… 

I stood up easily and used [Blood Healing Magic]. But since [Blood Healing Magic] needs the blood of another being to heal yourself, I just drew my blood from the bleeding elf in front of me. 

"Akito, stop," I hear a cold voice come from behind me. 

"Your highness!" I shout, kneeling on one knee towards her highness, who had appeared behind me. 

"This elf seems useful. Don't kill her…." 

Her highness looks towards my massive wound that had been ripped open by the elf before clicking her tongue and slitting her wrist with her own nail. The fresh blood dripped down onto the flower below us. 

I somehow was able to hold myself back from lunging at the delicious and aromatic blood in front of me. 

"Don't drink it. Use it to heal your wounds. My blood has much more vitality than any other monster or human," Her highness says. 

"A-as you wish," I say, activating [Blood Healing Magic] once again. 

Why didn't her highness use her white fire on me? Does she want to test something out? 

Setting aside my questions, I sat down with my legs crossed and closed my eyes. Normally, I didn't need this unless I wanted to get the full nutrients from the blood to heal myself. And, of course, I didn't want to waste the queen's precious blood; it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance. 

I let out a deep breath before pushing my hands out in front of me. I could hear the sound of liquid sloshing around as I manipulated it towards my wounded cheek and the wound on my temple. 

The thick and aromatic blood first came in contact with my cheek, where it slowly regenerated the meat that the wind elf had cut off. This wasn't a nice and calming procedure as it literally felt like my wound had been set on fire… the complete opposite of Ichika's warm [Healing Magic]. 

"Urk… HUFF HUFF HUFF…" 

I finally finished my cheek, which was the worst one of my 2 biggest wounds. The one on my temple wasn't going to be as bad… but I still prepared myself for the upcoming pain. If I didn't prepare myself, I would immediately fail and have to restart. 

Letting out another deep breath, I pressed the thick blood against my bleeding temple. Suddenly, it felt like hundreds of needles were pricking my injury and injecting pure fire into my head. It hurt… but I had to withstand it. 

After about 5 minutes of struggling and almost losing consciousness… I had finally finished. In fact, I felt rejuvenated, like I had never participated in the raging war that continued to go on beside me. 

(Arpious POV) 

"Good, do you feel any different?" I asked Akito, seeing how he had mostly recovered. 

"Yes, I feel so full of strength. Is this the power of your blood, my queen?" 

"I guess so," 

Though it was only a hypothesis, I thought maybe since Akito needs another being's blood to use [Blood Healing Magic], the quality of the blood might produce different effects… and it seems I was right. 

Even though I asked him, I already knew he was bursting with energy. Even his muscles after deactivating [Body Enhancement] were becoming bulkier by the second. 

"Alright, go help Treyni torture some information out of the dwarf. I want to know where he came from. You can kill him once you've tortured enough information out of him," I say, dismissing Akito. 

Akito stands up and bows deeply. 

"As you wish for my queen," He says before jumping off the chessboard of different flowers below us. 

Okay… now this elf girl right here… she will be useful. Well, it really depends on her answers... 

I scan my eyes over to the elf girl who was missing half of both of her legs. She had already fainted from the pain, and I could tell she was going to die of blood loss anytime now.

…

"I guess my race is just that superior… Well, actually, I also absorbed those divine lights, which gave me the boost in stats… her level cap until she can evolve is so high, but her stats are so low… is it because she has relationships with a human? Also, it's not only her, but Sophia's mom and the dwarf also have the same amount of health, mana, and stamina as the humans…." 

I ended my train of thought and used Ichimei on the elf girl before she bled to death. In just a few seconds, her legs were back to normal, and her breathing had started to balance out. 

"Wait, maybe it's the effect of the Hero title… but I already have it, and I don't see a reason… AH! I don't care. I'll ask this girl right here," I say, slapping the elf girl's cheek very lightly.

She slowly started to wake up, and once she saw my creepy eyes, she jolted her head up and scurried back while still on her butt. Her face was of pure terror as she started to hyperventilate. 

"Calm the hell down," 

I only ended up scaring her more. 

Scrolling through my status, I tried to find a skill that could calm her down, leading me to find [Holy Calming Aura]. It was a new skill that I got from drinking the blood of the Healing Hero. 

I immediately activated it, causing a glowing yellow light to seep from my body. The shaking of the elf girl's body slowly calmed down, and her hyperventilated breathing slowed down as well.

"W-what do you want?" The elf girl asks, still wary of me as she tries to search for her wooden bow. 

"Oh, are you trying to find this?" I ask, pulling out the wooden bow that dropped next to her. 

"GIVE THAT BACK!" The elf girl shouts, sweat dripping from every orifice of her body.
