Angel was taken aback: "95%? Has it regressed?"
As he was thinking this, Frode's state of decay continued to regress, 94%, 93%, 92%... and quickly fell back to around 90%.
Then, it paused at this point for about ten minutes and continued to fall.
This time the descent was rapid, 90%, 80%, 70%... like a vertical drop, reaching the bottom before Angel could react.
When the numeric values in the digitized view reached 0%, all signs of decay on Frode's body disappeared, returning him to a normal soul state.
Seeing this scene, Angel was basically assured: it was stable now.
Once the decay vanished, there were essentially no more difficulties. All that was left was a gradual process, slowly metabolizing the death energy within until the first soul trick could be piled up.
A day later, the death energy in Frode's body was almost consumed, but he still hadn't awakened.
