When I woke back up, I felt piercing pain throughout my body. That wasn’t great - but at least nothing had eaten while I was asleep.
I spent a few seconds analyzing my own condition, before I groaned.
I still had several broken bones, and my body hurt a lot. I felt like I had been hit by a train - even existing hurt.
Luckily, during the ti I was unconscious, I had regenerated so of my essence. I glanced around, to make sure that nothing else had been attracted to the area while I had slumbered, and then poured most of my alteration essence into a Renewal.
Bones knit back together. Flesh restored itself, and even grew to cover so chunks of my arm that I had lost soti during the fight. Cuts stitched themselves over my raw flesh and blood, and my pain gradually shrank. By the ti I ran out of essence, I wasn’t quite fully healed, but I could definitely walk and move around again - I just needed to be careful, since so of my bones weren’t fully recovered yet. If I moved too fast, or put too much force on my body, I would probably break a few bones again. However, another hour or two of essence regeneration would bring right back to perfect condition.
I gingerly sat up, and inspected the body of the giant centipede again. This thing had really done a number on - its resistance against spatial tripwires had been incredibly troubling, especially when paired with my lack of friends to help manage the fight. If Sallia had been here, I had no doubt she could have started shearing off its legs one after another, until the accursed creature couldn’t walk, and then we could’ve just whittled it down from a distance… I sighed.
The fact that the hero trials separated from my friends was really frustrating.
My friends!
I had been so focused on the fight that I hadn’t told them what I had experienced! What if they ran into their own dangerous monsters and died because I didn’t let them know that they needed to be careful? I imdiately focused on my communication bracelet.
I said.
I felt a distinct pause from my friends, before Felix sent a ssage.
