Chapter 1001 – Gluttony Bath
Ely moved closer, worry in every line of her body. She lifted her hand and sent another gentle wave of healing into him. Lux did not wake, but his breathing steadied slightly.
"His core is still strained," Ely said.
Lyra stepped forward. "I will prepare the healing crystals."
Sira shook her head.
"My room first. Bath. Then healing bed."
Lyra bowed. "Understood."
Aela watched Sira hold Lux.
The demon looked different asleep.
Less sharp.
Still dangerous, perhaps, but no longer performing. No smile, no clever words, no greedy eyes watching every angle. Just a young demon whose body had finally surrendered after doing something far older and larger than himself.
For some reason, that made him look younger.
Not weak.
