Gods' Impact Online

"She is fine," Aria said to Zach.

"I know that…" Zach nodded and said, "How much time would it take her to wake up?"

Aria pondered for a while as though she was calculating the time with Aurora's condition.

A few seconds later, she uttered, "It would take her at least 3 days to wake, but she would be paralyzed."

"...!"

"Her entire physique is crippled. And Honestly, it's a miracle that she is still alive. I have never seen someone in a worse condition like this…" Aria stated.

"Well, I have…" Zach muttered in a disdainful tone.

"Unlike the other injuries in this game, such as getting your body parts severed or receiving high damage, it can be easily healed since the damage received in the game doesn't affect the real body outside the game."

"However, Aurora's condition is different. As you might know, using a blessing sucks the life force, so unless you have a high physique, it is not advisable to use them for more than 3 minutes," Aria added.

"..."

"And judging by Aurora's condition, it seems she used it for more than 3 weeks… no, make it around 4 weeks. But…" Aria turned to Zach with a confused look on her face and said, "How is that possible?"

Zach smiled wryly and uttered, "Time is a simple yet complicated concept; it's easy for those who don't understand it, and hard for those who do."

"So I was right…" Aria muttered. "The blessings she received must have increased the time flow in her body."

"How much time would it take her to be able to walk and talk?" Zach asked with a curious yet calm look on his face.

"She should be able to talk properly within a week. But it would take 2 weeks for her to be able to move her body parts. However, she would need a lot of rest. And she should be completely healed in at most 6 weeks," Aria replied with a serious look on her face.

"Are you sure? Can I believe your words?" Zach asked in a solemn voice. "It's okay if you are not sure. But please, don't give me false hope."

Aria looked into Zach's eyes and said, "She would wake up in less than 6 weeks. And I know better than anyone how much Aurora means to you. So I can't dare to give you false hope."

Zach smiled wryly at Aria and patted her head as he said, "Thank you."

Aria loved to see Zach's smile, but that smile broke her heart. She could feel how sad Zach was just by looking at his face.

"Say, since her condition is like this because her physique is crippled. What if I help it cultivate?" Zach asked with a curious look on his face.

"That would increase her healing process and she would be healed sooner depending on the cultivation method," Aria responded in a calm voice. "But what would you do?"

"What if I use my essence?"

Aria furrowed her brows and said, "You want to have sex with her in this condition?"

"No. Of course not. I was talking about feeding her through the mouth."

"That still doesn't change anything. I am against you doing anything intimate with her in this condition," Aria responded in a disdainful tone.

SIGH!

Zach sighed and said, "I am talking about pills."

"Huh?"

"I will make pills of my essence and other materials that could work well with it," Zach stated.

"Oh!" Aria exclaimed and asked, "But do you know how to make pills? It is not as easy as it sounds. And there is a different method for creating different pills."

"Yeah, I know."

"And making essence pills is one of the hardest," she added.

"I will be honest, I simply read about it in the book when I was a kid. I fully don't remember the entire process," Zach uttered with a sigh.

"Don't worry about it." Aria patted Zach's back and said, "I will help you out."

"What exactly do you mean by 'I will help you out'?" Zach asked curiously. "Helping me out in making the pills? Or extracting my essence from my body?"

"How about both?" Aria replied with a short grin.

"That would truly help me out."

A few seconds later, Zach asked again: "So how much time would it take?" 

"First, I have to know how much the physique is getting cultivated with one mouthful of the essence. And then I—"

"It's 1000 physique points," Zach said instantly without wasting time. "And it resets weekly."

"1000?! That high…" Aria exclaimed.

"Is it? How much is the normal or… average?"

"It should be around 100 points." Aria pondered for a while and said, "I am calculating it based on how it used to work in ancient times. And since nowadays humans have lost the concept of magic and cultivation, it's buried deep dormant in their blood," Aria asserted.

She nodded and said, "It would take around 6-8 hours to make one essence pill. So if you feed her the pill after that…  she should wake up once her body starts absorbing it."

"And the rest…?"

"Umm... just half the time it was taking before," Aria sighed. "It would have taken less time, but you said it resets weekly so you can't feed her the essence pill until the weekends."

"Yes…" Zach sighed in relief and said, "So three weeks…"

"Are you okay?" Aria asked with an anxious look on her face. "I wanted to ask this, but…"

"Yeah, I am okay." Zach smiled at Aria and uttered, "You know, when I first saw her in this condition, I thought I wouldn't be able to be with her. But I am glad that she will wake up tomorrow, I would be able to at least talk with her."

"Either she got lucky and stopped using the blessings at the right time, or someone saved her. But yeah, she would be fine."

Zach and Aria could hear the noise of the beginning of the fifth wave.

"The hell is still not stopping?" Zach sighed.

"I think they will keep coming till the hell is emptied and there are no demons left. Or the crack to hell is fixed." 

Aria jumped off the throne and said, "I will go seal the crack."

"Can you do that outside your domain?" Zach asked.

"Don't worry about it." Aria waved at Zach and said, "The hell itself should recognize me."
