Oh no! After I Reincarnated, My Moms Became Son-cons! - Volume 16 - Chapter 65

Chapter 65

I shakily extended forth my right hand and reached my finger nails below my scale . It felt akin to prying underneath your fingernails . It was strangely scary and also painful . Below my scales was my flesh . I pinched a scale with my fingers, clenched my teeth and then aggressively yanked it .

*Rip!!*

I was mentally ready . The pain still caused me to hiss, nonetheless . Small droplets of blood trickled onto my wrist . The scale I pulled out brought a piece of flesh underneath along . I quivered due to the shock . The feeling was the same as pulling your finger nail out . It was a sharp pain, and the air blowing onto my naked finger stung . I trembled as I threw the scale away . I took in a deep breath . I then pinched another scale and once again aggressively yanked it…

I remember there was once a form of torture where people’s fingernails were ripped out . Just thinking about it sends chills down spine . That sort of torture was once used on revolutionaries . I developed great admiration for them after trying it on myself, because the pain wasn’t something people can handle . It was the same as having your teeth yanked out from your mouth .

Underneath every scale were veins and flesh . The rain falling on my exposed flesh stung . I could see my veins jolting a little . My blood poured out of the open wounds then ran down to my wrist, where the rain then washed it down onto Luna’s face .

It would’ve been nice if that was enough . However, it wasn’t enough blood . I had to continue… I yanked out scale after scale after scale and then more . The small holes weren’t enough . The small wounds didn’t provide enough blood…

I told myself, “I have to continue . I must continue . I must continue . If I can’t continue, I won’t be able to save Luna . I must do this . I must do this…”

I threw aside another scale covered in blood . I then weakly sat down to one side and panted . The pain in my left arm felt comparable to a snapped arm . The pain hammered my brain over and over, causing me to feel lightheaded . I felt as though I was going to pass out from the pain . I could barely see Luna’s face through my hazy gaze . I gently caressed her with my right hand . Voice soft, I said, “It’s all right . It’s all right, Luna . You’ll soon be okay . You’ll soon be okay… I’ll save you in a second… It’s all right… It’s all right…”

I took in a deep breath to calm myself down .  The rain that poured down onto my head sobered me up a little . I wiped my tears off my face, and then looked inside my left wrist . I had pulled off over a dozen scales . My flesh underneath was quivering a little . I took quick breaths to calm myself down . Everybody will feel some degree of fear when looking at their own wounds . All living organisms fear pain and death; that was just normal . What made humans, humans, though, was that they could give up their own life and hurt themselves just as I did .

I lowered my head and shut my eyes . I bit my left arm, revealing my flesh . All of my cells in my left arm screamed at me to pull my teeth away . Because of the pain, my vision was blurry . My tears coursed down my face, and I cried out as I bit my wrist to tear my flesh . I could feel myself tearing my flesh off as if I was a madman . Blood splashed into my face, and I dropped onto my bottom . The darkness before me and the pain left me so weak that I literally couldn’t stand up . My left arm spat up blood correspondingly to my heart beats . I mustered up all my strength to drag my body over to Luna’s chest .

Blood finally flowed onto the dragon’s heart sitting in Luna’s chest . The dragon’s heart absorbed every drop of blood . The purplish-black heart finally turned red gradually . It extended out its tentacles and attached itself to the snapped veins . It then coiled around them . I noticed blood begin to flow through Luna’s veins again, turning the purplish-black colour that was similar to burnt flesh back into the blood-red of life .

Obvious changes to Luna’s body began to take place . Her broken ribs grew once again . Her destroyed intestines began to reconnect . Her liver gradually regrew . Her lungs were active again . The dragon’s heart circulated my blood throughout Luna’s body . I revealed a subtle smile . I brought my left arm closer to the dragon’s heart and mumbled to myself, “Here… take some more… Take some more… Bring my Luna back . Bring my Luna back . I beg you… Bring my Luna back… Bring my Luna back…”

The part of Luna’s body that I cut open slowly reattached itself . My blood spilt onto the chest region of her clothes . I couldn’t last any longer . While I was the descendant of a dragon and had the blood of a dragon, I could still die from blood loss . I weakly dropped down from above Luna’s body .

I wasn’t afraid I’d die, because if I was about to die, my mana inside me would automatically produce more blood to replace the blood I lost and heal my wounds at maximum speed . In saying that, I really wanted to see Luna wake up…

I rolled onto the ground and lied there, panting . I looked in Luna’s direction, but my vision was blurry . I held her hand tightly, but I couldn’t feel anything with my left hand at the moment . As a matter of fact, the painful sensation was barely detectable . Therefore, I didn’t know if warmth was returning to her hand or not . All I knew was that her body had recovered, but she, herself, hadn’t recovered…

I couldn’t see anything anymore . I had done my best, but I couldn’t hang in there . I shut my eyes and seemingly lost all conscious in the blink of an eye . I passed out, for I had mustered up all of my mana to repair my damaged parts . I had to collect all the mana for maintaining life and bodily functioning just as Mommy Vyvyan would have to .

I silently rambled, “Who will shelter Luna from the rain now that I’ve passed out, though…? Wouldn’t I miss her smile when she comes to, then? I have so much to say to her . I want to personally apologise to her, and I want to personally tell her that I love her… But I’ve passed out… So does that mean I can’t say any of that…? Has the rain stopped…?”

I stopped feeling the rain drip onto my face . Instead, I heard a clear breeze and the sound of flowers swaying . Birds were chirping in the distance . The bright sunlight shone onto my face and stung my eyes . I felt I’d still see the blinding light even with my eyes shut .

“It must be daytime now . Is daytime this warm here? Something warm has enveloped my head . This soft and warm embrace is so comfortable that I don’t want to lift my head off,” I thought in a daze .

II suddenly realised why I’d be there . I told myself, “I can’t just lie here . I can’t just lie here…”

I vigorously opened my eyes and raised my head . I shouted, “Luna!!”

Around me was a field of flowers that the rain from last night soaked . Some of the flowers were drooping downwards . The soil around exuded a fragrance a pleasing fragrance . I looked to my left in a flustered fashion . Luna, who was supposed to be lying next to me, was gone . All that was there on my left was a flower that had been pressed down on . Just as I went to stand up and search for her, I heard a familiar voice next to my face that almost brought tears to my eyes, “Your Majesty, I am here . Do you need something?”

The voice froze me in place . I turned with a dumbstruck expression on my face . What came up wasn’t the warmth of the bright sunlight shining on my face, but Luna’s gentle smile that was next to me . The sunlight that shone on her face emitted a gentle blush . She looked at me with a smile . The smile that was so bright stung my eyes, causing me to feel dizzy and my vision appeared fuzzy .

Luna carefully reached out to grab hold of my hand . With a soft giggle, she said, “Your Majesty… I do not know what exactly happened… But this feels the same as a dream I could not wake up from… I have finally awoken… I have finally seen you again… You are all right… I am so glad you are all right… I protected you, correct…? Your Majesty… I successfully protected you…”

I pulled Luna into my tight embrace before she could react, and then kissed her lips . I had forgotten how long it had been since I kissed her lips . It had been so long since I last hugged her . It had been ages since I felt her warmth and tenderness . Luna was shocked at first, but then she shut her eyes . I saw two trails of tears slowly course down her face . She hugged me back and pressed her body firmly against mine . She hugged me with all her might as though she was afraid I’d leave her again .

The gentle breeze brought the fragrance of the flowers next to us over . The two of us sat in the warm sunlight, locked in each other’s warm embrace . Luna’s long hair wasn’t tied up, and thus, teased my nerves by my ear . Our lips were plastered together; our tears mixed in with each other’s . In the moment, our relationship wasn’t that of maid and Prince . In that moment, we were a man and woman expressing our affection for each other . We were lovers who overcame many obstacles to be in love .

I finally got to see my Luna again . Finally…

“Luna… I missed you so much… I really… missed you…”

“Me, too… Me, too . . Your Majesty… I love you… I really… love you…”
