Chereads / Heathen, For The World / Chapter 17 - Back To GreyForest

Chapter 17 - Back To GreyForest

" Hey, wake up." Rex heard someone shaking him. After the attack, Rex almost went into a daze and his head was spinning. " Here drink this." Ginny put a potion in his mouth, he gulped a little but the rest were spilt. " Don't waste it! Lie down first" She gave him one more potion.

In just a few minutes he was in a fine condition, Rex shook his head as the area around him started to seem normal.

[ Vitality potion ingested.]

[ 64% Poison neutralised.]

[ Mission still incomplete, Kill all the assassins.]

Rex heard the voice,

" Hey, are you okay?" Ginny asked as she waved her hand in front of him. " Thank you for saving my life."

" No sweat. It's fine." Rex said as he breathed deeply to suppress the pain of poison and wounds.

Ginny levitated the unconscious body of the assassins into one place and bound them with a rope which was being carried by one of the assassins.

" You guys can rot in hell. I am out of this cursed town after I am done with what I came to do here." She said while spitting on them.

" Boy, You are injured and I think it's kind of my fault. I will pay your hospital fee, do not worry about it."

" It's fine, I don't need it. I just want to kill them." He said as he pointed toward the assassins.

" Oh, so you also have some beef with these red salamander guys," Ginny said with an understanding look. " You can kill them if you want."

Rex wasted no time as he threw a shadow dagger at the assassins one by one. ' I was too reckless, I never had to face any fights like this.' This was like a fantasy world, those people moved so skillfully that Rex was not able to take proper actions during the fight.

[ Mission Complete: +5 Strength, +500 Backup points.]

[ Current Stats:-

Class-?

Skills: Shadow Armament, Light Armament.

Strength- 15, Speed- 10, Agility- 10, Endurance- 10, Defence- 0, Mana-10 ( Remaining - 6), Health- 64%.

Equipment: Black Dragon's Suit ( 100% increase in stats, Auto regeneration, shapeshift, +500 defence)]

' Wait a minute, isn't there something wrong with my defence stats, I think the other abilities of this suit are not working as well.'

[ This is a magical item thus it consumes magic if you want to use the abilities. With your mana capacity, you can only use this suit for 10 seconds. ]

' 10 seconds, Is that it? So how do I regenerate it.'

[ Defence effect will be used, and Regeneration will be used. Do you accept?]

' Yes.'

[ -5 Mp.]

The clothes didn't even take seconds to regenerate but the mana cost was too much. There wasn't much to regenerate but it still cost 5 Mp.

" Hey, you, let's go back to the town. You can walk right." Ginny asked, Rex, nodded and followed behind her.

" I have never seen you before, who are you?"

" My name is Rex. I am here to register as an adventurer."

" Really? Why this place? I should tell you this but the adventurer guild is not that powerful in this town. The mercenaries are the ones ruling this place, It is better if you join a mercenary group."

" No, there is no need for that." Rex then looked at Ginny and remembered that he had met her before.

" What are you looking at?" Unknown to Rex he stared for too long.

" I am going to the town, bye." Rex started to walk towards the town. The system was showing him a map of the nearby area, which was pretty convenient for him.

As he walked Ginny also followed him from behind after she took some things from the corpses. She was thinking that the boy will take the loot but when she saw him leaving without taking anything she started to take whatever she thought was worth something.

While Ginny was following the boy from behind, she was very curious about him. Rex fighting the assassins gave Ginny the time to use potions to heal the poison and even prepare a large lightning shock spell to defeat the enemy. However, during that time, she noticed Rex throwing some weird weapons at the enemy. She was intrigued by it because it didn't look like he cast any spells so she was wondering if it was some kind of bloodline ability.

They soon reached the border of the town where the guards were guarding the town's gate. They saw Ginny and Rex come in and stopped them and asked for identification.

" I have lost my ID, I was attacked by someone." Rex made an excuse, he didn't understand why they will not let him enter. The town had a great wall surrounding it which was to prevent any beast from entering the town. To come and go through this side of the fortress one had to show an ID of being a GreyForest resident or pay a fee.

" You will have to pay one silver to enter the town and four silver for a new ID." The guard said.

" I don't have money, I said I got robbed. Can't I pay later?" He said trying to convince the guards.

" Let him enter, I will pay for him," Ginny said as she saw the commotion.

The guards allowed them to enter the town, Rex was looking at a familiar scene, the time when he entered this place as Alvis was different from his current situation.

" You didn't thank me, it's the least you could do," Ginny said with a smug.

" I saved your life."

" Not really, I was the one who knocked all of them. But I appreciate you being a decoy for me."

" Whatever, You said you will pay for my hospital bills, right then give me money."

" I think two silver should be enough, however, I will be generous and give you three," Ginny said with a smug look on her face.

Red did not mind her and started to walk in the direction where the system was showing the location of the hospital. He needed to get bandaged because he was constantly losing blood. Ginny looked at Rex one last time before going on her way.
