Chapter 784 - I Prefer This Type Of "Take Care"
Regenerating a Stage Nine Demon Beast"s blood was a lot harder than simply healing them. Well, healing was already very hard due to the difference in cultivation, so one could only imagine how worse the other one was. That being said, Rean and Roan didn"t leave Darian"s underwater palace for the next two weeks. There was no helping it since Darian"s blood recovered very slowly.
During this time, Roan and Kentucky decided to cultivate. Celis was always cultivating and pulling everyone up, but of course, the more of them cultivating, the faster it was. Back in the Demon Beast Alliance, Phex had already pa.s.sed all the orders as the demon beast armies moved out. This time, he was going all out.
In the end, all those airships that the demon beasts almost never used had become important. It helped moving most of the lower-level demon beasts to the regions where they were necessary. Roan also took the opportunity to ask the underwater palace"s demon beasts to pa.s.s Phex a message. With that said, his 10% share of the army went to a specific location where he would start his attack after Rean finished his job.
Suddenly, an enormous black shadow approached the underwater palace"s entrance from inside. All the demon beasts guarding the place immediately showed respectful expressions as the shadow moved outside. Beside the black shadow, there was a white-haired young man.
Naturally, they were Rean and Darian. Darian was a Black Tortoise, and he was in his demon beast form this time. The other Stage Nine Demon Beasts, including Xaon, were still waiting outside, as Rean had asked before.
Xaon noticed Darian"s appearance and used his Spiritual Sense to feel his body. "Oh! You"re br.i.m.m.i.n.g with power again. It seems like this human was really able to help you recover your Divine Demon Beast Blood." Naturally, Xaon was happy to see that.
Darian couldn"t help but laugh out loud, saying, "Hahaha! That"s true. In fact, he even helped me with older injuries that had never been healed. I didn"t expect his Light Element was this overpowered." Darian then looked at Rean, who was scratching his head after all the compliments. "Rean, I"m leaving to help Phex with the preparations. Take your time to heal Xaon and the others before heading out as well."
Right after that, the enormous Black Tortoise disappeared without a trace. Its speed was completely different from what one would believe after seeing it. "Now...that was fast," Rean could not help but murmur. Darian didn"t even wait to hear his answer.
Xaon, however, heard Rean"s words, telling him, "Oh, you"re wrong there. Darian isn"t fast. It"s just that your cultivation levels are too different, so it looks like he"s fast in your eyes. Compared to Phex and I, he"s quite slow. And if you use Frin, the Silver Fenrir, as a comparison, then he can only be called a turtle."
Rean nodded, not finding it surprising. "I see..." After that, he looked at Xaon and the other Stage Nine Demon Beasts. Their injuries from the battle against Fikin"s group had stabilized a little after these past two weeks. Nevertheless, it was far from being optimal. "Seniors, please come into the palace. I"ll heal each one of you from now on."
Xaon and the others nodded and followed Rean inside. There were a total of four Stage Nine Demon Beasts, including Xaon. Because their group was bigger, they didn"t suffer as much as Phex did during his battle. That being said, healing them was easier.
Of course, even though Rean didn"t use four hours to recover each one like Phex, he still took at least two. Putting all the demon beasts together, Rean"s work lasted another 10 hours and something. "Phew... I"m finally done," Rean said as he looked at a snake-type demon beast in front of him. Xaon and the other two left straight away after being healed, so this one was the last.
"Thanks. I need to leave as well since each peak-level demon beast will be necessary for the incoming war. I"ll see you another time." The snake then turned around after saying that and disappeared.
Following that, Roan and Kentucky arrived at the hall, which only had the lower-level demon beasts who stayed behind to take care of the palace. "So, have you finished everything?"
Rean nodded. "I did. Now I just need to rest a little. After spending two weeks healing them, I"m feeling very tired."
Roan didn"t complain as he knew how hard it is. He can use Instant Recovery, too, after all. It"s just that he wasn"t as good as Rean.
Kentucky then used his Spiritual Energy to grab Rean. If Rean wanted to, he could escape from it easily. However, he didn"t say anything and simply closed his eyes. Kentucky them put him on his back as Roan jumped there as well. After that, they left the palace. Sometime later, Kentucky finally left the sea and took flight.
At some point, Rean entered the Soul Gem Dimensional Realm. Red was there too, but he was being watched by Sister Orb. Sister Orb was G.o.d in the Dimensional Realm, so Red couldn"t cause trouble even if he wanted. "Oh! Are you finally here to take care of me?"
Rean looked at him with a puzzled expression as he responded, "Take care? Oh! I see..." Rean then approached Red and petted him on the head. "Hi, hi. Good boy, good boy. Big Brother Rean will take good care of you."
Red almost vomited blood in anger as he jumped back at full speed. "f.u.c.k you! That"s not the kind of "take care" I was talking about!" Naturally, his pride wouldn"t allow that to happen. He was still a Divine Demon Beast, after all.
"Is that not it?" Rean asked as he caressed his chin. "But I sure do prefer this kind of "take care," though. Don"t you think it"s much better? Besides, your fur is very fluffy, so it feels great to do that."
"Get out of my sight, idiot!" Red immediately turned around and left, not wanting to hear that bulls.h.i.t anymore.
As for Rean, he simply smiled and entered a small hut in the Dimensional Realm. There wasn"t anything important there, just a few common things. As for what he wanted, it was the bed! With that, he laid down and slept. Once he woke up, he would be back in the Freedom Sect once again.
