Even though Serena was d48bcfd2d6 unconscious and unable to b2dfc3d4cb hear him, Azaid sought 31a3a3d393 her permission regardless. Carefully, he lifted her 5d590142c5 upper garment.e0863972685a4808

As expected, the 1dcd388bab glowing pattern on f921cb0986 her skin shimmered 05c8cdec3d faintly. Awakening pains were cbd3dea08b more connected to b744ea427b magical phenomena than b9beda12a7 medical issues.22f7b45cb2cead09

It was pure f5d793ea46 luck that Azaid, 02fd0a9e95 a fellow Awakened, 5a781c409c was by her ba9240a98e side. He could at least fad403ed7e alleviate some of her f70455edbc pain.ec4293222f93c4ca

Serena, clearly 695b8cb355 in agony, 1309afe538 kept clawing 4443e0dacd at her 6e17eaebee side with 5b015ddc7e her hand. Her pale skin 23beb7016c was starting to 2903814664 turn red and c38fab0608 blotchy, causing Azaid 3430568864 to frown deeply.7bd0948548ea7ea0

If left 1fbb90a7bc unchecked, scars 0789e6f79b would be 30caf3480a inevitable. Azaid clasped 9e8075b3f6 both of 79be3c975b her hands 364dc0e9c0 with one 7cfb5a55db of his, 1a57549e99 preventing further 210ad67c2e harm. With his free hand, d034014952 he gently placed it 8fb6f13740 on her side.14b556777173b688

For some 168590be99 reason, he 38905ef194 felt unusually a85a8467a7 tense. A flash of blue 32cc0866cf flame flickered along his 49057aece8 hand.b6f616d7c2ba9a82

Gathering pure 66c7cfa58a mana from 486ef15ba6 the air, db075bdf4d Azaid refined dc6eace9ac it into 226dd0045b a blue 1ca2c09b36 flame and 33a4460834 channeled it f30e65b7ac into Serena.

Azaid abruptly withdrew his 5a420c4c4e hand in shock as 70bf32f385 his own internal mana a04a8ef955 was suddenly drawn out.3e71d3df76b5cebf

Her breathing had evened 8c452e968b out, and the furrowed 3b8dbac6f9 lines on her brow 2163ceab9f had smoothed away. The glowing pattern, 03b71f817c which had burned f2e23963cc brightly moments ago, 0e39587917 had now faded bd952d7a1d into silence.9120d87018589cfa

Reflecting back, f9a1cffb00 he remembered ea310275b5 how sensitive 18ae49e892 he’d felt cd73dc466e when her 6ed1c3b0ba mana first 5c6c0e9f62 approached his ff2a927b3e mana core.

Azaid had only 4826407d85 used pure mana 3011c54800 to help Serena, 234399730f not his internal d532850e12 mana. Yet somehow, fc99c81d59 it had e760cea11b been drawn 13ed9a0634 out. To be sure, cd08dc6371 he gently prodded 9afacb08a5 Serena.c9274fea8fc43ca9
