One of his leg was broken, his inner organs are clearly suffering from inner shocks, his two elbows are now turned into smithereens and the majority of his bones are cracked.
If not for the absurd ability of the (Regeneration), he would definitely not be able to survive suffering from this.
He looks at his second ability and can see that the timer of its active state is getting closer to finish.
If the battle had gone any longer, he would have definitely lost.
'But still what kind of ability does this brute has?' He inwardly asks.
He is still not capable of sensing if someone other than those that are his target of nurturing using their ability.
Taking off his mask, showing a bloodied face with his lower jaw hanging low.
Without hesitation, he tries to eat the dirt beneath him.
Even with his blood on it, he was forcing himself to swallow.
Pet Spirit Possession is an incredible skill but it also has a timer, he needs to recover as much and as quickly as possible.
He does not know how do he can only opted to use the second ability that he had gained from his two pets.
He eats and barf, then repeat the same process but it does speed up the regeneration process.
He turns to right hand as it can now move but he did not expect that the ability comes with some sort of pain killing effect.
He takes out a couple of hidden pills under his clothing, they are crushed, making it quite difficult to differentiate them.
He can only sigh and bury them under his hill of barf.
Some of the pills he was carrying are poisonous ones, he does not want to die under his own creation.
Standing up, he can feel his body recovering faster, it seems that his hunch was right, eating soil or at least something that can grant him more energy would increase the speed of his regeneration.
'It seems that I need to help my two pets get stronger, who would have thought that their abilities are actually quite great.' He thought.
Limping, he went to grab his broken sword, as long as Mad Bull is breathing, he cannot rest peacefully.
"Even if it is broken, as long as I can cut deeper into his neck, that would certainly do the job." He mutters to himself.
He can't help but smile bitterly after hearing his words, if this was the past him, he would hesitate but after experiencing what it meant to be king to strangers, to your enemies, he no longer has mercy for them.
"I apologize for this, may your soul be reincarnated in a much better life." There is no deep hatred between the two of them, he does not know anything about him.
There is only one fact and that is, he is his enemy and he shall perish underneath his sword.
Without hesitation, he sliced his neck with his broken sword, making the bleeding faster.
His face is full of determination but his hand was trembling, clearly indicating that he is still not that used on killing a man.
Pet Spirit Possession deactivated automatically but his injuries are still there.
He can only sigh and limps towards the base of the Demon Triad.
He used his clothes to hide his face, only his eyes can he seen, he does not want to associate his public life from his underworld life.
He looks at the people that he trained, many of them have died in this battle but the remaining ones still fought fiercely even if they are outnumbered.
Some of his men had taken the berserker pill to boost their strength, making them extremely violent.
He takes a deep breath and roars. "The true martial artist is dead!!!"
His roar made the battlefield paused as the loud battle becomes silent in an instant.
"Mad Alchemist! Mad Alchemist!" His group roars as their morale was in an all time high.
Meanwhile, it was the polar opposite in the other side, after hearing that the leader of their opponent was capable of killing even true martial artists, their morale drops sharply.
Gondez cannot believe what he is hearing, he roars. "Lies! How can lord Mad Bull be defeated by the likes of you!?"
"Foolish idiot! If he was not defeated by me, how come I am the only person that returned? Face it Gondez! Today is the day your group is going to be eradicated in this city! Kill!" One by one, his subordinates starts killing anyone that tries to fight back.
Gondez turns back and starts feeling, upon seeing this, the other members of the Demon Triad also starts fleeing.
Sean inwardly heaves a sigh of relief, he used up all of his strength to just shout.
He has no more strength to continue fighting, with the Demon Triad defeat and his victory over a true martial artist, his reputation would definitely increase.
The number of people that would dare challenge his authority would definitely decrease.
"Boss, should we burn their base?" Asks one of his subordinates.
"No, we will make it our own, loot anything that you find valuable and split it amongst yourselves, also give some compensation to any family members or lovers that our fallen brothers have." He casually stated.
This is the main reason why his group are always raring for a fight because he never take any money from their opponent, he let them all have it.
The amount of money he receives from them is greater anyway and it is also stable too.
"Boss, if we are going to takeover this base, we need more men." States Beggar.
Sean nods his head. "I am planning to start a company that sells monsters as pet or food, we should hire both fighters, chefs and hunters for this."
The surviving ones were surprised by this, they always deal with medicines and nothing more, this is the first time they are hearing that their boss wants to expand.
"Okay boss, leave this to me." Beggar hurriedly promised, afraid that the others would steal this opportunity.
"As expected of you, I will leave the recruitment to you, do a good job and you shall be the leader of this base." Hearing this, Beggar's eyed lights up.
Meanwhile, the other gang members were regretful that they were too slow.
"Pack everything up, I am going back, I need to talk to the authorities about my plan, we might be people of the other side but we still need to have a good relationship with the authorities." Waving goodbye to them, he limps back to the city.
"It seems that Boss is injured." One of the gang members mutters.
The others look at him as if he was a fool, Beggar lashes out on him. "You idiot! Of course he is injured, he just f*cking fought a true martial artist!"
Meanwhile, in his walk back to the city, Sean was watching his status.
[Current Realm: Skin Tempering 7th Stage
Innate: Dual Soul Strength
Ability: Nurture (Slots: 1/2), Pet Spirit Possession (Slots: 1/2)]
He had broken through two levels in just one battle, sure, he had broken a lot of his bones, tears his muscles and ripped his skin in the process but this still came of a shock to him.
This is the first time he had level up this quickly which confuses him.
He cannot help but thought. "Was I really right? Is my misunderstanding about my ability caused my body to be in a weakened state?"
There is a reason why people of this world only started to train true martial arts at the age of eighteen.
It is incredibly dangerous for them and they are prone to mutation, it seems that the only reason why he did not suffer this because of the existence of his first ability.
"It seems that I was truly reckless when I was young, I need to continue using my second ability to heal any unknown trauma I suffered in this world." He mutters to himself.
Unfortunately for him, this mean that he cannot risk working his body too much for the next couple of days.
"A rest, it seems that the only thing I can do." He chuckles.
Returning back to the city, he first went to their hideout to change, his clothes have become torn rags and his mask no longer exist.
Unknowingly, he had fallen asleep inside his room, the exhaustion has fallen to him.
Several hours later, he wakes up while feeling groggy and thirsty.
"What? Oh, my back, how long was I asleep?" He tries to get back.
CRACKING! His back starts cracking, the sensation was heavenly.
"D*mn! It seems that I had pushed my body too much." He laughs in a deprecating manner.
"I guess I can only go to the station tomorrow, I need to meet up with Adonis and tell him about the little lie that I told mom and dad."
