BXBX NOVEL Chapter 47: Winners
The other upper part of his body had practically exploded, and all the flesh, blood, and organs were scattered all over the room.
"We won," Theos muttered weakly with a smile, his two eyes trying to close from exhaustion.
The negative Mana was slowly diminishing from his body, while the darkness was turning into particles tering again from his body.
Slowly, his body fell to the g from exhaustion. He couldn\'t ev protect himself from the impact or at least move a little to protect his head.
"Theos!" shouted Luna, quickly running towards where Theos was going to fall to catch him in mid-air, protecting him from the impact.
"I\'m sorry... I can\'t move," with those weak words, his vision going black and blurry. But the next momt, he felt a cold liquid ter his mouth.
As if it were divine grace itself, Theos\' eyes regained their clarity as his body regained vitality, ev though his bones ached, he felt that they were no longer completely brok as before, and ev the skin torn from his arm no longer burned in the slightest.
"What was that?" he asked with his gaze fixed on Luna, who smiled happily, her hands reaching out to reveal a luxurious but slder glass bottle, with a label with the letter (S) on it that made it more special.
"¡!" Theos, was startled at the sight of the bottle\'s label. "S-grade bottle!" he asked in shock.
"Hehehe, the very same," she replied with a bright smile of happiness.
"Why are you laughing, do you know how expsive that is for you? Besides, you hav\'t healed your wounds yet," he explained, trying to make her understand what she had spt.
An S-rank healing bottle is rare in the world; very few have it, only Dukes and Kings of a kingdom.
A healing bottle is divided into differt ranks: F, D, C, B, A, and S. As S is the highest and F is the lowest rank, ev one of those bottles can heal the same mana, and they count that they can revive limbs.
A bottle of healing no Marquis could afford, but she had one.
"Yes, I know what this bottle means, ev my father only has of them, and I stole this one, but... It\'s more of a relief and joy for me to be useful in this battle" with a slight blush on her face, she explained shyly, but still with the happy smile on her face.
And how could Theos scold her in that state? He could only shake his head with a smile, feeling all his bones slowly healing.
"I have something for you too," under Luna\'s curious eyes, Theos, with a smile, pulled out a bottle from his storage ring, idtity but completely similar to the bottle Luna possessed.
The only differce was that the bottle contained a liquid inside, a greish liquid and it looked somewhat thick.
"Take it," Theos offered, reaching out for her to grab the bottle. "I knew it was going to be difficult, so I brought this potion for you."
But Luna quickly shook her head. "No, no, I\'m still-"
"If you say you\'re fine, I\'m not talking to you anymore," Theos declared coldly, putting the bottle closer to Luna\'s face.
Although what he said could be considered a threat, the truth is that he knew that if he didn\'t threat her she would never accept the potion, so I had to resort to that only option.
Looking at Luna\'s wounds, he... His heart ached a little. More than anyone, he knew that feeling guilty was ridiculous; he could say that because she was weak, she was not responsible for her injuries.
But just the opposite, he felt guilty for her wounds, the truth is that he is to blame and must take responsibility for her wounds, not to feel guilty, but to know that he is to blame.
"Okay, I\'ll take it," she stated with a smile and a sigh; she knew the threat from Theos was an empty threat, but she found the attempt cute.
Grabbing the bottle, she popped it into her mouth; not ev two seconds passed wh a greish aura sured her body. As a result, her wounds began to heal in an accelerated manner.
"That\'s it," Theos smiled, separating from Luna\'s arms, he stood up to look a the currt room... In the aftermath of the battle. \'It certainly was an intse battle,\' he concluded with an amused smile, feeling satisfied.
For the first time, he had used all his power and was still inferior to his emy; if Luna had not be there or the battle had lasted a minute longer, he would have lost.
Although he had a recovery potion, the curse was no fool, not ev in the greatest miracles could he take that potion without the curse prevting him.
The whole room, previously spotless, was now no more reduced to rubble and cracks everywhere; if Theos\' calculations wer\'t wrong, the room wouldn\'t last more than a couple of days firmly but would collapse to pieces.
"Luna," he called without turning to look at her. "Thank you so much for putting yourself on the line like that for me. You are a very strong and smart person; you knew how to handle the little negative Mana I gave you to make the spear stronger. Good job," Theos thanked and congratulated her sincerely.
"No need to thank me so much; after all, you did most of the work; without your weird Mana, I wouldn\'t have destroyed that guy," she confessed honestly with a small blush, making Theos smile.
"Well, we\'d better hurry, we have one thing left before we leave here."
"Yes?"
"We should look for traces of that mass of flesh that was on that guy\'s head, I\'m sure it wasn\'t destroyed with that attack," he confessed, making Luna startle with fear.
Seeing her reaction, Theos smiled amused. "Don\'t worry, without a body, she\'s harmless; just help me look for her; she won\'t be able to accept anyone; she\'s in a weak and vulnerable state," he explained, making Luna relieved.
She nodded, getting up with her body rewed without any scars or wounds, the two began the search for the curse.
They lifted debris, investigated every corner of the room, ev the capsule destroyed to pieces, but in the d...
In a deep crevice, they found it.
