Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2566

Meanwhile, Andrew's consciousness was in chaos. His body felt unbearably uncomfortable, as if it was tearing apart from the inside.

He could feel two completely different streams of energy entering his body, merging with his own inner power and the Blood Pith's force; four energies raging through him at once.

If it had been anyone else, their body would have exploded by now. However, Andrew was not like anyone else; his constitution was one in a million.

Unseen by anyone, the Blood-Eyed Black Dragon mark on his chest began to glow faintly. As the Blood Pith's power circulated and was slowly absorbed, the glowing dragon mark on his chest shimmered brighter and brighter, burning with life.

Neither Luna nor Valerie noticed it, though. Both women were drenched in sweat, not saying a word. They could feel that the situation had reached a critical point.

The energy within their bodies, while already quite abundant, was just a trickle compared to the violent storm inside Andrew. Both could feel their strength draining rapidly, but they dared not relax.

If it continued, they would soon hit their limits.

Although there was no immediate danger, being completely drained of energy was terrifying in its own way. If that happened, they would lose all strength for a while, becoming completely defenseless.

For women like Luna and Valerie, both cautious and fiercely guarded, that was a nightmare. They trusted no one but themselves, and losing their power would be like stripping away every layer of armor, standing completely exposed.

However, Andrew needed their help. So after a brief hesitation, Luna continued channeling her energy into him. Meanwhile, Valerie opened her eyes slightly, her gaze shifting as if she were weighing her options.

Sheena slowly walked into Swordheaven Keep's main hall. Two massive swords stood upright on either side, and the hall itself was vast, huge, with very few people. Despite the hundred or so people, the space felt nearly empty because of its sheer size.
