Draconic Pets Evolution System-Chapter 220: His Will
The sun was starting to appear.
"I fought through the night?" he asked himself in shock as his legs finally gave way, crashing onto the ground as he fell to the side, armless.
[No, Host!]
[The night has lasted for a total of 72 hours, equalling Endearth’s three days.]
[So technically, it would be better to say the Host has fought for three days and nights now and has kept Nano-Umbral Reaper active throughout these three days.]
[Not by energy, as the Host’s body had already given up mere three hours after its activation, but by mere Corrupted Will!]
[The effects will now settle in, five minutes from now, and the Host better prepare well!]
The system said as Ryuk’s eyes refocused, and he sighed at the face pressing against his head.
It was Isha, and surprisingly, she had kept up with him through the entire night, even though Ryuk had bought around ten or so more healing injury pills.
Lesser ones.
"Hey, system. How many purchase points do I have left?" he asked.
[Purchase Points: 500]
"I choose to buy one final Lesser Grade Body Healing Serum."
[Lesser Grade Body Healing Serum]
[Purchase Points: 500]

[Does Host really wish to purchase?]
"Yes."
In an instant, a glass serum appeared in his palms, and he poured it into Isha’s maw, just like he had done countless times now. Her injuries began fading away, the diabolical marks over her body vanishing, and her wings regenerating.
In a few seconds, she was back to her peak.
"Hey, Isha…" Ryuk called weakly as he felt the world begin to fade.
"Yes?" Isha replied.
"I will be going into a slumber for some time now. It might be a bit long. So, I want you to return to the tree house I made and lay me in the tent."
"There’s a storage ring, on my severed hand, just right there," Ryuk said, as he looked at his severed arm laying about three meters away. Isha moved to it, picking up the blue ring.
"For some time now, I’ll be in slumber. I forbid you from getting blood on your claws or maw while I’m in it."
"To get by, I’ll pass you the ring. There are runic cards within and enough to keep us safe. Your main duty will be to protect the tent and ensure no harm comes upon me. You understand?" Ryuk stated, as Isha looked at the storage ring before she nodded.
Her rage toward her weakness had greatly subsided.
She no longer had wrath in her mind, for now at least.
And she could sense there was something in her, awakened by the battle she had just fought.
Many things about herself, which she had failed to notice before, she could now feel she had grasped—both about her body and her Ice Manipulation.
It would be best if she spent some time trying to comprehend whatever understanding she had gained.
And with Ryuk going into slumber, he surely would need to be protected. So it was best if she truly avoided any battle.
"Okay," Isha stated, and in an instant, Ryuk was swept up onto her back as Isha raced away from the blood-ridden battlefield.
The darkness was getting deeper now. His sense of touch, smell, and even pain were starting to fade.
"Hey, system," Ryuk called.
[Yes.]
"I amassed a lot of points from the battle, didn’t I?"
[Yes, Host. During your mindless battle, you have brought ruin to a total of 31 Grade C Beasts and 7 Grade B Beasts!]
[The 31 Grade C Beasts, with each beast giving about 2,000 to 4,000 EXP, give the Host a total of 93,000 EXP! The Grade B Beasts give about 7,000 EXP each, totaling 49,000 EXP!]
[Total EXP: 142,000/10,000]
The system explained, but Ryuk couldn’t see the notifications anymore.
"Level me up, and balance all my stat points equally amongst all of my stats while I rest in slumber."
"You can do that, can’t you?" Ryuk stated.
[If the Host wishes, but such a level-up will cause a massive amount of pain and a possible re-evolution of the Host’s abilities and body, that might cause quite the bit of self alienation!!]
[It will be best if the Host is in a conscious state to undergo the effect.]
The system explained, but Ryuk’s vision had blurred completely to black, and soon he felt himself laid onto the comfy, soft material.
"Good system. You do that," were his last words before his body fell limp, and he disappeared into unconsciousness—a deep unconsciousness that even he had no idea of its duration.
His body lay limp and harmless under Isha’s stare, but Isha’s eyes held nothing but respect and reverence.
She knew well she had only lasted through that battle because of the healing pills and setum she had received.
She had zero idea how Ryuk had gotten these things, but they were the only things that allowed her to fight by his side for so long through the battle.
And throughout its duration, she had never seen Ryuk take a single pill or serum himself.
He had been beaten, risen up, and fallen, only to rise again, be beaten down, and then fall once more, only to rise up back again.
She had watched him rise and rise. With nothing but a scythe and her by his side. He had continued fighting and fighting.
She had previously thought him weak.
And even though Isha had been subdued by Ryuk due to his King’s aura, she wasn’t dumb.
She also knew well it was only because of the weird skill Ryuk had used to subdue her.
Somehow, even after this subduement, she still felt his weakness deep down.
She still felt she was higher and he was unworthy of having her by his side. She felt him even more weaker when she saw his true capability with his fight with the Collosal.
But now, she had been proven wrong.
"He might be weak now. His ability now might be tiny compared to his abysmal potential. In fact, if compared, it makes him look like trash."
"But there’s no doubt about it. He’s willed enough. Willed enough to rise back up, even after every crushing defeat."
"He was strong enough to smile through the pain and suffering, endlessly rise back up after being beaten down."
"There’s no doubt about it now. He will fill up his abyss of cup one day."
"And when he does, none—none will stand in his way and live."
"Perhaps that is when we both will be truly find peace. And until then, I’ll be by his side."
"I swear on my life."
"I’ll be by your side until the end of it all... My King."
