The Imbecile Lord Is Married to Five Beautiful Goddess-Novel

Chapter 310:Loss Of Vitality

In the huge Fortress Of Gawaffin, unlike the usual hustle and bustle among the troops, the day was quite calm and peaceful to the point that even the soldiers were feeling a bit strange.

For the previous five days, they had been constantly fighting and were on alert all the time, as the number of undead was increasing day by day and their numbers were quite threatening.

The entire fortress was blocked by their huge number and they were cut off from all sides.

They couldn't even seek reinforcement or send a message to the capital.

All the guards were on high alert and had almost exhausted themselves dealing with the undead.

Fortunately, there was a Mythic rank among them who had fought actively and borough some time for others and they were lucky enough to fill the stacks and rations to the brim a few days ago.

Otherwise, without food, they would be in a mess.

The Monster Hunt of students was cancelled and under the Professor's instructions, they tried to support the troops actively.

The Students and Professor of Zenith provided some help but the relief was like dropping a glass of water in the vast ocean.

The area had been entirely cut off by the undead troops.

By the time of night, the undead seemed to be at their peak and we were unusually stronger.

It might be due to their number or some other reason, but fighting at night puts them in a difficult spot.

The struggle went on for five bitter days, leaving everyone in a state of panic and madness.

Their eyes had been red without a single wink of sleep and their body was full of scratches and bruises due to all their time-fighting.

All the equipment had been in a worn and torn state due to all-time fighting.

It was to the point that all legendary rank captains and commanders had to move but as the fifth day began and by the time morning came, the undead suddenly collapsed due to unknown reasons.

Although their numbers were quite high, their strength pummelled suddenly as if their energy supply had been cut off.

And at that time, a golden sparkle emerged which swept through the whole battlefield.

Hurt's appearance was like the rising sun that cleared the darkness giving hope to many.

His heroic entrance turned the tide.

Hurt himself was shocked by all the power Alex transferred to him.

The blessings and light elemental power were the nemeses of the undead and he felt that in this state he could take down the Mythic rank Arion.

The people from Zenith were dumbfounded seeing the true strength of Hurt.

The Professor had already guessed that Hurt hid his strength but they were bewildered to see him at legendary rank.

Unfortunately, after half an hour he was rendered helpless. Still, he had already done great damage to the other side.

Although Hurt explained that it was temporary and it was due to Alex's blessings, still everyone's eyes focused on him.

Hurt after getting everyone's respectful gaze sighed heavily after all he wasn't the one who should be praised but while the real hero might be currently engaging in a heaven-defying battle and the outcome of that was still unclear.

The efficiency of the sacrificial altar wasn't perfect and every time the power was transferred, some power would come out from the gateway and in contact with the environment would turn into a miasma that would turn the living into undead.

After doing his part, he found Riya and explained about Alex.

Hurt cleared the surroundings of the cave along with Riya.

And as both of them were taking care of things, Hurt felt a sudden fluctuation in the space and his lips curled upward.

"Miss Riya, it seems he is here."

Riya without wasting a second rushed towards the cave to find Alex with a pained expression and rushed to help him.

Hurt smiled bitterly seeing the young couple and thought that he should also find one otherwise he may die single in this life again.

Hurt, who had a relaxed expression, didn't know that the trouble was far from over.

....

Alex felt a soft pleasant sensation, spreading across his body.

He thought of getting up but his body was hell-bent on stopping him from getting up.

Alex took a deep breath and a familiar scent assaulted him.

Alex felt as if he was suddenly energized and with great difficulty, he opened his eyes.

As soon as Alex opened his eyes, he was greeted by a gorgeous lady with an elegant smile which could make a men's day.

He found himself sleeping in Riya's lap who was staring at him with an expression filled with sorrow and happiness.

Happiness because of his Lord's return and sorrow because she could feel that his Lord's condition wasn't good.

"You can go back to sleep, My Lord. It seems you have pushed yourself to the limit."

Alex smiled bitterly and shook his head while opening his lips to speak but he felt a fire spreading over his throat.

"Wa…Wa-Water!"

Riya hurriedly poured a glass of water and put it near Alex's lips.

Alex after taking a sip felt energy returning to his body a bit.

The first thing Alex did was to see his body and condition and check the status screen.

Alex's expression froze a little as he saw the status bar.

All his stats had gone down by 10-15 points but to his horror, he had lost almost 50 vitality points.

His vitality was over 150 and was now close to 100.

He knew that the consequence might be too harsh but this…

If he had used that power in Master or at Disciple, he was sure that he would have died.

"My Lord, what happened?" Riya asked worriedly.

"Haaaa!It's nothing."

"It's just that the battle was too hard and I missed you all."

Riya was unable to speak further and asked with a trembling voice" With whom did you fight?"
