Chapter 65: After the Battle

[Arena will now close. Participant and host, Zieglind Reysh, will now be transported back to Pandir.]

"Everything... Damn it... DAMN IT!" Everything is broken. Each time I move in pain, all the bones hit each other piercing my inner muscles. My passive is slowly healing my body but it's not enough. My insides are either toasted by the lightning or my bones are giving up because of the armor trying to eat me.

I began healing myself with heals. It couldn't keep up with the damage. It could heal my outside wounds but not so much on the inside.

"..." I passed out.

Few hours later, I woke up inside of a house. I didn't recognize it but it looks so fancy. I got out of bed and stood up. I couldn't feel any pain. I checked my status and my mana is back at full. "Level 100? I finally reached it. But... No message as the first one saying that someone reached level 100? Hmm... This might be trouble." It means that there is an unknown number of players over level 100 since that message only appears once.

"Zieglind?" I could hear a female voice in the corner carrying a bucket of water and some towels.

"Hey there Precia." It was none other than her.

She immediately ran up to me and hugged me full force. "Hey, I'm still wounded." That was just a playful joke but I hugged her back.

"Hey there!" Zeta greeted me in the corner.

All of them also greeted me. They were all in the same room. Yefa, Precia, Zeta and Greta.

"I'm guessing the one who healed me is Zeta?"

"You betcha. You drained every mana I had."

I let go of Precia and asked them what happened after I collapsed.

"Well," Yefa was the one who explained everything. "You were suddenly gone for about two hours then you reappeared with that man's dead body. We heard you screaming so we found you very easily."

"And that's where I came in." Zeta spoke. "I patched you up. You were lucky to even scream. What the hell happened when you two were gone? All of your bones were broken and all of your muscles torn and there are a lot of burn marks all over."

"Thanks Zeta. My body feels the same as before. I don't feel any pain or weirdness. You did a good job."

"Thanks, hehe."

"Anyway, where are we?"

"We're in one of the houses in Cagyer. The people here are in panic. There have been people terrorizing the place. We've laid low for a while. You've been out for 4 hours."

"Let's finish up here and we'll rush to Itz. Where's Hera's body?"

"Here." Greta entered the room and was carrying his body. "We saw you do something to other dead bodies so we thought it was important to get them."

"You've done a great job." I went up to his dead body. "Devour." Tons of skills appeared. "Woah. Tons of these are useless. I spent 10 minutes just sorting out all of the skills he had. The ones I didn't pick out was mostly focused on mind manipulation which I have no intention of using even if me against the world. I don't want to rule over fake loyalty.
