Arc who was satisfied with his food but disappointed in his eating capacity was sitting and thinking that he should persevere with the meat of other bull monsters for later as these monsters can be preserved for at least 5 days without the use of any modern equipment.
He collected the meat put in it its bag and closed its air seal so it lasted for a longer time. At that moment, his head had a sudden pain sting. With that, his vision started to blur down eventually making the sight turn black.
His body slumped to the ground on his face as he was leaning ahead a little. This made a thud sound which was heard by everyone, including Gojo who was now out of his thoughts.
Gojo quickly appeared next to Arc and held his head in his arms. Gojo sat and took the head of Arc into his lap.
"Rimuru bring your healing gel here, quickly," Gojo said.
"But leader, he does not appear wounded physically at talk. So, I don't think that healing gel will have any effect on Arc." Rimuru said stating the facts of the situation of Arc after his little observation.
"Maybe it's some internal injury? Just bring the gel, we will see if it will work on him." Gojo made a speculation he wasn't sure of himself.
Rimuru did not have any choice but to follow along with his leader, and it's not like he cared much about this gel because this is just a prototype series 1 and needed tests before its value was set and his family provided him with this to use on some people as some experimental study.
Arc himself was seeing the blurred images of someone with a sword and a golden aura fighting the creatures that looked like they were made out of darkness or some black fog-like substance. But the man whose face he can't see properly charged through them while easily wiping them out.
Then Arc saw that Man had turned in his direction while saying, "Demon General Kubara is killed along with other demon generals. Now, only weak demons and Demon King Asura Curse. I may not last enough to kill them, so you will have to be the one to kill them. I entrust you to the inheritance that will eventually make its way to you."
With these words that blurt images all disappeared. But he was still in that state where he could think but he was only seeing darkness.
For Arc, it might be a little time, but outside a long time has passed. Gojo was looking intently at the Arc with his eyes that were now completely dark black, even the white part was not there, it was all black.
"You have been in this state for a long time now. I thought I was gonna fail my task before it even began but your body is in optimal condition. No damage, no energy attacking you. So, what is it that makes you go to this state of Bardo." Gojo muttered to himself.
He was sitting on a chair right across the stone bed unconscious Arc was lying on. They were all now inside the shelter. Those without injuries carried ones who were unconscious due to healing gel and wounded ones.
Gojo himself carried the Arc and his stuff. They arrived just before the door was about to be closed.
Gojo had also made the announcement that every transaction or deal would be made tomorrow and they would visit the market together on next day. They were all told to sleep that whole night.
Gojo turned his back to normal when he didn't find anything about Arc's situation.
'I think, I should go to Rimuru and ask for more healing help for Arc for future use, even though I would be now more thoughtful to not let Arc go into areas for which he is ill-equipped and ill-trained.' Gojo thought and left to go to the Rimuru's room.
In the meantime, Gojo just left. Arc started recovering from the state he was in. Instead of a splitting headache, it was a relaxing and soothing feeling like he was freed from some sort of shackle he had been in for a long time.
This refreshing feeling did not last for long and disappeared like a father running to get milk. He felt like he was losing some memories and skills that have been always there, but he could not just point out what that was about.
"Don't use too much medical jel or it would reduce the natural healing capacity of the body over the time unless person using it has done the first evolution," Rimuru explained to Gojo. He would not have said this to anyone else and let them use it however they wanted under the sight so he could collect the data live.
Gojo walking down the way to his room was thinking that his family would definitely go crazy over knowing that someone bullied his team and even injured them. His family is really too proud and too obsessive over maintaining the pride.
Then he heard a sound coming from the direction of his room, Gojo's first thought was that it must be caused by Arc or someone trying to sneak attack like one in the forest.
His steps quickened and he instantly arrived outside the room. Opening the door, Gojo was met with the sight of Arc falling to the ground while struggling to stand up.
"Rest and don't try to move because healing gel is still in effect and maybe your body is numb and can't properly use normal body functions. So, what happened to you? We didn't find any injuries on your body." Gojo said stating his query.
"What did you just say you did to my body? You dirty pervert." Arc said while being in fright.
Arc started checking his body upside down and found that the locket given to him by his dad was not there on his neck.
"Where is my locket, Have you seen it?" Arc asked the next second quickly before Gojo could even respond to his first remarks of him being called a pervert.
