Chapter 19 - Safest place

A smell of Blood lingered in the area, which appeared filled with marks and prints. 

 

As if a bloody battle occurred here; a cold corpse could be seen in the center. It was a giant, and the head of the Demonic Beast looked menacing; a shocked expression could be seen on his face.

 

Surrounding it was a small pond of Dark Red Blood; its presence attracted several small Demonic Beasts.

 

They approached the corpse cautiously, constantly keeping an eye on it. First, they slowly encircled it; how could they not be careful when the corpse was of someone that had terrified the nearby area?

 

Making sure it was not alive, they approached the corpse with their mouth-watering, unable to control their attraction to high-quality Demonic Meat.

 

'Screech!' A loud cry appeared in the sky, which made them look at the sky.

 

A giant creature covered in Dark ribbons throughout its body appeared; a glint of moonlight could be seen in its crimson eyes.

 

Mounting on it was a lady covered in a large Black Cloak; her Scarlet eyes looked below. She saw many Demonic Beast surrounding the corpse and released a Blood-curdling Scream.

 

The air below her shook; The sound waves traveled and shook everything. Demonic Beasts felt splitting pain in their head and ran away with their tails tucked within their legs. 

 

'Whoosh!' The creature descended gently, flapping its wings; the lady jumped midair, approaching the corpse.

 

Her eyes shone in Scarlet glow, "How can it Be like this? Nothing could happen him."

 

She looked at the Beast with its body covered in long, thick fur; Amon's presence was coming from it.

 

"It can't be? Did it eat Amon," A worried expression appeared on her face as she checked it.

 

Her eyes fall on the sword, stabbing it in its neck; she searched around and saw fingers. "Is it him?" She flipped the corpse quickly, and her eyes fell on the Boy below it the next moment.

 

He appeared to be covered in wounds. However, she could see he was still alive. She took out a small glass vial with a green liquid inside it.

 

Removing the wooden cork gently, she opened his mouth and made him swallow it. Her hands stroked his head as he lay on her lap.

 

Soon, his situation improved, and his body shook; he started breathing normally and gently opened his eyes.

 

A face appeared before him pale as moonlight; it was of a scarlet-eyed woman with black colored lines beneath each of her eyes that were etched like tears.

 

All his uneasiness blew away; he closed them again as if it were the safest place in the world.

 

If there was someone he trusted other than her mother, It was this lady. While she is always strict with him, he could see worry and care in her eyes.

 

She looked at the corpse and beheaded it before dissecting it and removing valuable parts. This was Amon's first big Hunt; she wanted to show it to Madam.

 

The corpse was devoured by the Gian five meter long winged creature.

 

After she was done, she mounted the back of the creature, and it raised its wigs before launching itself to the sky.

 

***

Amon opened his eyes again. He felt a slight headache, but it was bearable. He checked his wounds and discovered they were way better than expected.

 

He saw a heart placed on a plate; it looked like someone had processed it and made it edible. He was hungry, so he started eating it without wasting a second.

 

The moment he did that, he found out his Regeneration started healing him faster, 'It's not bad,' he had never thought he would say something like this, but it was the truth.

 

He also felt that Prana inside him was increasing, making him stronger. "What have they done to make it have such an effect? I don't believe it's only because of the strength of the Beast."

 

After finishing it, he sat with his legs crossed and back straight and started using 

Prana Heal, With earn turn, his body started healing rapidly.

 

He had healed successfully; this time, he was able to perform cyclic Prana Heal. In which he was able to heal while also recovering his Prana constantly.

 

The technique he had seen the strange man using in his Vision.

 

"Who is that guy? Why does he come into my Vision?"

 

He was confused about that person's identity. He could see those visions and learn something whenever he was in dire need.

 

When he could not find anything, even after guessing for a while, he forgot it. 

 

"Let's focus on what I have learned; I should write them down." He moved to the desk nearby and placed a paper on the table.

 

He then carefully picked the feathered pen, dipping it slowly in the black ink. He started moving it through the paper.

 

It continued for a while before he stopped; he had summarised mostly about Prana.

 

"Prana is Present Everywhere, and there are many ways in which it could be used. It requires breath and focus to control it."

He looked at the notes he had written.

 

[I have learned four basic abilities of it;

First is Prana Sense; It can be used to Sense Prana in the surroundings.

Second is Prana Flow, The ability to control and move it around.

Third is Prana Transfer, the ability to transfer it into a particular part and object to gain a stronger effect.

Fourth is Prana Heal, the ability to Heal wounds using Prana.]

 

"I think there is still many things about it that I don't know; Maybe I will be able to learn about them in School."

 

He was thinking about it when he saw his mother approaching; he lay on the bed and pretended to be resting.

 

A smile appeared on Vallier's lips when she noticed her son's actions.

 

  She sat beside him and stroked his head; he opened his eyes and enjoyed it. When she saw him acting cute, she kissed him on the forehead.

Checking his body, she noticed he had recovered. This made her sigh in relief. She thought she would need to use that spell again. However, it was not meant to be used again and again.

Amon fell asleep as he enjoyed the care of his mother. Vallaire's eyes shone as golden chains came out of her body.

They connected to Amon and started nourishing his body; It was as if he was still connected to her. She stopped after a while when sweat started appearing on her forehead.
