Chapter 239: Luke Awakened to Find Theia Dying!

Because all he remembered was going into the essence clouds, then a heavy sleep struck him.

"Now where am I?" He muttered while looking around, but then the system window appeared in front of him.

[Luke, you should focus on something important for now.] The system said with its casual tone.

And pointed toward another dark location, where a woman was leaning against the wall.

But her body was badly damaged, as blood could be seen from her rough bandages.

"Theia!" Luke’s eyes became wide, before he immediately moved toward her.

Though the next moment in his haste he didn’t realize his increased strength and the area where his step landed.

BAM!

Shattered the ground and his leg also stuck in them.

"Huh?" Seeing this he became confused, but he still ignored the changes to his body and moved toward Theia, but this time with his strength controlled.

That did help somewhat, as now his legs were making less deep holes in the ground.

"Theia." He called out after reaching her, but she seemed unconscious.

Her usual robes were ripped apart in some places, while her blood slowly came out from her kidney and liver through the bandages.

’System, what happened earlier?’ His expression was totally confused at this moment.

[Well, after you fell asleep, five B rank vampires appeared, so while protecting you she got injured.]

[And she also stopped those A rank beings, but when she overexerted her power, she ended up exhausted.]

He became shocked about the involvement of A rank beings and even more shocked that Theia was able to stop them.

Didn’t matter even for a moment.

But then his face became angry. "Five B rank vampires." He gritted his teeth. As everything went completely out of his calculation.

"They will pay." Luke tried to calm down his anger, then looked worriedly at Theia.

Because from her wound, not only blood was coming out, but some kind of red miasma was also there.

[That’s the essence of a B rank vampire.]

Hearing the system’s words, his expression fell, and an ominous thought came into his mind.

Which the system’s next words confirmed.

[Unless she herself removes them using her mana, or you can also find some talented B rank being or a healer for her.]

[And you can also find an A rank, for them it is too easy.]

Luke gave the system window a speechless look. "From where would I be able to find them?"

After that he ignored him, but one thing was bugging him.

"It’s been 20 days and her mana or dream power is still exhausted?" He muttered with confusion.

Or else, why she didn’t heal herself.

[Well, she can’t. Because to escape from the groups of vampires and A rank beings, she overexerted her Origin ability.]

[Resulting in her connection with the Dream Well being severed and even her mana pathways being damaged.]

"What!" Upon this, Luke’s mouth opened wide. "Doesn’t this mean she became crippled?"

Hearing Luke’s panicked voice, the system calmed him down and told.

[Well, for now... Yes!]

[But she is still a B rank, so she needs time, like 2-3 months. Then she would be able to recover by herself.]

[Or you can use the earlier told methods.]

At this, Luke’s worry lessened somewhat. And he brought his hand toward Theia’s face, before gently removing the strands of purple hair.

Her face was covered in sweat, and even her body temperature was high.

"Theia." He whispered her name again, but this time his eyes were filled with gratitude.

Because if she was not there, then he would have died.

"Thank you." He gently caressed her face, before slowly carrying her in a princess carry.

Even at this, her face grimaced, likely feeling deep pain.

"Don’t worry, your liege is here." He whispered those words to calm her down, before bringing her to the stone slab and putting her down gently there.

But just as he was about to let her go, her eyes opened.

"My liege." She slowly whispered those words with confusion.

Because she just awoke, so her mind was still sleepy and her injury also made her vision hazy.

"Yes, I am here, Theia." Luke’s expression brightened seeing her awake.

While clarity also returned to Theia’s eyes and she felt genuinely relieved that Luke was fine.

"Seems like, liege, I can’t help you anymore." She said with a resigned expression.

Because in those 20 days, she tried to heal her wounds, but to no avail.

And with the monsters outside roaming, she couldn’t even move freely with her injured body.

Plus, currently she was only a weak B rank being whose body strength was somewhat higher.

Even that, she couldn’t use properly because of her deep injury.

So she barely gathered some fruits and water to sustain herself, while waiting for Luke to awake.

And now he was fine, she was happy. That even if she died now, she wouldn’t feel sad at all.

"Theia, don’t talk about stupid things." Luke angrily rebuked her, but his voice still couldn’t hide the worry it held.

Seeing Theia was now looking at his blue eyes, he smiled and said.

"Your liege is here, so you don’t have to worry about anything."

"And regarding your injury, don’t worry, I will heal it... Soon."

He finished his sentence while caressing her face.

Upon this, Theia was stunned. Because just now she realized that she was very close to Luke and their bodies were almost touching.

Which brought heat to her face, resulting in a blush forming on her cheeks.

Because as far as she knew, even in her last life, she wasn’t close to any men.

So now getting close to a handsome man...

’Huh? handsome??’ She looked toward Luke again and clearly felt that he was way more handsome than before.

And even his black hair was now shoulder length.

While his height seemed to have increased to 7 feet, following that, his body had become more heavy and muscular.

Of course, not some huge muscles type, but his muscles seemed like inward-growing.

’Did liege go through metamorphosis?’ She thought confusedly, because all the signs indicated that was the most likely answer.

"Theia." Seeing Theia staring so intensely at Luke, he called out her name. Upon which she flinched.

As just now, she realized that she had been staring for a long time at her liege.

"I am fine, master." So without knowing when, she whispered those words, completely forgetting that she had just called Luke ’master’.

But Luke just smiled and nodded at her, before putting her down completely.

After that, he looked around, because now he had to find where they were and also had to decide what to do next.
