Chương 275: A Bond Forged in Sacrifice: Rio and Eve's Blood, Mana, and the Samsara Lotus

As a result, a tender, genuine affection blossomed between them, softly unfolding like the petals of a delicate flower, nurturing the growing bond they shared. 

Eve's blood seeped into the lotus, triggering a subtle shift as it began to unfurl ever so slightly. Her face paled, drained of color from the loss of blood, and she looked as if she desperately needed to rest.

Similar to Rio, she placed her hand on the lotus, allowing her mana to flow into it. The lotus responded, blooming a little further, but not quite enough.

Exhausted from the effort and having expended 90% of her mana, She grasped Rio's hand, her grip strong but soft, and led him inside the wondrous forest realm.

Without resistance, he allowed her to take his hand and lead him into the serene embrace of the wondrous forest realm as they disappeared from the death realm.
