Chapter 190 My Last Kiss

Chapter 190 My Last Kiss

Ethan’s pained screams made the hearts of those who heard it tremble.

Fortunately, the only ones that could hear it were the people inside the room.

Sebastian surrounded the room with a soundproof barrier, which prevented those outside the room from hearing Ethan’s suffering.

Safiya and the other Shamans meaningfully exchanged glances with each other before forming a formation around Ethan.

All of them chanted and used their healing powers to help the boy endure the pain that was wracking his entire body.

An hour later, Ethan’s screams stopped.

It was not because his suffering had ended, but because he had lost his voice from screaming repeatedly.

Tears of blood fell from his eyes as he endured, endured, and continued to endure.

His bed was already drenched with blood and if a medical practitioner was there to witness it, they would definitely wonder why Ethan still hadn’t died from the blood loss.

Second by painful second.

Minute by excruciating minute.

And hours that felt like years finally came to a stop.

The young man no longer screamed, even as blood and drool leaked from the corner of his mouth.

His blood-soaked eyes stared at the ceiling in a daze as if his mind had already been broken.

Dantalion and Sebastian approached the bed and observed the young man’s body which was covered in blood.

If not for the fact that his chest was rising up and down, everyone in the room might have thought that he was dead. Seeing his state, Safiya and the other Shamans were feeling very anxious.

The poison of the Dream Eater Plant had the power to erode and destroy a person’s mind.

Ethan’s current state was very similar to the symptoms of a person whose consciousness had already been wiped clean, not reacting to anything.

The White Raven, who was Ethan’s Spirit Guide, looked at his Master with a sad expression on his face. Even he didn't know if his Master had managed to weather the storm that had threatened to destroy his mind and body.

Just as everyone thought that the young man had failed to refine the Tide Bringer’s Blood, they saw his finger twitch.

A moment later Ethan’s eyes recovered their clarity.

His body felt so hot as if it was burning from within. But aside from that, he felt great strength and magical power washing over his body.

The young man then slowly propped himself up from the bed and looked at his bloodied hands.

He had no inkling that it was not only his hands but also his entire body that was covered in blood, making him look like a monster that belonged to the Necromancer’s Unholy Army.

Ethan then clenched his fists before closing his eyes. He was still trying to adapt to the newfound strength inside his body, failing to notice that everyone was looking at him with anxious expressions on their faces.

A few minutes later, a ring of water appeared above his head like a halo.

It then slowly lowered itself towards the young man’s head, cleaning away the blood and other impurities that it touched.

The halo of water moved downwards, cleaning Ethan’s hair, his blood-stained face, his neck, chest, and everything below it.

It even wiped away the blood that was on Ethan’s bed, erasing the evidence of his suffering from existence.

Only when the last drop of Ethan’s blood was cleaned from the room did the halo of water disappear, leaving everyone in a daze.

The young man in front of them had long blue hair that reached down to his waist.

His youthful skin looked very radiant and healthy as if he had just undergone an oil massage.

The moment he opened his eyes, a ripple of magical power spread throughout the room, invigorating everyone within the area.

Without another word, Ethan stood up from the bed and walked towards the door.

His steps were a bit shaky, but his face was filled with determination. He only had one goal in mind, and that was to see Lily and save her before he once again lost consciousness.

Seeing that Ethan was struggling to walk, Sebastian waved his hand and teleported the young man beside Lily’s bed.

He then erected a barrier in front of their room to prevent anyone from getting in the way of the young lady’s treatment.

Ethan stared at the block of ice, that held the person who had helped him during his darkest moments.

Lily’s face was pale, and there were even blood stains at the corner of her lips. The bandage on her chest was dyed with blood, and there were several blue veins that could be seen in her skin, reminiscent of spider webs.

Right now, the blue veins had covered nearly half of her body, making Ethan feel as if his heart was being pricked by a needle.

He then placed his hands on top of the block of ice, melting it completely.

The water droplets rose up in the air and flew outside of the window, leaving the young lady’s skin dry, albeit still a little cold.

As if sensing that her spell had been broken, Lily slowly opened her eyes to assess the situation. The moment she saw Ethan, a smile appeared on her pale face.

She had already resolved herself to the possibility that the moment she sealed herself in a block of ice, she would never wake up ever again.

Being able to see Ethan one last time made her feel that she was given an opportunity to say goodbye one last time before she passed away.

“Ethan, I’m glad to see you safe,” Lily said softly as she raised her hand to cup his face. “Can I ask you a favor? Please tell my family that I’m sorry. I wasn’t able to meet their expectations. I tried so hard, and yet, it wasn’t enough.”

Tears started to form at the corner of Lily’s eyes as she thought of her family members, whom she would never see again.

“Stop talking,” Ethan said as he wiped the tears from her eyes. “You’re going to be fine. I’ve come to heal you.”

Lily smiled despite the tears that were blurring her vision. She thought that Ethan was just acting strong for her sake, so she decided to smile to not make him worry.

“Ethan… thank you,” Lily said softly. “I feel so cold. Can you… hug me? Also, I don’t mind if you give me one last kiss while you’re at it.”

She was already feeling cold and lightheaded, which she believed to be the effect of the poison that had started to spread through her body once more, now that her hibernation had ended.

Ethan cupped Lily’s face and lowered his head. Just as he was about to kiss her, he lightly bit the tip of his tongue, drawing blood.

The moment their lips met, Ethan slid his tongue inside the young lady’s mouth.

Lily, who was prepared to share one last passionate kiss with Ethan, tasted blood, which surprised her.

However, she was already too weak to resist, so she just held onto Ethan tightly as the latter kissed her.

The handsome young man’s kiss was gentle, sweet, and bloody.

‘I didn’t think that my last kiss would be like this,’ Lily thought. ‘Still, it’s not a bad way to go…’

Suddenly, Lily felt a soothing warmth spreading inside her chest. It felt so comfortable that a sigh uncontrollably escaped her lips, forcing Ethan to pull back from his kiss.

“Lily, drink my blood,” Ethan said as he summoned a water blade to lightly cut the palm of his hand, drawing blood. “It will help you recover.”

Lily looked at him with confusion, but Ethan’s affectionate gaze made her reluctantly nod her head.

The blood on Ethan’s palm flowed inside Lily’s lips.

It wasn’t sweet and tasted a bit salty, and yet, the more she drank, the better she felt.

She no longer felt cold, and lightheaded. Although she still felt weak, it wasn’t to the point where she thought that she was about to die.

Ethan continued to feed her his blood until her face regained its color. When he deemed that Lily was well enough to not need any more of his blood, the wound on his hand healed by itself.

“Excuse me for a bit, Lily,” Ethan said as he removed the bandages that were wrapped around Lily’s chest.

The young lady didn’t make a move to stop him. In fact, a faint blush appeared on her face because her body was starting to heat up.

This was the effect of Ethan’s blood. It was forcing her body to increase its regeneration rate to help recover the blood that she had lost during the battle.

The Tide Bringer’s blood was powerful enough to serve as an antidote for even the strongest of poisons.

The poison had already been cleansed from Lily’s system, and the blue, spider-like veins had started to disappear from her skin.

Ethan stared at the wound where the sword had pierced through and found it completely healed, not even leaving a scar behind.

A sigh of relief escaped his lips before he finally found himself unable to keep his eyes open.

The only thing that was keeping him conscious was his determination to save Lily.

Now that she was no longer in danger, his body, which had gone through great pain and suffering, finally reached its limit.

Lily, who noticed that the handsome young man was about to fall asleep, wrapped her arms around his head and pulled him closer to her chest.

A few seconds later, Ethan’s soft breathing was heard inside the room as his head rested peacefully between Lily’s breasts.

The young lady was also feeling drowsy due to the comfortable warmth that was washing through her body.

Soon, she too fell asleep while holding onto Ethan tightly, as if she never wanted to let him go.

She wasn’t aware that not only did Ethan’s blood help cure her from the poison and heal her injury, but it was also gradually strengthening her body, giving her a new kind of power that merged perfectly with her Demi-Wolf bloodline.
