Chapter 4036: Recovery I Hun! I felt relief as I killed her, but the very next moment. The crystal middle of her chest went crazy. Seeing that, my eyes turned serious, and a crystalline cylinder came out of my core, and I immediately put the body into it, before sending it back to my core. It's dangerous, but I have no choice. I am very weak. I couldn't deal with it. The cylinder appeared on the stone disk as it did. All the runes on it lit and began to absorb energies released from the hexagonal crystal. It is not absorbing, but pulling the energies out, not only from the crystal, but also from the body. The body had absorbed a massive amount of energy and was at the limit of breaking. If it did, it would explode with all the energy and that would be bad. The stone removes that possibility by absorbing the energies. Seeing that, I felt relieved, and the pearl appeared in my hand. A moment later, the door appeared, and I entered inside. I would have liked to set up the abode away from the battle, despite the stealth abilities of it, but I couldn't. The reason I am still standing is that I am burning the blood. The moment I stopped; I will be weak as a chicken. That even Sovereign would be able to kill me without much struggle. Step! I appeared in the practice room instead of the living room. As I did, a big round tub appeared in front of me. It had dense brown liquid and green leaves with purple veins floating a top of it. The whole tub is covered in dense runes. My clones had prepared for it, the moment I burned my blood. I had kept all things ready, in case I ever need. They just need to mix it. It didn't take them more than a minute to read it. Blop! I didn't waste even a second and jumped into the pool, before deactivating my armor and removing my clothes. I took a deep breath and stopped burning the blood. Immediately, tremendous weakness enveloped me. So, powerful, that I could barely twitch. If someone can breach the abode. I will be chicken in front of them. I pushed those thoughts and let myself fall asleep. Sleeping would help me recover fast. So, I did, and with the tiredness; I was feeling. I fell asleep within seconds. When I woke up, it was thirteen hours later. I am still in the tub of brown liquid with every inch of me covered in the runes. They are helping me recover my vitality as the formation inside my core. I am feeling much better than I had been thirteen hours ago, but in no condition to fight any battle. I am so weak, that even the weakest Sky Sovereign here would be able to kill me with a single attack. I had burned too much of the life force, it will take some time to recover from that. If people were to see me now, they would be shocked. I recovered extremely fast, given the amount of life force I had burned. It's not easy to recover, especially for the Sky Sovereign. It's hard for Sky Sovereign to recover their vitality fast. Without resources and proper methods and months and even years, if they burned as much vitality as mine. The resources, I used to be rare enough that will make even Prime envy. I do not skim on recovery. Resources, I could get, but I could not once it had lost. I used the best resources. I needed to recover as fast as I could. The sooner, I recover; the sooner, I will feel the guarantee of my safety. I looked at runes and solutions, before closing my eyes. A moment later, I appeared in front of my meta-scan. It shows a clear state of my body, which is bad. Because of the loss of life force, even my powerful healing power had weakened. So much, that it wasn't able to heal all the injuries I had suffered in battle against Hayat. I looked at every detail and was satisfied with the work of my clones in managing my recovery. They had done their best. A few minutes later, I finished and appeared beside the dead body of Hayat. Even after thirteen hours, the energies are still getting pulled out of it. It is not silvery grey energies, but deep red ones. This is a life-force, that couldn't be absorbed by Hayat. It is from thousands of people, she had consumed. Yes, that would be the right word. She consumed the people. My clones were able to find out a lot of things. Including the number of people she consumed. It is in the thousands. It's quite easy to find out. This dark red energy contains the signature of the people she consumed and seeing every life signature is different, I will see a number of them to get the number of people she had consumed. I am glad. I didn't accept her offer. If she had survived, she would have killed thousands more. Looking at the data in front of me. It's clear, she was no cultist, but worse than most cultists. She is alone at her work. She had designed her inheritance to consume people, with the crystal as the center of it. My clone is scouring through the library to find out what it is. It's quite close, narrowing down the search to four types of crystal. If it turned out to be any four of them. Its value would be greater than the three halnx liquid bottles I had got from the castle. I am not surprised. The crystal is needed to that good to support what she was doing. Normal crystals cannot absorb, sort, and refine the energies from one to such a degree. It needs to be something as amazing as this one. She is really lucky to get this type of resource. If she had thought wisely, she would use it for other things. She was clearly intelligent. Not anyone could create a sophisticated inheritance like her, but she didn't use that intelligence wisely. She wanted a quick progress and taken a forbidden path. If she had walked through the conventional path. It might have taken longer, but she would have reached the Prime with her talent and intelligence.
