With the invading death energy blocking his automatic recovery from soul energy, Qridus wasn't healed for a few seconds until he forcibly used his soul energy to push out the death energy as well as Vesyrn.
Vesyrn blasted away for a few meters but managed to make a safe landing. On the other hand, Qridus healed himself and let out a satisfactory smile as he looked at his descendant.
After commenting on how long it has been since he was injured to such an extent, he praised, "I should say you are really worthy to be my successor, Vesyrn."
Vesyrn smiled in response and replied, "If it is someone worthy of the throne, it should be my son, Lord Qridus. I merely want to protect him and the clan until he was ready."
