47 A Path Towards..... (1/2)

Pant~ Pant~ Pant~

”I'm beat and I can't feel one of my legs right now” Isaac said breathing raggedly as he laid on mess ground with his limbs spread around covered in injuries and bruises.

”I'm soo~ never doing this again” Joe cursed complaining while leaning on a huge boulder.

”This was one hell of a ride” Austin said smiling and then he suddenly started laughing.

Isaac and Joe looked at him and also started laughing to themselves. Inside them, they felt a sense of achievement that they have never felt before in their lives.

”We did it! We killed this bastard!” Joe yelled full of joy with his face covered in excitement.

Just a couple of meters away from them is a mutated beast corpse and at his head was that huge sword stuck sideways.

But defeating this monster, didn't come with an easy price. Joe had long gash on his leg from his inner thigh towards his shin that his bones can even be spotted.

Isaac had his shoulder and one of his legs broken with blood leaking from the corner of his mouth while Austin had a long gash from the top of his right extending towards his low chest and broken left arm.

Along with them killing it, they had a new profound respect for Alex and Leo as they truly realized how monstrous their strengths are, that even the three of them had a hard time killing one and if it wasn't for Alex intervening in time and saving from the jaws of death, then all of them would have been a cold corpse by now.

Leo immediately ordered Alex to give them each a high grade potion as Leo looked on while Alex made each of them drink a potion.

'Truly spectacular, so it really is true that when a man is truly cornered and is desperate to survive would they burst like a dam and do something unimaginable' Leo thought as his blood is still boiling with excitement as he can't forget that moment when the three people burst with a sudden strength that the three guys was able to pull out the sword together and swung it towards the monster and killing it.

After all, Leo ordered Alex not to intervene anymore halfway through the fight and just let them fight it to the death which probably one of the reasons why the three people was able to pushed or even exceeded to their limits and did something amazing.

After that, Leo started walking towards them when he suddenly heard them shouting in surprise and amazement.

”Holy shit! My god! I'm saying so much 'shit' today! This thing healed us in just a few seconds! Look, it didn't even left a scar, it looked like we didn't even received any injuries at all!” Joe was standing and talking loudly while touching every part of his body that was injured earlier.

”Could it be this thing that Caleb was talking before that fixed him!? But it left him with scars and were not!” Austin muttering in a raised voice while fiddling around the bottle on his hands and that his face was so close to it like he was trying to figure out it secrets even though it's already empty.

”A breakthrough in the medical field. This kind of thing is not impossible to be made in 100 years or maybe more but right now…..so absurd~!” Isaac was looking at the empty small bottle on his hands while muttering like a possessed person.

”Hey, give me the bottles back” Leo said to them as he walked over to the beast corpse and pulled out the sword and swung it a couple of times trying to get rid the blood and gore on it before storing it back inside his inventory.

”Boss! What the h-off!” Joe tried to run towards Leo but suddenly face planted on the ground.

Cough~ Cough~ Cough~

Joe spit the dirt that got inside his mouth and slowly raised his head and said with a bit of difficulty ”Damn, I think the adrenaline just wore off. I feel so weak right now and my body aches all over”

When they heard what Joe said, Isaac and Austin tried to get up but fell on their butts back on the ground and laid there.

”Me too. I was so excited earlier that I didn't even notice it and now I feel sluggish and really..my whole body is like bitten by countless small ants. It's so f*cking hurts like hell!”

”Yeah, my body feels like I'm being burned slowly instead. Arrggh~! So much pain!”

”Hmm?” Leo raised an eyebrow when he heard them twitching on the ground as he felt something was off as he knew from Caleb that he only felt a bit of pain and some weakness when he was fixed up.

'Is it because they have lower constitution than Caleb?' Leo thought.
