Novel Full Chapter 240 Recovery
Vale didn’t notice the changes in Cressida’s eyes as his attention was on his right arm.
If in case his Incorruptible Body could no longer deal with the foreign substance that was rotting his body, he would have to use his Spell Dispersion to quickly erase it in his body.
“Hmm? I think that the Psychic stopped chasing us.” Vale commented after realizing that the man wearing that blue coat had disappeared from his Magic Zone.
“That’s good to hear. I sent four of my Banshee to sacrifice their lives. It was a warning to that person, and he probably realized that he’ll be in huge trouble if he continued on his chase.” Cressida calmly answered as she looked ahead.
They didn’t stop moving even after this discovery until they reached a small village.
The village was quite lively because there were a lot of children playing outside their houses. To be honest, Vale was actually quite impressed by these villages in the nearby mountains and forests. Although they were all using Thatched Houses, they mainly were two-storey, and all looked beautiful with their green sandstone brick as their walls.
They don’t seem to be poor families living here, and their place seems more like vacation houses for the rich.
“Stop right there…” As soon as they reached the vicinity of the village, someone in the village immediately stopped them.
It was as expected since not many people travel around this area. Even if there were, they wouldn’t be coming from the forest but from the opposite side.
“We’re travelers and we need your help. We’ve come here to see a doctor. My friend here has been cursed in the forest.” Cressida said with her most gentle, pleading, and attractive voice.
The man, who was planning to collect some fees, immediately abandoned his idea as he allowed Cressida and Vale to meet their village’s physician. He was easily mesmerized by the woman’s beauty as he offered his help to escort them into the village.
“I don’t need to be checked up, Cressida. I’m fine.” Vale whispered as they followed the man.
“You may be capable of suppressing the Rune, but if you want to remove it completely, you might need the help of someone from the Holy Arts Faction… The ones in the Mystic Arts and Alchemy Arts may also be capable of helping you, but you won’t find them in the places around here.”
“Is that so…” Vale could only nod as he also thought that he might’ve missed something. This was the first time he fought against Runecasters after all.
They use magical texts to trigger some magical abilities and the Rotting Rune on his arm might have some other abilities that he wasn’t aware of.
Soon, Vale and Cressida were brought to a house that had a strong scent of medicine.
Without a doubt, they arrived at the only clinic in the village.
“Doctor Bennett! I brought you some clients!” The middle-aged man, who brought them here, called out in a loud voice.
“Let them in… and don’t shout! I have a patient here!” The doctor shouted back, which made Vale and Cressida look at each other.
After being gestured to enter, the two no longer hesitated and entered the house.
Of course, Vale remained vigilant as his Phantasm State was activated once again. With only a couple of minutes of cooldown, he has no problems using it multiple times a day.
He then found three people inside the house. Two were Arcane Arts Practitioners, and the other was just an average person sleeping in one room.
Holy Arts Practitioner with 6 filled Spell Lights.
Holy Arts Practitioner with 1 filled Spell Light.
‘Hmm… They’re indeed Holy Arts Practitioners. I guess they weren’t as rare as I thought.’ Vale mused as he thought that people who were practicing this Art would be difficult to find.
It turns out that aside from the Holy Arts Academy, their faction also has other methods to teach their followers.
Soon, the two were introduced to the doctor and his apprentice.
Doctor Bennet looked at Vale and Cressida with interest as if he realized their identity.
“My friend here was attacked by a Runecaster… It’s the Flesh-Rotting Rune. Can you do something about it?” Cressida immediately asked as she found a chair to sit on.
“Ah? You’re still alive? How long has it been?” The doctor curiously asked as he signaled to his apprentice to bring him his tools.
“Less than 10 minutes.” Vale replied.
This confused the doctor even more as he hastily checked the Rune on Vale’s arm.
“It’s indeed the Flesh-Rotting Rune… You’re actually capable of suppressing it… Is it through a Mystical Artifact? Did you complete a Sealing Ritual?” The doctor asked as he gestured for Vale to sit on the patient’s bed.
Vale followed his instructions as he replied.
“It’s a little trick I learned in the Academy. Can you completely remove it?” 𝙡𝓪.𝒄
At this time, he noticed that his Incorruptible Body’s Spell Model had already been satisfied and stopped fluctuating wildly.
“A trick? A defensive spell? Anyway, I can remove it for only 450 zen… For some reason, this Rune appears to have weakened a lot. The caster was probably a newbie so you’re lucky. If you got hit by an Intermediate or Advanced Realm Rune Arts, you wouldn’t last this long.”
The doctor said as he even calculated the fee for his service.
“Isn’t that a bit too expensive?” Vale asked curiously. The price the doctor gave was similar to the four months’ income of a factory worker in the city. This was certainly quite expensive.
Although he had plenty of cash, it didn’t mean he no longer cared how he spent them.
“It’s for the medicine I’ll give you. Here, take this pill.” The doctor said as he handed over a gray pill to him.
“It can repair your damaged skin and muscles… Normal pills don’t work on Arcane Arts Practitioners so they’re all expensive.” He added after seeing Vale’s doubtful eyes.
In the end, Vale could only receive the pill. After consuming it, the doctor also used a Holy Arts Spell that could cure diseases or wounds. It didn’t take long before his right arm recovered and the Rune Character disappeared.
“Alright… You can leave now. I suggest that you find a place to stay for the night. This village is safe and that Runecaster won’t dare to follow you here.”
“Thank you, Doctor Bennett.”
Vale was curious why he was so confident about it but decided not to ask too many questions.
After paying and thanking the doctor, Vale and Cressida quickly found a place to stay.
However, at this moment, Vale was warned by his Dark Spirit.
“The strange crows are back…”
