"Could I use this to get up there?"
Taking damage while ascending was certainly a nuisance.
But if he could recover health while taking damage, the two would cancel each other out as long as he got the timing right.
Maeve demonstrated this too: she always ate while she fought.
The more Elliot thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
In the brief time he had paused, he could already feel that he had recovered quite a bit.
He turned to look at the monsters beside him. They were injured just as he was, but they were clearly recovering much more slowly.
Partly because they had no blood bags to restore their health, and partly because they had to serve as blood bags for him to draw blood from.
Elliot raised his head and looked at the densely packed monsters above.
White Light Spots were slowly emerging from their bodies too, drifting toward him.
It was just that they were farther away, so the motes needed time to drift over, causing a slight delay.
"So that means if I ascend with a group of Lords of Dreams, I can recover health while losing it?"
Elliot looked up in delighted surprise.
If his estimate was right, as long as there were enough Lords of Dreams, he could make it all the way up.
"Too bad I won't be able to bring Elsa up this way. I'll have to let her... hmm?"
But when Elliot looked at Elsa, he suddenly stopped.

Sure enough, quite a few motes
