A Challenge From A Venerable?

Benladann POV

-----

Several clones that Drake had made suddenly came rushing here. They combined together into a larger slime and looked over his resting body.

"Main body…"

They looked over Drake's sleeping appearance, as they suddenly began to fade away into magic particles.

W-What's going on?

FLASH!

Suddenly, I was able to see something, an ethereal mass emerged from within the mass of slimes, fusing back with Drake!

I saw as the clones' souls merged into one which then merged back with Drake…

Drake's soul healed a lot from this!

Around 50% of what was lost was restored.

His soul was blazing with energy.

Maybe this was his backup plan? Drake really thinks about everything!

"W-Will he wake up?"

Yuki asked this as we looked over at Drake.

But he wasn't waking up.

After a few minutes, nothing yet.
