Kallu, reappearing from the shadows, rushed to Princess Moon's side. He extended his hand to help her rise, his concern evident in his eyes. Princess Moon weakened but determined, managed a faint smile as she accepted his support.
Meanwhile, Su Lin also approached the two of them. She carried a pouch filled with special medicinal pills given by her master. Those pills were known for their potent healing properties. Su Lin knelt beside Princess Moon, assessing her injuries with a keen eye.
Su Lin spoke gently, "Princess, these pills are infused with rare herbs and energy-boosting elixirs. They'll heal your injuries and replenish your strength. Please take them."
Princess Moon nodded gratefully, and Su Lin handed her the pills. With a swift, practiced motion, Princess Moon consumed the pills. Almost immediately, the magical properties of the pills went to work, mending her wounds and infusing her with renewed vitality.
As the healing energy coursed through her, Princess Moon's aura, which had gone dim, started to glow again. The exhaustion that weighed her down gradually lifted, and she stood on her own, regaining her strength.
Kallu, relieved to see her recovering, asked, "Are you alright, Princess?"
Princess Moon nodded, gratitude in her eyes. "Thanks to both of you. Kallu, your help was invaluable. And Su Lin, your medicinal pills are truly remarkable."
Su Lin humbly nodded and said, "You are my close friend or almost like a sister to me, no need to thank me, Princess. I'm glad to see you recovering."
Kallu got embarrassed and said, "I did nothing. I was even not able to break that barrier. If I was able to break it, then my help would truly be invaluable."
Princess Moon shook her head and said, "If you hadn't arrived at the right time back then, I would have become the food of that spiritual serpent. Then, how would I be able to defeat Kadin?"
Kallu was feeling good when he heard all this but suddenly he remembered something and asked" Princess are you still able to use your royal blood power?"
Princess Moon said with a bitter smile " No. I can't use my royal blood power anymore because I completely exhausted it when I used that giant golden ball through the giant sparrow"
Then Kallu asked again, "What about your hidden strength? You were burning that as well."
Princess Moon replied, "Don't worry about that. I can still use my hidden strength, and burning it also didn't affect my future potential."
Kallu responded, "Good to hear that."
Su Lin was surprised to hear all this. She was initially sad, thinking that Princess Moon would never be able to use her royal blood power again. However, she was also happy for Princess Moon, knowing that she could still use her hidden strength which was her main strength, and burning it that much didn't affect her future potential.
As they conversed, they heard a terrifying roar that came from Karishma. She had gone mad with grief and anger after sensing that Kadin, her only child, had died. In her maddened state, Karishma's strength increased tremendously.
Consumed by the desire for revenge, Karishma transformed into a massive fiery phoenix that was equal parts beauty and destruction. The phoenix let out a cry that shook the heavens as it appeared in a violent eruption of flames.
Xiao Chen, ever the valiant warrior, countered by transforming into his wind type beast - a majestic blue hawk with a wingspan as vast as the clouds. However, the phoenix was the embodiment of Karishma's unchecked wrath. It bathed the blue hawk in a sea of fire, swiftly overwhelming Xiao Chen's transformation.
Unable to withstand the phoenix's scorching inferno, the blue hawk cried out in agony before disintegrating into ashes and Xiao Chen again came into view. The force of the dissipating transformed form caused a harsh backlash that slammed into Xiao Chen. He spat out a mouthful of blood as the impact wracked his body with pain.
Now unmatched in the sky, the fiery phoenix let out another shriek and turned its blazing eyes toward Princess Moon and the others. It was clear Karishma had lost her mind in her anguish over Kadin's demise. Driven solely by the urge to avenge her fallen son, Karishma in her phoenix form rushed toward Princess Moon with a massive killing intent.
