Kapitel 164: Another One (2)

As Vitaliara absorbed the vitality of the forest, the once radiant glow of Tiax—the Nyxalith symbolizing life—began to fade. The energy that once emanated from the creature started to dim, its vibrant scales losing their luster. The once-glorious light within Tiax flickered as it slowly gave up its life force, willingly offering it for Vitaliara's recovery. The flowers and plants around the lakeside, which had blossomed under Tiax's influence, began to wither slightly as their energy was drawn into Vitaliara.

Lucavion, meanwhile, focused intensely on his own task. He could feel the surge of death energy flooding his body, pouring into his core with overwhelming force. His [Flame of Equinox] mana technique activated, beginning to circulate the dense death energy throughout his body. As it did, the flame within him burned brighter, but the sheer volume of death energy was far greater than the life energy Vitaliara was taking in.
