Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2568

When Sheena returned to her quarters, she was completely stunned.

Andrew's room was a wreck. The furniture was overturned, and the air was thick with heat and tension.

Luna and Valerie were sprawled unconscious on the floor, while Andrew sat cross-legged on the bed, his body radiating intense heat like a furnace.

"Sheena, you're back!" Andrew rasped hoarsely, forcing a faint smile despite the strain on his voice.

Sheena asked, "What happened? What's wrong with you? And why are those two unconscious?"

Andrew winced slightly in pain as he smiled bitterly, "They both depleted too much energy. After I woke up, I forcibly pushed them away, which caused them to pass out. As for me, well, I was careless."

Sheena stepped forward and checked on him, her expression grave. "Andrew, the energy inside your body is getting more violent. This energy is so massive and abundant, it's almost unbelievable. What did you eat or absorb?"

Andrew said helplessly, "Last night, I ate a piece of Blood Pith. You know how powerful that thing is."

Sheena's mouth dropped open in rare shock, "Blood Pith? As in, the ancient warrior essence kind? How could you do something so reckless? Don't move! Let me help you!"

Andrew quickly stopped her. "Don't touch me. You're about to face Alfredo in battle. You shouldn't disrupt your energy flow before the fight... It could affect your strength later."
