Dark Evolution Begins with Marrying an SSS-CLASS Blind Monster-Chapter 153: Rufus’ Healing
Rufus was lying against the tree, the ice that was covering his body was already melted, and the dust cloud had already started to dissipate.
"Urrg! My whole body is screaming in pain, it hurts like hell! How can a human bandit be this strong?"
Rufus complained and grumbled as he leaned his body against the tree, trying to find a comfortable position, but the pain in his body was too great.
"Damn, I have to go and save the princess before others do if I want learn new special spells."
Rufus’ voice was laced with annoyance, and pain, and worry, his eyes staring at the sky.
And just as he was thinking, the dust cloud had started to dissipate, and the sight that was revealed, made his jaw drop.
"Holy shit."
There was a large, wide, and deep crater on the ground behind muscular man, a gaping hole with a radius of a few meters.
The crater was so deep that it looked like a huge sinkhole, and the bottom was not visible from his point of view.
The crater was located exactly where he had cast the Kamehameha.
And the damage that the spell had caused was enormous.
’Damn, my special spell is that strong. Princess was right when she said that it could destroy islands.’
Now I want to meet that pointy hair, blonde guy and the pirate guy."
’And maybe if possible, learn some new skills from them...’
"Wait a minute..."
Rufus’ thoughts suddenly came to a halt when he saw a figure standing at the edge of the crater.
’What the heck?! He is still standing?’
A shocked expression appeared on his face.
"Don’t tell me... He survived my special skill?"
Rufus couldn’t believe his eyes, he was certain that the blast would have been able to render him unconscious if not kill him, but...
As the dust cloud continued to dissipate, the muscular man became clearer and clearer.
"Wait a minute." Rufus squinted his eyes, his vision getting clearer and clearer. "He is already unconscious."
The muscular man maybe standing, but his whole body was smoking, and there were some cuts and bruises visible on his skin, and a bit of blood was oozing out.
"Oh thank the spirits. He’s knocked out."
Rufus felt relieved.
’But wait a second, why is his body still standing?’
Suddenly, a realization hit him.
"Maybe his fighting spirit was the only thing keeping his body upright. Who knows?"
Rufus’ guess was correct, the muscular man had lost consciousness.
His fighting spirit was so strong that his body kept standing even though his mind was no longer conscious.
It’s not a rare occurrence, but it is quite unusual for a fighter to maintain their fighting spirit even when they lose consciousness.
But the muscular man’s will was so strong that it had kept his body upright even after being defeated.
’Fighting spirit? Huh?’
’Well, it seems this guy’s fighting spirit is stronger than me.’
A small smile formed on Rufus’ face, and he felt a bit of respect for the muscular man.
’Even though he is a bandit, he’s still a fighter, and that’s admirable.’
’Anyway, now I have to get up and save the princess.’
With a pained expression, Rufus pushed himself up from the ground, his body shaking slightly.
His clothes were torn and his skin was covered in bruises, and cuts, and scratches.
’My whole body feels sore.’
"Ahh, damn, it hurts everywhere. Even the slightest movement makes my body ache."
Rufus winced, his eyes squinting, his eyebrows furrowing.
"Urg, I have to hurry and save the princess. But first I have to retrieve the bracelet."
Rufus started limping toward the muscular man, his gaze locked onto the bracelet around the muscular man’s wrist.
"I can’t let anyone have this piece of treasure."
After a short while, he finally reached the muscular man, and grabbed the bracelet around his wrist, a soft smile forming on his lips.
"Hey man, I am here to take that bracelet from you. You won’t mind, right?"
Rufus looked at the muscular man’s unconscious face, a grin on his lips.
"I will take it as a yes."
He then raised his right hand and placed at it the muscular man’s shoulder and...
"Is it okay if i use your shoulder as a support?"
He asked, his tone polite and friendly.
The muscular man did not reply, his expression unchanged, his eyes closed.
"I will take that as a yes too."
After saying that...
Phew!
Rufus sighed.
"Damn, it hurts so much."
Rufus grimaced in pain, his expression contorted in discomfort, and his head tilted forward, his face facing the ground.
"It really hurts, man."
He closed his eyes and sighed again, and his breathing turned deep and slow.
’I should go now. The people would be gathering here soon.’
After taking in a deep breath, he opened his eyes, and the bracelet on the muscular man’s wrist came into his sight.
He moved his left hand and grabbed it.
"It isn’t yours to begin with so I am taking it with me to return it to original owner. Okay?"
He spoke as if he was talking to someone, he raised his head and looked at the muscular man’s unconscious face.
The muscular man did not answer, his expression unchanged, his eyes still closed.
"I will take that as a no, hahaha."
Rufus chuckled, his lips curling into a smirk, and he pulled the bracelet off the man’s wrist.
"Thanks for your cooperation, man."
He looked at the muscular man’s expressionless face, a small smile forming on his lips.
Man, he was so strong, and even though I beat him, I barely made it.’
A satisfied look appeared on his face, a hint of pride in his tone.
’It was a really good fight, Thanks man. You were one hell of a tough opponent."
With those words, Rufus started limping away, leaving the muscular man behind.
"Anyway, I should go and save the princess. And you should rest here for a while."
The bracelet was safely held in his hand.
And as he continued to limp away, he started to get annoyed.
*Limp*
*Limp*
’Man, it’s so annoying, my body is not obeying me. It hurts so much. Damn.’
*Limp*
*Limp*
*Limp*
’It will be a real pain if it keeps hurting like this, but I have to endure it.’
*Limp*
*Limp*
*Limp*
"Damn it. At this rate how am I going to find the princess? Shit."
*Limp*
"This sucks..."
Rufus cursed under his breath, his expression frustrated.
*Limp*
"Hang on, Princess, I am coming. So don’t worry and stay safe, okay."
With that he started walking faster.
He had to hurry up and save the princess, he could not afford to lose even a second.
So he kept walking, his legs moving faster as he limped forward, his eyes determined.
*Limp*
*Limp*
And then...
"Aaaaa...!" Rufus cried out.
*Thud*
"Ouch..."
He suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground.
"Shit..."
Rufus groaned in frustration, the right side of his face hit the ground.
"Damn, I can’t believe I tripped over my own feet."
Rufus was annoyed, his expression frustrated.
He pushed his hands on the ground, and his body rose, and he sat on the ground with his legs crossed.
He was covered in cuts and bruises and his body was aching.
’Man, this is embarrassing. Thank God it is dark and no one has seen that. Or else I will be so ashamed.’
He dusted himself off and tried to stand up again, but this time, his right leg failed to support him.
"Ouch, Not again."
He was frustrated, and his expression showed that.
’Looks like my right leg has gotten injured during the fight. I can’t even walk anymore. Great, just great.’
Just as he thought that, his wounds started twitching, they were stitching themselves back together, the pain slowly disappearing.
’Huh, I am healing?’
His body was slowly healing itself, the cuts and bruises closing, and the pain lessening.
"Great, looks like I have recovered some of my mana."
After a few minutes, the wounds had completely healed, and his body returned to its normal state.
’Phew, at last, the healing has finally ended.’
Rufus had a relieved expression, his shoulders relaxing.
"Now I can find the princess faster."
With that he got up, and murmured; "Ice Magic: Cold Wings."
His wings appeared behind him, and a chilly breeze spread across the area.
He started flapping his wings, and slowly floated upward.
And with his body levitating, he started flying towards the direction where the aura of the princess was coming from.
It was faint, but it was still there.
’It’s the only thing I can hold onto now.’
"Princess, I will save you."
With that, he started flying faster.
’I hope it’s not too late.’
.
.
.
’What am I thinking? Of course, she would be alright.’
’It is not like there is any human who can mess with the princess, anyway.’
