Chapter 375: Interlude - The Serpent Master (1)
After Enceladus’s defeat, the Kuroushi members on standby retrieved Kwon Oh-Jin’s battered group and transferred them to a nearby hospital.Due to the aftereffects of receiving a Celestial’s blessing and the severity of their wounds, Lee Woo-Hyuk and Sakaki Ryo were placed in intensive care. Kwon Oh-Jin also suffered internal injuries that his Water Affinity couldn’t quite heal and was forced into a period of hospital recuperation.
Song Ha-Eun and Koshiro, on the other hand, had merely collapsed due to temporary exhaustion after wringing every last drop of power from their Stigmas. They didn’t technically need hospitalization, but stayed anyway to watch over Kwon Oh-Jin and Sakaki respectively.
As for Lee Woo-Hyuk, his caretaker was none other than Kim Seon-Young, the Valhalla Guild’s vice guildmaster, who had flown in from Korea as soon as she heard the news.
Three days passed just like that.
Thanks to Water Affinity, Kwon Oh-Jin recovered faster than the others. Leaving the intensive care unit ahead of them, he made his way back to the coastline where the fierce battle against Enceladus had taken place.
“What are you, Jesus or something? You think you can just stroll around three days after nearly dying?” Song Ha-Eun, full of worry, approached Kwon Oh-Jin.
Though she had followed him out, she clearly disapproved of him leaving the hospital so soon.
“I told you, I’m fine. Honestly, I feel even better than before.”
He wasn’t lying. After the Black Heaven’s eleventh enlightenment, he had only grown stronger.
“Yeah, sure. I tried touching it while you were asleep earlier, and your thing wouldn’t even get hard.”
“What wouldn’t?” Kwon Oh-Jin looked at her with a stiff expression.
