Magic power somewhat recovered, Bai Jin unleashed detection magic to stay on guard.

Kula Doreen’s healing process was extremely lengthy.

After about two to three hours, Iyas finally left Kula Doreen’s side, wiped the sweat from her cheek, and walked up to Yang Yu.

”There’s something I’d like to talk with you about privately.”

Nodding in agreement, Yang Yu followed Iyas, distancing themselves from Qiuye and Kula Doreen, arriving at a small grove.

Iyas detailed the healing situation to Yang Yu,

”...We’ve already fully removed the rampant black magic inside him.

But it’s only a makeshift cure, momentarily saving his life.

It feels very strange.

How to describe that feeling? Even though the black magic is removed, his body has fallen into an indescribable unstable state.

If you liken him to a stack of blocks, something within those blocks keeps vibrating.

Currently, the vibration frequency is small, but it’s gradually increasing.

I have a hunch that these vibrations will eventually affect the whole, leading to a total collapse...

We can’t find a way to stop these vibrations; there’s no way to completely heal him.”

”Can we excavate the vibrating areas and fill them with other areas?”

”We have thought about that method. It’s fine for areas on the skin, but the ’vibrating’ areas aren’t just on the skin; many vital organs might...” Iyas hugged her right elbow, stopping there.

”I understand. I also roughly know the consequences. Later, I’ll have a talk with him.”

Iyas nodded and added: ”Furthermore, due to prolonged exposure to those black flames, and untimely rescue...

His hand...

His combat effectiveness is likely to be greatly reduced...”

”Hmm.”

Yang Yu softly responded, confirming that Iyas had nothing more to say, and he approached Kula Doreen again.

Kula Doreen had already awakened, or rather, he had always been awake.

When falling into the lake, he knew if he just fell asleep like that, perhaps he would never wake up again.

He still had some unfinished business; Kula Doreen didn’t intend to leave this world so easily.

So, he never allowed fatigue to pull him into the abyss, remaining conscious until now.

Seeing Yang Yu approaching, Kula Doreen propped himself up with his blackened hand, sitting up from the ground, and asked:

”Lord Yang Yu, do you have bandages?”

Kula Doreen struggled to sit up with great difficulty, as if a hundred hands were pulling him down. Yet, his tone was remarkably natural, as if the recent injury had vanished without a trace.

His beloved blade fell from his hand, Qiuye rushed forward and embraced Kula Doreen, crying in his arms.

Qiuye tried hard not to make a sound while crying, her clumsy effort turning it into sobbing.

Kula Doreen wished to hold Qiuye as he did before, but his hand froze when about to touch the top of Qiuye’s head, fearing his hand might bring something, he pulled it back.

Perhaps Kula Doreen too realized the condition of his body.

Taking out the bandages, Yang Yu handed them to Kula Doreen, pulling out a segment.

Kula Doreen slowly unwound the bandages, wrapping them around his hand.

Once Kula Doreen had finished bandaging, Qiuye gradually calmed down, Yang Yu and the rest tidied up the battleground, confiscated all the spoils, and set out to return to the battleship.

To escape the Spiny Scale Lizard, Luo Luosi maneuvered the battleship to forcefully rush ashore, crashing into the forest.

The battleship jolted all the way, leaving many marks.

Despite closing all the barriers before disembarking to let the battleship self-repair, the extent of damage wasn’t something the ship’s built-in healing magic could address.

After carefully inspecting the battleship, Luo Luosi concluded, ”It can sail, but can’t guarantee the hull won’t leak water if attacked again.”

Fortunately, Yang Yu requested an extra battleship from the Dragon God’s Might for emergencies, so Yang Yu and the others didn’t have to navigate the sea with a potential-fault ship.

After dinner, to ensure no sudden spirit assault from Count Blood during the night, Yang Yu arranged for a night watch.

Yang Yu specifically paired himself with Kula Doreen.

Kula Doreen sensed Yang Yu seemed to want to discuss something and promptly agreed.

But this arrangement met strong opposition from Qiuye, ”Leave the night watch to me; Father just went through such fierce battles and should rest.”

”Since you’re worried about me, why don’t you join us...” Kula Doreen said, turning his head towards Yang Yu, seeking his opinion, ”Is that alright, Lord Yang Yu?”

Yang Yu sighed and said, ”If you’re fine with it, so am I.”

With Yang Yu’s approval, Kula Doreen told Qiuye:

”Lord Yang Yu wants to ask me about some things, you should also learn to read between the lines.

The issues Lord Yang Yu wishes to discuss are some that I wanted to address too.

Explaining them directly to you might be better.”

Qiuye wanted to inquire further but was obediently silent after being told so by her father.

As night deepened, Bai Jin constructed a defensive barrier around the battleship using the remaining magic power on board, and once the defense was set up, everyone headed into tents to rest.

Yang Yu and Kula Doreen sat facing each other by the campfire, Qiuye between them, beginning the first round of night watch.

Shortly after the watch began, Yang Yu prodded the campfire, cutting straight to the chase:

”Mr. Kula Doreen, how are you feeling physically?”

”I’m alright right now.”

”You should be aware of the actual condition of your body.”

Kula Doreen’s reply held no surprise at Yang Yu’s inquiry, ”I thought I couldn’t hide it from you.”

Qiuye sat between them, looking around, unaware of what the two were discussing.

Yang Yu’s next words however penetrated Qiuye’s soul like a steel needle,

”Your life has already entered a countdown; what do you plan to do now?

If you leave us now and head to the continent, perhaps you could find a way to prolong your life.”

Kula Doreen stared at the firelight and provided his answer,

”Or it may simply end in futile efforts.

It’s almost impossible someone faces the same situation as me.

Rather than dying in a futile chase for a non-existent survival, I prefer to die with some value.

Or are you, Lord Yang Yu, seeing me as a burden...”

Yang Yu shook his head, ”Nothing like that. It’s just that dragging you into this and causing such a result makes me feel a bit guilty.”

”It’s an outcome I chose; once aboard the ship, I was already prepared for it. Lord Yang Yu, you had some kind of preparedness before coming here too, after all...”

Yang Yu interrupted Kula Doreen’s words, ”Perhaps you’ll be disappointed.

I’m not as noble as you envision.

All I’ve done up to now is for the sake of surviving.

Fighting to stay alive.”
