It took Laex an entire day to wake up. He was too weak at the moment, so Krune and the others helped him recover. Around a week later, he finally could move normally. However, it would take another two weeks for Lex to go back to his peak state.
As expected, Laex wanted to try using the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl straight away. Krune, of course, stubbornly denied. It didn't matter how many times he asked, Krune did not relent. He didn't even show the Purple Flame Dragon Pearl to him.
Finally, three weeks went by, and Laex could be said to be back to his peak state.
"Give me, give me! Let me see it."
Krune sighed and finally took out the Pearl. As soon as Laex saw it, he felt the connection between his Dragon Blood and the Pearl. But before passing it over, Krune warned.
"If you feel like you are losing control over your energy, immediately cancel the fusion, understood?"
Laex nodded vigorously.
