It wasn’t long before Kisha saw a notification appear in front of her, indicating an increase in her stats and multiplier.
However, she didn’t stop there. Just like the first time she used the Scarlet Honey continuously, she pressed on, consuming more to push her limits further.
But she wasn’t alone—Duke was following the same approach. After hearing about Kisha’s success with this method, his concerns about potential repercussions faded.
Time was a luxury they didn’t have, and taking the safest route to level up was no longer an option.
Not only were they uncertain about the possibility of another zombie raid, but they also had no idea what fate awaited Rose.
No one but the two of them knew what they were planning.
While Kisha quietly guided the energy through her body, a part of her consciousness kept a close watch on Rose, who was just a few feet away.
This was only possible for her because she was a mental-type, possessing a stronger mentality than both superhumans and ordinary humans.
She had the ability to create a separate consciousness at will, but doing so consumed a significant portion of her mental capacity.
This made it more challenging for her to focus on guiding the energy within her body.
But she didn’t have any other choice but to take the hard route now.
If she didn’t keep an eye on Rose, who knew if Rose might suddenly break free from the crystallized ice and attack Kisha while her guard was down?
Unable to fully concentrate on guiding the energy from the Scarlet Honey, Kisha quickly began to struggle. Her face turned pale, and cold sweat started to bead and trickle down her forehead.
Another notification appeared, confirming that she had successfully guided the energy through her body, converting it into her own and boosting her stats and multiplier.
However, despite the progress, she still had a long way to go and was already feeling utterly drained.
Fortunately, despite having her consciousness split in two, she was still able to absorb the maximum energy from each dose of Scarlet Honey.
Duke, on the other hand, was also struggling. This was his first time using Scarlet Honey continuously without rest.
In the past, he only took as much as his body could handle. But now, he was determined to push beyond his limits. So, after successfully absorbing the energy from one dose, he immediately took another, just like Kisha.
He wasn’t faring any better than Kisha at this point. Duke let out a small grunt of discomfort, but inside, he felt as if his entire body was ablaze.
It was as if molten lava coursed through his veins, and the veins in his forehead bulged ominously, threatening to burst at any moment.
But even then, Duke didn’t stop.
Not far from him, Gant watched nervously.
Although he was still considered an amateur, his grandfather had taught him and his siblings how to sense spiritual fluctuations, enabling them to distinguish real crystal cores from fakes.
While most awakened individuals in the base were familiar with this skill, because Kisha taught this to them or made Sparrow and the others teach them this skill, it still required a certain level of talent to successfully perceive the energy fluctuations.
Among those with the talent were the twins, and at that moment, Gant sensed the chaotic spiritual energy emanating from Duke.
It was so intense that it sent shivers down his spine, causing goosebumps to rise on his skin.
Witnessing Duke in pain only intensified Gant’s anxiety; he could clearly see that Duke’s struggle was far from easy.
