Chapter 1089 Setting out

Chapter 1089 Setting out

The damage from the attack was extensive, but fortunately there were no casualties, which was nearly a miracle. Nearly, because all the old guests of the Inn, whether young or old, strong or weak, had undergone various power ups and evolutions upon coming to the Inn. Even the kids had become much more powerful, and though they may have not started to cultivate on their own yet, their bodies might as well be that of a cultivator.

But while there were no casualties, many had been injured. The lack of Recovery pods made the situation a lot more critical, and Dr. Charles Best was doing his best to ensure that the situation did not deteriorate further.

The fairies who had just recently joined the Inn proved their worth at this time, using their fairy dust to heal all the wounded, or at least keep them from getting worse. At the same time, many of them could not help but look up at the beautiful Lich who was torturing the souls of her enemies up in the air.

They recalled what Lex had said about everyone needing to behave while at the Inn. They suddenly did not doubt him anymore. Everyone had to behave, or else who knows what that lady would do.

Once Lex was done talking to Anita, the first thing he did was come back down, take a single drop of blood, mix it with a lot of water, and then use it to treat all the wounded. He could easily do one drop per person, but even if he diluted his blood the effectiveness of it was good enough. Moreover, he felt a little strange going around dropping his blood on people. He really needed to come up with an alternative to that.

Besides the people, many buildings were also damaged, and without the Host Attire, repairing them would have to be a manual job. Lex did not anticipate too much trouble, considering that they were all cultivators and had techniques that could aid in reconstruction. But it was safe to say that it was going to be a hassle keeping all the guests who were already fed up of being at the Inn placated now.

For the most part, the guests just treated this incident as an entertaining interlude in their stay at the Inn. At most, they were just interested to see how the locals would react after this incident was fully over. But some of them found it interesting that such an attack happened in the first place.

Although Anita had very easily disposed of its clone, Lex expected the real body to put up a bigger fight. Even though it was limited to the Nascent realm, it had absorbed countless pieces of resin, and so Lex would not be surprised if it could fight above its level. That was adding upon the fact that it was likely a Mythical being.

It was a very unique...

Lex froze. The Tree of Heaven was a Mythical being which had absorbed not one, but countless pieces of resin. He wondered... wondered if the corpse of the tree could count as an ingredient to fix the system? If it did, would it be the same as the resin, or would it count as a different one?

This invasion could not have come at a better time. Ordinarily, Lex would not do something like killing a Mythical being just to use it as a corpse. But since he was about to make an example of one anyway...

"Worry not, Lady Anita. I will make sure that the Tree of Heavens feels the full force of your wrath. Even a shred of its corpse will not be left behind!"

Lex spread his energy and encompassed the battalion, as well as everyone else who was coming along, and teleported them out. It might be difficult to find other things on this continent, but the Tree was visible from nearly everywhere.

Its size was genuinely astronomical, and even if Anita overpowered it, Lex did not think it would be so easy even for her to take it down. Heck, if Lex started burning it down, it would probably take months of continuous burning for the fire to spread across its entire body, let alone actually burning through it. Lex might as well be facing off against a small moon!

But he was not worried, because he had prepared something special just for it.
