Chapter 1180 Conflicting Forces Part 2

On top of that, the Chaos would also devour the mana she had used, forcing her to cast the tier five spell again. If she used too much darkness, instead, the other life forces would react to the threat by sharing part of their energy with the Abomination to protect it.

The slightest mistake would just make the situation worse, requiring Solus to spend more mana than what she absorbed from the geyser.

’You did enough. Now get some rest while I continue the procedure.’ Phloria said.

She could see thanks to Invigoration that Solus was on the verge of collapsing due to mana abuse. Solus had yet to recover from the damage that Lith’s Abomination form had inflicted upon her.

Using so much mana while in a debilitated state had caused the black scars on her stone body to spread dangerously close to her life force. _{fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm}

’I can still go on and you never performed Body Sculpting on Lith.’ Solus said, yet she was so weak that Phloria needed but a gentle push to force Solus’s spells to back away.

’You’re right, I didn’t, but I’ve watched you long enough to understand what you are doing and why. I know I’m no genius healer, but I’m more than capable to buy you a few precious minutes of rest.’ Phloria said.

’Let’s see. It’s all a matter of balance so what if instead of treating the Abomination side like a parasite I consider Lith’s life forces akin to three warring states? They are at battle with each other, but they always reacted in unison when perceiving a common threat.’

Following that reasoning, Phloria performed cuts even smaller than Solus’s, but each time she provided the other two life forces with part of her vitality. The approach allowed her to weaken the Abominatio side from three fronts at the same time.

Every time her Scalpel struck, it created an opening that the human and the Beast sides exploited to suppress the Chaos energy with minimal side effects on Lith. Phloria’s technique allowed her to keep stabilizing him at the same pace as Solus despite the gap in their healing skills, but it also drained huge amounts of energy.

Unlike Solus, however, she could regain it by using Invigoration and she could perform the procedure without burdening neither of her companions. Solus appreciated both Phloria’s help and ingenuity, using every second she got to reconsider her treatment.

At the same time, thanks to Lith’s situation improving by the second and the rest, her stone body had almost fixed itself, allowing her to channel most of the world energy into her spells rather than to keep herself together.

’Phloria’s treatment is foolproof but it consumes too much energy to be effective whereas mine is more efficient but it’s also more dangerous. At least whenever she makes a mistake, Lith’s condition doesn’t improve but it doesn’t get worse either.

’Maybe I can fuse the two methods into one.’ Solus thought.

She reduced the number of cuts she performed at the same time and used the remaining mana to fuel the other two life forces as soon as she made sure to have destabilized the Abomination side.

This way, not only did she decreased the risk of mistakes by using less darkness energy, but she also made each cut last longer. The constant pressure exerted by the other two life forces kept the Abomination from healing, making it gradually lose ground until it was a perfect sphere again.

’Okay, Tista, it should be safe to let go of the human side now. With the Abomination under control, we can finally treat his injuries without our healing spells being absorbed.’ Solus said via their mind link.

The moment Tista dispelled the barrier of light and earth magic that insulated Lith’s life force, his external wounds started to close at a speed visible at the naked eye. All cuts disappeared and even his maimed wing regenerated until he returned whole.
