With the disappearance of the Daiyu family and Jade, the square now held an eerie quiet. It seemed the only sounds that could be heard were Dyon's wheezing breaths and ragged coughing.
Ri sat on her knees, propping Dyon up as they sat on a floating blue array. There was a tinge of worry in her eyes as she felt Dyon erratic heartbeat. It looked as though he had lost half his body weight, a mere shell of his former self.
Ri sighed. "You overdrew on your soul… without energy cultivation to help rejuvenate you, it's hard to sustain yourself after drawn out battles… you're such an idiot," she muttered.
Yet, despite her words, she lay Dyon's head against her chest, slowly circulating an ice purity will to help alleviate his pain.
What Ri had said was true. Unlike with energy cultivating, the soul and the body couldn't easily draw on outside sources to replenish themselves. If you depleted your essence energy, you could simply take out an energy stone to replenish yourself.
