I didn't know how much time passed. I lost awareness of my body for a time, wholly involved in sweeping out the proteins from the knight's body to the nobleman's. When I found the knight's level reaching to just below the amount that Hal had, being an old man whose bone growth had little inciters to begin with, I observed the amount in the nobleman's body. It was still low, but it was a good deal better than nothing.
I slowly backed out, healing their palms on the way, to find the knight gingerly holding a handkerchief to my nose. Thankfully, only a bit of blood was on it, to which I smiled to like a good grade on a report card. I was getting sturdier.
