บท 155: Recuperating

Luckily, Beatrice's weight didn't squash his already injured body, and Kyle was finally able to breathe once again.

After their rather graceless fall, he continued to lie on the thick tree branch. 

Simultaneously, he used his Nurture ability on himself the moment a tiny fraction of soul force was replenished.

Because of that, he could feel the pain slowly ebb. 

However, it would take a while until he would be fully healed.

There was only one problem- some of the tiny branches were still sticking into his back, digging into the outer layer of his skin.

This made his already sliced-off back hurt even more and taking them out was difficult because he couldn't reach all of them.

As such, healing himself would make everything worse as the branches had to be taken out first.

Thus, he merely invigorated himself until he felt strong enough to lift his upper body.

After this, he focussed on healing the rest of his body too.
