Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016 - Taming God level Puzzles

The crystal had lived in the shadows of her chest since the day of the ceremony.

That was where it had ended up naturally when everything resolved, and where it had stayed, because Luna’s body didn’t want to stop hugging it and had decided it belonged there with the same instinct that made hands move toward something before the mind had finished deciding to reach.

She felt it constantly, not intrusively, not as a weight or an active reminder, but the way you felt things that had become part of you without requiring thought.

She was fiercely protective of it. Protectiveness that was less a decision than a posture, a defensive closing around something before any threat had even been named.

But when Ren asked, she didn’t feel the resistance she would have expected.

She took it out without hesitating.

She stretched her own hands out in front of her, still holding it as Ren had specified, so he wasn’t removing it from her. She held it between her palms while he placed his around without making contact. Not touching the crystal itself, only the space immediately surrounding it.

Reading only, not disturbing what he was reading by the act of reading it.

Luna watched the crystal while Ren read it.

Still cracked. Still nearly dark compared to what she remembered from before, when the light inside it had been enough to illuminate a large dark room completely. The energy remaining was perceptible to her because she was Luna and because you always perceived the things you had missed that much, but it was a fraction of what it had been.

"It’s what I thought," said Ren. "The energy is around Platinum rank. Not far from Selphira and Victor, but one tier above."

A short exhale.

"I’m not ready to work with statues at that level yet. Sirius is probably in a similar range if he was trapped by a similar door, so he would have to wait too."

Luna nodded slowly. It was what she had expected. They didn’t even know for certain if the people inside complete statues were still alive, or whether reversing the process would return something functional.

"Complete statues probably need to be worked uniformly, everything simultaneously for it to come back with no damage..." Ren continued, and Luna noticed something in his voice that wasn’t doubt but was close to it. The concern of someone whose responsibility now extended further than he had expected it to extend when he started. "And the ones who received the rebound from King Dragarion are at Diamond. Han and who is probably his sister, will have to wait longer."

Ren had moved his eyes down while explaining and thinking, then he looked up again directly at Luna’s eyes.

"But there’s something I can do right now."

The crystal in Luna’s hands began to change.

Slowly, from the center outward, like something nearly extinguished finding a source of energy it recognized. The warmth built gradually and then was simply bigger, the same warmth Luna associated with early childhood, with her mother’s hand on her forehead during fever when the fever was still high and then, suddenly, wasn’t. The warmth that had always meant you were going to be fine.

Luna’s eyes opened wider.

"Your mother’s crystal has the Celestial Tiger’s system form very clearly ingrained," said Ren. The effort was audible in his words, but it wasn’t too much yet. "Relatively simple compared to what I had to work through with Selphira and Victor. I don’t need to reverse anything here, I just need to understand the structure and use neutral mana to fill the gaps. The damage from when the energy was spent can be repaired and the energy refilled that way."

The most visible crack in the crystal closed halfway.

The light went up one degree.

Only one degree. But it was a degree that hadn’t been there thirty seconds ago.

Ren released the space around it, lowering his hands. He was sweating slightly, his breathing carrying the weight of someone who has done something that looks small but isn’t small in any way.

"I can finish it slowly," he said, "a few sessions, so I don’t pass out and keep delaying our ’date’." He looked at her. "Or I can fuse now and finish it in a little while."

Then Luna threw herself forward. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
