SWDnovel Chapter 120 Recuperation
Chapter 120 Recuperation
After Yanami fell into a deep sleep on the soft bed, Klein followed the seed to transfer his soul and returned to the Black Tower once again.
The sky was already very dark, and only a few scattered stars remained on the dome, emitting a faint light.
The Black Tower itself was already very dark, and now it had completely blended into the darkness, appearing from a distance as just a blurry black shadow.
What exactly does "going to the ground" mean?
Is it just the literal meaning?
The task description seems to go beyond this; there appears to be more content that hasn't been analyzed yet, and it would be great to gain more experience points...
Taking advantage of the night when no one was around, Klein planned to explore further, hoping to make some more discoveries.
Klein returned to the spot where he had left the sapling, but the impulsive feeling he had felt earlier had indeed vanished. He stretched out his vines to explore, but nothing changed...
Try injecting magic...no change.
Metallized, then attacked... without even leaving a scratch.
It seems that's really all there is to it.
Klein didn't dwell on it too much and quickly accepted the fact, plus he had other things to do next.
To prevent the rat-like creatures from discovering it, Klein threw the sapling into a crack in the ground before leaving.
Then he transferred his soul along the seeds left behind from the plantation to the rat tribe's stronghold. Now, he was going to go back to the plantation himself.
Now, whenever they go out, no matter where they go, Klein will have Yanami leave seeds along the way so that they can be transferred at any time, and it will also make it easy for them to come back whenever they want.
Moreover, because the distance was very long, a lot of seeds were consumed along the way, and Klein's skill [Seed] seemed to be almost upgraded.
Because the seeds along the way were all in a single line, Klein didn't need to spend time locking onto the seeds himself; he could simply transfer them, so he quickly returned to the plantation.
As for why we came back, it was obviously to prepare for tomorrow's events.
Since hiring the rat tribe to dig tunnels would require charcoal from the forest as payment, Klein planned to prepare the charcoal in advance, taking advantage of the time he had at night.
Klein went straight to the lake. The lake was quiet at night, and the fishmen were fast asleep. He woke them up and sent them to the Wild Dog Forest to collect charcoal.
If the pterosaurs could help, it would be much faster, but they can't burrow into the plantation, so let's forget about it.
It's definitely necessary to connect both sides; otherwise, it's not only troublesome to travel back and forth, but also very dangerous.
Klein planned to return after arranging the work for the fishmen, and then have them hide for the time being. Hyacinth and Daisy would come to help dig the tunnel, as Klein didn't want the fishmen to be discovered by the rat tribe.
After arranging everything, Klein went to the bottom of the lake and tried to absorb the status effect on the target several times, but he failed every time.
The probability is too low, isn't it?
Without lingering, Klein followed the seed path back to the rat tribe's stronghold. In the dead of night, everyone was asleep, and no one knew anything about what had happened.
Back at the hotel, they found that Yanami had kicked off the blanket, and Klein silently covered her up again.
………………
Inside an unnamed cave, a campfire flickered, casting the shadows of two people on the wall.
Here, water.
Jokina handed over a bottle of clean water, which Cassius, who was reclining against a blanket, took.
"Ahem... Thank you."
He lifted the bottle, took a sip, and exhaled.
"How's the wound?"
"I don't think it's particularly good yet, but we should be able to have free time without any problems."
"That's good. Take good care of yourself and recover well."
After their great battle with the blue-haired witch, the Slime Slayer adventure team escaped to a large cave and temporarily resided in a small cave within it.
Cassius's injury is serious; he must recover before he can continue his journey.
Although there are healing magic and healing potions, the healing effect is only good for flesh and blood. If the bone is injured, the recovery time will be much slower.
While the team members all suffered injuries, they were mostly minor cuts and bruises. Cassius, however, had his entire chest pierced through, leaving a large hole, which would make his recovery much slower.
Cassius survived only because of the protective jade pendant that kept him alive.
After several days of rest and recuperation, Cassius's large hole in his chest had been repaired, but he still experienced severe chest pain with any movement. Therefore, they could only find a place to settle down and allow Cassius to recover slowly.
Although the recovery effect is greatly reduced, it is still much faster than natural recovery. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Cassius's entire chest was pierced. If he is treated with healing magic every day, he can be fully recovered in about twenty days.
With Cassius recovering from his injuries, the entire team also took the opportunity to regroup and adjust to their best condition before setting off again. After all, with the current surge of demonic energy, it would be easy to stumble if they didn't have enough strength.
"How's the situation outside?"
There were only two people in the small cave. Anna and the Slime Slayer explored the large cave, while the stealthy and swift Spinka went to scout.
Georgina stayed behind to look after and protect Cassius.
"The situation is not optimistic. The sudden dragon's might a few days ago has indeed made the demonic tide even more turbulent."
"Sigh... Although the dragon's might only lasted a short while before disappearing, it still terrified the other monsters."
The source of the demonic tide is the dragon's might. After the red dragon was partially unsealed, its might leaked out, causing the demons that sensed it to feel fear and migrate away from their original habitats.
Dragon's might also attract the reunion of winged serpent dragons, further intensifying the fear of other monsters.
The location of the red dragon was itself the territory of powerful monsters. The escape of these powerful monsters caused other, weaker monsters to flee as well.
As they advance step by step like ocean waves, they form a monster tide that drives countless monsters outwards.
"Moreover, the source of the Dragon's Might is indeed in the same direction as the source of the Demon Tide."
Qiao Jinna added a sentence.
The leakage of the dragon's might was not significant, so the demonic tide was not particularly turbulent.
But the dragon's might not long ago was filled with magic, and was full of anger and intimidation. Its range was so wide that it could even cover the entire demon tide, which can be said to have frantically accelerated the migration of demons.
A dragon that is unpredictable is a ticking time bomb for monsters. No monster wants to live with a bomb, right?
"So it really is related to those two, isn't it?"
Those two people refer to the two from the Sky Cult: the blue-haired witch and the mysterious man.
"Ahem... Judging from the Sky Cult's past actions, I'm afraid so. These crazy guys."
"I wonder which city we're headed to this time... Quilton?"
"It's possible, but I didn't expect that they would try to conquer a city with a barrier with just two people, and even cause a demonic tide... Although I had heard about them before, I only realized how crazy and dangerous the Sky Cult was after actually seeing them."
Cassius's expression was complex. As someone who had been pierced through the chest by the Sky Cult, he knew all too well how dangerous the Sky Cult members were.
