Chapter 699: Time To Go Hunting
After spending nearly the entire night in a state of absolute stillness and focus in order to recover even the smallest amount of the Myst he had used so far, Liam finally opened his eyes.
The moment he did, he found himself back within the hidden chamber inside the rocky outcrop.
The hollow interior remained dark and quiet, even with the faint traces of moonlight slipping through the narrow crevice that served as the chamber’s entrance. The pale light barely reached beyond the front portion of the cave, leaving most of the interior drowned in shadow.
Liam remained seated for a moment, silent and still.
His crimson eyes shifted toward the crevice ahead of him, gazing quietly at the small visible portion of the night sky beyond it.
’...Ninety percent still isn’t ideal,’ he thought calmly as he slowly rose from his seated position, ’but I can work with it.’
Through hours of intense focus and controlled circulation, Liam had managed to recover another five percent of his Myst reserves, bringing him back up to ninety.
That had been his minimum goal.
Recover five percent at the very least.
And after spending what felt like the entirety of the night motionless within the chamber, he had managed exactly that.
Even so, the process had reminded him just how irritating Myst instability truly was.
Under normal conditions, someone with his reserves and control would have recovered far more than five percent through a full night of meditation and rest. But within Nalim, every attempt at Myst restoration felt like forcing water through clogged veins.
