Chapter 555: Helping Everlight
"You're bleeding. Wait here," Amaryll quickly ran outside the hall to access her space ring. Meanwhile, Michael's blood dripped to the ground droplet by droplet through his broken knuckles. Knight could even see some broken bones sticking out of his fist.
Still, Michael grasped the shield tightly.
"I didn't think this room had a void array,"
Knight creased his brows after hearing Michael's calm words,
"You're familiar with the void effect?" asked Knight,
"Hmm," Michael nodded and signaled Ken to grab the parchment upon the red cloth.
"Then tell me Ghost?" Knight began to circle Michael, and every step Knight took had the king's grace.
"Have you ever met the cannibals?"
Seeing the frown on Michael's face, Knight rephrased his question,
"Have you ever met skinless ugly as fuck creatures?"
"Met them, killed them, burnt them," Michael said indifferently,
"They use these arrays to make the atmosphere void of any energies,"
"Not only them," Michael interjected Knight,
"From where I come from, there is a dormant hydra. An entire continent has been void of any energy because of that hydra. And I have a feeling you know who might be the boss of that hydra,"
Knight stopped circling as Amaryll entered the room again with a blood-red potion in her hand,
"Here, gulp this down,"
"It won't work,"
Michael and Knight said the same thing at the same time,
"What?" Since Amaryll wasn't very familiar with void arrays and their effects, she looked at Michael and Knight, creasing her brows,
"My lord," Ken took a step forward and handed over the parchment to Michael, but he couldn't lift his hand to take the parchment,
[Conversion has been completed]
[Does the host wish to nullify the void array's effects on yourself?]
[It would cost the host 30,000 badass points]
"Yes"
Following his acceptance, Michael felt an acute pain all over his pain. However, the pain soon began to lessen as Michael felt his power returning to him.
"Grrrmm," Michael cracked his neck and shoulder as Knight noticed his bloody fist slowly healing back to its previous state,
"You're immune?" Knight was surprised,
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 10000 badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 15000 badass points]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully being a badass. The reward is 12000 badass points]
Michael immediately earned back his 30,000 badass points by impressing everyone in the hall. Ken had read about the legendary Ghost, the otherworlder, and his power, but only now had he seen it with his eyes.
He broke the void array like it was nothing.
"The hydra in my world and the one that appeared in Reghys's dream might be the same. A general of the queen,"
As soon as Knight heard Michael's last words, his heart skipped a beat. The others' faces turned pale in an instance,
"So you're all familiar with the Queen?"
Michael's gaze swept across the room as Knight sighed,
"More than we want to. What's in that parchment?" Knight looked at the parchment in Ken's hands. Now that APD had healed Michael's hands, he took the parchment from Ken's hand.
Ghost, if you're reading this, it means you have arrived at Don's universe.
So do yourself a favor by helping them. We need allies to fight the enemies we will face in the future. So make them yourself an ally to Don and Knight.
M
Michael read what was written on the parchment in his mind.
"M? Could it be Michael? Did I write myself a letter? Make sense," After reading the letter, Michael's mood improved. It's slowly becoming apparent to Michael that his future self was an OP god.
Michael felt glad that he was on the right track to becoming stronger. If he hadn't taken the risk of coming to meet Sabrina, he wouldn't have traveled across universes, meeting new people and getting more information about him and his enemies.
"Knight!"
Before Knight could get his answer from Michael, Catalie interjected,
"We better go see this," Catalie's voice was grave.
Knight slowly turned his gaze towards Catalie,
"It's important," Catalie frowned, and seeing her grave reaction, Knight raised his brows,
"Come with us," Knight said to Michael. Instead of following him behind, Michael wanted to inspect his new shield and the room for a few more moments. However, he was teleported away from the room by Catalie in a blink of an eye.
After being teleported by Catalie, Michael's vision turned blurry. The effect lasted a few seconds until his vision finally cleared. As soon as he could see everything clearly, he noticed an elf lying in a bed, all bloody and injured.
It seemed to Michael that someone hacked and slashed the elf. There was no black armor covering the elf, so Michael could even see the cuts on his body and even a little bit of his insides.
"KOTAR!" Amaryl shouted as she dashed at the elf.
Michael patiently looked around the infirmary to see countless comfy beds in neat lines and several men and women running around the hall carrying trays. Probably with healing potions and medications.
Amaryll immediately forced a healing potion down Kotar's throat, but unlike she expected, the potion did not heal him.
"We are losing him, Lady Amaryll,"
"He was cut by the corroded blade," Knight came beside Kotar and stared at the cuts on his body,
"No healing potion can save him. Keep giving him life energy using the apex and put him with the others," Although Knight was burning in anger, he did not show it in his voice. Only Michael and Catalie noticed the anger in his eyes,
"What's this?"
Knight raised his paw and pulled something out of Kotar's pocket.
"General Knight," after sensing the air around the get chillier, Ken reluctantly called Knight,
"They have Yuki,"
Michael had no idea who Yuki was or what she was to them. However, by looking at their shocked reactions, Michael understood she was someone important to Everlight.
"What?!" Amaryll shouted,
"The cannibals have Yuki," Amaryll's rosy face instantly lost its color and became pale. She shivered as her eyes watered,
"No…no…no…we have to save her…we must…,"
Amaryll's tears gushed out of her eyes. She couldn't even imagine what the cannibals would do to Yuki if they didn't save her.
"They want Don to come to the withered forest. Alone,"
A dark purple flame engulfed the bloody piece of paper in Knight's hands as silence occupied the hall until Michael decided to follow the rods of his future self.
"Step aside," Michael gently pushed aside Amaryll and stepped towards Kotar.
The elf on the bed lost so much blood. Hence, Kotar looked pale, yet when Michael looked closer, he saw dark veins spreading out from the cuts. Kotar tried to say something but every time he opened his mouth, only a white form escaped his mouth.
"System scan his body,"
Michael paid five thousand badass points to scan Kotar's body.
"What are you doing?" Knight asked when he saw Michael place his hand on Kotar's chest,
"Curing him,"
Michael did not take his hand off Kotar for a few moments.
"Can..can you cure him?" Amaryll finally broke the silence. Amaryll had seen many of her people enter a state of coma after being cut by the corroded blades. Although they were keeping them alive using Apex, there was no certainty they would wake up from their coma. In simple words, they were as good as dead without a cure.
Instead of immediately answering Michael, he took out a piece of paper and a quill from his storage and began to write.
"If you can get me these things, I can cure him," Michael stunned everyone in the hall. Those who were running around the hall suddenly halted their steps in shock.
At that moment, every pair of eyes was on Michael.
"My lord," Ken's hand shivered as he took the list from Michael,
"Ken," Knight's words quickly snapped Ken out of his stunned state,
The old man quickly eyed the list for a few moments,
"We can get everything in the list from our gardens but,"
"No buts, go get him those,"
Catalie threw a glance at Michael before vanishing into thin air along with uncle Ken leaving Amaryll and Knight with Michael.
"This will keep him from dying until I cure him," Michael took out a healing potion from his system storage. The one Amaryll gave Kotar was a crimson red potion, while the potion in Michael's hand was sparkling blue.
"This is a healing potion from my world," Michael said, slowly pouring the potion into Kotar's mouth. Since Knight trusted Ghost, he let Ghost give the potion to Kotar.
Just a few seconds after Michael emptied the potion into Kotar's mouth, the white form finally stopped coming out of Kotar's mouth. In addition, Amaryll noticed Kotar's breathing had turned normal.
"Kotar. Kotar, can you hear me? It's Amaryll. Squeeze my hand if you can hear me," Amaryll sat beside Kotar on the bed and brushed his head gently,
She was elated when Kotar squeezed her hand, and Knight noticed it.
"You really think you can cure him?" Knight asked without showing any hope in his eyes or tone. However, deep down, Knight wanted some hope to revive all his men.
Although Don had a plan to fight the corroded blades, it was extremely risky, and Knight hated putting Don's life at risk more than anything.
"I don't think. I know,"
"Cure them, and you can consider Everlight your allies, including Don and me,"
"It's a deal then," Michael extended his arm as Knight closed his eyes for a moment. In a blink of an eye, Michael saw the lion turning into a dashing golden-haired youngster wearing black armor similar to Don's. It was Knight's human form.
"Hmm," Knight nodded and gave Michael a firm handshake.
"My Lord,"
A few minutes later, Catalie and Ken appeared in the room, and Ken carried a bucket filled with colorful herbs and various weird-shaped ingredients in it.
After taking a glance at the contents of the bucket, Knight frowned,
"These are low-grade herbs and ingredients,"
"You guys should step back. It's gonna get hotter in here,"
Michael smirked, raising his hand. Then, under their curious gazes, Michael conjured his alchemy flames.
"You are an Alchemist?" Catalie asked out loud the question that emerged in everyone's minds.
"The best,"
