350 Waking up (2/2)

Krune's conscience immediately came back. That was indeed a very effective and painful way of waking up.

”Why did you do that?!”

Light Spirit snorted and said.

”I don't have time to babysit you all day. Now that you woke up, take care of yourself. Because of you, I had to use a lot of my energy, and I will need to rest for a while. Don't expect me to come out anytime soon to save your ass. Oh, wait! You don't have an ass in your Wisp Form. Oh well, whatever. We will talk again later.”

Krune was taken aback by all of that, and he started to recover his memories of what happened. But it was then that an intense pain assaulted his soul.

”This thing hurt like hell! Did Ian really cultivate like this all the way to the Divine Soul Realm? He was crazy!”

Feifei and Joiu noticed that Krune's Wisp Ethereal body started to grow once again, although it was still quite dim. A few moments later, Krune's overall consciousness reached the outside world as well.

When he looked around, he was surprised to see Ricarte and his group there.

”What happened?”

Feifei started to cry again and embraced Krune's Wisp Core tightly!

”Ouch, ouch, ouch! Too strong, too strong! You are going to break me!”

Feifei got frightened by those words and immediately released Krune after that.

Still, she was fuming at the moment.

”What the hell were you thinking back there? What if your friend didn't help us in the end? Instead of only one of us dying, it would be two instead! What would be the point in that? Are you perhaps one of those who thinks that following the other in death is the right thing to do?”

Joiu heard that and glanced at Feifei.

'Wasn't you who ignored the Skeleton Dragon right in front and kept walking in Darten's direction? You were basically doing exactly the same thing, you know?'

Of course, Joiu didn't let those words leave his mouth.

Krune was taken aback for a moment, but then answered resolutely.

”Sorry, but I would still do the same thing if that happened again.”

Ricarte looked at that scene and then asked.

”Cough, cough. Should we leave the room for a while?”

Feifei immediately got embarrassed and shook her head.

”N-No need!”

Feifei wiped her tears and then took a deep breath.

”I'm okay now.”

Krune then looked at everyone.

”Well, can you guys tell me what happened after I got knocked out by Uer? How come Ricarte is here as well?”

Joiu nodded and then started to explain.

”Well, it goes like this...”

Krune then heard everything that happened, and how Light Spirit had come out to deal with everything in a flash. But one thing was weird, they said that Light Spirit put something in Ricarte and the others to prevent them from trying anything funny. But as far as he can fell, there is nothing inside them at all! Of course, Krune only needed a second to understand what Light Spirit did.

'I see... it is good that they believe that they are being held by a tread. When this is over, I will tell then the truth.'

”Alright, I understand the situation now. Give me some time first.”

Krune then started to look at his Wisp Core damage. In the end, it turned out worse than he thought.

'I wonder how I didn't break apart yet. Spiritual Energy is leaking like a fountain. The energy inside is completely chaotic too. I can only try the shell Repairing pill at the moment.'

Krune then took out his pill and used his Elemental Meridians to absorb its properties. At the same time, he took a lot of Spiritual Stones out since his pills needed them.

The repairing process then started, and the cracks on his Wisp Core started to mend. However, there was a problem.

”The damage was a lot higher than I thought. My Shell Repairing Pill isn't strong enough to mend the biggest cracks. I guess I will need to concoct a stronger pill later. For now, I will close up the small ones to reduce the Spiritual Energy Leakage and stabilize the energy in my Foundation.”
