I Healed Him… Then He Tried to Chain Me

Cai Xiaowei lay weakly on the ground.
Her entire body felt as if it were tied down, making it difficult to move.
Fortunately, she could now mobilize part of her abilities.
She was trying to mobilize all the energy in her body.
She believed that if she could gather enough energy to perform the Holy Maiden transformation, she would definitely be able to break the restrictions on her body.
As for the battle happening on the other side, she paid no attention to it at all.
She had no idea what they were saying.

Silva killed another small monster with a swing of his sword.
But the continuous fighting made his hand tremble slightly.
‘Am I reaching my limit?
Who would have thought I would fall here so soon?’

The Blood Soul Beast was unhappy that Silva had killed most of the small monsters it had summoned.
It roared and stomped toward Silva.
Its massive body made the ground shake continuously.
As it ran, it even brought gusts of strong wind.

The beast’s front feet stomped down toward Silva.
Silva roared and raised his greatsword, barely blocking the strike.
The immense force drove Silva directly into the ground.

The Blood Soul Beast was still not satisfied.
Its three heads breathed fire onto the ground.
It only stopped when the soil itself was nearly melted from the flames.
Then it shook its body proudly and let out a few soft cries toward Mellis.

“Mm, you did well.
I will reward you.”
Mellis waved her hand at the Blood Soul Beast to quiet it down.

“Is it dead already?
The Golden Knight isn’t all that impressive after all.”
Mellis looked at the scorched earth and smiled.

Just as she was about to turn around to look at Cai Xiaowei, the scorched earth suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Mellis seemed to sense something, and her expression soured.
The Blood Soul Beast also sensed it and glared angrily.

A person burst out of the ground.
But it was no longer Silva’s appearance.
His short golden hair had become long golden locks flowing behind him.
His armor had become semi-enclosed.
His appearance, in particular, had undergone a dramatic change.
He slowly opened his eyes, his expression now sharp and fierce.

Cai Xiaowei, who was mobilizing her abilities, suddenly felt all the energy in her body surge with excitement.
It felt like the joy of meeting an old friend.

Silva also sensed Cai Xiaowei.
He only gave her a brief glance, then looked back at Mellis.
“Without you, I never would have known that I am actually a Leo.
However, I won’t thank you.
Now, let’s continue fighting.”

“Haha, what a joke from the heavens.
You turn out to be a Leo.
But that’s fine.
You’ve just awakened and aren’t very strong yet.
If I kill you, I can earn a great merit from the Queen.”
Mellis laughed eerily.

“Come on.
Let me show you the power of Leo among the twelve zodiac signs.”
With that, Silva turned into a blur and lunged at Mellis.

The Blood Soul Beast saw this and immediately blocked Silva’s path, slapping at him with both palms.
Silva didn’t retreat but advanced, meeting the attack with his fist.
A loud bang rang out, as if the very air around them had exploded.
Silva stumbled back more than ten steps.
The Blood Soul Beast, however, was sent flying dozens of meters away.

The surrounding small monsters screeched and lunged at Silva.
Silva’s expression changed.
He opened his mouth and let out a low growl.
The small monsters were instantly torn apart, the scene extremely bloody.

Mellis was also shaken by this growl, spitting out blood, her face pale.
“The power of Leo and the Lion’s Roar are indeed formidable.”

“I have lost today.
Just wait, we’ll meet again.”
Mellis paused for a moment, chanted a few incantations in her heart.
The Blood Soul Beast lying on the ground turned into a blood shadow and entered the symbol.
Mellis also transformed into a swarm of bats and quickly flew away.

Silva did not give chase.
After Mellis left, he suddenly collapsed to the ground, and his transformation disappeared.
He was covered in wounds, his armor completely shattered.
Having just awakened as a Leo and still managing to unleash his ultimate technique, he had already pushed himself to his absolute limit.
He had been outwardly strong but inwardly weak at that moment.
Still, the goal of scaring away Mellis had been achieved.

“You there, girl.
You should have felt that strange stirring in your body just now, right?”
Silva couldn’t move at all and could only lie on the ground talking to Cai Xiaowei.

“I felt it.
What does it have to do with anything?”
Cai Xiaowei continued mobilizing her abilities while talking to Silva.
After all, Silva had saved her.

“Let me tell you.
You are the Holy Maiden.
Because I am a Leo, I can sense you.
You must have sensed me too.”
Silva continued.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Cai Xiaowei didn’t want to become the Holy Maiden.
If she became the Holy Maiden, she would be taken away by Westerners.
She didn’t want to leave her family and friends.

“Haha, I’ll explain it to you slowly later.
My men should find us shortly.
Then you will come back with me to Europe.
That is where you belong.”
Silva was in a good mood.
Not only had he become a Leo and greatly increased his strength, but he had also conveniently found the Holy Maiden.

“Dream on.
I won’t go with you.
My family and friends are here.”
Cai Xiaowei refused firmly.

“You won’t have a choice later.”
Silva wasn’t bothered.
When the time came, he would just tie her up and take her away.

Cai Xiaowei was very angry.
Was he threatening her?

Then, in her anger, her abilities suddenly flowed freely.
A flash of white light shone.
Huge white wings appeared on Cai Xiaowei’s back.
She slowly rose into the air.
Golden long hair cascaded behind her.
Her blue eyes were filled with a sacred aura.

After Cai Xiaowei transformed, a sudden restlessness arose in her heart.
It forced her to fly toward Silva and heal him.

‘How infuriating!
Why is this happening?
Is it the bond between the Holy Maiden and the twelve zodiac signs?’

Seeing that the girl in the distance had actually completed the Holy Maiden transformation, Silva was very surprised.
However, when the Holy Maiden flew in front of him and he saw her face clearly, he became angry instead.

“How is it you?
Why aren’t you dead yet?”
Silva shouted angrily.

Cai Xiaowei wanted to speak, but her body began to cast a spell on its own.

“Holy Light Healing.”
A white, sacred light covered Silva’s body.
Silva immediately felt an indescribable coolness and a sense of comfort he had never experienced before.

After about half an hour, Cai Xiaowei’s body finally stopped the healing.
She then felt a wave of weakness.
She could barely maintain her transformation.

“I won’t thank you!
I never imagined you weren’t dead.
Did those Easterners revive you again?”
Silva stood up and looked coldly at Cai Xiaowei.
His wounds were now half healed.

“I have no idea what you’re talking about.
I really don’t understand why I healed you.
Whatever, consider it my thank-you gift for saving me just now.
I’m leaving.
Goodbye!”
Cai Xiaowei turned to leave.

Just then, the sound of a group of people’s footsteps came from a distance.

“Captain, are you alright?”
The group saw that their captain was injured and quickly came over to check on him.

“Pabi, that is the Holy Maiden.
She’s trying to escape.
Take out our Holy Maiden Lock.
We can’t let her escape this time.
Tie her up directly and take her back.”
Silva shouted loudly.

Hearing this, Cai Xiaowei quickly flapped her wings to fly away.
But she was too late.
Vice-Captain Pabi had already thrown the Holy Maiden Lock.

The Holy Maiden Lock seemed to have a tracking device.
It flew toward Cai Xiaowei at high speed.
She hadn’t gotten far before it wrapped around her body.
The moment her wings were entangled, Cai Xiaowei “crashed.”

‘What terrible luck.
Why did I go and heal him?
Now I’m being captured by him instead.’
Cai Xiaowei’s whole body ached from the fall.
She had now learned the story of the farmer and the snake firsthand…
