Chapter 18 - Cleon Almost Died

Cleon's body was thrown far enough to hit the earthen wall again. His body looks very weak, the attacks given are so strong and fast that he can't keep up with that speed. He seemed to close his eyes as he felt some of his bones break.

"Healing!!"

With the healing magic he had it could be overcome, but the more he used healing magic the faster his mana drained. Cleon tried to stand up again, his eyes looked quite sharp.

The monster looks like the Oars, has two large horns and also sharp fangs. His screams were so loud they were ear-splitting, but with such a large body he could move as fast as lightning, it was impossible for Cleon to fight against such a monster.

But Cleon didn't seem to give up easily, he prepared to counterattack. Cleon took out a wand and raised it towards the sky. An enormous energy appeared, a huge gust of wind formed a vortex.

Seen several fireballs began to appear above Cleon, getting bigger and bigger. Cleon looked quite burdened with that much magic, but he still tried to control the magic he cast.

Five large fireballs have formed now Cleon focuses his magic and shapes the fireball so that it turns into a dragon head. Cleon looked ready to attack, the monster also looked at the fire dragon that appeared. With a single beat, Cleon directed the fire dragon's attack.

"Fire Dragon Cannon!!"

The five fire dragons' attacks from Cleon shot very quickly at the monster, but the monster looked normal and took Cleon's attack head-on.

"Duuaarrrgghh!!"

A huge explosion occurred, Cleon was seen gasping for air and fell to his knees as his attack consumed too much mana. His eyes were still looking at the puff of smoke caused by Cleon's explosive attack. But suddenly a spiked mace was ready to hit in front of Cleon.

"Unlucky!"

"Duaaarrgghhh!!"

For the third time Cleon received an attack from the monster, his body crashed into the earthen wall and fell. Cleon was seen closing his eyes as he endured the pain that spread throughout his body. His breath was panting irregularly, slowly his eyes began to darken and finally he was unconscious.

**

Elsewhere, the body of a man lies lying, his eyes still closed with his slightly shabby clothes. He is Cleon who is still unconscious, he is now at Ava's house. There was Ava treating Cleon's wounds using herbal leaves because Ava couldn't use healing magic.

Ava's face looked a little worried because Cleon had been unconscious for two days. He himself did not expect this to happen to Cleon, it was beyond Ava and Grandpa's expectations.

"How are things?" asked Grandpa who suddenly came in.

"Her body is stable, she has an amazing healing process in her body. It's no wonder he can survive," replied Ava.

"I was too careless, I didn't expect him to appear. Luckily I noticed it quickly so he can still be saved."

"Who do you mean Grandpa?"

Suddenly Cleon's hand moved, making both of their eyes fall on Cleon. Cleon slowly started to open his eyes, he looked confused and tried to get up. But Ava immediately restrained her body to remain lying down.

"Don't move too much," Ava said as she got her a drink and then slowly drank it to Cleon.

"Rest until your mana recovers. You almost died because the mana in your body was running low and you also got a big hit," Grandpa said.

Cleon was silent and looked a little confused by Grandpa's words, he looked at Ava with a questioning look but Ava just smiled while nodding her head. Cleon just obeyed and remained lying on the bed.

Cleon slowly tried to move his arms which were quite limp, this time he felt again the last time he ran out of mana until he fainted, but this time it was much worse.

"What you drank earlier was a special potion to speed up mana recovery, maybe tomorrow you'll be back to normal," said Ava.

"But what exactly happened?" Cleon asked still not knowing what had happened to him.

"Something happened unexpectedly that made you like this, Grandpa said like that. For more details, just ask Grandpa tomorrow," answered Ava as she stood up and walked out.

"You rest, don't be reckless," Ava reminded.

Cleon just nodded his head as a sign that he understood Ava's words. Cleon tried to feel his head and some parts of his body that hurt, he also felt that some of his bones which were quite sore might crack or even break. This time he couldn't use healing magic, some of the potions attached to Cleon's body really helped to relieve the pain in his body.

"So this is the herbal plant that Ava was looking for at that time, it turns out to be very useful in this kind of situation. I almost underestimated it because I can use healing magic," Cleon muttered when he realized that.

At that time Cleon decided to get up and sit down, he would try to meditate to gather mana so he could recover. Cleon sat with his legs crossed, he looked quite troubled because many parts of his body hurt. He began to close his eyes and concentrate.

Cleon's aura became more and more stable, he could slowly feel the mana starting to gather even in small amounts. He meditated for hours until the morning.

Cleon opened his eyes and felt the great energy in his body, the mana that had been nearly depleted was now recovering. Di immediately used healing magic to heal all the wounds in his body.

"Healing!!"

A green aura appeared all over Cleon's body, slowly all the wounds began to heal. But Cleon just realized this time he used a large amount of mana this time to use healing magic.

"Is my body that bad that it requires this much mana to do healing magic?" Cleon muttered questioning that to himself.

Cleon's body has completely returned, it's just that the mana he has accumulated has decreased drastically, but that's not a problem. Under such circumstances it would be easy for him to recover his mana back.

Cleon came out of the room to breathe fresh air that morning, he saw Ava who was cooking.

"How's your body?" Ava asked when she saw Cleon come out.

"The potion you gave was very helpful, thank you Ava," said Cleon with a smile.

"Drink this, it is the same potion you drank last night."
