Alpha Damien’s Trouble Maker Novel

Chapter 174 Selene I finally turned my head to look at him properly. 65 vouchers Remi stood a few steps away from the bed wearing his pale healer's robes, the fabric slightly wrinkled and creased as if he had been moving around restlessly for hours. The usually composed and elegant healer now looked somewhat exhausted, and there were faint shadows beneath his eyes that revealed he had not rested at all. His sleeves were rolled up slightly, and a few strands of hair had fallen out of place, which was unusual for someone as meticulous as him.

From the way his shoulders were slightly slumped and the tension in his posture, it was clear that he had been trying to save Chloe ever since she was brought into this room. "What do you mean?" I asked calmly, my voice steady even though my eyes remained fixed on Chloe's pale face. Remi slowly lifted his gaze to meet mine, and I immediately noticed that every trace of his usual playful and teasing expression had completely disappeared. The man who normally liked to joke and make light comments now looked serious.

and thoughtful, as if the situation in front of him had stripped away his usual carefree attitude. "Chloe is different from most people," he said slowly, carefully choosing his words as though he wanted to make sure I understood the gravity of the situation. He paused briefly before continuing his explanation, and during that moment his eyes drifted back to Chloe's unconscious form on the bed. "For ordinary people, the organ that keeps them alive is their heart, because as long as the heart continues beating, the body will continue functioning and sustaining life.

However, Chloe does not function in the same way as normal people do." The true source of Chloe's life is her core, which is the place inside her body where her magic is stored and circulated. Chloe possesses an enormous amount of magical energy, far more than what an average person could ever hold, and because of that her entire body resonates with magic constantly. In other words, magic is not simply a power that Chloe can use when she wants to fight.

Magic is the very thing that keeps her existence stable." "During the fight earlier, Chloe forced an overwhelming amount of magic through her body in a very short period of time because she was trying to push herself beyond her limits. That sudden pressure was far too much for her core to withstand, and the core eventually shattered under the strain. Now the magic that once sustained her body is slowly leaking away, and once the remaining magic inside her completely runs out..." He hesitated for a brief moment before finishing the sentence.

"...she will not survive." I remained silent for a few seconds as I absorbed his explanation, my gaze lowering thoughtfully as I considered every word he had just said. What Remi explained made perfect sense to me. Chloe was very similar to me in that regard because she possessed an enormous amount of spiritual power within her bosly For people like us, our spiritual core was not merely a storage place for power but a central pillar that sustained our entire existence.

While ordinary people relied on their heart as the most important organ in their body, someone like Chloe relied on the core that stored and circulated her magic. And now that core had been shattered.

Which meant her life itself was slowly slipping away I turned my head to look at Chloe again, and my gaze softened slightly as I watched her unconscious form lying on the bed: Her face was pale and fragile, and even though she remained completely still most of the time, there were moments wher her fingers twitched slightly or her brows furrowed as if something deep inside her body was causing her pala. 174 11:02 am P P P T Chapter 174 0:7 55 voucherk After watching her for a moment longer, I turned my attention back to Remi and gave a small nod of acknowledgment.

"Thank you for explaining," I said calmly. "I will take care of it now, so you can leave." Remi blinked at me in confusion the moment he heard my words, and his brows immediately knitted together as if he thought he had misheard me. "Huh? Take care of it?" he repeated, clearly puzzled by my statement. He took a small step closer to the bed while looking between Chloe and me, and the confusion on his face only deepened. "How exactly are you planning to take care of it?" he asked seriously.

"I am a healer who has spent years studying medicine and magic, and I cannot repair a shattered core or stop the magic inside her from leaking away. If someone like me cannot fix something like this, then how do you plan to do it?" His voice did not contain even a hint of mockery or arrogance. Instead, he sounded genuinely curious, as if he were trying to understand a strange idea that had suddenly appeared in front of him. I turned my head to face him completely, and my gaze remained steady as I spoke.

"Trust me, I will not let her die." Remi stared at me for several long seconds, carefully studying my expression as if he were trying to determine whether I truly believed what I was saying. Eventually, he let out a long sigh and lifted one hand to run his fingers through his slightly messy hair, a gesture that revealed his exhaustion more clearly than anything else. When he lowered his hand again, the familiar casual smile that he often wore slowly returned to his lips, although it looked much weaker than usual.

"I know he will probably kill me if I allow his niece to die," he said lightly, though the seriousness in his eyes betrayed the joke. He shrugged slightly before continuing. "But for some reason, it is very difficult for me to say no to you." He glanced once more at Chloe before turning his body toward the door. "Besides, I have already run out of ideas to save her, so I suppose letting you try cannot make things any worse." With that, he walked toward the door without looking back.

He opened it quietly and stepped outside the room before closing it gently behind him, leaving the room completely silent. After he left, I stood there for a moment before slowly walking toward the bed where Chloe lay unconscious I sat down carefully beside her and reached out to brush a loose strand of hair away from her face, tucking it gently behind her ear so it would not bother her. Then I took her hand in mine and held it gently "Do not worry," I said while looking down at her pale face. "I will not let anything happen to you" Chloe did not respond, and her eyes remained closed.

However, the trembling in her body gradually slowed until it finally stopped completely. "What are you doing, Selene?' The voice came from deep within my mind, calm but sharp with concern Mira. My wolf had been silent until now, but the moment I began gathering spiritual energy inside my core, she immediately 2/4 11:02 am PPPT. Chapter 174 understood what I was planning. 'Are you really planning to use your own spiritual power to repair her core?' Mira continued, her voice carrying a mixture of disbelief and frustration.

'Do you even understand how much spiritual energy you will lose in the process if you do something like that? You will drain a large portion of your own power to restore her magic, and that means you will become extremely weak during the fight tomorrow. If you go into battle with your spiritual power nearly exhausted, you will lose.' I remained silent for a moment as I listened to her words, my eyes still fixed on Chloe's face. I am partly responsible for what happened to her,' I finally. 'I was the one who told her not to give up during the fight.

I encouraged her to push forward, and she forced too much power out because of that. Since my words pushed her to continue, I should take responsibility for the consequences.' Mira immediately rejected that idea. That is not your responsibility,' she said firmly. 'You told her not to give up, but you never expected her to push herself until her core shattered. That was her own decision.' You are right, it was her decision. But I still want to save her.' My fingers tightened slightly around Chloe's hand as I spoke. 'She is a good person, and she has a great deal of potential nside her.

Someone like that should not die here before she even has the chance to grow. I refuse to let her life end like his. Mira fell silent after hearing that. She was not someone who spoke carelessly or emotionally. Mira was rational and honest, and she always said exactly what she believed to be true. That was why I trusted her judgment, even when she disagreed with me. she knew exactly what the consequences would be if I chose to do this. If I poured my own spiritual power into Chloe in order to repair her shattered core, my own reserves would drop ignificantly.

Entering tomorrow's fight with weakened power would put me at a serious disadvantage. For someone else, that would mean certain defeat. After a while, Mira finally spoke again. She let out a quiet scoff, but there was a trace of acceptance in her tone. I thought you said you were going to be selfish in this lifetime! A small smile appeared on my lips. Oh, I am selfish, I replied. Very selfish! My gaze softened slightly as I looked at Chloe. But I won't be selfish for the people I care about! I closed my eyes slowly as spiritual power began to gather deep inside my core.

And besides, who said I will lose just because my spiritual power is reduced The energy inside my body began circulating faster as I guided it carefully toward Chloe "No matter what happens tomorrow..." My hand tightened diglatly around hers With that, I completely closed my eyes and began channeling the power of my own core into Chloe's body, carefully guiding my spiritual energy into her shattered core so that the broken pieces could slowly begin repairing themselves while 3/4 11:02 am P P PT.
