Chapter 133: Pain
Seventh Grade combatant is always famous for their unique personality. Some of them are very moody. Some of them are completely shameless or mad. Some of them like to pretend to be weak and many others have unique personalities.
However, there is one similarity among them. It is their thirst for battle, especially between the seventh-grade people.
Although grade seven is already the pinnacle strength in this world, most of the people in this grade want to surpass this limit like they surpass the limit of grade six.
The feeling becomes stronger the longer they stay at this pinnacle grade. Almost all the seventh-grade combatants will try or search for a method to break through this shackle and upgrade their grades.
One of the easy methods to make progress in strength is by fighting a strong opponent through harsh battles. Because of this reason, most seventh-grade combatants often like to clash with each other without any reason.
Furthermore, unless they let themself get injured or get careless, the chance for them to be heavily injured or dead is very low. Even if they want to run, nobody in this world could stop them. So, fighting between seventh-grade combatants is quite safe.
After chatting for a while about various kinds of stuff, "Alright, let\'s not waste any more time. Do you prepare the deal?" said King Nexus.
"Straightforward as usual, huh? Well, not that I complain about it. Master Valeron, how is your condition?" asked King Leon to Valeron.
"We can start anytime, my king." replied Valeron while looking at Angus who is getting better.
"Good, Let\'s go towards the room I prepared before." said King Nexus while leading out the room.
The six groups of people begin to follow King Nexus into one of the rooms nearby. Although they are allies, King Nexus can\'t possibly let them wander around the Royal Palace easily, especially at this time.? Because of that he already prepares a room for the medication.
Inside the room, there are already a few royal guards and priests waiting for them. In Firuman, the religious group is not only famous for their god\'s unique specialty and fight against the undead. They are also famous for having the best spells, skills, and knowledge in healing.
In important matters such as this, King Nexus also prepares himself and hires a few priests in the case of an emergency.
"I hope you don\'t mind that these few people will be watching." said King Nexus.
Rather than reply, King Leon looks at Master Valeron to take the lead.
"It\'s not a problem, King Nexus. Besides, what we are dealing with is something we can\'t test before. It is better to have a few priests nearby in case there is some unforeseen situation." replied Master Valeron calmly.
"Good, then let\'s start." said King Nexus while undressing his upper clothes and showing his wound in the back.
Looking at the wound, everyone inside the room immediately had a solemn expression. The wound is made of the shape of four claw marks. Each of the claw marks is in dark black and keeps rotting away.
Not only that, the wound could be seen trying to gnaw at the rest of the body like a sort of vicious cancer.
If it is not for the King Nexus to constantly suppress it with his own mana, Angus predicts that the wound will already spread all over the body. At that time, even with the help of Miasma Curing Potion, it is already too late.
\'This potency of miasma is many times higher than the wound from the grade five monster back then.\' thought Angus inwardly after looking at the wound.
Feeling being stared at for a while, "So, how is it? Can you heal it?" asked King Nexus.
"According to the theory and our research, there should be no problem. Since our \'precious\' potion is made to expel the Miasma itself. Because of this reason, the miasma wound must not be too long otherwise they will be integrated into the body." said Master Valeron.
"I see. Then, let\'s do it your way. As long as this Miasma is gone, I could take care of it myself." said King Nexus
"Then, let\'s begin. Angus, bring out the potion." said Master Valeron.
Hearing this, Angus brings out a green-colored potion from his storage device. This is the legendary Miasma Curing Potion. After that, he nodded at Master Valeron.
"King Nexus, you may feel pain during the time we apply the potion. Please don\'t lose focus and keep suppressing the Miasma like usual." said Master Valeron.
"Alright, I can handle a little bit of pain." replied King Nexus.
Then, Angus begins to apply the potion to the claw mark wound. *Shsss* The moment the potion touches the wound it creates a sizzling sound.
"URRGGHH…" Said King Nexus as he tried to hold the pain.
At this moment, the miasma wound reacts wildly and starts to evaporate little by little. Its color is also starting to fade from pitch black into normal black.
Looking at the wound condition, \'It\'s not enough, the miasma is too potent.\' thought Angus.
Without wasting any moment, Angus takes out the second bottle and applies it to the miasma wound again. This action startled Master Valeron, during the test, they only need to use one bottle of potion.
However, Angus himself is the only one that ever has to cure the miasma wound without the potion, Master Valeron decides to thrust in Angus and not comment on anything.
Getting applied the second potion, "ARRGHH!!!" King Nexus can\'t hold back his voice anymore.
At this time, he feels unimaginable pain in his back. He even almost loses his consciousness from the pain.
Now, people can see all the veins in King Nexus\'s body as he holds out the pain. Even the nearby Royal Guard could help but have a cold sweat looking at their king\'s situation.
As for the wound, its color started to fade again into the dark grey with the mix of some blood. Angus took another potion bottle and once again applied the potion to the wound.
"ARRGGGHH!!!!" screamed King Nexus in pain.
As King Nexus feels more pain in his back, the wound itself starts to bleed out but the Miasma inside the wound begins to evaporate at a fast speed.
After a while, the dark and corroded miasma is gone from the wound leaving a deep dark red wound. King Nexus\'s complexion also begins to get better as the pain behind his back starts to recede.
Looking that the miasma has completely gone, Angus gives a nod towards Master Valeron. Getting the sign, "Priest, quick try to heal the wound. Now, the miasma is completely gone." said Master Valeron.
The nearby priest immediately moves and heals King Nexus\'s bleeding wound after getting approval. Feeling the soothing sensation in his back, King Nexus regulates his rough back and circulates his mana to enhance his recovery.
"Haa… Haa… I never thought it was going to bring Ha… so much pain." said King Nexus while catching his breath.
"We also never thought something like that would happen. It seems we still underestimate the wound from the Monster Overlord." replied Master Valeron.
"Haa.. It\'s okay. Since in the end, the medication already succeeds. On behalf of the Orces Kingdom, we are in your debt Master Valeron." said King Nexus.
"Err.. King Nexus, think too highly of me. I am only one of the researchers during the potion research." said Master Valeron as he could feel an ominous aura behind him.
Before King Nexus could reply, "Nexus, it seems you already fully healed now. Want to have some spar to check up on your condition?" cut out King Leon.
\'Dare to poach my men in front of me. I will smack you to pieces.\' thought King Leon inwardly.
\'Tch… Leon noticed it too quickly.\' thought King Nexus back.
At this moment, the two kings once again glaring one with the others. Unlike before, the two Kings release their mana towards the surrounding to pressure one with the others.
"You are right. I still need to test if I am fully healed or not." replied King Nexus.
"M-My King…" said one of the royal guards.
King Nexus raises his hand to stop the other royal guard from talking any further, "Don\'t worry, my wound is more or less already healed. Now, let\'s change the place first, Leon." said King Nexus while smiling.
"Certainly, After you, Nexus." said Leon in a deep voice.
The two kings immediately go out of the room while being followed by everyone. After walking for a while in the long corridor silently, they reach a big clearing with a lake nearby it.
"You don\'t mind we fight in here right?" said King Nexus.
"Like it is going to make any difference." replied King Leon.
Then the two kings release their massive mana nearby. The two different mana begin to friction one with the others and create disturbance in the surrounding.
"Back.. Move back… It\'s too dangerous in here." said Jacob, reminding the others.
Everyone that hears Jacob\'s warning, begins to move back in the royal palace direction. At this moment, Angus looked at the two kings with a surprised look while covering himself in the nearby pillar.
\'Such thick mana…\'
