Chapter 132: The Healer (1/2)

It was silent.

A place that couldn't be described. An empty location that one could drown out all the noises that affected them.

Jake found himself slowly losing his identity in this horizonless place. He had not produced any thoughts as he lied in the sea of perfection.

A voice whispered to him, ”Wake up…...”

It aroused Jake's consciousness. Slowly, Jake began to wake up.

He tried to resist the voice but the whisperings continued.

”Wake up…...”

”Wake up....”

”Wake up, Jake!”

Answering the call, Jake's eyes fluttered open. His eyes reacted to the light as he slowly adjusted to it.

The first thing he heard was a loud scurrying voice, ”Inform the king. He is awake!”

After he fully opened his eyes, Jake ignored the stinging pain and focused on what he saw.

He was laid on a bed, or rather, he was tied to a bed with numerous medicines applied to his bare body.

Beside him was a healer. He could tell that from her long dress and side bags that smelled of herbal medicines.

'She is the one that did this to me,' Jake surmised.

He couldn't move his body, due to the rope tying him down, and had to watch as the healer brought her face close to his.

She caressed her index finger on his right eyelid, which caused him more discomfort.

”Stay calm!” she said to him as she brought out a small case from her pockets.

Opening it, she revealed a small crystalline glass and fixed it into his right eye, after a lot of struggle from Jake.

”It is commendable. You did not scream. I usually have patients screaming,” chuckled the healer.

As she did not get any reaction from Jake who calmly watched her, she chipped in, ”I'm Klara. I know you can hear me. Stop giving me that stare. If not for me you would have died. Plus, I fixed your eye, didn't I?”

Listening to her words, Jake found it difficult to talk, but still spoke out in his cold voice, ”What did you do?”

If he found out that she tampered with his body, he would make sure to kill her.

Maintaining her warm nature, Klara started, ”Do you know that those born with two different colored eyes, Leze, are always special? They always possessed abilities that are unachievable through cultivation, just like you.”

She smiled, ”Don't be alarmed. You severely damaged your special eye during your previous battle. I took care of you and healed your injuries to a certain point. However, I know not if your eye would still work. But just in case, I slid a lens to protect it. Instead of using an eye patch.”

Digging out a big mirror from her pockets, Klara gave it to Jake.

The latter looked at his appearance and realized that the eye lens was unnoticeable. Moreover, it helped hide his eye condition by making the eye more blue than purple.

Yet, he didn't thank the healer. If he wasn't forced to a battle, he wouldn't have been this badly injured.

”What are the ropes for?” Jake voiced out his thoughts.

No matter how he thought of it, the ropes binding him were definitely strange.

If they wanted to bind him, why ropes and not a metal chain or cuffs?

”Well, you are dangerous, aren't you? The ropes are the best items suitable for binding you. Can you feel it,” mused Klara
