Ace was about to make a trip down to the small world as Noir again when he saw how the lich fell unconscious. Ark was preparing the spell needed when Phil told them to wait.
"He's waking up now," he told them.
None of the Gods could believe their eyes when they saw how fast the lich recovered. Actually, the rate that Rino was recovering could be considered terrifying. It surpassed any human limits and logical explanation until Stephanie noticed something.
"Dammit! He made that tree his spare body!" Stephanie hissed in a spiteful tone, although her eyes sparkled with excitement at the incredulous feat.
The aura around the lich was very different now. If he was like the walking embodiment of someone who murdered hundreds before, he was now emitting an aura of the grim reaper who harvested the souls of every fallen warrior. Rino looked like someone right out from the legends, and even the Gods felt awed by what he achieved.
