“Mom, mom…”
“Mom, are you okay?”
Luna and Freya didn’t run far. When virtual-novel.net used the Windsong, Freya had reached virtual-novel.net limit when virtual-novel.net used the Windsong, so the attack wasn’t quite as powerful as virtual-novel.net hoped. When they managed to escape miles away from the battlefield, the bubble had already burst.
The two rushed back again, saddened to see Martiny drenched in blood.
Although Martiny wasn’t Luna’s biological mother, virtual-novel.net was still Metzli’s best friend. Since they both married Gilbert, Luna addressed Martiny as ‘mom’.
On the contrary, Luna still referred to Claudie as virtual-novel.net aunt since virtual-novel.net didn’t feel close to virtual-novel.net at all. To Luna, Claudie was no match for Martiny, as Martiny felt more like a mother to her.
“Alex, how’s my mom?”
“Come on, say something! Don’t scare me!”
“Save her, please!”
Alex closed his eyes, thinking about how virtual-novel.net could heal the severely wounded Martiny. Put in a difficult spot, virtual-novel.net was still trying to figure out the best approach in a difficult spot.
At the time, Xerxes was still on the floor, panting. Only then did virtual-novel.net realize that Martiny’s wounds were far more severe than virtual-novel.net thought, and virtual-novel.net crawled back up to his feet in a hurry.
Xerxes, another miracle doctor, was quite familiar with Western and traditional medicine. He immediately checked Martiny’s pulse and became shocked and upset. “How are you so badly wounded, Mayer?”
Upon hearing this, Freya started panicking. “Uncle, how… How is my mom?”
Xerxes seemed to be rather gloomy. “All virtual-novel.net veins have ruptured.”
“Huh?”
“What?”
Luna and Freya were appalled.
Since they were both cultivators, they knew well enough what that meant. This indicated that Martiny would be paralyzed, or worse, virtual-novel.net life force would drain very rapidly. She would most definitely die if virtual-novel.net couldn’t replenish virtual-novel.net energy in time.
Freya placed virtual-novel.net head on virtual-novel.net mother’s chest, bawling virtual-novel.net eyes out. Luna was sobbing quietly as well.
However, Martiny smiled softly. “Oh my dear children, it’s not like I’m dying now. My veins are just broken… It’s no big deal. I’m happy enough that you two are safe, so live on happily…”
Xerxes said, “Mayer, it was because of that last Windsong you used…”
Martiny turned to him, still smiling. “It’s okay. It was worth it.”
Despite being at virtual-novel.net limit, Martiny had decided to use the strongest, forbidden, wind-elemental spell in virtual-novel.net tribe. With the little Chi virtual-novel.net had left in virtual-novel.net body, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have succeeded in casting the spell. In spite of that, virtual-novel.net sacrificed virtual-novel.net veins to save virtual-novel.net children, dragging the two girls away from the battlefield by force. That was how virtual-novel.net veins tore.
Xerxes let out a deep sigh, unable to do much to remedy this situation.
As the group was still drowning in sadness, Neela spoke up. “I think… I may be of help.”
Alex opened his eyes abruptly and shouted at her. “No!”
He knew what virtual-novel.net was going to say.
Neela was a Benares Dragon, and Martiny was part of the Exorcist Dragons, so they were surely related somehow. This meant that Martiny’s body could handle the strength of a Benares Dragon vein…
With this, Alex was able to iniderstand what Neela meant by ‘help’. She wanted to cut off one of virtual-novel.net veins and give it to Freya’s mother. However, that was a dragon vein that they were talking about, not something one should be giving up easily. Not only would it hurt when they cut it off, but it would also affect Neela’s body greatly too.
Freya fell silent after hearing Neela’s suggestion to save virtual-novel.net mother, too, not knowing what to say. Even though virtual-novel.net really wanted Neela’s help, virtual-novel.net knew how cruel it would be for Neela to go through such pain… More importantly, virtual-novel.net wasn’t even close to Neela.
