Under Henry's treatment, Ethan's injuries healed in no time.
He hadn't suffered any serious damage. The acid in the whale's stomach had eaten away a lot of his flesh, but the wounds were mostly superficial. With Henry around, they were easily dealt with.
Ethan took out the crystal cores he had collected that day, along with the remaining half of the tuna carcass, and sent the fish to the kitchen.
The day had been rough, but the haul was worth it.
Including the five crystal cores they had collected on land, they had obtained fourteen in total. More importantly, Ethan now had a Tier 44 crystal core. It should be enough to raise him to Tier 43.
It might only be a single Tier, but that one-Tier increase would give him the power to kill Tier 44 opponents. With the Deadlock Dimension and the others supporting him, he might even be able to take on a Tier 46.
That gave them far more room for error.
