Chapter 1407 - The Massacre (1/2)

Both Jiang Fei and Kaa’lna were out of the 10th Dimension. Before that, he had already “fixed” his body to a certain extent. Additionally, he had taken in Bargh’s energy and converted them into his own, thus facilitating his overall healing.

Kaa’lna was not as lucky. She was already incredibly injured before she was pulled into the 10th Dimension. Now that she was out of the 10th Dimension, her injuries resumed its deterioration.

“Gah…”

As soon as her body returned to the three dimensional realm, two mouthfuls of blood were coughed out.

“Relax.”

Jiang Fei set her down to the ground and had her lay still. His hands reached for her spine. With extreme precision, Jiang Fei sent out waves of psychic energy into her body to extract whatever energy of Bargh’s that remained in her body. He was hesitant then to convert Bargh’s energy into his own because he knew her body could not sustain itself having his energy in it. She might be worse off after conversion. The best method to save her now was to remove all foreign energy from inside her body to allow her own energy to fix itself.

After what seemed to be an eternity, after plucking out Bargh’s energy like picking individual rice from a rice pot the size of a house, Kaa’lna was slowly showing signs of healing. There was nothing to disturb him or her then, hence the entire process went smoothly.

“How do you feel?” Jiang Fei asked worriedly. Those injuries, both internal and external, were caused by Bargh, only because she had jumped in to protect him.

“I’m fine… I think,” she replied. At that moment, there was no fatal wound nor was there the immediate need for treatment. She was not completely fine but she was far from death’s door. Her mind was affected as she did extend her psychic energy to fend off Akatziris in the 10th Dimension. As such, she needed rest to recover from her physical and mental ailments.

“Good. Good… Everything’s fine now. You rest now. You’ve been a good girl.”

“I will…” Kaa’lna hummed.

She nodded weakly and laid her head down. When Jiang Fei removed his hands from behind her soft back, she reached out and held his.

It was hard to explain but Jiang Fei curing her by removing Bargh’s residual energy from inside her, saving her from certain death, had opened up a different perspective about Jiang Fei. The glint in the aquamarine eyes of hers hinted infatuation.

Jiang Fei did not notice the look in her eyes, especially after she had closed them gently to rest. His attention was placed on the surroundings. To be more specific, he was noticing the surrounding army. There were about a million pairs of eyes looking at them, not glaring, mere looking, as if they had just witnessed the descent of a god.

“W-W-Where’s Lord Bargh?”

The same question was repeated by the armies of the opposition.

“Gone,” Jiang Fei muttered.

“Gone?! Impossible!”

The soldiers retreated but not for their lives.

“Is it true?”

“Is Lord Bargh truly dead?”

“He must be! They were all gone and only those two returned! Lord Bargh must have been killed.”

“What can we do now?”

“What else? The kid might be strong but after killing Lord Bargh, I’m sure he had already exhausted his powers! He’s now a sitting duck!”

“I say we kill him! We kill him and take the shuttle for ourselves!”
