" No… No way! This can't be true, am I dreaming? "
One of the soldiers cried out. His mouth was opened until an egg could be inserted inside it, in his point of view, the scene in front was incredibly stunning to him.
The Ground Rhino's face was full of blood, one of its horns was broken and some of its teeth had gone nowhere. Who could beat this tough creature to this point?
Although this creature was just in childhood stage, body size was just half of the adolescent stage. Yet, it could still perform its extraordinary strength.
Once it reached adolescent stage, it would probably become one of the strongest beast kings in this forest. For instance, two Hammer Gorilla King combined force and fought, still had no match with it.
But now, this creature was in terrible condition. Compared to before, the creature kept emitting aura of strong and unbeatable, made the three soldiers escape from it.
On the contrary, the current Ground Rhino, its eyes were full of fear and looked like it had faced another beast that was stronger and tougher than it. Thus, it ran quickly to escape from that 'beast'.
" Hey, guys! Pinch my face. I want to know whether I am dreaming or not? " The soldier with ax claimed.
Immediately, the soldier with bow raised his hand and… slapped his head forcefully.
" Ouch! What are you doing? "
" Yup! You are not dreaming. Don't look at me like this, you must appreciate my help to allow you to know your current condition. "
The soldier replied. The ax soldier showed an angry face towards the bow soldier.
" Why do you slap my head? "
" Make you feel more realistic. Actually, I want to slap your face. The great the pain, the clearer the truth you will know. Thus, you know you are not dreaming now. "
" … "
After a while, the Ground Rhino had disappeared from their field of vision. The ground returned to quite, the alert atmosphere slight lower to normal.
" What kind of other creature can hurt the Ground Rhino to this point? " The soldier with sword asked.
" Who knows? That creature must be very tough and strong, hopefully we won't face it in the future. " The soldier with bow spoke in a calm voice, eyes were staring far long away.
…
In the cave.
Kane was lying on the ground with a weak look as if a patient who has suffered from an incurable disease. His entire face was covered with white, feeling no warm on his palms.
The green color spiritual energy kept coming out from Cecelia, then flowed into Kane's body. This was the energy support Kane's body, if Cecelia stopped infusing energy into him and he probably had already become a cold corpse.
" That is bad! Although I had already thought the worst condition will be happened to him, but Kane's condition is still out of my expectation. " Cecelia muttered.
The expression of anxiety was thicker on her face. Cecelia tried harder to infuse much more energy into Kane's body.
She raised both her hands with palms towards Kane, focused her mind and controlled the energy. The green cloud slowly raised up and wrapped his entire body.
Suddenly, Kane's body became flashy with green color.
Many sweats flowed down from Cecelia's head, already wet her hair. Great seriousness was shown on her face, she dared not lose her focus on curing Kane.
This had shown that Cecelia found this curing technique difficult to be used, she needed to put great effort to form a curing green cloud.
" Hopefully this will work on you. " Cecelia sincerely hoped that Kane would be better after a huge amount of curing spiritual energy was surrounding him.
After five minutes, Cecelia felt an emptiness inside her soul sea. She had spent too much energy before to heal Kane wounds.
Without any rest, she continued to use her spiritual energy to heal again Kane. She had already reached her own limit.
Cecelia was fallen asleep for a very long time since the death of the previous owner.
The Heavenly Divine Book was a secret book many people longed for, it couldn't be obtained by force but it would choose its owner. Yet, the greed of humans couldn't be stopped, thus humans once started a war to compete with this book.
As they believed that this book would bring them unbeatable power and helped them to rule the whole world. Yet the legend was still just a legend, nobody knew the reality of this rumor as there was no evidence that showed this book could provide them power.
If Kane knew this rumor, he probably would think those legends were just humor. The book inside his mind didn't give him any power, in return, kept stealing his cultivated spiritual energy. And, just provided him a book realm that only some basic magic shown on the bookshelves.
How could this book provide one the power to conquer the world?
If the book really provided the owner power, how would Kane keep being bullied by the creatures in the forest? How would he find it hard even just to fight with a weak deer?
From that legend, there was a small rumor inside the story. The rumor had stated that, once a person who owned this book accidentally revealed the existence of the Heavenly Divine Book to others.
Some the strongest mages on that time period got known of its existence, and suggested their emperor get the book by force. Initially, the person just fought with one country.
The existence of the book kept spreading to the whole world, and the rumor of the book became more and more exaggerated. Finally, each country gathered their own force and fought with that person in order to get the Divine Book from him.
Yup! There must be very thrilling experiences, one person fought with seven countries.
Thousands had passed from that incident, peoples had forgotten this incident and treated it as a story. About the Divine Book, nobody still remembered that the book once was appeared in the human world.
Cecelia was the fairy of this book, she was entirely related and connected to this book. This meant the power Cecelia possessed depended on the power of the book.
Moreover, the power of the book was depended on its owner. As Kane was still very weak, thus the book almost showed no function to its owner. At the same time, sufficient energy must be provided to the book.
Kane must at least fulfill these two requirements to make the book provide him more help.
Therefore, although Cecelia had lived for a long time, yet she was weak when she just waked up from asleep.
The green cloud slowly disappeared, much exhausted could be seen on her face to the point she started to gasp.
She flew near to Kane and took a closer look, the result made her disappointed. The sense of frustrating overwhelmed her heart, her brows frowned tightly.
" What…? Still no effect on him. " Cecelia spoke with a gasping voice.
The face of Kane was still covered with pale. After a great effect of healing, but the effect on him was mild, probably could be considered as no effect.
Cecelia swept away the sweat on her head, figuring out a way to save Kane.
All of a sudden, her eyes lit up and an idea flashed across her mind. From her expression, the idea in her head probably could heal Kane, it seemed that Kane still had hope to survive.
" This is the last way to save Kane, I am confidence that Kane will probably be saved by this method. " Cecelia muttered.
But just after one second, hesitation was shown on her face, she was struggling for something.
" But, should I go this far to save a human? " Cecelia questioned herself.
" I still remember what humans did to our race, they are unforgivable. They are selfish and greedy, eventually they brought disaster to … "
Cecelia forced herself to stop recalling back her old memories. Upon the time of recalling, the fire of hatred was burning in her eyes, some incidents must have happened on her.
She was once a free fairy in the forest.
