章 267: 264: To safety (2in1)

The tense situation Val found himself in had escalated to a perilous point, yet not a single wave of fear washed over him, thanks to his Unfeeling Trait. 

But something else happened; something so unexpected that it left him deeply disturbed.

The moment their breath touched his skin, an overwhelming sense of fatigue surged through his body. 

This sensation was unlike anything he had felt before. 

It was as if his vitality, which was extremely abundant, was being drained away, leaving him teetering on the edge of physical and mental collapse. It was a weird sensation, and he was certain that the weird entities were the cause of it.

Suddenly, the system notification rang in his mind.

[System Notification: "You have been touched by the Breath of the Withering Spirits. Your Stamina and HP have decreased significantly."]
