บท 597: Untainted

"Devour" Hao Xuan muttered, opening his mouth. The head of the undead creature simply popped out of existence as if it was never even there.

Hao Xuan closed his eyes and felt the rush of pure energy passing through him, cleansing him from inside out. The fatigue and weariness that had consumed his body for days were reduced by just a little, enough for him to be able to stand on his own with ease.

A notification popped up in Hao Xuan's peripheral vision.

"Blood energy restored: 4.1%"

His lips curled up into an indistinct smile. He opened his eyes and saw Amin standing in front of him.

"So...hungry..." Hao Xuan unconsciously mumbled under his breath. It was but a weak murmur but Amin was close enough to hear it. He took a step back, towards the undead horde.

Hao Xuan's smile widened seeing the fear in the boy's eyes. It felt...empowering, for some strange reason.
