Chapter 336: Untouched
Seven Sins System Chapter 336. Untouched
The transformation was quick. Unlike the dire situation with Julia, these kids weren't on death's doorstep. They were just worn down, exhausted, and malnourished. My healing powers worked fast, mending cuts, soothing bruises, and easing the damage caused by their long-term abuse.
Color slowly returned to their faces, and the signs of their suffering began to fade. The dark energy from my tentacles pulsed through them, restoring their frail bodies, bringing them back from the brink. Watching them recover, going from vulnerability to a slow, steady healing, was something else.
"All done," I said with a smirk as my tentacles retracted and disappeared. Lately, healing mortals had become a regular gig for me, especially after I picked up the job as a combat doctor.
Not that I was thrilled about it—devils aren't exactly known for their compassion. But hey, the mortal medical knowledge I picked up? It's come in handy more times than I'd like to admit. Sometimes being a devil means I has to expand my skill set.
Honestly, it was weird how naturally I slipped into the role of a healer. Things that used to confuse me now felt like second nature. Who would've thought playing doctor for humans could be this enlightening? Still, this whole combat doc thing wasn't my first choice. I'd much rather be indulging in the sinful pleasures that come with being a devil.
I glanced at the two kids now fast asleep on the bed, their faces peaceful. It was my tentacles that had moved them, gently. Now all that was left was to wait for my last tentacle to return with the ingredients we needed.
Despite the successful healing, Puriel wasn't reacting how I expected. There was no praise, no usual commentary. She just stood there, her eyes lingering on the kids, her expression sad.
"Good job, Azrael," I said to myself, dripping with sarcasm. "You're the coolest and the best devil ever."
