Reiji was silently observing the Armored Black Ape that was currently licking the wounds on his arms. It seems that the wounds couldn't easily be healed just by relying on his Spiritual Energy.
Reiji can feel the Ape's energy so he was sure that the beast was attempting to close those wounds just like how Diether heals himself.
"Good… Just stay like that…" He silently prayed since he wanted this to be done quickly. If he didn't finish this off instantly, he might struggle to fight against the large Ape.
Luckily, the beast wasn't in a mood to move yet due to the exhaustion from the previous battle.
"Grrr…" The Ape grumbled due to the pain from those wounds. Reiji had a sudden hunch that the sword wasn't a simple blade but it might be an Arcana or a Magic Weapon with unknown effects.
