Noah felt the change move through his body like a wave.
The aching in his muscles didn't disappear entirely, the heaviness in his limbs lightened.
His breathing steadied, and the strength that had been draining out of him through the fight started returning in a slow but steady flow.
His stamina was coming back.
He knew exactly who had done it.
'It was done by Lyria. thanks'
He didn't look back to confirm it. He just took what she had given him and used it.
He kicked off the ground.
The distance between him and Marbas closed in seconds, Noah driving forward with everything the boost had returned to him, spear leveled and ice already forming along the shaft.
Marbas saw him coming.
His smile widened despite the blood and the damage and the missing arm. Despite all of it, that dangerous composure he had was still there on his face.
"You think you can kill me?" His voice was heavy, the exhaustion in it undeniable now.
"Dream on, boy." He was not bothered by Noah.
