Chapter 731
Only Lith's exhaustion saved them from a long, awkward silence . Due to the constant fighting and use of Invigoration, he had lost all of his body fat along with part of his bone and muscle density .
Lith fell asleep the moment he closed his eyes to sniff Kamila's hair, giving his metabolism the opportunity to fix all the damages he had sustained .
Thanks to all the nutrients he had ingested during dinner and Lith's ability to assimilate world energy, his body was rebuilt from its foundations, pushing the impurities within it away from the new tissues and closer to his mana core .

Lith spent the next two days doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and using Accumulation . His enhanced metabolism sped up his recovery, making him regain weight at an astounding rate, but that came with a price .
Healing and evolving required a huge amount of energy that Lith decided to take only through conventional means . His choice was based not only on the fact that his recovery speed was already unnatural, but also because in his condition, using Invigoration would do him more harm than good .
Despite all of Quylla's and Lith's treatments, his life force was still unstable . Forcefully injecting a strength that his body might not have been able to handle yet was as risky as it was pointless .
Aside from the headaches Lith got by standing so close to Kamila and yet being forced to keep his hands in his pockets, there were no threats in the Ernas household . Also, he had noticed his impurities moving and by using Accumulation instead of Invigoration he could exploit that opportunity .
His entire body was being flooded by world energy, rebuilding itself stronger and denser than before . Using Accumulation allowed him to speed up the natural process of moving the impurities towards his core so that he would experience the next breakthrough the moment his body was ready for it .
It was a win-win situation for him which allowed Lith to strengthen both his body and mana core at once . Also, it gave him the time to assess his loot from Kulah . He still had in his pocket dimension Rizo's Eternal Blade, the bead that activated the God's Will array, but more importantly, the books he had found in the lab's safe .
The Ernas Household was one of the most ancient and powerful magical bloodlines of the Griffon Kingdom . Their library could easily compare with that of any academy, covering almost all topics known to mankind .
It also contained several books about lost languages and all the dictionaries Lith needed to make heads or tails of his possessions . Or better, Solus did and he just reaped the fruits of her endeavor .
They were both overjoyed discovering that one of the books was a detailed explanation of the Body-Swapping technique, of which the Life Merging process was just an incredibly hard and mana expensive variation .
'Building the necessary equipment might take a lot of time and resources since I don't recognize half the ingredients listed in here, but this is a great start!' Solus had devoted her whole time since they had gotten back to checking Lith's condition and translating the book about body swapping .
'Agreed, also, we might not even need all of them . The Odi were stuck with tier three magic in all fields but light magic and forgemastering, whereas we can use all tiers of true magic . ' For once Lith shared her enthusiasm .
Not even he could find a sour note in such a discovery . Sure, there was no certainty that it would work, nor that they would manage to understand the underlying mechanism of the process, but it was a start . More than they had ever had .
'I'm so happy to have you back Solus . ' Lith was brimming with joy like it didn't happen since the day he had healed Tista from her congenital disease . 'When I thought I had lost you, I almost went insane .
