Chapter 445: Echo of the Inner Beast
There was another problem too. Even while Charlie was inside his soul, she no longer regenerated HP, mana, or stamina. Samael had explained that this happened to servants starting at Rank E. He called it a bonus piece of information for Luke. After all, once someone reached Rank E, everyone received a massive increase to natural regeneration, even HP. That meant a servant no longer needed their master to recover.
Samael described it as greater autonomy for servants. However, they still needed to die near their master in order to respawn inside his soul, and even then they wouldn’t return with full HP.
So Luke couldn’t cheat the system by storing Charlie inside his soul to somehow refill her Blood Core or force her HP to regenerate. It simply wouldn’t work. At this point, he only served as a respawn point for Charlie, not a source of restoration.
What was meant to be new freedom for servants, since they were now strong enough to regenerate on their own outside their master’s soul, had become a new curse for Charlie. Because the only way a vampire can regenerate HP is by feeding on blood.
