Chapter 17 Masterpiece (3)
"Freytan" I yelled, creating a wave of golden energy that spread throughout the room, hitting Freytan and Jack Hamut's bodies and causing black smoke to emerge from them.
Freytan, just inches away from hitting my throat, jumped back reflexively. She was confused and her vision was blurry as she asked, "What did I do?"
"You distracted me, but nothing was compromised. So rest" I said with a smile, plunging my five fingers into Amanda's chest and removing a large black mass that extended over thirty centimeters.
"Finally, now there's only one step left."
The black mass began to thrash aggressively as if it had a life of its own, but it was just a large bundle of Krintoin energy trying to return to its original owner now that it had failed in its mission.
"Stay still"
The golden energy covered the black mass completely, unlike what had happened when it was in Amanda's body. Now, it was just an insignificant existence without any protective barriers. It had no chance to fight back and was completely subdued by the golden energy.
Freytan, still dazed and sitting on the floor, looked at me, seeing this scene and trying to understand what was happening.
"It's time for the masterpiece to be born" I said.
The golden mass, now fully covered by the golden energy, began to float in front of me, coiling, bending, and constantly changing shape until it finally transformed into a solid, perfect sphere with a purple color.
"An orb with the pure power of Krintoin energy" I said with a smile.
Now, I had an item that would be worth enough money for me to retire and enjoy the rest of my life in peace, but there was a problem.
"What are you talking about?" Freytan's body couldn't handle the strong energy emanating from the sphere, causing her to lose consciousness. Her eyes were covered in purple.
Just her existence alone would put my life at risk.
So, before Freytan could start moving, the golden energy completely covered the Krintoin sphere, swallowing and absorbing it into my body, releasing a strong wave of golden energy that covered the entire blacksmith shop. The only person who hadn't noticed this was Scylla, because of her lineage ability.
The people who lived nearby or were passing by, even the crazies who had returned, would feel a slight tingling in their bodies. But in the end, the only reaction they had was one of shock, forgetting what had happened a few seconds later and returning to their normal routine. They probably maintained their NPC habits.
"Now it's your turn, miss"
I looked at Amanda, panting, with her eyes closed, and still unconscious. It was impossible to tell if it was due to the shock caused by the Krintoin energy or if she simply hadn't woken up yet.
"First, calm down" I said, gently caressing Amanda's cheek. I released small doses of golden energy that resonated with the remnants floating around the room. All the negative effects on Amanda's body had finally been removed, and now, looking at her sleeping face, I no longer needed to fear anything bad, as the worst that could happen now would be a nightmare.
"Now you just need to take care of your mental health, and nothing bad will happen anymore" I assured her. I placed my hand on her back and stretched. This was the first time I had exerted so much divine power. Not even in the fight against Beranoth had I needed to expend so much energy, which only showed that these bastards were going to be really tough to face.
That's why I have to prepare myself, especially for those famous cutscenes where you're forced to watch the protagonist get beaten up, even though you just beat them up villain.
I sighed, sitting on the floor and looking around. The only energy that remained was the golden energy. Every trace of Krintoin energy had disappeared.
' I can't believe this actually worked...' I looked at my hand anxiously. ' Honestly, what will be the limit? Because I feel like I shouldn't reach it ' I thought, lying down on the floor.
In that same room, there were two unconscious people, one asleep, and finally, a young boy completely exhausted, trying to maintain his appearance until the last moment.
' Scylla, she's the only one left, and then I can disappear from this city ' I thought, looking up at the ceiling and slowly closing my eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
Several minutes passed, and I would wake up completely revitalized.
"Ah! You finally woke up, Mr. Dantalian" Amanda said, smiling brightly.
"So, have you improved?" she asked.
' A healer? I didn't know that, I thought you were just an archer... Maybe it's a good time to use the bonus, not only to improve my memory ' I thought as I looked at myself and moved my arms. Not only had all the fatigue disappeared, but the amount of mana in my body had also increased, and I already had a substantial amount.
"Miss Amanda..." I started to say, but I was interrupted by Amanda herself, desperately waving her hand in denial.
"What's the problem?"
"The problem is you calling me 'madam'."
' Ah, sorry, you don't like it? ' I thought, running my hand over my neck as I looked at Amanda, trying to disguise it.
"It's not that, it's just that you're my savior, so you can call me Amanda" she said.
[Her first impression of you was so good that the unexpected happened, your friendship level has reached its maximum.]
Upon hearing that voice, I realized what had happened, but another doubt arose in my mind.
' But what was that? She's not even a heroine. '
[She remains a potential achievement, even if she's just an NPC.]
' What the hell are you thinking? Anyway, she caught my attention. We'll see where this ends up. '
