Chapter 21

Before he could get started on any of that, however, Fred finally calmed down enough from all the excitement and discoveries to finally check up on both Regnark and the woman he had brought back to life. He had been only momentarily worried when Roady had smacked him across the room, where he impacted the far wall with a loud *crack*, but a quick look at his Interface showed that his Vitality was already increasing; in fact, his recovery was remarkable considering how much damage had been done to the big man’s body. It was like a hyper-fast recovery rate in comparison to his own regeneration, which was definitely not a bad thing.

It took another couple of minutes for everyone to break up from the excitement, for the members of the Core Power Guild and the townspeople to head back to their “training” room (which was what they had dubbed it earlier) and for all but Roady and Chareese to return to the surface in order to inform the Council of what had occurred. Once they were gone, Fred walked over to Regnark with the massive armored Knight-Commander and former Inquisitor in tow.

He knelt down by the big guy’s side, noticing that he appeared practically recovered from the entire ordeal; he had refused healing from some of the townspeople earlier, saying that he wanted to test the limits of his abilities, so they left him to recover on his own. “How are you doing, Regnark? Is your Dark Mana helping to regenerate your Vitality?” he asked, already knowing the answer but wanting to explain what was going on to the others listening.

“Absolutely! It feels…strange…but other than a few spikes of pain now and then, my body just felt relatively numb through the entire experience. Fortunately, the natural regen of my Mana here in this place is high enough that I’ve only ended up using just under 20 Dark Mana for my recovery. I would hate to see it somewhere else, though; it feels like a lot of it is being used to repair my bones and fix all my internal injuries, and if I were low on Mana out there, it might not be enough. I don’t think I can stop it either – it feels like it’s doing it automatically, so I’m not sure it would halt the flow of Dark Mana before it sucked me dry.”

Fred tried to reassure him. “I’m not positive, but I believe there are some limits in place that would prevent the use of all your Mana if you weren’t dangerously close to death. Just now, the process I was using to bring Chareese back as a Shard sucked all but one point of my Mana that wasn’t being used to maintain the dungeon. Of course, if someone had chopped my head off or stabbed me in the chest at that point I would probably die for good, but fortunately that didn’t happen,” he said with a smile on his face.

“You didn’t tell me that! You could’ve died,” Eisa exclaimed as she smacked him on the arm…hard.
