After a long time, Locke finally had a little consciousness. When he slowly opened his eyes, he found himself leaning against the root of an ancient tree. Three meters away, a bonfire was slowly burning, Ares sat bored beside the bonfire.
“You are too weak.” Seeing that Locke had woken up, Ares said with a look disparagingly in his eyes.
Locke rolled his eyes. Under such a situation of serious injury, it was already very strong for him not to be slapped to pieces by Ares.
He sighed and began to check the condition of his body.
Two minutes later, Locke’s face turned pale. Although the wound in the abdomen had stopped bleeding, the small universe was empty, and there was no divine power all over his body. He closed his eyes and tried to condense his divine power, but unfortunately, the small universe was as solid as a rock, and it was extremely quiet. He couldn’t even condense any divine power.
On the contrary, the demon pattern became more powerful after a fierce battle, revealing a trace of darkness from time to time.
Now he was like an old man who was about to die, lifeless.
Was this the consequence of exploiting himself?
Locke just felt a little cold in his heart, he made himself a useless man.
“I’m a god of war. I don’t know how to heal people.” Seeing Locke’s pale face, Ares on the side seemed to have read his mind. “But I have a look, it’s just a little damaged on your foundation, and there is no problem to cure it.”
Swoosh!
Hearing this, Locke breathed a sigh of relief. His uneasiness finally eased a little. “Is there any solution now?”
Ares was stunned for a moment and then shook his head helplessly. “If my strength returns a little bit more, there will be no problem to solve this small mark.”
“Now it seems to have completely integrated with your body. If I forcefully wipe it out, your foundation will probably be hurt again. At that time, it will be difficult to completely heal it.”
Locke kept silent for a while and then nodded. He could also feel that after this battle, the demon pattern had almost completely integrated into his body. However, there was also a powerful force surrounding the demon pattern, forming a barrier that wrapped the demon pattern. He knew that it must be made by Ares to seal the dark aura.
“You don’t have to worry about it, with the help of Asclepius, you won’t have any problem.” Ares laughed and comforted him.
When Locke heard the name “Asclepius” mentioned by Ares, he was stunned and asked curiously, “How do you know that Asclepius is here?”
It seemed that he hadn’t told Ares which gods had come here.
“I can feel his breath from you. In addition to him, there are Hephaestus, Thanatos, Sleipnir, Athena, and Artemis.”
Locke was suddenly enlightened, but he noticed a trace of fear in Ares’s eyes when it came to Athena and Artemis.
Locke was an optimistic person. After a short period of disappointment, he no longer felt depressed. He planned to go back to Lister as soon as possible and find a solution to solve the internal problem of his body by asking Asclepius for help.
But before he went back, he needed to go to the Imperial Mage Academy to meet Irene. What’s more, there should be a larger teleportation site in the Catacoton Kingdom. Starting from the large teleportation site, they could return to the Grimm Kingdom faster.
It seemed that Locke had thought of something, he took out the space ring in the system space and asked, “Ares, can you help me open it?”
As he spoke, Locke threw the space ring he had gotten from the bald middle-aged man over.
Ares reached out his hand and the space ring floated steadily in front of him. After looking at it for a while, he said, “Although it was made a little rough, there seems to be a bit of space aura inside.”
Ares tapped the space ring lightly.
The space ring trembled slightly and then burst out multicolored lights.
Black objects flew out of the space ring with multicolored lights and floated in the sky.
In just a short while, a lot of things floated in the air between Locke and Ares.
Locke waved his hand and put these magic crystals, gold coins, and gold cards into the system space.
The level-8 benitoite and level-7 akahoshi meteorite were used to make the high-level magic wands and the superior ebony that emitted a dim light…
In addition to the materials that Locke had seen in the books, there were also a lot of things that looked extremely high-level. Locke waved his hand and put all these things into the system space.
What surprised Locke most was that he saw two level-8 earth magic books on a bookshelf, and at the bottom of the bookshelf, there was a level-8 thunder magic book, which should be the trophy of the bald middle-aged man.
Crack~
Locke heard a crisp cracking sound. He looked around and found that Ares was holding two dark things in his hands.
Level-8 ironwood!
Locke’s mouth twitched when he looked at the thing broken by Ares. The ironwood was said to grow in the deep sea of ten thousand meters. It was washed by the sea all year round and was hard. In terms of strength, it was not even weaker than the akahoshi meteorite.
But Ares broke it!
“I don’t think it’s worth much.” Seeing that Locke was looking at him with a strange look on his face, Ares gave a dry cough and waved his hand, he wrapped a wooden box with his divine power and sent it to Locke. He said, “The thing in this wooden box seems to be able to heal the wounds in your body.”
He was not interested in the things in front of him. Although he didn’t know these things, he could feel that these things were a little out of class.
Locke took the wooden box and opened it. Inside was a green pill.
The moment the wooden box was opened, a faint fragrance of elixir permeated the entire environment.
Locke sniffed slightly and felt the fragrance of the pill entering his body. The broken organs in his body seemed to have a tendency to heal in the fragrance.
Looking at the pill, Locke was a little surprised. Although he didn’t know what kind of pills it was, he could tell from the fragrance that it was for healing.
After figuring out the medicine’s effect, Locke no longer hesitated, grabbed the pill, and stuffed it into his mouth. To Locke’s surprise, the elixir turned into a wisp of green energy as soon as it entered his mouth. He immediately felt that a strong healing power spread to his limbs and began to repair the wounds in his body. The ferocious wound on his belly had scabbed and had a tendency to heal.
Half an hour later, Locke slowly opened his eyes, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. That pill had healed 1/4 of his wounds. However, it was a pity that this pill could only heal the wounds on his body, the small universe in his body with no immediate signs of activity. Moreover, when he moved, he would still feel a faint pain in every part of his body.
Even so, after taking the pill, Locke’s body was obviously a little more alive and less dead.
“The harvest this time is not bad, but it’s a pity that I didn’t get the dead body of the level-7 forest python.” Thinking of the dead body of the forest python that had been destroyed in the battle, Locke couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain in his heart. The bones, flesh, skins, and blood of a level-7 magical beast were all worth a lot of money.
After deciding to go to the Imperial Mage Academy first, Locke was no longer sentimental and took a little rest, he decided to set off with Ares.
However, the two of them were now in the deep mountain, and they didn’t know the direction of the capital of the Catacoton Kingdom. Fortunately, with the help of Ares, Locke didn’t have to worry about his safety. After they chose a direction, they rushed out.
At the same time, at the place where Locke had previously fought with the bald middle-aged man.
A black figure came from afar.
The black figure quickly stopped.
“This is…”
Floating in midair, the dwarf’s face darkened when he saw the terrible battle scene beneath his feet.
At this time, his breath was weak, apparently, he was injured.
As if he had suddenly discovered something, his expression changed slightly, and turned into a beam of light and rushed to the ground.
“Jerald…”
Looking at the dead body in the stone pit, the dwarf was gloomy to the extreme. “Damn it! The space ring is missing.”
The dwarf’s face darkened. He knew that in the last assassination, Bunis had obtained a level-7 tonic pill. For mages, who didn’t pay attention to physical practice, the tonic pill was invaluable.
“Level-7 forest python… It seems that Bunis was seriously injured after fighting with level-7 forest python, and then was attacked to death.”
A light flashed through the dwarf’s eyes. Indeed, although Locke Capet was capable, he couldn’t kill a level-8 master.
