Chapter 501: Body Purification Water

When he had gone back to Aubrey, he was surprised to see her crystal-covered boot slamming against the warrior’s face over and over. He simply stood back and watched as she brutally killed the shield bearer.

She was breathing even harder than she had been during the final moments of her battle with the warrior.

“Did something happen?” He asked carefully.

She spat on the guy. “Nope.”

“Are you sure?”

She kicked him one more time for good measure. “He just regained consciousness and started to spout a bunch of nonsense, so I shut him up,” she admitted.

“Nonsense?”

“Yeah, nasty fucking guy. We should have tortured him and his friends in hindsight,” Aubrey stated viciously.

Julius frowned and looked at the destroyed face of the warrior. He couldn’t help but wonder what the guy had said to her. He knew these guys were vile pieces of shit based on their auras alone, but he didn’t think they were stupid enough to announce those intentions after being beaten like that.

“Did you find anything at least?” He asked, trying to change the topic.

“Yeah, the other guy had a token and a wooden sword. I have no clue what it is meant for,” she said while taking the sword from her storage and tossing it over to him.

He snatched it out of the air and examined it. He ran his finger over the wooden blade and was surprised at how blunt it felt. He knew it was wood, but it almost felt like there was some kind of cushioning enchantment along the edge.

“It might be a training aid,” he said to her and threw it back.

She returned it to her storage ring and shrugged. “Maybe. I will ask someone when we leave here. It’s not like I need it, though. I don’t use swords,” she said with a disappointed sigh and bent down to the body of the shield warrior she had just stomped in. A white orb had appeared over his body as well

“What are you looking for specifically?”

She put a token in her ring and examined the two other items the warrior had before looking at him.

“I was hoping to find some treasures that would help me prepare for Tier 4,” she said to him.

“Like what kind of treasures?” He asked curiously.

“I don’t know. Some treasures that help with my Emblem progression and some body purification stuff. If I can find something that improves the quality of my soul or willpower, that would be pretty nice as well. But I suspect I need to find a challenge rift or get some kind of personalized reward for that,” she explained.

Julius smirked at her.

“What’s that look for?” She asked with a pinch of her lips.

“I might have something for you,” he noted casually.

Her eyes brightened. “Really? What is it?” She asked excitedly.

He continued to grin at her and carefully removed the bottle of lake water he had gotten from Vailon. He didn’t know what kind of water this was, but from what he could tell, it had some potent purifying properties for the body. It had to be quite powerful if it could purify his body to some extent.

He handed her the bottle and explained what it would do.

“Truly?” She asked with excitement.

“Yeah, it even somewhat worked for me. So it should work for you,” he said with a shrug.

She nodded and was about to drink the water, but before she could, he stopped her with his kinetic energy.

“What are you doing? I thought you said it was for me?” She asked with a saddened look.

“Not right now. You need some time to recover. You are in quite rough shape,” he said with a shake of his head, and got closer to her.

“I am okay,” she insisted.

However, he ignored her and placed his hand on her body. His time with Cain and Freya, but the one thing that he was grateful for more than anything else was learning how to heal people from Freya.

While he wouldn’t be the greatest healer anytime soon, he should be able to keep his friends alive and share some of the benefits of his healing skill with them.

“What are you doing?” She asked.

“Be quiet. I need to focus, or else you might grow a second nose accidentally,” he threatened.

“Second nose?”

“Though I think you would look even better with a second nose,” he commented.

She slapped him hard.

“Hey! Didn’t I just say to be careful. I wasn’t joking about accidentally mutating your body if I lose focus.”

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

He said that, but he wasn’t that close to losing concentration. If he could keep a spell structure together while losing half of his limbs and being on fire, then a little slap wasn’t anything to worry about.

He wove a structure of mana into her body, making sure he was extra careful. Random patients were different, but he was much more anxious about healing someone he actually cared about. He used all his senses to assess her condition.

From what he could tell, most of her problems stemmed from sheer exhaustion, both in stamina and mana.

There were a few injuries from when she blocked her opponent’s powerful swings. A fractured forearm and several large bruises all over her body. But thankfully, nothing more complicated than that.

He gently started to infuse life mana into her, making sure he didn’t overdo it. He really didn’t want to mutilate a part of her body. He had seen how Freya had fixed it for him when he had made a mistake; it wasn’t a pretty procedure, and he would rather he didn’t have to do that to Aubrey.

It took longer than necessary, but everything went perfectly. He could feel her fatigue draining away and her body slowly recovering. All of her injuries were gone, and all that was left was the soreness she felt in her mana channels.

However, there wasn’t much he could do for her on that end.

“When did you learn how to actually heal people?” She asked softly, as if surprised by him. All of the weariness on her dropped away; her entire body was invigorated.
