Despite what Arthur anticipated, he didn't pass out from the pain.
He passed out from the blood loss instead.
By the time one of the other members of the Kovacs Clan Leon was patrolling with carried Arthur to the Medicine Hall, Arthur's mother and father had already arrived.
The young Fae Master who had carried Arthur to the Medicine Hall had felt the full brunt of the Clan Leaders origin essence, and nearly collapsed Arthur dropping off Arthur and his hand into the arms of his mother and father.
He was still conscious at the time, and just smiled as he waved his severed hand with his other, shrugging his shoulders as his mother cried while holding him.
After that, he passed out completely.
He didn't need to worry about being kidnapped or having one of the Clan Leaders investigate his origin essence sea due to the Clan Leader being present, but Arthur's father did question the young male Fae Master who carried Arthur here, what had happened.
"We were patrolling the area surrounding the Clan like we usually did. But on our way back Leon saw a figure carrying two bodies out of the forest. We went over to check who it was, but Leon called out Arthur's name and he asked us to carry him here".
The Fae Master paused for a moment before adding something with a lower tone.
"The two bodies that Arthur was carrying were the bodies of two members of the Marina Clan. Additionally....".
The Fae Master paused again, causing Niklos to narrow his eyes.
"Speak. Do not waste my time with your stuttering".
The Fae Master nodded several times before whispering even quieter.
"The two bodies of the Marina Clan members, were both Rank 2 Fae Masters".
Niklos' eyes widened, causing him to freeze slightly before nodding his head.
"I see. Everyone in your patrol has done a good thing today. You are not to tell anyone what has transpired here today. And if anyone asks, you saved Arthur from 2 Rank 2 Fae Masters, understood?".
The young man nodded multiple times before leaving the Medicine Hall.
Niklos watched the young mean leave before turning his gaze back towards Arthur.
This son of his had done many things that surprised him.
First his deal with Robert regarding the hidden shadow fae, and secondly when he found the bloodseeker leaf fae in the forest.
These two things had changed his path greatly, and improved his potential exponentially.
Andrea had requested the vein limit fae this morning, after going out with Arthur the previous night. It was obvious what she planned to do with it.
She wouldn't stop him, but didn't want her to solely depend on Arthur.
If Arthur was her way of staying connected to the Clan, then that was a good thing and something that should be nurtured without any external influence.
But if Arthur ever wanted to journey outside the Clan, then she might try and go with him, out of love, or worry it didn't really matter.
Niklos sighed for a moment entering one of the rooms of the Medicine Hall and instantly turning towards the Medicine Elder standing over Arthur's body.
His wife, Kamila held her son's hand tightly as the Medicine Elder finished the operation.
The wizened old man snorted softly before shaking his head letting out a sigh.
"This kid, how could he do something so stupid. Niklos, how could you let my grandson get attacked like this! I thought you taught him better than this!".
Niklos sighed once more, this time for a different reason.
His Father in-law was one of the most influential Elders in the Clan, and was one of the reasons why he defeated his older siblings and became the Clan Leader. Through support from the Medicine Hall, Niklos was able to develop his strength while under the umbrella of this Elder.
He married Kamila shortly after he became the Clan Leader.
"Father, it's not as though I didn't teach him wrongly, it's just that Arthur fought someone whose strength exceeded his own".
The Medicine Elder narrowed his white coloured brows.
"What do you mean Niklos? I saw Arthur's performance during the tournament! He could've taken first place if he didn't stop attacking!".
Niklos nodded but showed a slightly exasperated expression.
"It seems that Arthur's opponents this time were 2 Rank 2 Fae Masters father".
Both Kamila and her father's eyes widened greatly.
"What! That's impossible! Even if Arthur is in the liquid origin essence stage, how could be beat even a single vapour ruby origin essence Fae Master!".
While Rank 1 Fae Masters possessed quartz origin essence, Rank 2 Fae Masters possessed ruby origin essence.
The colour differentiation was the biggest way to discern an individual's cultivation.
Niklos sat down in one of the empty chairs, peering at his son queerly.
"I don't know how he defeated them. Perhaps he ambushed them, or their fae were perfectly countered by Arthur's. All I know is, is that there are two corpses bearing the symbol of the Marina Clan in the Village".
Kamila and the Medicine Hall Elder both sighed before turning towards Arthur's sleeping body.
His hand was completely fine, yet for the next couple weeks it would feel slightly off. There was a large scar around the entire outer part of his wrist which the Elder couldn't remove.
Niklos sighed for a second before turning towards his father in law, his expression conflicted.
"I'm going to take a look inside Arthur's origin essence sea. I want to know how he defeated them".
Kamila opened her mouth to speak, but didn't say anything, just turning towards her father, who also nodded at the Clan Leader's words.
"I too want to know how Arthur defeated two Rank 2 Fae Masters. If he had a Rank 2 Fae himself, things would be fine".
If it was possible for a Rank 1 Fae Master to defeat Rank 2 Fae Masters then the whole world would be turned upside down.
Being able to challenge Fae Masters an entire realm above their own was a combat strength that relied mainly on Fae and superhuman combat senses that the vast majority of Fae Masters didn't possess.
If Arthur could defeat Fae Masters an entire realm above him consistently then wouldn't it be the same as being a Rank 2 Fae Master?
He would already be unrivalled in his own realm.
Niklos nodded before opening Arthur's shirt and placing a hand on his chest.
Extending his origin essence into Arthur's origin essence sea, he could see all of the Fae that Arthur possessed.
"Moonsword fae.... moonslice fae... water leaf tree.... bloodseeker leaf fae.... camouflage fae.... black smog fae.... wind stalker fae.... hmm? This is.... flash fae? Perhaps some sort of variation?".
Niklos frowned for a second examining this particular fae.
With his attainment and knowledge of fae, he could already discern that this was a flash fae, or at the very least, some sort of variation of it.
Flash fae were extremely common across all Continents and were thoroughly examined, considering they were extremely easy to come across.
Flash fae were created by bright lights. So the sun and fire could create flash fae. They were found everywhere if one knew where to look.
Niklos ignored this particular fae, examining the rest of Arthur's origin essence sea before coming across Arthur's Origin Fae.
"Hmm? Winter Fae.... but why is it so large? And why does it have blue spots?".
This Fae was undoubtably the weirdest thing out of all of Arthur's fae and he extended his origin essence further towards the-.
Niklos' eyes widened as he activated one of his Rank 3 Fae, lion mane fae, stopping Arthur's strike dead in its tracks.
His third son awoke suddenly, and quickly, activating his moonsword fae and slicing upwards, directly at Niklos' neck!
If he didn't activate it in time, his head would've come clean off!
Niklos retreated several steps raising his hands as Arthur lifted his head in every direction, trying to figure out where he was.
After a couple seconds, he came to realise that both of his parents as well as his grandfather was present, causing him to let out a sigh.
"Someone entered my origin essence sea! I thought I had been kidnapped or something!".
Arthur feigned an expression of relief, cupping his forehead in his hand.
He instantly turned towards Niklos, showing an.... apologetic expression.
"Father! I apologize, I didn't mean to try and-".
Niklos waved Arthur off, not letting him finish his words.
"No. Arthur, you don't need to apologize. The fault is.... mine".
He glanced towards his wife and father in law noticing that both of them didn't intend to take the blame for such a thing.
Niklos sighed once more at his family's antics.
"We were worried about your origin essence sea. As well as wondering how you defeated those two Fae Masters. You are aware that both of them were Rank 2?".
Arthur nodded.
"Yes. Yes I was aware".
