1112 Sacrifice and Victory (3)

Rex reluctantly extended his hand towards Edward's face with a heavy heart.

His fingers were trembling with apprehension.

As his palm made contact, a surge of energy coursed through his veins, the Drain Touch skill activating with a potent force. Instantly, Edward's life essence began to flow into Rex's hand—a torrent of vitality that filled him with newfound vigor.

Swoosh!

Five streams of life essence formed, converging into one before being absorbed by Rex.

Instead of merging with Rex, the life essence gained disappeared as soon as it entered.

As opposed to healing his wounds, the life essence went straight to his cursed source which was gaining size rapidly. Due to the corruption—Edward's life essence had become robust, it filled Rex's cursed source expressively.

On the other hand, Edward's strength waned with each passing moment.

His body grew weaker and weaker as the life force was drained from his very being.
