Chapter 1454 - Grievances (1) (1/2)
Dyon started awake, sitting up so quickly that the felt a wave of nausea. His eyes blinked, adjusting to the bright lights that surrounded him.
'Dammit.' Dyon panicked slightly. He couldn't remember exactly what happened, but he knew that him losing consciousness was not a good thing. For one there was the beast babies he was supposed to be monitoring. Although they were gone now, he still saw them as his little siblings. Then there was the promise he made to the Flaming Lily Sect disciples. Even though he didn't care about them to the same extent he did his beast companions, that didn't mean he felt okay leaving them high and dry.
Looking around, Dyon finally realized what the bright light that was forcing him to squint was. It turned out that he was still in the silver mountain and the oddly shaped rainbow rock was shining just as much as before.
”You shouldn't sit up so quickly.” A soft and sweet voice filled with worry came from Dyon's side. It didn't take him very long to realize that it came from Madeleine.
Dyon shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut in hopes of wishing away his blurred vision. ”How long was I asleep?”
”Not that long. Just two days. Your body recovers very quickly.” Madeleine looked down, a bit ashamed. She had tried to use her flame's life characteristic on Dyon, but she found out very quickly that it was too weak to be of use. Dyon relied on his own vitality to heal himself, while she only helped by making his sleep a bit more comfortable.
Feeling Madeleine's sadness, Dyon reached out and grabbed her hand. ”It's not your fault, even I can't heal my body alone properly. I was relying on this special energy I found before, but I ran out of it a long time ago…”
”Special energy?” Madeleine asked in curiosity.
”Mm. When I was awakening my constitutions, I was lucky enough to choose the constitution that was originally stolen from me at birth, so I connected to its world quicker than normal. There I…” Dyon coughed, suddenly feeling very embarrassed.
Madeleine had been there when he came back out half dead and covered in beast dung, but he never actually explained what happened. As expected, Madeleine fell into a fit of giggles after practically squeezing the story out of Dyon.
”I've read books on these special energies…” Madeleine said after a few moments. ”I hear that there's a branch of Magic that focuses on tapping back into these ancient energies. They believe that their secrets are still hidden within our meridians and that conventional energy is just an amalgamation of those energies coalesced into one. However, I haven't had much time to study Magic. Still, no one has really succeeded on the Magic side of things, but there's been some progress on the Curse side.”
