Kapitel 206: Ice Devil

Ryu's mind re-entered his body. To the outside world, he seemed to be silently meditating, and since the crystalline jade was within his pupil's inner world, he didn't have to bring it out to enter either. No one would ever guess the kind of benefits he had just gained.

'I need a bit to fuse what my mind understands with my body, but it shouldn't take more than a few moments.'

Ryu's gaze turned to the once sleeping Ailsa. It seemed she had woken him up. When his senses turned toward the entrance of his ice cave, he realized that it was because Granny Miriam's younger sister Melody had come.

Reaching the entrance and activating the formation mechanism to slide the ice-stone slab open, Ryu greeted Melody and allowed her to enter. Seeing the panicked look in her eye, he understood that she must have heard what happened.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm just fine. After a few more days, it'll be like nothing happened at all. Don't worry about it."
