"Sir, please leave my family!"
"Sir, forgive them!"
The two teenagers fell on the ground and prostrated before Mel, Bonbi crying with his parents in danger. They just stood there, the seconds ticking, but they didn't look up at Mel. The screams of the two adult Physical Cultivators did not cease, as they were only trying to withstand the pain of the Elemental Energy being drawn from their bodies.
Unlike them, Mel seemed relaxed compared to previous Elemental Energy absorptions; Except for a few veins that appeared on his forehead, he didn't show any bodily reaction. Was it because of the shopkeepers' insufficient Elemental Energies, or was Mel's body getting used to this process more and more?
"Sir, we are all Physical Cultivators. Please forgive my family!"
