Back at the tunnel, Rean simply used his Light Bending Skill to conceal their presence inside while Xian did the same with his shadow energy. But before he captured another mindless Umbra, Rean had to ask something else. "Xian, everything in this place is made of this black structure. You said the structures were made of Umbras, just like you. How did it even happen?"
Xian was still weak. "Just... give me a few hours. I need to recover a little of shadow energy."
"Oh! Sorry! Yes, go ahead. We will wait." Rean felt like an idiot for stopping the guy.
Just like before, Xian used his hand to attract another shadow, capturing it and starting to absorb its energy, trying to resist the pain. The process was slow as always, but ultimately, eleven hours later, he finished.
"Again!" Rean didn't let Xian stop, though. "You need many of these to really be out of danger, don't you? Just keep doing it. We will wait until we recover to the same level you did when you helped Roan."
