Chapter 450 - Right
Chapter 450 – Right.
Ailsa looked down at Ryu’s chest. She knew that she had to pull the stone out or else Ryu would never heal. But, if she removed it, then considering Ryu’s state, his soul would definitely dissipate.
The best choice would be to have Esme kill Ryu, but without Ryu controlling her, there was no guarantee that she would be able to sever his link cleanly and without harming Ryu.
Ailsa should be able to take control of the daggers to do it personally, but this was Osiris, she didn’t have access to her strength here since she was entering through her special ink with Ryu. If she didn’t have access to her qi, she obviously wouldn’t have access to her Spiritual Qi either.
‘The alter…?’
Ailsa suddenly remembered the situation of the young woman Ryu put out of her misery. Back then, she had been lying on a stone slab. Obviously, she hadn’t had a stone lodged in her heart, but her soul still hadn’t dissipated.
Ailsa’s heart grew agitated when she thought of this, but when she looked around, she suddenly remembered a horrific fact.
The battle between the three had been so violent that there was nothing left of the mountain range, let alone the alter that had been beneath it. How could Ryu had spared time to care about an alter when he was fighting with his life on the line? Even if his strikes didn’t destroy it, the strikes of the two little nephews definitely would have.
Let alone the fact Ailsa didn’t have the physical strength she needed to dig through such heavy piles of rubble in this state, even if she tasked Esme with doing it, what were the odds the alter would really still be in tact?
Ailsa’s frown only grew deeper.
She sat on her knees in the middle of the carnage, not a single soul within hundreds of kilometers of her. She rested Ryu’s head on her lap, her furrowed brows scrunching up her delicate features.
At that moment, Ryu’s mind was practically blank. He was entirely focused on making sure he took in his next breath. He couldn’t afford to die here, definitely not. He couldn’t.
Ailsa realized then that Ryu had placed all his trust in her. Whether he would be able to pull out of this was something he placed on her shoulders.
It was a kind of heartwarming trust, but it filled Ailsa with guilt and anxiety. She had no idea what she should do.
‘Wait, Ryu’s pupils…’
Ailsa suddenly thought of something.
This was a dream world. The reason things were so difficult for Ailsa to fix was because just exiting to the real world where she had access to all of her strength would be meaningless. Ryu’s body on the outside should be perfectly fine, it was his body in Osiris that had a problem and neither should be related to one another.
But…
Ailsa brought Esme over to hold up Ryu’s head and exited Osiris. When she saw Ryu on the outside, she became certain.
Ryu was completely fine. There was no blood, and either than a slight paleness to his face, he seemed as though he was simply meditating. But, there was one difference.
<br/>His cheeks. Those Crimson veins, even though they had receded mostly after the Earth Gate closed, they were still there.
Ailsa had a sudden enlightenment. There were truly some abilities so heaven defying that Osiris couldn’t replicate them. How could Osiris possibly simulate a year of training for Ryu? It was beyond its ability to do so.
Then how had Ryu done it?
He activated the ability from the outside and it reflected in his abilities in Osiris.
Ailsa took a deep breath before a light smile spread across her face.
With delicate and gentle motions, Ailsa allowed her flowing white dress to fall to her ankles, revealing a sight that could make one’s blood boil.
Her breasts had a gentle slope to them, rising to a mountainous peak. Her pretty pink nipples stood at attention, a fleshly mound of fair skin surrounding it from all sides. Though they didn’t have the alluring sweat on them from when Ryu last laid eyes on them, they still held a proportion most men could only dream of seeing and most women could only dream of having.
Ailsa had always been tall for a woman, standing a half head shorter than Ryu at about 6’2. But, she filled out her tall frame curves that enchanted the mind and plucked the strings of the soul.
Her ruby eyes twinkled, her golden hair sparkling beneath the dim lights of the Immortal Cave. Her slender fingers played with the band of her white laced panties, the movement of the fabric causing the faint outline of two delicate lips to flash in and out of sight.
A slight blush colored Ailsa’s features, leaving her at quite a loss. It wasn’t like this was the first time she had gotten naked in front of Ryu. In fact, he had met her like this. But, there was something very different about this moment that left her feeling incredibly bashful.
It was only the memory of the struggle Ryu was currently experiencing at this time that snapped her out of it.
She pulled down the last bit of fabric that hid her figure. A delicate patch of golden hair hung between her legs, obscuring a partial view of what was below.
Ailsa moved Ryu and set him down, her slender hands pulling at his pants. Her face turned such a bright shade of red that it seemed like she might just pop at any moment.
When she finally got over her emotions, what she found beneath wasn’t what she had expected.
‘I’m such an idiot…’ Ailsa shook her head.
Ryu was currently in an incredible amount of pain. His mind wasn’t even aware of what was happening on the outside. Or, maybe it was, but it was just that he trusted her enough to not worry about what she might be doing.
In his state, how could he possibly be ‘hard’ right now?
Ailsa took a deep breath and grabbed at that snaking thing with her hands. The feeling of warmth in her palms made her take a deep breath.
‘… I’m just doing this to help my Little Ryu. Right? Right.’
