Chapter 468 - Tamers War - Pure Dragon
Ren had begun treatment with the help of several healers who applied healing exactly where and how he asked them to, though they were all somewhat confused by the peculiar situation of being guided by an eleven-year-old child.
His movements were precise and confident, directing his seventh processed tentacle toward specific points in Zhao’s mana system while carefully monitoring his body’s reactions to each intervention.
The tentacle writhed slightly in his grip, a secondary problem from the absorption and preparation process he had to skillfully adjust in real time. Where it touched Zhao’s skin, faint wisps of energy began to dissipate, the crystallized mana responding to the absorption properties exactly as predicted.
Everything was going surprisingly well.
The first treatment was working exactly as Ren had predicted, and the mana crystallizations were beginning to dissolve gradually. Small sparkles of light escaped from Zhao’s pores as the solidified energy returned to its semi-ethereal state, creating brief rainbow patterns in the air before fading completely.
One of the healers wiped sweat from his brow. "I’ve never seen anything like this," he murmured, watching the crystalline formations literally melt away under the tentacle’s influence. "Twenty years of practice, and..."
"Focus," Ren interrupted gently but firmly. "Channel your healing energy to his lower left rib area. There’s damage accumulating there."
A guard came running with additional materials he had been sent to fetch.
"We only need to extract the connective tissue around the core and... we don’t know how to turn the vitality beast into powder," he reported, handing over a bag with components that smelled of concentrated medicine.
The guard’s confusion was evident in his furrowed brow and the way he held the bag at arm’s length, clearly struggling to understand how those creatures reduced to dirt could have medical applications.
Ren examined the materials quickly and shook his head, disappointed by the comment.
"You don’t need to do it yourselves," he explained. "You just have to let the beasts, from which you’re going to remove the other tentacles I need, absorb the essence directly."
