With the aid of his enhanced [Nature's Blessing] Ery was able to dislodge the blockage preventing her from regaining consciousness. He shook her body and called out.
"Morgana!"
He shouted as loud as he could, hoping the girl would sohow hear it from behind the veil of her own mind. However, the girl showed no sign of stirring. There was no reaction whatsoever.
Ery checked on her body with the aid of the healing vines, making sure nothing else was out of place. Everything was fine, yet she did not move at all.
He did another check and realized In a normal human brain, there should usually be a minimum activity, at least to control the basic reflexes. But in hers, there was none.
Even though the blockage has been dislodged, whatever part of it hurt her had already affected her brain. Or at least, that was the only hypothesis Ery could co up with. After all, Ery was first and foremost a potion master, not a dicine specialist with real knowledge.
Once again, he stood next to the girl and stared at her with a helpless gaze. There were only 4 days left. He had worked hard in the last 9 months, but the girl showed no signs of improvent, let alone stir even slightly.
Stage 5 nature core was the only thing he could depend on for hopes of her recovery, and now it had failed too. Ery had no other ans to help her. At least, there was no way he could procure sothing to help her within the span of four days.
Ery held the girl's hand, intertwining his fingers with hers and said, his words full of regret and pain.
"I am sorry, I have failed you again… it appears I keep breaking my promises … I am so sorry…"
Ery took a seat next to Gaia and started using his [Nature's Grasp]. Roots and vines from the ground moved and restrained his body, before showering him with motes of green energy that was quickly absorbed by his skin.
With his new stage 5 nature core, his Nature's Grasp ability could quickly recover the energy he spent monts ago with the aid of the ambient natural energy in the air. As such, there was no need to worry too much about energy, as long as he was not too tired or wounded to recover it afterwards.
Afterwards, he closed his eyes and used his [Nature Sense] together with spirit reading. With the two techniques working together, Ery was able to feel every inch of the Forbidden Forest. Even the tiniest movents from the smallest creatures did not escape his notice.
As he reached the new stage, his spirit reading ability has been multiplied yet again. Now, Ery could sense the presence of anything and feel any place as far as 100 miles all around him, enough to reach halfway to Calot City.
As he thought about Calot, he realized sothing. There was actually a quickly way to increase his power.
"Why didn't I think about that before!"
Ery quickly stood up, opened his [Spatial Gate] and arrived in front of Calot's gates.
As soon as he arrived, he used his spirit reading to look for one certain person: Arthur Pendragon. He found the king sitting in a room of the Calot Castle, surrounded by several knights.
Ery opened another spatial gate and arrived out of thin air right in the middle of the room.
With his sudden arrival out of thin air, the knights surrounding Arthur stood up, alard by his presence.
In contrast to their wariness, however, Arthur looked at him in elation and shouted. "rlin!"
As soon as he saw rlin, Arthur ran towards him and gave him a warm hug.
"My friend! You finally ca."
Gaious, who stood next to the king, was also smiling at Ery's arrival, and for once, Ery was relieved Gwen was not standing among them.
"Did you just co out from training? How powerful you must be now… " Arthur mused, while looking at him from top to bottom.
On one hand, Ery was glad for the warm treatnt, but on the other hand, he was pressed for ti. However before he could say a word, Arthur suddenly said
"rlin, How is Morgana? Is she alright?"
Ery was taken back surprised by Arthur's question and said.
"Actually that is why I am here, I ca to borrow the sword... it might help her" Ery said.
The one thing he stupidly did not think before was using the Divine Sword Excalibur as a power enhancer. The sword able to boost 200 spirit force during his last fight with the Nephilim Hades, with that much added power Ery may have so hope in restoring Morgana's consciousness.
Hearing Ery's question, Arthur was stunned for a second but he gave his answer with no trace of hesitation in his voice. "Yes, of course"
But, Arthur quickly added. "Now that you are here, I actually wanted to show you sothing. The sword is there as well… co, walk with ."
Arthur led him towards the familiar hallways leading to the throne room. As they walked together, Ery noticed there were a few changes to the interior, so of the rooms were changed as well. Even the usual red and gold banner of Logress had been changed into blue and silver; the symbol embroidered on them had been slightly tweaked too.
When they reached the throne room, Ery saw the throne was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a large round table with a dozen seats surrounding it, and each seat except one had a knight standing in front of it.
There were a few friendly faces among them; Sir Yvain, Sir Gawain, Sir Galahad, Sir Bor, Sir Dagonet, Sir Percival. And 4 new young knights one of them was Sir Tristan, the young archer he beat in the competition.
All of them have placed their swords on the round table, their tip pointing towards the center.
As Ery and Arthur entered the room, the knights all turned around to face them and gave them a salute by knocking their blades' handles on the stone table.
"rlin, you might not yet have heard about it, but many things have changed since the end of the battle 9 months ago…"
"Yes, I can see that..." Ery answered, implicitly asking Arthur to continue.
"In short, the seven kingdoms of Briton are no more. Now, there is only Brittania and us, the Knights of the round table."
