Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

As time passes, the purple essence in my dantian finally comes to an end. Behind me, the Class-6 Monster continues to chase me down.

Boom~ 

The centipede monster finally manages to hit the body of mine. The impact was so huge that it sent me flying.

Argh~

A muffled grunt left my mouth. The body of mine crashes into the woods before coming to a halt.

I felt immense pain all over my body. Bones cracking sound can be heard clearly. But I don't have any time to think about this. 

Result~

Before the Class 6 Monster could make a move. The Centipede monster shuddered for a moment. It felt an even more threatening aura coming from a distance.

The aura might be stronger than a Class-6 Monster. 

The centipede monster is just an early-stage monster. There are still more powerful monsters hiding in the deep. 

After feeling the dangerous aura, the centipede monster stopped its movements and started to flee in another direction. 

On the other hand, I was on the ground. But after a few seconds, I didn't see the monster in my perception.

Seeing that, I felt the hanging stone in my heart disappear. "The monster is gone," I breathed in relief.

I didn't know what was going on. But at this time, my injury is getting worse. First, I have to stop the bleeding.

Gritting my teeth, I continued to lie down on the ground. I started to run the wooden scripture in my mind. The rainforest is a good place to collect the healing essence.

As the time passed, the brown essence started to spread around my body. Especially the injured areas are getting the healing essence.

Time went by,

I closed my eyes and continued to run the wooden scripture. So much so that I stopped using the perception after some time.

The situation was so dangerous. There could be monsters lurking around here. But I forgot the time. 

I have to get healed so that I can move my body.

4 hours later,

The healing essence worked efficiently. The bleeding has stopped at this point. Some of the cracks in the bones also recovered.

But overall recovery needs time. So I tried to stand up. Standing on the ground. I activated my perceptual ability.

The place is not far away from the teleportation point. Fortunately, I ran in the direction of the outskirts.

After calming down my heart, I started walking towards the teleportation point. Walking, I continued to keep an eye on my surroundings. 

There are no other monsters in the vicinity. 

One hour later,

Finally, I reached the teleportation point. Then without wasting further time. I activated the server. 

The platform lit up with the light. 

Swoosh~

I disappeared from the spot and appeared back in the Teleportation tower.

Gasp~

The warriors exclaimed in surprise. Seeing someone appearing with the tattered clothes. Especially having gruesome injuries and blood stains.

They don't know who it is. But the next moment, another shock appeared on their face.

"Zack Lockwood" 

The warriors gathered outside recognized the face. Then they started to take pictures to post online. Right now, there aren't many warriors gathered here.

Most of them are in the duel arena. The matches for the elite warriors are going on. So the duel arena is currently very lively.

On the other hand, ignoring the gazes of the warriors. I started leaving the place. 

"If I stay here longer, these people will make headlines," I said in my heart.

I'm very well aware of my state. By using the healing essence it would take a long time to heal.

Not long after, a new post started to trend online. A warrior appeared in tattered clothes with gruesome injuries all over his body. In the post, the face was unrecognizable. 

But under the caption, the name Zack Lockwood is mentioned in the block letters.

Seeing that online users started to question. But after a few minutes, a few more posts started to appear. 

In that post the face of Zack Lockwood is clear. Seeing that more warriors started to believe and began to share it.

If this goes on apart from the news of the internal competition. The news of Zack Lockwood will also begin to trend.

On the other hand, I reached the infirmary. I'm coming to this place for the 1st time. Usually, the warriors injured in the duel get treated here.

When I walked into the room. My appearance has attracted everyone's attention.

"Zack Lockwood" A healing assistant approached me.

A quick glint flashes in my eyes. The news sure has reached everyone's ear fast. 

"Yes, it's me. Can I get treatment?" I asked. 

I felt a lot of gazes on me. Apart from me, other warriors got injured during the competition. 

"What happened to him?" 

"Did anyone thrash him?"

"No, someone saw him coming out of the teleportation tower."

The people who were here started to gossip. This is the 1st time for everyone to see the state of Zack Lockwood.

That's why everyone is shocked and confused.

On the other hand, the healing assistant started to guide me towards the healing room. 

The academy has healers working here. It's a rare element. Not many of the warriors got the element.

Most of them are hired by the academy. I don't know whether any Academy student got the healing element. 

If it's then it would be surprising. 

"What are you thinking?" The healing assistant asked.

"Are you a student of the academy?" I asked back.

"No, I'm working here," The female assistant replied.

My eyes flickered. Soon we reached the healing room. When I entered the room, I saw a tank with special fluids. 

Seeing that, a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. This one I completely recognized. But the tank was much smaller. 

After lying down on the bed, the healing assistant went outside. 

A few minutes later, 

An old man with a white coat entered the room.

"What famous warrior is doing here?" the old man asked while starting to inspect my body.

Hearing that my mouth twitched. 

The old man's eyes flickered. He saw there were several cracks on the bone. Inspecting the back, he soon realized. Zack got attacked by a monster.

A quick glint flashes in his eyes. 

"Are you coming from the monster zone?" the old man asked.

Hearing that I nodded my head.

"You are lucky. It's not easy to survive from the high-class monster," The old man added.

A hint of appreciation flashes in my eyes. He was through the wounds. Then he began to inject the special fluid in my body.

When the warm liquid entered my body. I saw the energy begin to spread around the body. The cracks in the bones started to heal.

My eyes flickered. "It must be expensive," I said in my heart. Because the healing energy released from the special liquid is effective.

I don't know how many expensive herbs are used to make this one. Seeing that I continued to rest.

Meanwhile,

Dean Rebecca received the reports. When Zack Lockwood walked out of the teleportation tower. Because she knows the server details.

Zack went to the dangerous monster zone. Normally, no elite warriors would dare to go to such monster zones.

Even for the Super Elite the Class-6 Monster Zones are extremely dangerous.

"What is he thinking?" 

"Is he suicidal?" She said to herself. 

She had given unlimited access to monster zone passes to Zack. Where he can use the teleportation tower to go to any monster zone.

But she regrets it slightly right now. If anything happens to Zack. It will be bad for the academy. And it won't do any good to her as well.

Swoosh~

Both the guardians made the appearance all of a sudden. 

"Zack is undergoing treatment. Old man Vice said that apart from a few broken bones. He is completely safe." 

The male guardian reported. 

Sigh~

A long sigh escaped from Rebecca's mouth.

"He has been giving me a lot of headaches these days," She said to herself.

"What about the Morrow family's migration?" She asked.

The female guardian replied, "The Morrow Family has vacated the Azure City except for the family head and her daughter Laverne."

Rebecca frowned. She had decided because of Zack. And Zack had decided because of Laverne. 

If anything happens to her, then Zack would ask. 

"What about Alice?" She asked.

Earlier, she asked the Rain Water Faction Head to investigate the Azure City. The faction head Alice Brown gladly accepted the task.

But so far there is no news.

The female guardian said, "Elder Alice is taking her time to investigate. Don't know why but the Blevins Family is not making any move these days."

"Blevins Family," She muttered to herself. This is the family supported by the Supreme Elder. Her mind has been filled with a lot of questions these days.

Most of them are about the supreme elder. Lately, he has been asking about Azure City's information. 

"You guys can leave. Report if anything is new," She said.

Swoosh~

Both the guardians disappeared from the spot.
