The Conquerors Path-Novel

Chapter 642-Last Words

Time seemed to have frozen within the room as Clara continued on with her healing, her hand still on Krisly's forehead as she kept healing Krisly's soul. The color of Krisly's skin started to get bleaker and bleaker yet her expression only seemed to be one of comfort, and it was the only thing keeping the calmness in Nathalia.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to her. Clara is very good at what she does, just as you are."

The mention of my words, along with the small pat on her head, brought the focus of Nathalia to me. Her eyes melted in happiness at the familiar touch, while the beautiful flush that filled her face looked cute and sexy as her entire mind seemed to forget about Krisly and just focus on me. She, by instinct, twirled her hair as she spoke.

"Um, I trust her too."

The words of hers made me smile as I sat on one of the couches in the room. My eyes invited Nathalia, who took a seat beside me. The love she has for me easily throws away all the tension about her friend and fills her body with tension about her shyness as she sits close to me. Her eyes seemingly met mine in hesitation as she asked.

"Um, Austin, do you have any free time these coming weeks?"

'And there it is, that question.'

I mused but I didn't directly reply to Nathalia as a thoughtful look took my face, after which I spoke.

"I might have some time in the coming weeks. Why, what's up?"

This question of mine brought a light smile to Nathalia's face, though that was followed by a huge blush filling her face as she asked with hesitation.

"U-Um...can you then make some time for me?"

The question itself being asked with a lot of willpower from Nathalia, as all her eyes crunched up, her lips pouted a little, her fingers twirling around her fingers, while she seemed to shrink in her place, all pointing towards a confession-like scene, looking very cute from her, but the dense I can't just jump into that conclusion, can I?

"Sure, I can free up my time for a cute junior of mine, but what's it about?"

The sudden assurance of mine brought a burst of happiness to her face, as her body relaxed, her eyes opening up in amazement and happiness, looking at me with shining pupils. While the rest of my words brought another blush to her face filled with embarrassment.

'Damn, she is like an open book.'

While I thought this, Nathalia went by her shy, hesitant expression, her eyes going down to meet her lap, her hands once again playing with themselves, and she even started to rub her legs a little on the floor. By the will of gods, even the densest black hole can see that she likes me, but who am I? I am someone that is even denser than a black hole, so I didn't do anything.

"U-Um...it's a secret!"

Nathalia finally said, shouting out, puffing up her moderately endowed chest as she looked at me with all the confidence she could, which only went back to her shyness. She looked like a cute rabbit trying to look scary, and to that, I smiled at her as I replied.

"Sure, I can wait for it."

Though just as I said this, I got a mental message in my head from Clara, she using the treasure that I gave her.

'Austin! She is fighting back better than I thought! It's getting harder and harder!'

This message of hers made me inwardly frown, though while keeping a smile outward, I turned towards Clara, she still holding onto Krisly's forehead. Yet, a humongous amount of sweat seemed to fill her, her hands trembling a bit, while her face looked pale and, along with me, Nathalia too looked, her face widening from her surprise.

And before she could say anything, I jumped into action, my voice meeting hers as I asked in a hurried tone.

"Is something wrong?"

To my question, Clara nodded her head, quickly cooking up some believable bullshit as she started to speak.

"Yes, it would seem that the remnant of your energy still somehow is surviving within her soul and is making it harder for me to heal her."

While her outer words were such, her inner words to me were different.

'Her soul is fighting back better, even her mental scape is growing on! I need some support!'

Nodding my head clearly at Clara, I asked out loud.

"Is there anything I can do?"

The question of mine led to Clara speaking quickly.

"Yes! I connect you to the soul part causing all the problems, and you can destroy the energy!"

Once again, while she screamed this, another message filled my mind.

'With the connection, you can use your raw power to destroy the resisting parts.'

To this, I quickly asked.

'How much is left?'

To which Clara replied.

'About 35%.'

Seeing so, I quickly spoke.

"Then I will do whatever I can to help."

As I said so, I forwarded my hand towards Clara, who quickly got it, a connection instantly being formed between the two of us, and I started to feel all the same sensations that Clara was going through right now. Within this, I heard out a call, the voice of Krisly calling out.

"How dare you bitches try to do this to me!"

I felt a small layer of white light floating in front of me within a humongous darkness, beside me is the soul of Clara suppressing the last fighting energy of Krisly, who seems vehement and extremely pissed off as she keeps pushing forth her own will to get out of this cage that has been built.

"Then that's your last words."

With that, I snapped my finger, this time my power at the peak of the Origin realm being more than enough to quickly be a support for Clara. She easily removed the last true will of Krisly, the woman in question not even being able to resist after which her true free will ceased to exist at all, leaving behind the husk that we need.

"Everything all right?"

I asked, to which the soul form of Clara replied.

"It's all good, I will deal with the rest."

With that, the connection broke, and I appeared back in the room, my hand still held by Clara but the connection no longer exists. Taking my hand from Clara, I looked at Nathalia looking at me and Krisly with a worried look.

"Are you okay?"

She asked to which I replied with a smile, waving my hand at her as I spoke.

"Yeah, I'm fine, it was an easy thing to get rid of the energy."

The assurance of my words made Nathalia sigh out as she once again focused worriedly on Krisly, while this time the pressure that was pushing against Clara didn't exist. So, she quickly completed all the steps that had to be completed, and within the half an hour mark, the darkness that had entered inside Krisly's body quickly flew out of her, returning back to Clara.

And with that, she took a step back, losing a bit of her balance but then I was there to catch her body as I asked.

"You okay?"

To this, Clara gave a thin smile as she responded.

"I'm good."

And with that, I turned towards Nathalia looking at me catching Clara with jealousy, though she quickly shook it off as she too asked.

"Clara, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

Clara once again replied as she pointed at Krisly as she spoke.

"And she is fine now too."

As she said so, all of us could see Krisly sleeping with a slight smile of relaxation on her face, seemingly being in a good dream, and this was more than enough to make Nathalia smile. And before she called out to Krill, I took the earring from Clara's back while giving her a portion, though I looked like I was giving her a position, I quickly used my heal to bring her back to the tip-top condition in a second.

Now she looked all well and good as Krill entered inside the room, the man's eyes widening as he looked at his sister. He rushed forth to touch his sister's hand, feeling her warmth and the calm smile on her face. Krill turned toward Clara as he spoke.

"Thank you for saving my sister."

To this, Clara just waved her hand at him as she spoke.

"I don't mind, it's my duty to heal, and more than that, it's my duty to follow my master's command."

At the last of her words, Krill turned to look at me as he spoke in a low tone.

"Thank you for this and sure you are a good friend of mine."

"We will decide that after our fight."

At this mention of our fight, Krill smiled.
