Chapter 246: Cleansing

Chapter 246: 246: Cleansing

"Besides..." Commander Lynn said as he approached Ayra and gently placed a hand over her stomach. "You’re pregnant... Doing this might have some effects, so..."

He sounded worried.

But Ayra stared down at her stomach with a smile. "I understand your worries... but if I agree to do it, I’ll know the safest way around it. So don’t worry..."

The Queen exchanged glances with the other snakes, wondering what Ayra was planning and how she intended to do it.

She didn’t think it was possible at all. None of them believed Ayra would be able to help them to such an extent, especially considering who had caused the damage.

They were skeptical.

But Ayra smiled as she stared at the system before her. She only had one concern: whether doing this would affect the little one and put her at risk.

She asked the system about it, and it replied.

[No, the Cub won’t be at risk.]

[But only Host might be, as this will drain the Host’s energy level in unpredictable ways.]

Ayra was okay with that. She wouldn’t be putting the little ones at risk, so that was fine. She would rather drain her own energy in the process, as expected.

"I have my way." She smiled at Commander Lynn, assuring him. "The little ones will be okay. Trust me."

Then she stared at the Queen and the other snakes. "Get all the snakes and gather them up. We should proceed with the task at hand."

The Queen was surprised and confused. She never thought Ayra would be willing to go this far for them. She was extremely grateful as she turned to the snakes and gave them the instructions.

They nodded, and everyone dispersed to summon the rest of the snakes, while most of those already there remained to witness the work of the Blessed Female.

Everyone was shocked by Ayra’s willingness to help. Even Nyx was moved.

He kept getting impressed by her strange habit of willingly helping others to the very end without demanding anything in return.

This wasn’t the female he had known back then, and his opinion of her was changing drastically because of it.

[Ding]

[Nyx’s Affection Level Improved Greatly]

[Wild Cat: +20% = 80%]

[Reward for Affection Boost: Female’s Energy Immensely Improved for the Task at Hand]

[Host now has enough energy to work without risking her life.]

[But Note: This still doesn’t mean energy won’t be drained.]

Ayra smiled at the system. She guessed this was the system’s way of helping her out in this situation.

"Thanks..." she muttered.

[You’re Welcome.]

The audience was summoned.

All the S-rank Green Snake monsters gathered around Ayra and the rest, waiting for what was about to happen. They muttered among themselves, still shocked by the fact that Ayra actually wanted to help them.

Ayra observed the atmosphere and figured there were only about thirty snake monsters gathered around. They weren’t many, and their tribe would certainly be in trouble if nothing was done.

She shook her head before proceeding with the task at hand.

"Are you sure about this?" Lord Zark asked one last time.

Ayra nodded with a smile.

Lord Zark nodded in return. "Then that’s good."

Her mates stood at her side, keeping her and little Ally company as they worked.

Ayra kicked things off by using her inner energy, running her pheromones through the atmosphere while soothing the wild monsters around her and calming them down internally.

"What’s this energy...?"

"Is it really from her? It sure is intense..."

"I can’t believe a non-S-rank female has such energy..."

They were all impressed as they felt the weight of Ayra’s energy upon them. It calmed their damaged internal energy before Ayra even began working on them.

Ayra and Ally worked hand in hand after Ayra explained what she needed to do. It was exactly what they had done with the egg before, only now, they were doing it with the females in the tribe.

As Ayra moved around, she ran her hand over the snakes, feeling through their energy and using her own to heal whatever was sealed or damaged inside.

It wasn’t an easy task. She could feel something within her weakening every time she did so, but she didn’t stop. She pushed on, running her hand over them one by one and healing the damage caused by the curse.

And as she did so, Ally followed behind her. Ally ran her hands over the female snakes her mother had worked on, using her pheromones to wash through them and cleanse their wombs while helping restore their ability to successfully bear healthy cubs.

Ayra grew weaker as she worked on them one by one, and it was becoming increasingly obvious that the task was taking a toll on her.

Her mates watched her closely. They didn’t stop her because they knew this was what she wanted to do. Instead, they supported her by staying close at her side.

While she worked, they brought food and drinks for her, serving her drinks and feeding her something whenever she needed it.

Lord Ash smiled as he patted her back. "You’re doing a good job..." he persisted with soothing and supportive words while she continued.

And Ayra pushed through until they finally reached the last person.

As they finished, Ayra instantly felt drained and dizzy. She staggered, but Nyx immediately caught her, holding her firmly against his side with his arms as she tried to steady herself.

The Queen grew worried as she watched. "Is she okay...?"

Commander Lynn nodded. "She’ll be. She just needs some rest, and she’ll be fine..." he said hopefully.

The Queen sighed as she shook her head. "I can’t even believe that someone could help us with this..." she said as they checked their own energy.

Everyone was marveled by what had happened. They could feel the change within themselves. It was obvious that the curse had been lifted, and their energy had been restored and balanced.

"She actually did it..."

"How’s this possible...?"

"I can feel myself again..."

"My energy is back..."

They all expressed their astonishment while Ayra smiled at them, satisfied with what she had accomplished.
