Chapter 339 - Relieved The Accumulated Stress
Chapter 339 - Relieved The Accumulated Stress
At the same time, when Desmond was looking at his sister's body, the injured on her body was slowly being healed, the skins starting to close those holes.
*crash*
As soon Alice's body recovered, the ice that enveloped her body shattered. She was now standing with her eyes open.
"Brother!" Alice was throwing her body at her little brother, who was looking at him worriedly. These past days made her unable to express her longing due to the intense situation with her injured body.
"Br-toher, B-rother!" With her body still wet, she kept rubbing her head on his hair. Even tears were starting to flow on his back. The cold and elegant beauty Alice has gone, replaced by the old and spoiled kid who keeps depending on her little brother.
Laura that was not far from them was speechless, looking at the sudden change of her ideal model. She has admired her young lady from the bottom of her heart, but now seeing her honest and pure personality also touched her heart.
On the other hand, Desmond was caressing his sister's white hair; the long silver hair in the past suddenly turned into white, which confused him. Yet, no matter what, this is the sister he knew. His expression was soft while trying to make his body and hands comfortable as much as he could.
System, scan, at the same time, still unease with her condition, Desmond commanded the system to scan her entire body while they were hugging each other.
[Scanning the target...]

Ah, she still weak like- I mean from her stats, it seems she already recovered, he thought. With Alice's problem solved, the burden on his mind becomes lighter.
At the same time, Desmond could feel something soft and big were pressing his chest. He did not want to imagine and only focused at her back where the scenery of dry land greeted him.
Suddenly he remembered some notifications he chose to ignore after absorbing the beasts' energy.
History, he commanded. A transparent screen appeared and hovered beside Alice's white hair containing a list of texts.
When Desmond finally found the related notifications, his expression turned into sank.
[The host stats already reached a certain threshold that the current human body could bear!]
[System detecting an unknown power from the bloodline began affecting the host's growth!]
[Failed to exterminate the power due to the power was part of the host's body!]
[A change has been detected in the absorption progress!]
When reading those several notifications, a word suddenly flashed in his mind.
F*ck, I'm nerfed?! he thought.
Just before, he was dreaming about him being stronger by killing those beasts and absorbing their energy. With the random stats he got after absorbing, it was enough for him to destroy the entire North Kingdom.
[The absorption rate now changed from the percentage to the + 0.00010 every of 1.00 beasts' energy]
[The random stats now changed to the +0.000010 per 1.00 strength/agility]
Desmond could imagine how many beasts he would kill only to get +1.00 energy or strength and agility as soon he read those words.
The two of them were hugged for a long time. For ladies, this kind of act relieved their accumulated stress and pain that they hid inside for a long time. As for Desmond, he was thinking about the possibility that makes his body being nerfed, only concluded was in his class.
I need to upgrade this class as soon as possible! When Desmond thought about this, he felt Alice release the hug on his body and lowered her head with her face red as a tomato.
Desmond could feel his back was wet, filled with snot and tears from her, "How is it? Did you feel better right now?" he asked. He didn't know how she was a woman feeling is, but judging from her cries, it seemed he already vented all of her emotions.
Alice just nodded in his words. She still felt embarrassed by her brother. She did not expect she would cry for a long time, even leaving a mark on his back.
"Good, right now we should build a base in this area," patting her head and smiling, Desmond then focused on the barren land in his view.
He just realized that using barren land as a cover was more effective than building in the jungle full of dangers from those beasts.
Meanwhile, Laura, standing with her mouth gawked feel she was eating a dog's shits. Their interaction looked like a pair of a couple who did not meet for a long time.
As a maid, she did not dare to disturb the interaction between her masters, but her small heart told her to separate them immediately. She conflicted right now every time seeing her young lady was hugging one of her young master's hands like an average couple.
Should I make a move? But why? Why young lady? Just why? Did you don't realize he is your brother?! Laura screamed inwardly. Her words almost slipped away from her mouth when she realized her young lady was staring at her.
"Are you a new maid, Laura?" In those following past days, even though they were together running from the pursuit, they rarely talked due to the Alice bore the pain on her body while the maids were busy making meals and kept their vigilance even though it was useless as long Desmond was with them.
"Don't scare her too much, sis. She is a reliable servant that even ready to sacrifice her life to save me back then. She is also the one who took care of my food and clothes when we go to Helmfirth city."
On the other hand, seeing his sister pressuring his maid, Laura, Desmond was shocked to find himself praising Laura many times. He felt this was not himself, but he could not ignore the effort Laura put into taking care of him back then.
"Oh? She is really a precious person for brother, right?" Alice emphasized with her eyes narrowed at Laura, who was smiling awkwardly at both of them.
"Of course," On the other hand, even though Desmond found something odd with her words, he casually replied. He was being honest. Laura really helped him to carry his body almost whenever he was unconscious.
Is she jealous? But why? He thought. Desmond was not a dumb person, he understood her hidden meaning, but no matter what, he could not find a reasonable reason for her being jealous.
They were siblings. It is normal for them to care for each other.
At the same time, Desmond did not bother to care about what these girls said. He was contacting Annie to get back as soon as possible because larger numbers of red dots suddenly appeared out of now where near Felix and his subordinates' location.
