Chapter 196 – Signs Of Trouble

BOOOOM!

The sound of an air explosion reverberated in the area as Calron’s fist neared the last surviving darkling and the latter’s head burst open before the fist even touched the beast.

I’m still missing something.

Calron mused, his thoughts on training the Blood Legacy and opening the fifth seal. However, so far he had not even managed to break the seal by a tiny bit.

“Phew.”

Calron sat down on the ground with exhaustion, trying to calm his breathing and recover his lost elemental essence.

The more Calron started to use the Azure Lightning, the more he began to notice the lessening of its side-effects on his body. Before, his body would cramp up in immense pain, but after the battle with Zarvel and the invention of the golden dragon, it was like his body was born anew and more compatible with the Divine Element.

“Let me help you.”

Helly whispered shyly as she walked to Calron and placed her hand on top of his chest.

“W-what are you doing?”

Calron sputtered, baffled by the young girl’s actions.

“Helly specializes in support and healing abilities, and she is now using her element to help you recover your essence much faster while healing any minor injuries.”

Bren stated without turning his head and continued to investigate the darkling corpses and rummage through their clothes.

“Sorry, I forgot to ask your permission.”

Helly mumbled with embarrassment, her face turning into a complete crimson color.

“Ah, it’s no problem. Besides, I should be the one thanking you.”

Calron smiled, feeling the essence circulation within his body speed up and his core being slowly filled with a stream of essence. Solely with Helly’s aid, he had already recovered more than twenty percent of his consumed essence in the span of a few seconds.

Amazing.

Calron thought, surprised by Helly’s ability.

“Your welcome.”

Helly whispered back, her face still bright red.

She’s too timid…

Calron inwardly chuckled at the young girl’s response.

“Hey Helly, I’ve been wanting to ask you something for a while now. Are you related to Mirane or Erten?”

Calron recalled that Helly’s last name was ‘Laxerus’, which was the same as Mirane.

“Elder sister Mirane? Yes, she is kind of like a cousin to me as I’m from the branch family while she is from the main family. You know her?”

Helly’s eyes livened up at the mention of her elder sister.

“Haha, yeah. I borrowed some money from her way back.”

Calron laughed, remembering the clumsy blonde-haired girl who did not even suspect a stranger’s intention and handed him her family’s goods just because of a small gratitude.

One sister is clumsy while the other is too shy… it’s a weird family.

He didn’t say it out loud, but Calron could not help think it and found it absolutely humorous.

“Eh?”

“If you two are done flirting, let’s continue our mission. We should leave before the scent of blood is carried by the wind to other areas.”

Sela said dryly, waving her hand at Calron and Helly.

“What are you saying, big sis!?”

Helly stuttered, quickly getting up with a flustered face.

“The journey from here on will be much more difficult since we’ve entered the enemy territory, so we’ll need to be alert at all times. Moreover, we will need disguises to travel inside the darkling kingdom, but seeing as that is impossible for us at the moment, I have an alternative solution.”
