Chapter 1464 1464. Healing

The aftermath caused by the detonation of Bret's formation soon dispersed due to the various dense auras that filled the mountain's peak. The cloud of gray smoke that had filled the sky after the detonation vanished and revealed the outcome of Jordan's battle.
Bret was nowhere to be seen. Even his formations had vanished without leaving any trace. The ground didn't feature any blood either since the violent energy released in the explosion had turned it into ashes.
The only figure that occupied that destroyed battlefield was a huge dragon that breathed heavily. Jordan appeared heavily injured. Scales fell from her body, and trails of smoke came out of her large wounds.
"She won't be able to fight in the next attack," Noah commented when his eyes fell on Jordan's injuries.
King Elbas snorted at his words, and Noah shot a confused glance toward him. The Royal's knowledge was immense, but Noah surpassed him when it came to hybrids. King Elbas' reaction wasn't something that Noah expected to see after giving his evaluation.
"Nonsense," King Elbas said before shooting toward Jordan.
Noah followed the Royal, and his eyes lit up when he saw King Elbas taking out a series of inscribed items from his space-ring. They were sensors of various kinds that helped him understand how severe Jordan's injuries were.
"Give me a tinge of your law," King Elbas said as he stored his items.
Jordan struggled to lift her eyelids, and her reptilian pupils studied King Elbas before fixing on Noah. The two exchanged a long glance that broke when Noah nodded.
A tinge of Jordan's law condensed on her head, and King Elbas promptly seized it. The Royal then took out a large structure from his storage item and started to modify the inscriptions on its surface.
The building was no different from the portable habitations that King Elbas carried inside his space-ring. It had a palace-like appearance, with a large golden door and a smooth metallic surface.
The structure had no windows and featured only four towers on its corners. They seemed to lack a purpose, but Noah guessed that King Elbas had taken into consideration the aesthetic of the habitation when he built it.
When King Elbas completed the modifications, he placed the speck of Jordan's law inside one of the golden lines. The building quickly changed color. Its golden surfaces turned amber as Jordan's individuality spread through the inscriptions.
"I have tuned the healing properties of this building to your individuality," King Elbas said. "According to my calculations, you should heal thirteen times faster in here. The process will deplete part of your lifespan, but that shouldn't be a problem for you."
Noah's jaw almost fell after that explanation. He had a spell that enhanced his healing properties, but that inscribed item surpassed it. Also, hybrids wouldn't care about its drawbacks since their lifespan was immense.
Jordan was even part dragon. Her aspect would remain the same for entire millennia. Losing a few years to heal her injuries faster was a fair trade.
"This is perfect for hybrids," Noah said. "Did you build it for the Legion?"
Noah couldn't help but wonder why King Elbas owned such an item. Its features seemed to favor hybrids over humans, so Noah felt confused about the whole matter.
"I didn't build it for the Legion," King Elbas snorted. "I had an idea after the ambush of the Crystal City when I saw how long it had taken you to heal. It's already too late for me at that point. I need to create anything that I find interesting."
Jordan shrunk while Noah and King Elbas talked. Her scales transformed into amber skin as she regained her human appearance.
Her body in human form didn't carry any injury, but her complexion was far from good. She could hide her wounds in that shape, but she couldn't make them disappear.
"I hope Ian manages to capture his opponent," Jordan said as she crossed the entrance of the palace. "I couldn't win without killing mine."
An amber radiance surrounded the whole habitation after Jordan shut its doors. The item had activated its healing effects, so Noah and King Elbas could divert their attention on the other battlefields again.
Don and the other hybrids' battle had become easier after the explosion of Bret's formation. Most of the humans fighting against them had died when the wave of violent energy swept the mountain's peak.
The eight hybrids fought wildly. They overwhelmed their opponents with their physical strength. Don's law even allowed his companions to ignore the distance from the cultivators and launch shockwaves that carried their power.
That battlefield had slowly turned into a one-sided fight, and Noah couldn't bother to watch it. The other battles were more interesting, so his attention quickly moved toward Ian.
Adele wielded two fiery hammers that destroyed Ian's soundwaves whenever they slammed on the air. She had a fire aptitude, but the might carried by her attacks could influence the hybrid's howls in ways that only cultivators with a wind aptitude could.
She wasn't even attacking Ian. Her hammers crashed on the air, spreading her influence through the sky and playing her peculiar rhythm.
Ian didn't stop attacking her. Howls continued to come out of his mouth and create shockwaves that converged toward Adele, but her hammers were ready to stop them every time.
An area of distorted air slowly formed around Adele. Her hammers hit the air more often at that point, and small flames began to appear around her.
Those flames flickered according to Adele's rhythm and helped to spread her aura. Her peculiar domain kept expanding, and the fire soon filled a large part of the sky.
Nothing Ian launched managed to pierce those defenses. Adele's aura was too thick for his soundwaves, but the hybrid never stopped howling. He didn't appear concerned about his opponent, but the same went for Adele.
"We both accumulate power, am I right?" Adele asked from behind the walls of flames.
Ian smirked before launching another howl. Adele was right, but he wouldn't give information about his law to his opponent so easily. That mission was for the greater good of the Legion. He couldn't let his ego take over.
"I understand," Adele said. "We will see which owns the stronger law after we finish accumulating power."
Adele's aura continued to expand, but a confused expression soon appeared on her face. She had guessed Ian's law correctly, but the hybrid wasn't spreading his influence in the environment. His soundwaves vanished whenever they touched the flames.
Still, that strangeness in Ian's law didn't make Adele stop. She didn't believe that Ian was weak. She planned to launch her best attack before the hybrid completed his preparations.
The flames suddenly condensed in the shape of a massive bolt. Her condensed air also fused with the fiery weapon that floated in the air in front of Adele.
The cultivator then glanced toward Ian before raising her hammers. Her weapons quickly hit the back of the bolt and threw it at high speed toward the hybrid.
The bolt was incredibly fast, faster than Noah when he used the movement technique fueled by the "embodiment of power". It was a finishing move.
However, Ian continued to smile as he blew toward the bolt. The weapon suddenly imploded before it could reach him. It was as if an immense force had crashed on its fiery surface.
