Chapter 412 Hands Over Reiji Maigo?

"Bang—!"

That was the sound of flames suddenly expanding, intensifying the level of combustion.

In his slumber, Fang Li vaguely heard this sound and soon felt it. He sensed his once weary and powerless body gradually filling with power. Like a rushing stream, the power flowed within him, dispelling the fatigue that had taken over Fang Li's body, and injecting a surge of energy that made him feel refreshed.

Feeling the power flowing gradually within, Fang Li realized.

It was Prana.

The Prana that had nearly been depleted during the fierce battle with Sydonay.

The Prana that, originally, would take at least a week for Fang Li's resilient body to fully recover. Given Fang Li's increased Prana compared to before, it would naturally take more time for complete recovery once exhausted.

However, at this moment, Fang Li's Prana, which would typically require about a week for recovery, suddenly fully restored itself.

Thanks to the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) and Ionic Spark abilities.

Under the influence of the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child), every day at midnight, the possessor's Power of Existence would be restored to its complete state. With the Ionic Spark's effect, the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child), targeting Fang Li, could not only restore the Power of Existence but also Prana to its full state after the conversion.

Therefore, at this moment, the Prana that was still slowly recovering abruptly came back in its entirety, transforming into a rushing force flowing within Fang Li's body.

The reason Fang Li collapsed was not only due to severe injuries but also exhaustion caused by Prana depletion.

Now, under the influence of Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) and Ionic Spark, Fang Li's Prana instantly gained complete recovery, and fatigue was swiftly dispelled.

As a result, Fang Li's consciousness began to shift towards wakefulness.

"Ugh..."

In a low groan, Fang Li slowly woke up in the dim room, opening his eyes.

The first thing that caught Fang Li's eyes was the ceiling.

Of course, Fang Li recognized this ceiling and could easily identify it.

Shortly afterward, a sharp pain radiated from his shoulders and arms, causing Fang Li to furrow his brow slightly.

Just at that moment, a low and thunderous voice echoed, reaching Fang Li's ears.

"You are awake already? That's faster than I anticipated."

Hearing this, Fang Li paused, turned his head, and looked towards the source of the voice.

However, Fang Li didn't see the master of the voice; instead, he saw a cute girl.

"Hu... hu..."

Shana lay beside Fang Li's bed, like a child caring for a patient, resting her head on the bed edge, deeply asleep.

Only the pendant in front of her continued to emit a radiant light, reminiscent of scattering fire powder.

The voice came from the pendant.

Fang Li, of course, knew who was speaking.

So, Fang Li only said, "How long have I been asleep?"

Alastor immediately replied, "Not long, it's just past midnight now."

Fang Li nodded and then looked at his own body.

To his surprise, Fang Li's clothes, once soaked in blood, had disappeared. He lay on the bed bare-chested, his body wrapped in pristine bandages. The shoulder, bitten by Sydonay, was also wrapped in bandages, winding around half of Fang Li's torso, nearly covering his upper body in white cloth.

Occasional stings of pain emanated from his arms and shoulders, indicating that Fang Li's injuries were not fully healed yet.

As for the other wounds, they had completely recovered.

Observing this, Fang Li realized that before he fell into unconsciousness, Shana did indeed extract the Healing Jewel from his body for treatment.

However, the effects of the Healing Jewel were limited. It could only be used once a day and could recover from severe injuries but not fatal ones. Given Fang Li's critical injuries, recovering to this extent was already commendable.

Seeing Shana's seemingly untouched appearance, it appeared that the Healing Jewel's power was also distributed to this young girl. Otherwise, Fang Li's injuries would have improved more.

Fang Li had no complaints about this. After all, it wouldn't be right to let a girl suffer injuries while he focused solely on his own recovery.

However, the bandages on his body looked somewhat untidy, causing Fang Li some surprise.

Fang Li then turned to the pendant in front of Shana and asked, "Did Shana wrap these bandages for me?"

"It took some effort." Alastor answered from the side, "After all, for a Flame Haze, even without using Unrestricted Spells, injuries generally heal quickly, and there's rarely a need for treatment."

So, it was inevitable that Shana, who rarely applied bandages, did so in a somewhat untidy manner. Fang Li had no complaints about that.

Looking at Shana, who lay on the edge of his bed with a cute sleeping face, Fang Li remarked, "She usually looks so hateful towards me, and now she's helping me like this. I don't know whether to call her 'cold on the outside, warm on the inside' or just not straightforward."

Alastor didn't continue the topic, seemingly unwilling to engage in conversation about it. He only said, "How about you? Are you okay?"

"No problem." Fang Li also had no intention of continuing this topic, saying directly, "With this level of injury, it might affect some of my actions, but once the Healing Jewel's power is restored, I will be fully healed."

"Is it called the Healing Jewel?" Alastor asked, "It's a very useful Treasure Tool, but I've never heard of it. Where did you get it?"

"I bought it," Fang Li replied casually, "Treasure Tools are manufactured by someone, so it's not surprising that new things emerge. You wouldn't know it, but it's not strange."

"...You are truly a strange person." Alastor fell silent for a moment, then sighed, "Clearly, you're a human, yet you possess such combat prowess and multiple Treasure Tools. You're becoming more and more mysterious."

"Many people have said that to me." Fang Li glanced at the pendant housing Alastor's will and said, "For ignorant humans, aren't you Flame Hazes mysterious as well?"

Unable to refute, Alastor let out a bitter laugh.

Soon after, Alastor continued, "Now that you're awake, let's discuss the future."

"The future?" Fang Li immediately looked at the pendant in front of Shana.

Fang Li could probably guess what Alastor intended to say.

Sure enough, Alastor said, "Can you hand over the Reiji Maigo (Midnight Lost Child) to us?"
