Chapter 744
"Quylla saved your life by forcing you to rest for one more day . If this happened yesterday, your life force would have shattered . Now, instead, it's stronger than ever . " Solus said, observing with Invigoration how the boundaries between Lith's mana core, body, and life force had become thinner .
The two different kinds of energy now flowed through his veins along with his blood, making him different from normal humans .
"I know . " Lith stuttered . "Solus, promise me that no matter what, you'll wake me up for dinner . "
"Yeah, sure . What could the changes in your body possibly matter compared to a night of wild, steamy, hot sex with your girlfriend? By the way, I take back what I said yesterday .
"I'll stay here in Lutia while you have fun . There's no reason for me to…"
"I'm hungry . " He cut her short before fainting .
"Oh, yes . There's that too . " Solus said while carrying Lith on his bed with spirit magic . She had developed the nutrients potion exactly for that kind of situation, where Invigoration couldn't help Lith, and feeding him the old-fashioned way was impossible .
They tasted like crap and smelled almost as badly, but it was much easier administering them to an unconscious man rather than feeding him a full course meal . Solus's mouth almost fell to the ground when she noticed that Lith was absorbing the potions like a dry sponge water .
"Dammit! The mana geyser is boosting his metabolism to the point that if I don't keep the nutrients coming, by the time Lith wakes up he'll look like a monk after a month of fasting . "
Invigoration could do nothing to help Lith recover faster and even if it could, Solus wouldn't have used it . She hoped that the changes both of his life forces had experienced could heal the crack that cursed Lith to a shorter lifespan or at least get rid of Death Vision .
It wasn't a skill so much as a curse that made his life miserable and constantly drained his focus just to keep the visions at bay . Only when he was alone with Solus inside the tower, could he relax without worries .
That, or when he was alone with Phloria .
'It really irks me to no end that I'll never know if it's just because I'm seemingly immortal or because Lith has feelings for me as deep as he has for her . Right now, even the members of his family suffer from Death Vision if they are further away than three meters .
'He never allowed himself to see if things work the same for Kamila as they do for everyone else he loves or if she's an outlier like Phloria . I guess it would mean a lot and Lith doesn't want to second-guess their relationship . ' Solus thought .
She remained by Lith's side until his condition stabilized, feeding him potions and checking on his life force from time to time with the Scanner spell . Yet the cracks remained and even though his body brimmed with vigor, the amount of life force Lith had remained unchanged .
Solus sighed, saying goodbye to her broken dream before using both Invigoration and mana sense on Lith . Now both his liver and kidneys were capable of detoxifying most harmful substances as if they were a tier two cleansing spell .
With each regular breath Lith took, his lungs drew bigger amounts of world energy than before, filling his chest with mana that his heart would pump through his whole body along with thin streams of life force that enhanced his recovery abilities .
