Chapter 2517 Something Wasn't Right

?"Wait, you are saying you don't remember reaching the Altar at all? You are not trying to make fun of us, right?" Rean asked from the other side. He couldn't see Aelrie very well, so it was hard to tell if she was lying from such a distance.

"I'M NOT!" Aelrie was already losing her patience. "Why don't you two believe me? I'm telling you, all I can remember was Kentucky leaving me behind and suddenly coming back. I've not seen the Altar at all!"

Rean narrowed his eyes. "Kentucky, didn't you two pass by the Altars before we met for the first time? Did the same thing happen back then?"

Kentucky shook his head. "It didn't. However, we weren't intending to use the Altar, so we didn't really get close to it. This time, when Aelrie left my back, we were several times closer to it than when we just passed by."

Rean nodded. "Seems like some kind of effect that activates when she gets too close to the Altar. Kentucky, I want you and Aelrie to try something. Go back to the Altar, and this time, when she tries to fly away, hold her with your Divine Energy and try to force her to use the Altar."

"What?!" Aelrie was taken aback. "Is there a need for such methods?"

Rean didn't really care. "If you have a better idea, go ahead and tell me. If not, just go back and let Kentucky help you. Kentucky, I will wait here. If I feel that you suddenly teleported far away, I will know you went back. If it doesn't work, just come back here."

Aelrie wanted to say something. She didn't need to think much to understand that she had died in this place before, while Kentucky and Rean didn't. She thought that her sudden loss was connected to this fact. No, in fact, she didn't just lose her memories of approaching the Altar. She even gained new memories of things that had never happened before. Of course, it could also be that Kentucky and Rean were lying to her, and what she thought happened really happened. It's just that she didn't feel it was the case.

Kentucky didn't hold back this time. This change in the situation was giving him the creeps, so he immediately took Aelrie and flew at his maximum speed to the previous Altar. Thanks to that, he got there in less than a minute.

That didn't last for long, though. Rean's Instant Recovery was unparalleled in the world of healing skills. Not to mention, Aelrie's cultivation was much lower than Kentucky's. In a matter of a few seconds, her body had already recovered more than 80%.

"Kentucky, stop the healing." Rean knew his skill very well, so he told Kentucky to stop.

Kentucky, obviously, did as Rean said and just asked back. "Why?"

"Let Aelrie wake up and see her state. Otherwise, she might think we were lying once again since her memories were altered last time," Rean explained.

"Oh!" Kentucky had to admit that was a good idea. He then checked her body with his Divine Sense by touching her body and making sure she wasn't at any risk. "She will feel quite some pain when she wak-"

"Ahhhh! What the hell?! It hurts like hell!"

Kentucky didn't even finish saying that when Aelrie suddenly woke up and felt the pain from her injuries. Aelrie wasn't a kid, though. As soon as she noticed her injuries, she calmed down and focused her Divine Energy on her wounds, trying to heal herself. At the same time, she looked at Kentucky. "Why... am I like this?"

Kentucky bitterly smiled before touching her back with his wing. Right after, he activated Rean's Instant Recovery Skill again, finishing the job. "Do you believe me if I said you were almost dead a moment ago? I only healed around 80% of your body, more or less. I left the rest of the injuries intact so that you could see it yourself."

Aelrie was shaken by Kentucky's healing skill. Yet, what truly caught her attention was the fact she couldn't remember when it happened. "Just... what happened?"

Kentucky nodded and began to explain to both Aelrie and Rean on the other side the previous events. "And that's how Aelrie became like that."

Aelrie completely forgot the pain from a moment ago. Now, she was truly scared out of her mind. Even if Rean didn't say anything, she knew something wasn't right with her body and soul.
