True King's Ecstasy

Chapter 336 Vitality

?

Velian's heart sank as he beheld the sight before him. The once vibrant and robust form of Ellena's brother now resembled nothing more than a withered husk, a mere shadow of his former self.

"So she absorbed all of his vitality? If she had overdone it, he would be dead by now, but lucky for us, she couldn't,"

Ellena's eyes welled up with tears as she whispered, "Is there anything you can do, Velian? Can you save him?"

Determined, Velian stepped forward, his hands touching his body with a mix of curiosity and hope.

"I won't let him slip away, Ellena. I'll do whatever it takes to bring him back." He knelt beside the fragile figure, gently placing his hands on the desiccated flesh. Closing his eyes, Velian reached deep within, drawing upon the wellspring of his mana, the essence of his power.

A soft glow enveloped his hands as Velian channelled his energy into the lifeless body. "Hold on to your life, don't give up," he whispered, his voice filled with conviction. "I will give your life and energy back, for your spirit."

The air crackled with a surge of power as Velian's mana coursed through Ellena's brother, weaving its way into every inch of his desolate form. The dried muscles began to twitch and tremble as if stirring from a deep slumber. Slowly, ever so slowly, colour returned to his cheeks, his sunken eyes regaining a glimmer of vitality.

Suddenly, a weak voice emanated from the parched lips of Ellena's brother. "Velian... is that you?" he murmured, his voice feeble but filled with gratitude.

"Yes, it's me," Velian replied a surge of relief flooding through him. "Stay with me, try to regain your energy back. We're going to get through this together."

As Velian continued to pour his mana into the revival process, a wave of warmth swept over Ellena's brother, revitalizing his weary body. The dried husk gradually transformed into a semblance of life, as the once brittle bones regained strength and the parched skin plumped with moisture.

"He won't be fully healed, but I know a quick method, he can quickly regain his energy back," Velian said and looked at Kyla and Ellena.

"You two, protect my mother and quickly leave this place to the other building I showed you," Velian commanded, his voice firm with determination. "I will come back quickly after dropping him in a healing centre."

With the weight of Ellena's brother draped over his shoulder, Velian wasted no time. He propelled himself forward, his body soaring through the air with supernatural grace and speed. The wind whispered past him, carrying with it a sense of urgency and hope.

As he approached the so-called healing centre, its towering spires reaching towards the heavens, Velian's heart raced with anticipation. He knew that within those walls lay the best chance for Ellena's brother to regain his strength and vitality. He landed with a gentle thud, his feet touching the polished marble floor, and hurriedly made his way inside.

"So this is the luxurious brothel in this country? I didnt expect this building to be so big," Velian muttered revealing the real identity of the healing centre he was talking about.

The entrance hall of the brothel was bathed in soft, ethereal light, casting an otherworldly glow upon the surroundings. Velian's gaze swept across the room, searching for someone who could assist him. It was then that a voice, as alluring as a siren's song, reached his ears.

"Ah, dear customer," a seductive voice purred from the shadows, "you have come seeking our services. How fortunate for both of us to have a young beautiful man like you."

Velian's eyes widened as he turned towards the source of the voice.

"Who are you? From where can I buy a room?" Velian asked, but the woman's face didn't look good, as she thought these two young men mistook their building as a motel.

"This isn't a motel, young man, if you want a room, you should find an inn, besides two men doing it, I don't think it's conventional here," She misunderstood Velian's purpose causing his face to disfigure with disgust.

"I'm not-" He tried to shout, but he quickly calmed down, as this was hardly the time to make any more problems.

"I meant, I want to get a good woman for him, sorry I didnt fully explain things," Hearing Velian's words, she quickly looked at the book and asked Velian to choose someone.

But at that time he didn't know that standing before him was the headmistress of the brothel.

'She looks too good to be a normal employee, she must be someone in higher ranks with those clothes'

Velian thought as she was clad in flowing robes that accentuated her graceful figure, she exuded an aura of mystique and power. Her eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief, promising secrets and forbidden knowledge.

Suppressing his surprise, Velian composed himself and spoke with a determined tone.

"Are you the owner of this establishment?" She smiled hearing the words and gave the book while pointing at the free girls.

"Haha~ you're sharp boy, I like it, but may I ask, why is he sleeping? He won't be able to do anything if he's like this, and both of you look a little bit too young," She said while squinting her eyes.

"How much? I won't deny he's young, but say the price? I know you won't stick by the rules and refuse us because if you did, you won't assign those two girls," Velian said and pointed at one of the girls, that kept waving at him.

The headmistress smiled upon hearing his words, she didn't even know how he realised they were not even humans, but she decided to go along with this boy.

"Fine, I don't care either way, pick a girl," She said and Velin pointed at the strongest-looking girl, knowing that she will have a lot of vitality.

"She's not a succubus like those two right? I want his partner to be human, and I will pay with gold coins, ancient ones at that,"

Velian said and took a pouch out of storage, but he had a lot of questions.

"What are these demons doing here?" And he knew they were different from the succubus he met earlier because he could clearly see their status, and by looking at the headmistress, he knew they weren't infected by parasites, rather they were real demons.
