Chapter 312: A Deal to Be Made (3)

I woke up some time in the middle of the night. My entire body ached as I lay on my back on a soft bed. I took a few deep breaths, gauging how painful moving would be.

The process of restoring my powers was not what I expected it to be. Not even close. I had prepared myself for some pain, but…

Just remembering made me shudder. I didn't know how long the process took, but I did remember collapsing at the end of it, and the Demon Lord catching me before I lost consciousness. How much time had passed since then? 

I glanced to the side, through the windows. Only the glitter of the distant stars was visible in the sky. There was no trace of sunlight to be seen. I hesitated for a while, then closed my eyes. If it was still the same night, then we would leave for war tomorrow. I needed as much rest as I could get.
