Aksai did not waste the precious window he had created for himself.
The moment he confirmed that Kalina had abandoned the idea of rushing him head-on, he immediately began the next phase of his plan.
There was no hesitation. He knew exactly who his opponent was. A late-stage Lord from the Shinayin Empire.
With a flick of his wrist, a small sealed jade vial appeared in his palm. He removed the sealing talisman without wasting a second.
Three different pills rested inside.
Each one had a different purpose.
Each one had been prepared for tonight.
Aksai swallowed the first pill immediately. It was the Blood Surge Pill.
The medicinal essence spread throughout his body almost instantly. His heartbeat grew stronger. Warmth flowed through every vein. His blood circulation accelerated.
Every muscle became more active. His body's natural recovery speed increased noticeably.
Aksai quietly felt the changes happening inside him. He nodded to himself.
