SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 728

Chapter 728 What are you standing around for, boy?

Thankfully, Damon had spent the last few days practically living inside the logic of poisons, breaking them apart, reconstructing them, understanding everything about them from head to toe. So the moment the symptoms aligned, recognition hit him.

"Found you," he muttered.

This wasn't a simple toxin. Crude in design, but viciously effective. The good news was that he knew how to break it down. The bad news was that the antidote required a very specific herb, one that had no business growing in random places.

"Now the real question is…" Damon exhaled slowly. "Will this place even have it?"

He closed his eyes and expanded his senses, pushing past the cave walls, past stone and dust, combing through the terrain as swiftly as he possibly could. He wasn't optimistic. The herb was a rare one. Finding it here would border on absurd. Then his eyes snapped open.

"…You've got to be kidding me."

There it was. Nestled between two jagged rocks not far from the cave entrance, faintly glowing with a dull silver-green sheen. It was the exact herb he needed. Perfectly intact. As if it had been waiting.

Damon didn't waste a second. He bolted from the cave and reached it in moments, dropping to one knee and plucking it from the ground with careful fingers. The moment he did, low growls echoed from all directions as a pack of savage beasts emerged.

They never got close. Damon released a poison burst without even looking back. The air shimmered briefly. The beasts collapsed mid-lunge, bodies twitching once before going still. He was already turning away, sprinting back toward the cave, blood essence effortlessly flowing into him from the savage beasts.

Back inside the cave, he crushed the herb between his palms, reducing it into a thick, pungent paste. Without hesitation, he pressed it to the woman's lips and forced it down.

Her reaction was immediate. Her body arched violently, muscles locking as if the poison had suddenly doubled in strength. Her breath hitched. Veins darkened beneath her skin. Anyone watching would have thought he had just killed her.

But Damon didn't flinch. What he had done wasn't neutralize the poison. It was forcing it to surface. Stripping away its camouflage and breaking it down partially. Making it something he could fully see, fully grasp, fully control.

Seconds later, he inhaled sharply. He absorbed it cleanly, essence and all, and his body accepted it without resistance.

A new pattern locked into place. Just like that, it was his. He exhaled slowly and swept his hand across the woman's chest. The last remnants of toxic waste were drawn out, evaporating into nothingness. Color returned to her skin. Her breathing steadied.

"Faron…?" The woman's eyes fluttered open. "Faron…" she whispered again, voice shaking. "I am still here…" She pushed herself up with trembling arms, coughing weakly as tears spilled down her cheeks. "You did it… my love… You saved me…"

Damon was just about to correct her and ask her a few more questions when all of a sudden, his vision once again blackened, and his body felt the pull again. Before he could understand what was happening, he was once again back in the red sands, no storms around him this time around.
