Chapter 43: The Healer

Neil had expected this level of difficulty, but the fight still proved to be a lot more brutal than he expected.

But he still didn’t use the phantom form.

Had he used it, there was a high chance he would have gone crazy and his chances of survival would be even lower.

Controlling that was still not easy for him.

“Master, just try to stay awake, after the healing hut is complete…” Nemo was speaking, but Neil could barely hear.

The poison was rapidly merging into his nervous system. Neil wondered if he could use Aquamorph to slow it down.

[Aquamorph Activation Failed!]

’It seems I was right…’ he thought, but even if it activated, he was in no condition to do anything.

As minutes ticked by, his skin started to turn blue.

In fact, his poison tolerance had increased after drinking Cinthia’s blood, otherwise he would have died already.

HUFF HUFF

His breathing grew hectic. Fay tried to make him drink some water, but he couldn’t drink.

Neil coughed out blood suddenly, his head spinning and time losing all meaning.

He started to feel very hot, the poison burning his veins and organs, sending waves of extreme pain.

Thankfully, this level of pain was not enough to make him give up, he had suffered far worse.

He held on for as long as he could, but at one point, darkness consumed his senses, and everything became silent and dark.

He stopped feeling any pain and fainted.

***

After an unknown period of time, Neil felt a warm sensation spread all across his body, it felt so comfortable.

He inhaled deeply, smelling an intoxicating sweet fragrance, making him feel relaxed.

Neil felt so calm, even forgetting about the dangerous environment and the dangerous battle he had just fought.

The burning sensation of the poison was gone too.

’Haa, did I die and go back to some checkpoint?’

He wondered, but ever since leaving the earth, his life had not been peaceful.

So, it didn’t make sense, maybe he had really died and the analyzer failed to activate?

After losing himself in thought, he lightly clenched his fists, the sensation bringing him back to reality.

So he hadn’t died.

Slowly, his eyelids opened, but the bright light made it impossible for him to see anything.

As his eyes adjusted, Neil found himself lying on a comfortable bed, and this was clearly not his room.

His body was bandaged and cleaned.

His brows knit into a frown as he tried to make sense of the situation, his mind was still a bit foggy.

Then he observed his surroundings and found several other beds and other materials.

Magnar was sleeping beside him.

He looked to his right, and his eyes widened in surprise.

There stood a woman with long white hair cascading down her back and reaching below her waist.

Her back was facing him.

She was tall with a curvy figure, the robe accentuating her voluptuous body, possessing an hourglass figure.

Her round fleshy buttocks bounced slightly as she leaned forward, picking up something from the table.

’Who is… she?’ Neil stared at the woman, then he remembered something.

’Oh right, the healing hut. She must be the healer.’

As his gaze moved up, he noticed her ears, which were slightly different from humans.

They were similar to elves but also not quite like them, so he opened her status panel.

『

[Name]:

Princess Ileana

[Race]: Druid

[Master]: Dead Man Walking

[Talent]: Healing, Florakinesis

』

’Oh! A princess?!! A druid?!!’ he was yet again surprised.

Maybe sensing something, the woman in question turned and looked at Neil.

“Lord, you are awake.” Her voice was melodious, even simple words sounding like music.

As Neil finally saw her, his gaze just stuck to her.

Her tender juicy pink lips formed a beautiful smile, her cheeks were rosy and her milky skin appeared buttery smooth.

She looked too gorgeous, practically ethereal, probably the same level of beauty as Cinthia, if not more.

And her bosom was even bigger than the snake queen’s, her body from top to bottom appeared ripe and soft.

’She is beautiful…’

Neil thought, in terms of both beauty and hotness, she was like a seductive succubus.

She was giving off the vibe of a warm caring neighbourhood milf.

“Hello lord, I am Ileana, the healer. I am here to take good care of you.” She spoke gently, getting closer.

“Uh, I am Neil Yate, welcome to the Graveyard.” he said, returning to his senses.

“Are you feeling better?” As Ileana stepped closer, her fragrance drifted before her.

She pressed the back of her hand over his forehead, her warm skin feeling extremely smooth.

“…Yeah, I am feeling better, thank you.”

Taking a calming breath, Neil removed all other thoughts as he sat up.

Ileana helped him and placed a pillow behind his back.

“It will take an hour or so for you to heal completely, you shouldn’t move around for now.”

She spoke softly, as if her only role in this place was tending to him.

Neil nodded, he tried not to look towards her, both her body and face were too alluring.

And after last time, he really did not want to get close to any woman.

Ileana saw his disinterest and pouted, but then she got busy cleaning up the table beside him.

She was a healer, but her main duty was to take care of her lord, so she naturally felt very curious about him.

Just then, Bob glanced inside and upon seeing Neil awake, he called the others inside the healing hut.

“Lord, you are finally awake!!” Mob heaved a sigh of relief.

“Yeah, I am feeling better, how’s the situation outside?” he looked at the three dwarfs and the two humans.

“Master, I stopped the domain in a relatively safer area.

As we move ahead, we are only going to encounter more danger.” Nemo spoke, her voice sounding in his mind.

While the guardian stood outside to keep watch.

Rob repeated something similar.

“Oh right, she is Ileana, the healer of our domain. From now on, she will be taking proper care of you.” Bob introduced.

Neil nodded, then he asked: “My swords?”

“They are here, lord, they were stuck in one of the corpses brought back by the vultures.”

Mob handed the perfectly clean swords to Neil, they looked even better than new.

Taking the swords, he looked at them for a few moments, it seemed Mob had worked on them a little.

“Good job.” He put them away, then glanced towards one of the windows, and there was a big heap of corpses.

’At least something good came out of this.’ He thought.

“You are done with the alarming system as well?” he asked.

“Yes lord, it’s not perfect but will work just fine for now.

Though it might raise false alarms if someone from our domain goes outside and is careless.” Rob answered.

After a little more discussion, Neil dismissed them as they got busy with other things.

“Lord, please do tell me if you need anything.” Ileana spoke with a tender smile, her figure was really too distracting.

“Alright, I will just rest for a bit.” Neil closed his eyes as he pondered other things.

He glanced at his status panel and his gaze fixed on the shop section.
