Asher returned to Alyssa, with half of his nano armor covered in murky red blood.
"What happened?" Alyssa stood up and asked.
"I just met some Hyelthers," Asher said.
"Are you done eating?" he asked.
"Yeah, I have recovered most of my mana," Alyssa replied.
The food they received was specially enriched with mana and other nutrients that not only helped them recover their mana but also replenished their energy.
Alyssa followed Asher as he walked forward. For her, Asher was strange. Unlike others, he didn't hate her, but he also didn't try to get along with her like Venessa did.
She came to the spot where Asher had defeated the three Hyelthers, and she could see blood on the ground, some of which had dried up due to the heat. Alyssa was using her mana to actively protect her body from the heat, and Asher was doing the same, but he was utilizing aura instead of mana.
