Book 13: Chapter 35
“Nier put a lot of strength into it. It took a lot out of me to get the child out. I never thought that her wound would recover so rapidly.”
Elizabeth shut the door and wiped her hands that still had traces of blood on them. Vyvyan hugged me from behind. She gently rubbed her face against mine. I looked at my two moms and smiled: “Thank you, moms…”
“No, you only have one mom.”
“No, you only have one mom.”
My two moms responded simultaneously, and then shot each other an angry glare. A second later, Vyvyan shook her head: “No, Son, I didn’t do anything. Elizabeth was the one who bandaged her, but she healed on her own. I wanted to use mana to help her heal, but all of the mana I transferred to her vanished. Ying seems resistant to mana. There seems to be something in her chest wound that’s preventing her power from healing herself. Judging from that, it seems that the wyrm contains poison.”
Vyvyan pressed her hand on my right shoulder, and then the pain vanished in just a few seconds. Elizabeth looked over to Nier and Lucia, who were dealing with the corpses. She clenched her teeth: “Those people deserved to die. They were so cruel to a girl and rude to loyalty. Worst of all, though, is they dared to hurt my son! Nier did a good job. If I was in her shoes, I’d have ripped their limbs off while they were still alive.”
Without changing her expression and, while looking in Nier and Lucia’s direction, Vyvyan coldly remarked, “If I was there, I wouldn’t be so bloody. I’d poke holes in their sockets, and then pin them up at the entrance of the shrine so that they slowly wither in the wind.”
Boy, I was glad my moms didn’t come earlier. Letting Nier hack them to death was a nicer way of dying – relatively speaking…
Elizabeth pinched my face: “Your wound isn’t serious, fortunately. Let’s head home now, Son. We have no need to continue staying here. The creature shouldn’t be active. It fears Vyvyan, apparently. After all, wild animals fear wilder wild animals. We’ll arrive home in one week if we leave now.”
