Chapter 236 (1/2)

'Huh, but he's no match for me.'

Unlike other humans, Edgar didn't feel any pain when touching Ios. Nevertheless, he was always sitting in his office. Ios had also never seen him carry heavy objects, so he believed he would easily defeat him.

"Hup!"

However, contrary to what he had expected, he felt great strength as soon as he grabbed Edgar's hand and moaned. On the contrary, Edgar looked quite relaxed.

Ios had never lost to anyone when it came to strength. Most of the opponents he had encountered now surrendered even when he used just the strength to lift a finger. Because of that, for a moment, he couldn't remember how he should use his muscles to bring out a greater force.

"Hey, what are you doing with your left hand?"

Edgar spotted Ios's left hand moving and asked. A drop of sweat ran down the dragon's forehead, so he must have been up to something.

Was he trying to cheat and use magic to win? It really enraged Edgar. He decided he had to teach what justice was to this rude lizard and started to put all the strength he had on his right arm.

"Aw"

Ios's hand was bent down until it almost touched the desk. He was about to admit defeat, but then Edgar loosened his hand.

Was he exhausted after suddenly using so much strength? Regardless of that, they were in a game. Ios mercilessly put his arm down.

Edgar's arm went down so easily that it was hard to believe he had been winning only a second ago.

"I… won?"

Before Ios could celebrate his own victory, he was surprised to see Edgar fall on his desk. He tried shaking him, but he didn't move.

"Are you pretending to be unconscious because you're embarrassed after losing?"

Ios poked his hand with a pen, but no response. He put a finger under his nose, just in case, but he wasn't breathing. Ios suddenly got afraid.

"Oh, no!"

Anyone was going to think he had done this to Edgar on purpose.

And, how was he supposed to see Rubica's face if Edgar didn't make it? Minos had warned him many times that nymphs cherished their spouses a lot and he had to be careful about it.

He quickly took Edgar to the sofa, undid one or two of his shirt buttons, and started slapping him.

"Hey, wake up! Hey!"

However, he didn't get the result he wanted. What was he supposed to do then? He managed to remember the term mouth-to-mouth.

He looked at Edgar's red lips and gulped hard. Minos had once taught him what it was and how to do it.

He really didn't want to do it, but it was the only way to save Edgar. He made up his mind and grabbed Edgar's chin.

"Lord Ios?"

"Ugh!"

Ios fell on his butt at suddenly hearing Minos's voice. The goblin looked shocked, probably misunderstanding the situation.

"What are you doing?"

"Minos! It's great that you're here, Edgar isn't breathing!"

"What?"

Minos quickly checked on Edgar. Ios was relieved that he was here at the right time and started to press on him.

"Quick, do mouth-to-mouth!"

"I should do mouth-to-mouth? On him?"

"Yes?"

Ios was going to tell Edgar, 'You were just kissed by a goblin,' when he woke up.

Of course, he was going to tell Rubica what her husband had done while she was gone, with a little bit of exaggeration. However, Minos shook his head.

"Doing mouth-to-mouth won't bring him back."

"What? No way!"

This wasn't funny at all. Ios regretted doing that arm wrestling, although it was a bit late. Then, Minos took out a vial from his pocket.

"He is…"

Out of habit, he almost explained to Ios that Edgar's nymph blood and human blood were colliding, but then he quickly shut his mouth, shivering that he almost let Ios find out the nymph was Edgar and not Rubica.

He quickly opened the vial and put it under Edgar's nose.

What was inside the vial smelled strange, but for some reason, it was quite familiar to Ios.

"What is that?"

"Cough, cough!"

Before Minos could give him the answer, Edgar coughed hard and opened his eyes. That was a relief. Although now Ios couldn't make fun of him for being kissed by a goblin, it was much better than him never waking up again.
