Chapter 43
Life is not a life if you are not living. Living and being alive is not the same. Being alive is just like… avoiding death. A life that is dull.. Can it even be classified as… life?
With my eyes letting out a small glow, I can easily see the part of Kiel's body that have wound. It was glowing read.
As my hand touches the red part, it was as if I was able to move it. There, my hand seems to sip out the wound out of his body. But… the red glowing thing crawl in my hand and soon, a warm patch of unknown thing was placed in my back. The very same place on where Kiel's wound is.
“Ah—”
Letting out a small sound as I now feel the pain… I had no idea this was what Kiel is feeling a while ago. It was as if my flesh are being ripped and so.
“Life's… fortune…”
As soon as I let out those words, the pain disappears like it was never there. But… the pain that I felt… indeed, it was the pain that Kiel feels just now…
“Brother Ethan… are you alright?”
“Yeah…”
I said as I had a sweat forming on my face. I had no idea that I would feel what he felt… but…
“How was your would?”
“The pain was gone… it disappeared”
Pulling up his shirt, he remove the patch that I put in there. To his surprise, as he touch his back, there was no wound at all. It was as if.. He never had one in the first place.
“It seems like it works…”
I smiled and go to where Migo was. I did the same thing just like what I did just now. But… his pain was nothing compared to Kael's.
“Life's Fortune”
Maybe he just felt fatigue after what happened. It was lucky that his wounds are not that bad. It was all shallow and not deep.
“Life's fortune”
As for Kheina, as soon as he wounds disappeared, I can see how her sleep became more relaxed. Patting their head, it was lucky that they didn't gain serious injury like what happened to Saypher
And now… I was left in this last person I must treat. Buying a potion to replenish my stamina and hp, it did took lots of my hp just to heal those three. Maybe I should also prepare another bottle just in case.
Saypher's state can be classified as not good. Even his face shows that he was in pain. He didn't even had the chance to talk with us when he coughed. Maybe he did think that taking a rest would be much ideal to be done than talk with us while he was in pain
“Brother Ethan…”
Looking at Kiel, he seems to say something but didn't continue his words
“Nothing…”
Maybe I should just ask him after I treated Saypher.
Looking at him, I had no idea that he can be in this state. The first time we met, it was the time I get out of the great whale piranha… he looks strong there as he charged to where the dinosaur was. He was indeed strong… suited for the protagonist of this game…
I just noticed it now but… protagonists also do have a hard time. Not because they are op, they have their way easy…
Even though he can take lives of the monsters as he pleases… not all enemies are easy to handle. For in some scenarios, there are things that we can never expect to happen.
Maybe it wasn't just me… maybe those three kids also saw how hardworking he was to keep his track on his dream. On his goal… to find the truth… to have answers about this world…
Saypher was amazing… I wonder if I can even do thing such as that…
It it was me, I would surely had my way on the easy road. After all, I did think about going in other place just to not be burdened by the problems that may arise…
I… am indeed a coward…
Not like them who is strong
I am a coward… who was running away from his fears…
I am even reckless… thinking that things would go the way I wanted it to be…
Hah…
“You saved me multiple times already… maybe it is now the time for me to give back all the help you have done. We are all good after this… alright?“
With me starting to chant, ”Glimpse of Life“ I did saw his whole back having that red glowing light. There are also some in other parts of his body
So that is why he was acting like that… his whole body was in pain…
Can I even handle the pain?
Hah… here I am again… acting coward like this…
Shaking my head, I need to be strong. There is nothing to be afraid of. The pain would be gone as long as I say the chant for removing those wounds.
Alright…
My heart was beating fast
Have you ever had this feeling? It was as if I was waiting for a train to come so that I can jump
The red glowing light can be seen moving as I manipulate it using my hands. I was set focus on Saypher as I can't have my self be distracted and lose my focus
Now now…
I took a deep breathe after welcoming the pain in my body. It was lucky of me that I was sitting in this chair or else, for sure… my knees would already collapse
”C—cough—“
I tried to suppress my cough. The system of my body started to feel the pain I forced into me. My insides are in mess. It was as if some iron was pressed into my organs. By heartbeat pumps faster… way way much faster than what it was a while ago. My back, I would wish for it to become numb and all.
”Brother Ethan!“
Kiel shouted in concern but I can utter no words. It was so overwhelming that it was as if anytime.. I would lose my consciousness
Holding the side of Saypher's bed as I had my had grip it tight, I can't lose focus on my mind. I need to say those words…
I need to say those words…
My mind was going blank, every second that I felt it, it was as if I was being tortured in hell
Those bites on my back hurts and stings so bad. It was all itchy that I would die if I don't scratch it. It was as if some weird small creatures are crawling up my skin… eating my flesh like it was a feast…
My mind was so hazy…
I need to say it now… hurry… Ethan say that damn words!!
”l— life… s… “ each breathing I make, it was as if my hp would fall down to zero
Will I die again? If I do so… will there still be a bug to make be be alive?
I can't die yet… my sister… I still need to… find my.. Sister….
”Fort—“
I can do it… no… even if I can't… I… must… do… it…
Say it…
Ethan…
Say it…
”tune!“
