As Erdrich was being healed by the demon blood potions that Blake had prepared, in the side, he put his hand in the floor, and then placed his fingers underground. The bodies of all the soldiers, priests, but mostly demons lying over the floor suddenly began to grow pale and then drier over a few seconds since he did this.
“Blood Extraction.”
FLUOOOSSSH!
Below everyone’s noses and only with Erika who had a higher perception ability noticing, Blake absorbed the blood of over a hundred corpses surrounding him all while transforming them all into Blood Ki in an instant! Thanks to his improved abilities which he had been enhancing over the years, not only he was able to turn Blood into Blood Ki, but through the “Ki Cleansing Technique” he was able to clean the Blood Ki and then imbue other elements into it to transform its elemental power.
Like this, as he feed Erdrich some potions, he unleashed several streams of golden Ki which connected with Elizabeth and Jack, as he drained a bit of their remaining Holy Light-Attribute Mana and fused it with the cleansed and pure Ki he transformed from the Blood Ki, creating, once more, the pure and healing essence of Holy Light Ki!
FLASH!
“You can laze all you want once the war is over.” He said with a merciless tone of voice, as he infused this healing Ki into the bodies of Erdrich, Jack, and Elizabeth, while sharing a bit with everybody else through a small Ki Domain, fueling everybody with new stamina and vitality.
“Ah!” Erdrich suddenly woke up completely, as he gasped for air and began to cough some of the blood potion he had been forcefully drinking. Blake was being so rough he felt like he was drowning. “Cough! Cough…! Ugh… Hahh… Eh? Blank!”
“So you’re finally awake.” Sighed Blake as he looked at Erdrich while sitting in the floor. “You’re okay now?”
“Y-Yeah…” Erdrich sighed in relief, looking at his own body and seeing no demon parts now. However, quickly after, his memories of the entire fight reached his mind, making him realize he had gone insane.
“I-I am sorry for what I did… I really couldn’t control myself… The demons spoke and… something inside of me awakened… I was unable to fight back…” He sighed, as Erdrich quickly started to cry. Blake wasn’t into overly dramatic scenes, however, and quickly stopped him from crying with a karate chop.
“Ouch! W-What’s with that?!” He cried.
“No need to cry like a baby, we all get it. Your powers simply went out of control. Even then, you helped clean a lot of the demons in such a form, so you helped nonetheless. We can discuss what truly happened to you later, Erdrich, we are in the middle of a war.” Said Blake while sighing.
“Blank is right.” Said Seth. “For now, it would be better if we join the frontlines as quickly as possible, I can’t even imagine what they’re up against if we had such a hell in here to deal with.”
“What you did was dangerous, but you didn’t hurt anybody thanks to Blake. I will forgive you for this for the moment, Erdrich, but after this is done, we’ll have a long talk!” Ellergest spoke, as his giant holy dragon quickly flew behind him.
“Oi, old man, are you done with your sensitive speech? There’s a ton of demons in the front lines, we gotta hurry if you don’t want to be useless again!” The dragon quickly broke the tension.
“Do you always have to come and interrupt me when I am lecturing the children?!” Asked Ellergest angrily. “Ugh, but yeah, we gotta hurry, explanations and the like can wait for later!”
As Ellergest spoke, the majority agreed. Blake might be strong and smart, but he was still a child, nobody was going to obey him aside from his very close friends that knew he was a reliable leader. Because of this, which Blake already knew about and assumed, he left the leadership to Ellergest, the oldest and most wisest of everyone here (without counting his secret previous life). Everyone obeyed and respected the old Ellergest after all, so he was the perfect tool to make everyone do as he wanted.
At the same time, Elizabeth and Jack finally regained their consciousness. Jack noticed the big wound made by a cursed sword on his stomach was now healed, but a big and ugly scar was left behind, and it still hurt like hell whenever he moved, but he felt his stamina and vitality, alongiside his mana, quickly recovering thanks to Blake’s Holy Light Ki Treatment.
“I-I am alive? I can’t believe it… I was surely dead…” Sighed Jack, touching his face as a few tears came from his eyes. “I have too much to live yet… I guess I can’t die for now.”
“You can pay me later for the healing services I’ve given to you.” Said Blake with an emotionless and expressionless demeanor, making Jack more annoyed than anything.
“You sure took a long time coming here, you brat!” Jack barked back.
“Is that how you treat the one that healed you?” Asked Blake while squinting his eyes… he was honestly intimidating even while not using the skill.
“Geh…” Jack muttered, as he suddenly felt a tiny girl hugging his torso.
“Jack, you’re alive!”
“Elizabeth…”
Elizabeth had also woken up just now, she wasn’t that wounded, and had mostly sustained burns through demon fire generated by shockwaves from Erdrich, which were promptly healed by Blake. She had fallen unconscious before the fight even started due to overusing her Mana when she summoned her angel and transformed it into an “adult” form.
“Seems like everyone is better now, good!” Said Erika while nodding, she had one of the biggest MP pools, only below Blake, who only had a lot of Mana because he drank those Mana Potions back then and also constantly trained his Mana for it to passively increase over time. She had been using her dolls almost nonstop to treat everybody.
“Blank! Thank you for healing us!” Elizabeth quickly ran towards Blake and ignored Erika who did most of the work, hugging him tightly.
…Erika’s face quickly darkened as she saw this mysterious new girl being a bit too close with Blake.
