A portion of Level 1 Life Essence from an Ancient Fairy unexpectedly brought Duke a 1.1 spirit increase, which was somewhat beyond his expectations, and the effect was even better than imagined.
His Life Force also increased somewhat; however, given his young age and already vigorous Life Force, he couldn't feel any obvious change in the moment.
Duke put down the empty bottle and looked at the others.
Leon had already finished three bottles and was closing his eyes to digest, his face showing a satisfied expression.
Edmond was still wrestling with his first bottle, taking a sip and resting for a while, as if savoring some fine wine.
Marcus and the others took out their portions and carefully consumed them.
Vera didn't drink; she stood at the edge of the camp, facing away from everyone, looking into the distant darkness, lost in thought.
Moonlight fell on her, outlining a cold silhouette.
Duke withdrew his gaze, took out another bottle, and popped the wooden cork.
