Chapter 268: Test on others first. (2/2)

The amount inside their bodies might only be accumulated if they used it more than a hundred times. And that too when they didn't have any injuries in the first place so the essence was not used for healing them.

There was not a doubt that such a thing was impossible, so there must be some other reason for this.

Sigh...

No matter how much he thought about it, Ozul couldn't find any proper reason that could explain it.

”Let's go...” he told the duo before slowly taking off in a certain direction while his thoughts still lingered on this topic.

By now, Raven and Blaze had recovered enough to follow behind him as they coated a few parts of their bodies that still hurt with Mana to ease the pain.

Instead of taking them back to the headquarters, Ozul led the duo to the closest city to them.

As for the question about if he should leave his essence be inside their body or take it out, Ozul chose the former.

There weren't any side effects till now and he didn't know how long it had been that the essence was inside their bodies.

If he had found anything wrong with it, then he would have immediately done something about it. However, he wouldn't do so now since taking it out of their body might also cause some unexpected reaction.

It was better to take a safer approach and not touch the residual essence. Although he doubted anything would happen, he would rather test it on others first.

The one person he really wanted to examine right now was that Mikol, but he knew that it wasn't possible for now as he would probably remain in the Church.

'I will do it when the time comes...' Ozul said to himself before slowly clearing his mind.

He wouldn't gain anything by thinking too deeply about it. Once he examined Mikol and tested taking out the essence from someone else, he would naturally have a few of his answers if not all.

For now, they had a limited amount of time before the test of Old Gu started. He couldn't waste it on testing things. It was better to take care of it when the time comes.

Sigh...

Another sigh escaped Ozul's mouth as Raven made a worried face before quickly concealing it. She knew something was bothering him, but she couldn't even ask.

Thinking so much was a rather tiring job for Ozul. He would rather just take a nap than think so much.

A little less than 20 minutes later, they arrived in a relatively richer city. He didn't waste any time and found a hotel to stay in first.

Although it was not night, a day was even better for him to sleep because the sun was more annoying than the stars.

Meanwhile, even Blaze read the atmosphere and didn't say anything lest he annoyed Ozul even more.

They quietly took a room each with Jinx sharing the room with Ozul.

As he fell onto the bed, he couldn't help but think how good it would have been if he already had his other arm back and could just sleep forever in a room alone with no lights.

Unfortunately, he knew things would never be so simple.

Even if he gained his arm back, his curiosity over his own body would keep him running all around.

.. .

Ozul only got out of his room the next day and he didn't need to knock on the duo's doors since they also came out at the same time as if they were waiting for him all this time.

”Why didn't we go back to the headquarters?” Blaze asked only after confirming that Ozul's mood had returned to normal.

Although Ozul's face would always remain unchanged, being with him for so long had taught them to read the atmosphere around him instead.

They didn't know how, but if they focused enough, they could instinctually tell if he was displeased or not in the mood to tolerate nonsense.

”What do you want to do in the headquarters?” Instead of answering, Ozul responded with a question of his own.

Raven snickered at Blaze's dumb expressions before following Ozul out of the hotel.

As they walked on the street, Ozul said, ”That old man has given everyone five years. After these five years, you probably won't be the strongest there, but I at least want you two to hold your own ground when the time comes.”

Raven and Blaze immediately nodded their heads. They were at least confident to take care of themselves in the test.

As for Blaze's question, Ozul finally eased his confusion, ”Till then, you will be training with Magical Beasts...”
