Chapter 4512: Lifting the Veil (Part 2)

"Why are you telling me this?" The Dryad swallowed hard. "Are you trying to scare me?"

"I’m trying to reassure you." He took a deep breath, checking the strength of his life force and testing his ability to focus. "You’re the perfect patient, Althika. If anyone can survive this, it’s you.

"Are you ready to begin the second step of your treatment?"

"What about my baby?" She asked, placing her hands on her swollen womb to protect it.

"I won’t even come close to him." Lith replied. "He’ll be safe. You have my word."

Althika used her breathing technique to check on the small life growing inside her, and her heartbeat steadied after listening to her son’s.

"I’m ready." She nodded. "Do I need to close my eyes again?"

"Meln can no longer interfere, but I’d rather you not watch. As Lady Yaga said, let’s avoid pointless stress."

"Okay." The Dryad leaned her head against the pillow and closed her eyes, trying to convince herself she was just about to take a nap.

Lith placed his hands on her forehead and chest again and listened to the other aspects of his life force.

’Wrong! This is wrong!’ The Voidfeather Dragon was still loud and angry, while the Void had gone silent.

A deep breath ignited the Dread Flames, and a second breath wreathed Lith in them, covering him from head to toe.

"Listen to me, Althika. No matter what happens, don’t fight me. Fight him." Lith’s words made no sense to her until the Dread Flames seeped inside her body.

They phased through the Dryad life force without harming it and encroached on the Upyr side. As a hybrid, Althika had one mana core and two distinct life forces that weren’t supposed to overlap.

In her case, however, the Upyr had silently invaded the Dryad side, and the two life forces presented several contact points. Lith focused the Dread Flames there, burning the Upyr life force even at the cost of harming part of the contaminated Dryad side.

Althika clenched her teeth in pain, but followed Lith’s instructions and kept her regenerative abilities in check. Her Dryad life force remained still, accepting the Dread Flames’ liberating touch as it drove the Upyr side away.

"Now you can heal." Lith said. "Tap my hand once you are done."

Althika nodded and tapped his hand.

"Now, fight with me." Lith released one more breath of silvery flames, and this time it was a sword, not a scalpel.

It cut deep into the Upyr life force, opening a path that the Dryad side exploited to invade its hated enemy. The Upyr side fought back, but new tongues of Dread Flames burned it down and cleared new paths for the Dryad life force.

Every time Lith killed part of her Upyr side, Althika felt pain, but it was a pleasant kind of pain, like bursting a boil or sewing an open wound close. It was the kind of pain that promised the end of suffering, and was followed by relief as her tissues healed.

Lith destroyed the Upyr life force one burst of Dread Flames at a time, allowing the Dryad side to reclaim Althika’s body piece by piece. Once the treatment ended, she was no longer a Divine Beast.
