278 Lots of hugs and love (1/2)
”Why is he not waking up?”
Amaryll sat on the bed beside Don and asked Knight.
”He will”
When Knight placed the life shard on his body, the life shard merged itself with Don. Yet, nothing happened as they were expecting. Except for Benedict and Ken who were fixing the cannon in Ishikara, everyone dropped what they were doing and came to his room.
On the corner of the room, Lia stared at the elves, dwarves, orcs, and demihumans with widened eyes. In Elvelon, she rarely saw an Astrel but in front of her, the room was filled with Astrels.
Occasionally, Lia saw the elf who was sitting on the bed turning her head and gently smiling at her while the goblins kept their distance from her.
Lia realized the youth on the bed was Knight's brother but as far as she could tell, he's dead as his body had huge wounds and skin paler as white paper.
”LOOK!”
Suddenly Lia's focus on the youth had broken by the elf's shout
”His wounds… they're healing”
Lia was stunned to see the wounds in him slowly closing up. After waiting for a few hours, this was the first time they saw smiles on their faces.
Boom!
However, when the elf put her hand on his face, a powerful wave of energy blasted everyone in the room and sent them flying.
”Ah”
”Grrr”
”Everyone leave the room!”
When Lia hit the wall and fell, she heard many growls as she saw Knight standing in the middle of the room and shouting at them.
”What's...happening?”
Amaryll stood up with the help of Arwen as Arwen dragged her outside the room leaving Knight and Don alone.
An old man with full white long hair helped Lia up and led her outside the room as she glanced at Knight and a golden robed woman who was trying to contain the energy radiation coming from the youth's body.
”Knight, what's happening to him?”
Reghys shouted at Knight while she kept everything in the room from catching fire because of the heat he's radiating.
”He's...breaking through”
Knight sensed the Battle energy violently circulating inside his body and repairing and enhancing his organs. However, the Battle energy inside Don's body was nothing like in his body as Don's energy seemed more violent and more powerful.
”His body devouring the dark energy!”
Unlike Knight, Reghys couldn't see the transformation of Battle energy inside his body but she could sense the dark energy fusing with his body.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Crack!
Chill!
Outside the room, Amaryll heard the howling sound of a tornado and pushed back a few steps by the force of the wind. The windows and the glassware in the room shattered by the wind while Reghys and Knight seemed tense standing in front of Don.
”Everyone, take a step back! ”
The situation continued for another half an hour before the wind started to settle down.
”Is he going to wake up now?”
Reghys asked Knight but he shook his head in return.
”No, he's reaching the Mid Sun Realm”
Even though the wind created by the violent Battle energy settled down, Knight could tell that it's not finished transforming. He had reached the Sun Realm but still, his energy didn't stop at that point.
”It must be because of the thing you used”
Reghys had no idea of the golden shard Knight used on Don but the shard was charged with the Purest form of the Life Energy.
And suddenly, both of them saw Don's hand tremble.
”Wake up, you bastard!”
Knight roared after seeing his hand tremble and waited for him to do more than moving his hand.
Gasp!
Just as his roar echoed through the room, Don suddenly rose up on his bed and gasped for air.
”DON!”
”Me King!”
Don saw Knight and Reghys staring at him as before he could open his mouth, Amaryll threw herself to him and wrapped her hands around his neck.
”You're alive!”
