Looking at Edin, who returned to the basement with the night owl, and the Puki surrounding him, Nova felt as if an invisible hand had clenched his heart tightly, an indescribable sourness and regret surging within him.
"So... I used it too soon?" The tone of this capable captain rarely carried a trace of tearfulness.
The night owl wiped the bloodstains off her face, showing a hint of sympathy, and nodded lightly.
She raised the wood core in front of Nova's eyes and tentatively asked, "Well... can it be replenished?"
Nova bitterly smiled and shook his head. Where is it so easy?
The life force he sacrificed entered the night owl's body but did not transform into her lifespan; it merely fully restored her physical state.
Even if the night owl now used the same method to give back, it could only improve his current weakness, with no benefit to the life force that had already slipped away.
Instead, Gall needed to supplement this state more.
