Regis, where are you? I asked

‘I got Daria and used the guardian’s tail to get down to the ground, but I don’t think I canon ReadNovelFullonlinecoate so wouldn’t work

There was no other choice but to use the aetheric bea it to counter thethe force of the blast h so that the i it could also is wasn’t close enough to get here in ti my mind, I focused on the aether art

It see since she clung to hter

My aether reserves had somewhat increased since my first two attempts at the aetheric bea in such a dangerous zone, I had no opportunities to test the attack again

Letting out a deep breath that got lost in the wind, I concentrated amy arms, shoulders, chest and spine so that my body could withstand the burden

I could see the rune-like h round, shoulder-width apart, as we pluround, I waited until I was close enough

Finally, just fifty feet above the ground, I unleashed the aetheric beam

A deep roar resounded as the torrent of violet flaround I immediately felt my arms, shoulders and back protest but I held firm

The platform that had first allowed me to unlock this ability had naturally forced out the aether froer impacted by that effect, the control I had over how ers forced the aetheric blast to re out Even with thened by aether, I knew that un to fracture andpace

Still, I could feel us slowing down, and it was only as I began decreasing the output of aether and the noise that it caused grew quieter that I realized Caera was screa as she held onto me like a baby koala

“Brace yourself for i sure that I’d be the one to land first as we crashed into the ground while cladding both of us in as much aether I could afford

By the time I ca by the clouds, dirt and dust still rising from the crater I had impacted

My body felt like it had been ripped apart, seared back together, and then ripped apart again, no one part hurting more than the other It took all of ain, but at least Caera had fared better

She was still unconscious but she had been able to use the rest of her mana to protect her body from fatal harm

“Arthur!” a husky voice growled fro on his back

“Regis,” I gurgled before coughing out a asped as she unis “Merciful Vritra, how is he still alive?”

The two of theis and I could do anything, Daria had forainst my mouth

“Drink this,” Daria said as she leaned in closer and raised my head “An emblem instiller made this It uses the mana in your body to heal your wounds”

“Can’t,” I ed to choke out “Won’t…work”

Her thin brows furrowed in confusion before a look of realization washed over her “Oh, you can’t”

Relieved that she understood, is, I need so to be able to—

My thoughts were interrupted by a soft sensation pressing against my lips before a lukewarm liquid entered ainst mine, her eyes shut and cheeks red

Without the strength to even lift my arms at this point and my attempts to twist my face away futile as she held my head in place, I was forced to shatever contents were in that vial

Bursts of pain exploded with each cough that I forced out “Y-You…the vial wouldn’t…”

“Asto explain, it wasn’t that he couldn’t drink the elixir that you so generously is explained with an annoyingly amused expression

Daria remained befuddled as I shot the black and purple wolf the rin remained plastered on his canine y spread fro

‘You get a free kiss along with is snickered

Bite ood to be annoyed by hiis, I was able to recover enough to get back on my feet just as the earth shook once is sent, his voice weak

Rest up, buddy, I said, just barely lance down at Caera—whose injuries had gotten much better after Daria fed her another elixir—I reached down

Unclasping the buckle that held the leather sheath and dagger by her waist, I strapped it on before clie of the crater “Keep her safe I have sooing?” Daria asked “You’re not thinking of actually fighting that thing, right?”

“No,” I responded “I’ it”
