Anita dragged Adrian aside. âSir, Luna is your wife, which makes her my master. Her mother is dying as
we speak Since Iâll be merely sacrificing one vein to save her, I think itâs worth the shot.â

âBut, thatâd be too cruel to youâ¦â Adrian was heartbroken.
Adrian
Alex
âIâm willing to do anything for you, Sir.â Anita smiled.

Saddened, Adrian caressed her soft cheek with one hand. âAnita, ever since youâve followed me,
youâve only been suffering. Youâve never had any happiness or peace. You donât owe me anything, but
I do owe you a lot.â
Adrian
Alex

Anita shook her head. âSir, my greatest happiness comes from being by your side. Even though I am
just your servant, you care for me. And for that, I am content enough!â
Anita
Neela
âBesides, we Benares Dragons can regrow our veins within a hundred years. So, please take it out for
me, Sir!â
Adrianâs heart shuddered, embracing Anita softly.

Being a descendent of the ancient Benares Dragon tribe, Anita was actually far older than Adrian. She
was royalty as well, viewed as the queen of the Benares. Despite all this, she acted as a servant for
Adrianâ¦

âWhat did I ever do to deserve you?â
âSir, you can consider it as me wanting to win your heart by showing you mine.â
She gently pushed Adrian off her, then leaped into the air, showing her true form, a large greenish-
golden Benares Dragon.
Adrian
Alex
âLetâs start then, Sir!â
âAnita, remember this. Youâre not my servant but the most important ally Iâve ever had. I will be
borrowing your vein today, but mark my words. I will generously return this favor someday.â
Anita
Neela
Anita nodded. âIâll be looking forward to that then.â

Roar!
The air was filled with the loud howl of a dragon.
Adrian held the Dragon Bone Sword in one hand and the bloody dragon vein in his other, the one he
had just cut out of Anitaâs body. Using the sword would help minimize the damage to Anita.

Even then, Anita was still crying and quivering from the pain, which made the others very anxious.

After cutting the vein off, Adrian immediately inserted a large amount of divine power into Anitaâs body.
He even grabbed a handful of heavenly law fruit and fed it to her.

âSir, quicky, use the vein on Miss Mayer while itâs still fresh,â Anita said, falling into Adrianâs arms as
she turned back into her ethereal human form.

Luna and Freya rushed over to help, holding Anita for Adrian instead.

âThank you so much!â
âWe Exorcist Dragons will forever be grateful for your sacrifice!â
Adrian dashed over, using the Ultimate Book of Medicine on Martiny, and carved a Zharvakko
formation on the ground. He then placed Anitaâs vein on Martinyâs back. Within seconds, the thick vein
became thinner and softer as if it had turned into a bundle of silk and slid into Martinyâs body.
Adrian

Boom!
Martinyâs body shivered as the redness covered her entire body.
The process wasnât quite comfortable for her as well. All her ruptured veins had to be swallowed up by
the dragon vein before they were substituted. The pain she had to experience was no different from
being skinned alive.
It was merely good fortune that she managed to handle all of that.
After the dragon vein had replaced every vein in Martinyâs body, something miraculous happened.
Dragon chants echoed in the air as several words appeared before her, forming a sentence.
âMay all that preside over warriors be my vanguard.â
The voices were soft and vague, Adrian couldnât really make them out, despite being right next to
Martiny.
Adrian
Alex
On the other hand, Anita understood every single thing. She stood up abruptly with her eyes closed,
listening to those chants carefully. Suddenly, a phantom of a Benares Dragon appeared behind her,
growing in size until it touched the skies.
Anita
Neela
After hearing the dragon chants on Martinyâs body, she was actually evolving and improving.
