Chapter 1131 Living Beings
"Elder thank you for coming"
Ery was very grateful for the fact that such an esteed figure had agreed to his invitation, willing to co and help him.
The grand magus, however, looked towards him as if he knew what was in his mind and spoke with a sharp gaze saying, "I ca only for the young fella, tell what happened."
Ery quickly began to explain what had happened from the start until the situation at hand, and as the explanation went towards the end, the face of the elder gradually showed apparent disappointnt.
When Ery finished the explanation, Grand Magus Yvere didn't say anything. He just entered the lab where Twik was lying in at the mont, and despite feeling awkward, Ery swiftly followed suit.
He watched as the grand magus' hand turned into a glowing root and approached Twik, crawling into the latter's body. Monts later, the elderly man finally spoke.
"You may be a talented apothecary, but you shouldn't play around with life."
The sentence struck Ery's chord and pierced deep into his heart. What the grand magus was sowhat true, as he did play around with such high-tier volatile substances and used the plant creature as an experint, which led to Twik's current plight.
While still probing the circumstance within Twik's body, Grand Magus Yvere added on his previous words. "Unless it doesn't cross your mind that these plant creatures are real, living beings"
The guilty feeling in his heart got worse when Ery heard the grand magus' sharp words. "No, elder. I never thought of them like that.. They are very important companions to ."
The old man briefly turned his gaze hearing that, and seeing the sincere and regretful look on Ery's face, he heaved a sigh of helplessness before saying, "You're just reckless then."
At this mont, Ery realized that the reason the elder acted differently than the first ti they t was because of his actions toward his plant creatures. Now that he has explained himself, the cold attitude the latter gave sowhat lessened.
However, that cold attitude was nowhere to be seen towards Twik, as the grand magus attentively and carefully took care of the plant creature.
Ery just silently waited and observed so that he didn't disturb the other party. And a few minutes later, Grand Magus Yvere finally spoke again.
"This one has a powerful core within.. So he should be alright."
Ery was overjoyed hearing that from the grand magus but then, what happened next was that Twik's life sign suddenly weakened rapidly while his body began to dry up and turn gray.
Just as he was about to get hysterical at such a sight, Ery saw black smoke rising from Twik's body. Before he could even think of what the black smoke was, Grand Magus Yvere's hand flashed a bright light as he cast a spell.
[Revival]
Even from a distance, Ery could clearly feel it was a spell that was filled with an abundance of life. The smidgen of light that reached him gave off a comforting feeling, its warmth like the morning sun touching the skin.
On the other hand, changes began to happen on Twik. His dried, gray body gradually recovered its healthy green color again. A few monts later, a twitch was seen and the little guy finally opened his eyes.
"Kuang.. ku.. ku"
Upon seeing that, a wide bright smile appeared on Ery's face.
"TWIK! You're back, buddy!"
"Kuang.."
Ery was about to rush and hug the little guy, but before he could do so, Grand Magus Yvere stopped him with a gesture of his hand. As he looked at him, the grand magus said, "The young fella needs to rest. He hasn't fully recovered yet."
Seeing the grand magus turn his body and seem to be about to leave, Ery stopped the grand magus by him doing a ninety-degree bow saying, "Thank you.. Thank you, elder... But.. elder, please.. I have another..."
What Ery asked next was none other than the Chizpur Fangs that he left frozen in his spirit cave. He wanted the grand magus' help for that as well but couldn't say it out loud since it was a selfish request on his part. After all, the other party had no obligation to help him.
Grand Magus Yvere looked at the bowing figure of Ery and was silent for a while. In the end, he just heaved a deep sigh and said, "Alright. Take there."
Ery's face brightened when he heard that, and he quickly nodded. However, just as he was about to lead the grand magus to where the Chizpur Fangs were, the two of them were distracted by sothing.
Hearing the conversation, Twik, whose body was lying weakly, forced himself to get up. It looked like the little guy wanted to tag along. Given his condition, Ery and Grand Magus Yvere told him to continue to rest and not co along, but the forr insisted.
"Kuang.. Kuang!"
Through [One Mind], Ery knew what Twik felt and wanted to say. Apparently, he felt responsible for the entire situation and wanted to see the others' condition with his own eyes. Surprisingly Grand Magus Yvere seed able to understand the little guy's words.
With that, the matter was decided.
Ery walked over to Twik, grabbed the weakened little guy, and put him in his arms before the three of them exited the Hyperion center.
The grand magus summoned a flying ship completely made out of parts of various plants. After being srized by the unique aesthetic for a while, Ery boarded the ship together with Twik. Imdiately after, the ship moved and flew through the air at breakneck speed.
The group of three departed from Hyperion center and arrived at Ery's spirit cave in just a few minutes. As soon as they walked inside, the five senior Chizpur Fangs welcod the group in a jubilant mood.
"Ku ku ku..."
After caressing their heads, Ery led Grand Magus Yvere into his spirit cave. They made their way into the garden, where they were greeted by the sight of 18 ice statues and a dozen piles of dust surrounding them.
Without further ado, the grand magus approached one of the statues containing the Chizpur Fang. The mont his hand touched the cold surface, a bright like appeared and the ice statue started to lt.
Once again, his hand turned to root and started to intrude the body of the stationary young Chizpur Fang.
The scene made Twik let out a whimper, to which Ery quickly addressed.
"Don't worry, Twik. I'm sure the elder can help them.."
Grand Magus Yvere only spent a few seconds examining the little creature before withdrawing his hand. While Ery looked at him with a confused face, the grand magus sighed and turned his gaze towards the two of them.
"Unfortunately, just as I thought.. This young plant has no strength to resist the foreign substance."
After saying those words, the grand magus did sothing that shocked Ery and Twik. A bright white light shot out of his hand and swept over the area, turning all 18 ice statues containing the newly-created Chizpur Fang to dust.
"Kuang kuang!!"
Twik turned hysterical and tried to break free from Ery's arms who imdiately held the little guy the mont the light appeared. Still, he gritted his teeth as he watched the dust – remnants of the lives he created – scattering onto the ground.
However, the grand magus apparently still wasn't finished. He cast another spell, and once again Ery felt a familiar sensation of warmth invading the garden.
[Revival]
Just like what happened in the lab, as the light spread across the garden, the dust seed to be absorbed into the ground. A mont later, there was a slight movent visible where the dust had been and a small yellow seedling blood in its place
All 18 new yellow seedlings grew on the ground.
"This is all I can do for them." said the grand magus.
