James felt a jolt of electricity.
However, instead of feeling excruciating pain, he felt rather comfortable.
“Next, the temple.”
Maxine took a deep breath.
The True Energy inside her body had been greatly depleted after the first needle.
She grabbed a second needle and inserted it into James’ temple, which depleted more of her True Energy. The needle seemed to be capable of automatically absorbing one’s True Energy.
“The third needle to the right temple.”
Maxine did as she was instructed.
After eleven needles, her True Energy was completely drained. Wearing a pale face, she said, “I can’t continue… I’ve depleted too much of my True Energy. I can’t summon any more.”
“Mhm.”
James nodded.
He knew that using the Crucifier would severely deplete one’s True Energy. Besides, the more needles one inserted, the more depleted one’s True Energy would be.
“You can pull them out now.”
After pulling the needles out, Maxine sat in a lotus position to restore her True Energy.
Though James was feeling much better now, he still had a long way to go before regaining his True Energy.
Being at the second rank, Maxine could only insert a limited number of needles. As such, it would take roughly half a month for James to reach his peak.
If Tobias was the one inserting the needles, James could perhaps restore his True Energy within a single session.
However, he could not trust Tobias and did not want him to learn of his secret.
The same went for Maxine. She was a Caden who stayed by Tobias’ side at all times. However, James had no other options as he could not find anyone else.
Now, he could stand and even get dressed.
He put away the Crucifier.
