Chapter 461 Losing Strength

After unleashing this earth-shattering attack, Lin Xiyue seemed to have all her strength drained away. Her body suddenly went limp, and like a doll that had lost its support, she crashed straight into the other side of Moros's arms.

Melos reacted quickly, reaching out to stop her and then holding her tightly in his arms.

Lin Xiyue's body completely lost control, and she leaned limply against Molos's chest, unable to muster any strength.

Her hand hung limply in the air, trembling slightly, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

Sweat poured from her forehead, nose, and neck like a burst dam, soaking her clothes.

Lin Xiyue struggled to lift her head, wanting to tell Moros that she was just exhausted and that he shouldn't worry.

However, she found that her throat was so dry that she could not make a sound, and her lips trembled slightly involuntarily, making it impossible for her to utter a complete word.

She could only communicate with Meros through her eyes, hoping he would understand what she meant.

"Hey, system, what's going on here?"

"I feel like I don't even have the strength to move a finger, I'm like a lump of mud. Please explain this to me!"

Lin Xiyue anxiously called out to the system in her mind.

[Uh... well... I think I mentioned this before...]

The system's voice became even softer, like a mosquito's hum, as if it itself knew the question was difficult to answer.

Lin Xiyue couldn't help but feel annoyed. She was already so weak, yet the system was still trying to dodge her questions!

"Don't play dumb with me!"

"Tell me quickly, how long will this state of exhaustion last?"

Lin Xiyue roared in her heart.

[Well... I can't say for sure... It could take a few hours, or it could take a whole day...]

The system remained silent for a moment before finally replying cautiously.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiyue felt a chill run down her spine.

A whole day? Doesn't that mean she can only lie in Meros's arms like a useless person all day, unable to do anything?

Why didn't you say so sooner!

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I definitely wouldn't have used up all my energy at once!"

Lin Xiyue was furious.

[I...I didn't expect it to be this serious...Besides, the situation was urgent, and you didn't have any other choice...]

The system also felt somewhat guilty, and it mumbled something.

Lin Xiyue knew that what the system said made sense. At that time, she was indeed forced by the situation to use all her strength.

But this result is really hard for her to accept.

"Is there any way to help me recover faster?"

"I can't really lie in Meros's arms all day, can I? That would be a huge hindrance, especially since this isn't normal, we're in danger."

Lin Xiyue asked.

[Hmm...you could try meditating to see if it speeds up energy recovery. However, I can't guarantee how effective it will be...]

The system thought for a moment and then said.

"How long do I need to meditate?"

Lin Xiyue sighed helplessly; it seemed she had no choice but to try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

She closed her eyes and began to try to enter a meditative state, hoping to recover some strength as soon as possible.

[(⊙o⊙)…I don't know either, it depends on your body's recovery ability.]

[I've roughly estimated that, for a normal man, it would take at least a day to fully recover from this level of exhaustion. Since you're already physically weak, it might take even longer.]

The system said helplessly that it could only give a rough estimate based on experience.

"Oh?! I feel so awful. QAQ"

Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue deflated like a punctured balloon, losing all her energy.

She could only silently complain to the system in her mind, her voice so low that only she could hear it.

At the same time, Moros, who had been observing Lin Xiyue's condition from the side, felt a tightness in his heart upon seeing this scene.

He instinctively hugged Lin Xiyue tighter, as if trying to make her more comfortable.

Immediately afterwards, Meros's gaze fell on the still blinding white light in front of him, and then looked at Lin Xiyue, who was slumped in his arms.

His brow furrowed slightly, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he subconsciously thought of the system in Lin Xiyue's mind.

Without hesitation, Meros lowered his head and stared directly into Lin Xiyue's eyes, as if he could see the system hidden deep in her mind through her beautiful eyes.

"What exactly did you do?"

His gaze was exceptionally sharp, fixed on the system, and then he asked without any politeness.

The system felt a chill run down its spine as it was stared intently at by Meros's sharp gaze. Instantly, it broke out in a cold sweat, as if every pore on its body had opened up and sweat was pouring out like a burst dam.

[Uh... I, I really didn't do anything! I just helped the host aim a little, really, you have to believe me! QAQ]

The system's voice trembled slightly as it desperately tried to explain while secretly praying that Meros would believe it and not have any bad thoughts about it.

After all, it didn't want to be punished by Meros for such a trivial matter.

However, Meros was clearly not so easily persuaded. His eyes remained piercing as he stared intently at the system, as if trying to see through its surface to its truest thoughts.

"So what exactly happened?"

Meros's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion, yet the oppressive force it contained was impossible to ignore.

[This is a side effect of using a superpower card, causing her body to become exhausted. The host's constitution is already rather average, so it will likely take at least a day for her to recover somewhat.]

The system shuddered in fright and quickly explained.

[This is really just a minor side effect; it won't have a significant impact on the host's body. A good rest will restore it.]

The system was afraid that it hadn't explained things in enough detail and that Meros wouldn't believe it, so it quickly added more details.

After hearing the system's explanation, Meros's doubts lessened somewhat.

He looked down at Lin Xiyue in his arms and saw that her eyes were closed, her face was as pale as paper, and she looked very weak.

"Okay. Baby, I'll take care of the rest. You get some rest."

Moros's voice suddenly softened as he gently stroked Lin Xiyue's hair and spoke softly to her.
