Chapter 358: Research (2/2)

But the recovery rate of the vitality is something that astonished him.

After healing the wounds, the vitality reservoir only took half-an-hour to be full again, but in this time, the spiritual energy was not being absorbed by the muscles, it was completely converted to vitality to fill the reservoir back.

Sam wanted to test the limits of healing and he started making various degrees of injuries.

After another half-an-hour, he came to a conclusion that as long as it is a non-vital fleshly wound, the healing is almost instantaneous.

After that, he took out a sword and severed arm of the first follower.

The arm didn't grow back. The stump of the arm healed, but there are not any signs of regrowth of the arm.

He observed the whole process and noticed that the vitality is restricted to heal the whole arm and he felt that there are two reasons.

One of them is that there is no guidance for the vitality to heal the arm. To regrow an arm, it is not just the simulation of the vitality that is needed, there is a need for guiding the vitality in such a way that the cells would grow in a certain way so that the arm will be restructured, here there is a lot of vitality, but there is no guidance to restructure the arm.

Sam checked the theory by severing half of the arm on other side and only severing the wrist for another follower and after that only a finger.

The final conclusion is no matter how small the permanent separation is, it is impossible for them to restructure a severed part of the body.

Now, Sam learned of all the peculiarities and the reasons for those peculiarities within the bodies and now it is time for him to think of something to counter them.

Before that, Sam tried to look into the pills that made these people like that. He wanted to see what are the ingredients but it is not easy to deconstruct the pills and see what those ingredients are.

He tried all kinds of experiments, but was only able to find around two ingredients and those two happened to be the blood of two different beasts.

One of them is a Illusion Snake. Everything regarding this snake and its body is related to illusion, hypnotism and brain washing.

The second one is the blood from a special part of another beast called Black shelled turtle. This sea turtle has extreme amount of vitalities and they live the longest on this planet.

Although, Sam found these ingredients and can relate them to some of the peculiarities in the bodies of the followers, there is no way for him to directly use them to counter them.

But there are still other ways. First thing, Sam did is try to heal one of the followers whose arm was severed. From what he understood, the lack of guidance to the vitality is the only thing that is making it impossible for them to regenerate the arm, so he wanted to see if he can provide the guidance.

But as soon as he started healing, the vitality his light elemental energy generated was being repelled by the rest of the vitality. It is like two fluids not mixing together due to density difference.

What surprised him even more is that the reaction of vitality, it is extremely turbulent and even sentient. It is like a wholly different entity staying within the follower's body.

It is more like a parasite residing in a host and this gave him some ideas.

Sam felt like they could make use of this thing.

He started conducting various experiments to see what this weird behaviour of the vitality is all about and found some details which he ignored before.

The Vitality is not just immense in amount, rather it is dense to the point of visibility. The vitality healing them is also not exactly a part of privilege, it is more like a side effect.

The vitality which is behaving like a parasite is healing the person just because, it wanted to protect the host.

After some time, Sam wanted to confirm one more thing and he killed one of the followers right there on the table.

All this time, he placed his hand and kept his observation ability on full limit.

The lump of the vitality started jumping left and right, it slowly escaped the body and started dancing wildly in the air.

As Sam watched the vitality mass jump around, it reached the nearest follower and started merging with the vitality that is already present in that person.
