Chapter 1436 - Davross And Darwen (Part 2)

"I'll go back practicing Domination with the others. Invigoration has no effect on my life force but it can still replenish the mana I spent on Domination." Lith's voice was coarse and deep as if the flames had burned his throat.

"No, you're going home. You're done for today." The Hydra took off her working clothes while shaking her head.

?

Sweat made her clothes stick to her like a second skin and her face reddened from the heat looked even lovelier than usual.

"I'm still full of energy. I-"

Faluel poked Lith's forehead, cutting him short and making his vision go blurry.

"Rest is an integral part of training. You have no idea how exhausted you are. The physical, mental, and emotional stress will kill you if you don't take care of yourself."

Lith tried to use Invigoration, but he didn't feel any better for it.

"Your life force is severely shaken. I let you overexert yourself to show you the consequences of abusing Origin Flames while in a controlled environment." Faluel helped Lith to get up as his head cleared little by little.

"How do I get better quickly?" He asked.

"There's no shortcut. Food, sleep, and relaxation are the only cure I know. Bye!" She Warped Lith in his barn while it was still noon.

He would have gladly gone back at the tower, but without Solus there was none. Elina and Raaz rejoiced at the idea of spending some time with him after so long.

"Gods! Look at that, dear." Raaz said. "The stubble, the hair, the black circles around the eyes. Lith looks like crap!"

"Raaz! Our son- Great Mother almighty!" Elina didn't like how Raaz had expressed his diagnosis but she found it accurate. "Go take a bath while I prepare you something nutritious."

Raaz had failed to notice the bloodshot eyes and the loss of a few kilograms but Elina's routine check-up didn't. After the bath, Elina forced him to get rid of the stubble and to eat enough for four Quyllas.

"Mom, Dad, I've made up my mind. I'm going to celebrate my birthday only once and only with my family this year. I can't stand nobles sucking up to me and I don't have the strength to smile as if nothing happened. Not now." Lith said after cleaning his plates.

"Of course, dear." She nodded.

Lith gave her a brief guest list that included solely his family, the Ernas sisters, and Protector's family. Not seeing Kamila among those names or at least Zinya pained her, but Elina said nothing.

They made small talk about the farm and the animals until the end of the meal. Lith offered to heal for free cattle and farmhands before going back to his room.

'Faluel can say what she wants, but I've got no time to waste. I can develop a new breathing technique without putting any extra burden on my body even by myself. The first thing I need to do is-'

He fell asleep the moment his head touched the pillow.

Lith woke up a few hours later when it was too late for practicing but too soon for dinner. Also, Solus and Tista had yet to return. Lith Warped to the Hydra's lair, drawing a lot of hateful gazes on himself.

He looked well-fed and rested whereas they looked like miners at the end of a double-shift.
