
“How do you knoell?” he asked
“Idiot What do you take a witch for? I can tell just by the look of your condition”
“I thought you said you weren’t a witch anyhtly twitched “I-It’s not like the knowledge I gained while I was a witch would disappear That’s what I was talking about, idiot” Her cheeks reddened as she hit Chi-Woo’s chest with her fists
“You said you were a saintess…right?” Chi-Woo asked after her barrage of harmless punches
“Yes, that is what I was told”
“You didn’t know?”
“What would a girl froined thathands and looked a bit bittersweet She hadn’t known the truth behind this power during her ti to do with her after her death Only after thousands of years did the power finally return to her
“But hoere you able to use that power? The majority of the Gods on Liber are…”
“Did you feed it?” Evelyn asked Noting Chi-Woo’s confusion, she continued, “I ive it your blood or any part of your body?”
“Yes, I did…and nothing happened”
Seeing Chi-Woo tilt his head, she save him at that time would have uses like this? Was Chi-Woo even aware that the Spirit’s seed had already recognized him as its master? And what itroot inside her heart?
“Well, it’s a hundred times better than Zepar,” Evelyn ” Evelyn smirked and turned around There were still many injured As expected of a saintess, she fully healed Jin-Cheon, as dying with holes all over him, and Apoline, who had lost consciousness Since the tere injured more externally than internally, her treatment seemed to work even better on the man She healed the two and restored Ru Amuh’s arm back to normal
“Could you perhaps also look at these people too?” When they brought Abis and Noel over, however, Evelyn looked startled Evelyn poured more holy power into Noel than she did to any other person and sighed while wiping her sweat
“How is it?” Chi-Woo asked in a worried tone
“I ed to barely keep her life on hold” That was even scarier Evelyn continued, “Her case is similar to yours She forcefully accepted a power that pushed her beyond her limits”
“But compared to her, I’m fine”
