"Koff!"
'Fuck, that wasn't the best choice.'
I couldn't feel my limbs, and my body hurt too much to get up. Why the hell did I hold on to him? I could have walked away, then detonated it.
But there was the possibility that he would flee or deactivate it.
I tried to say a word, but all that came out was a cough of blood. I wanted to scream to my heart's content, but I couldn't even articulate a word.
That I can't feel them means that something very bad has happened. Some nerves may have been cut.
'Should I be grateful that I can't feel my body?'
If the nerves were still connected, I might have fainted from the pain coming from them.
"Koff!"
'Is the medicine still in my mouth?'
I used my tongue, and searched for the medicinal pill among the pieces of tooth and blood that were inside my mouth. But I couldn't either, I didn't feel anything where the tongue should be.
'Damn, is anything intact?'
I tried to feel the pill with my half-cut tongue, but I couldn't.
"Koff!"
I don't think I have much choice, I just have to swallow the entire contents, hoping the pill is still her.
"Glup."
The sensation was disgusting, the pieces of teeth were very sharp, and the metallic taste of blood did nothing to sweeten the taste.
"Coff, coff..."
If the pill is still there, the effects should show within a few minutes. And if not, I will bleed to death or starve. I don't think I will last long in this state.
Sigh, I don't even know what position I'm in; I think my nape is in contact with the ground, but I can't say the same about the rest of my body. …it is possible that the limbs are entirely split.
'I have never believed in any God; but if you really exist, help me.'
The only thing I did was pray for my life. There may be no God on Earth, or there may be. But it's better to believe in it right now, I have nothing to lose.
"Fwooosh!"
'Yeeeeeessss, fuck you!'
From my chest, a beam of light was emitted and pierced my skin. It was bright white in color and exuded an aura of holiness. I couldn't expect anything less from the best pill in my inventory.
The effects showed quickly, and I felt tingles in every part of my body.
But all this did not come without a price; The effects were strong, but not instantaneous. Therefore, I need to endure the torture of feeling every part of my body placed in the right place; It's not pleasant at all.
"Aaaaah!"
"Cough!"
Throughout the entire process, I screamed and coughed everything I had accumulated. What came out of my mouth was not just liquid blood. There were also solid objects that I didn't even know what they were.
It is possible that it was fragmented bones, or parts of damaged organs.
I'd rather not know where it came from, I just hope it's good enough to make a full recovery.
After a long venting session, I finally recovered enough to get up from the ground. The pain was still present, but it was possible to ignore it.
I hadn't fully recovered, as there were parts of the skin where they were still exposed. The rotation apparently saved me, but it also scraped off a thick layer of skin.
Once up, I looked at my hands and body in surprise. It's one thing to hear and see fragments of memories; and it's another thing entirely different to watch a miracle happening right in front of my eyes.
It was as chilling as it was magnificent, it's as if my skin cells were alive, and repairing themselves. If I had to describe the sensation, it would be like having bugs crawling all over my body, Disturbing, creepy, and disgusting.
I can't complain, it's lucky that I'm alive.
It would be hard to believe everything that happened if it hadn't happened to myself. How could I imagine that I would be saved by the spirit of a Heavenly Weapon residing in my soul?
With immense joy, I looked towards the heavens and shouted:
"Fuck you, I'm still alive!"
'Where the hell is that bastard?'
Smoke was still coming from the explosion site, making it difficult for me to see the ground. Patiently, I looked around for the body. It didn't take me long to find it; since, until recently, I was still holding on to him.
'Hehe.'
I didn't know his life or death, but I approached the 'corpse' with a sinister smile in my mouth. You shouls prays that you died due to the collision; Because if not, let's have some fun together.
At a distance of one meter, I took off my shoes, and threw the shoe hard towards his face.
"Thud!"
The collision caused a loud noise, but the body still showed no sign of life.
'Would it have been enough to kill him?'
I approached the murderer and looked closely at his body.
He is missing an arm and two legs; I am impressed that his ribcage is still intact. Although understandable, his cultivation was higher than mine, so it took him much longer to reset his base.
I became a normal human around the time of falling, but he might have still been at the 'Qi Practitioner' stage.
I rested my left ear on his mouth, trying to feel for any sign of life. After a full 4 minutes of checking, I finally felt relieved.
'He died.'
In my mind, there was still a chance for the man to survive since he was stronger than me; but it seems that he was too upset by the situation and could not react in time.
With relief, I rested my butt on the grass floor, and lay down with my hands and legs extended.
'Sigh, it's finally over.'
I know that this is only the first test I have faced, but its difficulty was not low. Although, with the sword's overpowered protective barrier, I could have come up with some better ideas than that.
'Well, it's all in the past.'
What I have to think about right now is what my next move will be. I know from the boy's memories that this world is not peaceful at all. Death stalks every path I take; I need to carefully decide my next steps.
I turned my head towards the corpse.
It is unlikely that a murderer has suddenly appeared, will there be someone behind him? Who will want to kill this child?
'...'
Sigh, the number of people who want him dead is too high to count with only two hands.
The boy has not lived a quiet life, he has always been getting into multiple problems, playing with women, and killing left and right.
I slapped my face with my left hand, now that I no longer have the heavenly aura, I can't rely on luck like him.
The little kid has left me a lot of problems, damn it.
