Chapter 1667 For the rest of my life? Heh. "What do you want to know?" Eisheth questioned, giving in to her daughter's demands. "How are you preventing your body from acting up? You should be constantly craving sex right now to the point where your body shouldn't even be in a state to function right now. More than 30 years have passed, so for someone who has been giving into your body's urges for a few thousand years now, even your organs should have collapsed right now. Let alone walking freely like you are doing right now, even surviving should be next to impossible, Then how are you holding on? How are you able to hold yourself to the point where even someone like me, who had experienced the same thing before, was unable to see through the truth and had to test it out to make sure?" "Turns out it isn't that hard if you try it." Eisheth chuckled. "What are you talking about? Your body shouldn't be functioning anymore." "If you constantly use Mana to force your organs to work like they should, it isn't hard for the body to hold on." "What…?" Aisha was horrified. Using Mana to force them to work…? Of course, Aisha had thought of such a method before, in the illusion, this was one of the first few methods she had come up with to force her body to not collapse. And inside the Illusion, it was Eisheth herself who told her how ridiculous of a plan it was. It was no different than using a Car's engine without oil, soon, there would be no car left! What Eisheth was doing was no different, she would permanently damage her organs and her body! She would literally collapse! And as if knowing what her daughter was thinking, Eisheth chuckled, "The Elven Healing Magic is quite strong." "…" Aisha's body trembled in horror. This woman… She was using Mana to force her body to function… Then she was using Elves to heal her damaged body… "You… have you lost your mind…?" Aisha questioned. Yes, Elven Magic was strong. But one couldn't just abuse it. It was similar to how one couldn't just use Elven Magic to 'heal' their fatigue and go back to doing what they were doing, yes, it can be done a few times, but after some time, your body starts forming resisting against the constant healing, making it more and more difficult to heal and return to the peak condition. This was also the reason why the crazy warriors like Vyriana and Astaria didn't just abuse elves to constantly relieve their fatigue and took rest when their bodies demanded it. After all, the body developing resistance to any form of healing wasn't a good sign. Even if Eisheth had the best elves to help her get through her condition, it wouldn't help her in any way and would only deteriorate her condition even further, not to mention the torturous cravings would continue to increase. Of course, there wasn't much one's body could even do after the organs literally stopped working and were being forced by Mana to work, so Eisheth had pretty much reached a state where things couldn't get any worse, but what if… What if her body just collapses? Yes, Divines do not die till they reach 10,000… but to abuse one's body to this extent, and that too for 30 whole years… "As I said, it isn't that hard. Do you see me struggling?" Eisheth, obviously, didn't wish to worry her daughter and replied with a calm, assuring look on her face, something Aisha didn't like one bit. "You collapsed right in front of me, Mother." Aisha replied. Getting more and more annoyed at the situation. "That's because you took me by surprise." "No, it happened because you were trying to hide it and collapsed when you were taken by surprise, acting strong in front of me won't alleviate your suffering." Aisha was quick to correct her mother. "…" Eisheth stared at her daughter in silence. "Why are you doing this?" "Hmm? Didn't you do the same thing?" "I did it inside the Trial!" "That doesn't change anything." "It changes everything. The Trial allows you to grow, it allows you to adapt, if you persist long enough, the trial will allow you to change, The Trials were created for one to become a better version of themselves. I was able to change because the Trial allowed me to, it helped me get through the torture and my body overcame the constant craving it felt, allowing me to function normally after a certain period of time. But the reality isn't the same, mother. The same will not happen in your case. Your body will continue to suffer and the result after all this ends won't be your body adapting to the change, Your body will collapse. You can die." Aisha warned, her voice was heavy, it was clear how difficult it was to say these words to her mother. Yes, the woman could massacre countless, anyone could die and she wouldn't care less but… When it comes to her mother… She was one woman Aisha couldn't lose. She was too attached to her mother for her to simply let her go. "…" Eisheth remained silent. "I would prefer if you did the same in the Trials. If you had spent the next 30 years inside a Trial, it would have been much better. Rislith is already taking care of the State, isn't she? Why are you doing this?" "So instead of me going through the torture for 30 years, you want me to go through it for my entire life, for more than 7000 years?" Eisheth questioned back. "It is not 30 years." Aisha spoke as she bit her lips. "You should already somewhat know the situation if you are here, Nux might not return anytime soon, Too many things happened in a short while, We do not know when things would return to normal but it would take a long time, even centuries, if we are especially unfortunate. So rather than torturing yourself for centuries and dying because your body wasn't able to handle the abuse, I would rather you torture yourself for thousands of years and return much stronger than before." "You are quite heartless, little girl." "I just do not wish to lose people I love." "Lady Lilith came to me." Eisheth suddenly revealed. It was such a random piece of information that Aisha was momentarily taken aback, however, when she realized what her mother just said, "What?" She was surprised, blinking a few times to register her words in her head. "Why?" She changed her question. "She wanted to give me Primordial Blood." "…what?" "Even a Saint Level Blood would solve all my problems, but she insisted on giving me Primordial level blood, she even said that she would have given me her own Blood, but she said that she promised to give it to either you or Allura." "She is still holding onto that huh…" "She was acting strange, it was my first time meeting her but I could sense that she trying to make up to someone through me. I didn't know the whole story, but I was sure I could take advantage of the situation." Eisheth then glanced at her daughter and, "Do you know why I didn't do it?" Aisha looked into her mother's eyes, waiting for her answer. Once again, despite being much stronger than Eisheth, Aisha still felt like a child, waiting for her to answer and satiate her curiosity. Despite coming this far, the dynamic between the two of them didn't change one bit. Eisheth chuckled when she saw the look in her daughter's eyes, then, not wanting to make her wait any longer, she answered, "It would have been an easier way out." "What…?" Aisha was shocked. "Nux knew he would be leaving for a few years, yet he still made a move on me, claiming me to be his, making me feel something I never felt before, then, He left. It was as if he was telling me that if I wanted more, I needed to do what he wanted. Clearly, continuing with my daily life wasn't the answer. That bastard wanted me to change, he didn't just want me to not have sex with others, if his goal was just that, he himself would have given me a stronger blood. It would have solved everything, but he didn't do it. He wanted me to do everything on my own for his sake, He wanted me to chase him. Tsk, He is one arrogant man." Eisheth snorted. Then, a smile appeared on her face and, "Of course, I am quite arrogant myself, So if he wants to play this game, I'll entertain him." Aisha, who realized what this crazy hag was trying to do, widened her eyes in disbelief. "You… You are going to rub this on him in the future for the rest of your life, aren't you?" Hearing those words, Eisheth's smile widened, "For the rest of my life? Heh. I wonder what it was that he often said… Right, I remember now, I am going to rub this on him for the Eternity."
