Chapter 205: Rending Tornado
It wasn’t until late the following night that the trio left the area.
Their injuries weren’t nearly as fatal as those of their opponents, but they were still quite serious. Micky’s wings were full of small holes, making it difficult for him to fly. And rather painful. While Nesha wasn’t in any danger of bleeding out, she couldn’t walk on her maimed leg. As for Percy, he had it the worst among the three. His whole body was swollen, his skin purple and bleeding in many spots.
“Such a waste…” he sighed, looking at the handful of green mushrooms left in his spatial amulet.
Most of his stash had been destroyed inside the trap they killed Dranold with. The rest, they’d consumed to fix the worst of their injuries, just barely allowing them to move. Naturally, the mushrooms were far less effective when eaten raw. Sadly, Percy didn’t have the time or mental capacity to figure out how to brew them into potions right now.
“Do you want to take a detour to the Trollsden before we go? We can get some more from the trolls.” Nesha suggested.
He grimaced at the sound of that. Honestly, he’d spent enough time in the Grisly Bog to last him a lifetime. Even over the past day, he and Micky had stayed in the swamp, having plenty of tasks to tend to.
Among them, was cleaning up the various battlefields, getting rid of any lingering runes. The enchantments Percy used weren’t anything special, but the Vault’s script still differed from Remior’s. He’d rather not deal with the fallout if somebody stumbled upon them by accident. Being hunted for the Aurora Dew was bad enough.
Plus, he also wanted to salvage some of his constructs’ pieces. Obviously, they didn’t bother scooping every last shard from the filth. It was too much work. Especially limping and in pain as they were. That said, they managed to collect some of the still-intact scythes and the largest fragments they could find. All in all, Percy retrieved about 20% of his teal powder, adding another week or two of accumulation to his trusty jar. Not that he was looking forward to replenishing the rest, or reforging his armour.
“Nah. Let’s leave it. Honestly, I just want to go home right now.”
