章 1017: 1017. Calling

"No more rune absorption until you learn how to be alive again," Noah said as he scolded the sour Skully, who was evaluating her injuries.

Most of her cuts came from when she had forcefully removed the dark matter inside her. However, there were some deep wounds that she couldn't link to that event.

The memories from when she had lost control of herself were slowly coming back, but they returned in the form of intense sensations that her hybrid brain turned into confused images.

There was something that she couldn't explain. Skully only recalled a fiendish figure and a tall winged snake when it came to her other injuries, which meant that Noah had managed to suppress her on his own!

That wouldn't be so surprising if he relied on his disposable items. Yet, there were no signs of his Instabilities in the throne hall. Moreover, Noah didn't suffer any injury, meaning that the battle had been utterly one-sided during those short minutes.
