Episode 52.5 (1/2)
Lecan noticed that he was gripping something in his right hand when he came to.
Something that holds an enormous amount of mana.
He lifted it up while still laying on the ground.
It's a magic stone.
A crimson-colored magic stone with a beautiful luster at about the same size as Toron's.
(Is this the Argent Flame Wolf's?)
That's the proof of his triumph over Argent Flame Wolf.
Lecan finally defeated that mighty foe, a Divine Beast that had honed itself in battle.
He was awash with a sense of satisfaction while still feeling hazy, then he put away the magic stone in <Storage> before falling asleep again.
The next time he woke up, he was hit with insatiable hunger.
And it's cold.
It's night already.
Lecan got up and cast <Recovery> on his legs first thing first.
It worked well.
He crunched on Mana Restorative and Stamina Restorative and drank down water.
It was refreshing.
He felt the water soaking through his entire body as it gradually regained its strength.
He cast <Recovery> on his whole body.
Then he gathered some withered branch, grilled some meat and made soup. As he could only wait until it was all done cooking, he chewed on some bread all the while.
Then he slowly enjoyed his meal. He could never had enough no matter how much he ate.
After meal, he refilled <Necklace of Intuador>'s mana and went to sleep.
Once he woke up, he put on new clothes first. And picked up the broken pieces of <Sword of Toron> on the ground.
It was cold.
His body is getting chilly. He collected some firewood and lit them up.
The Argent Flame Wolf left no corpse behind. Which means the magic stone was his only prize this time.
”Now, then. Time to get a move on. Wait, where is this place again?”
He walked on with maximum <Life Detection>'s scope for a while before eventually running into a village.
He entered the village and asked the villager there their whereabouts.
According to the villagers, he was in Tiren Village in Modo Barondom.
Apparently, Lecan has strayed far to the northwest.
To the east is Town of Transhe, and to the west is town of Egis. They're both about the same distance away from Tiren Village, though Egis is apparently a tad closer.
Lecan bought some food from the villagers.
He gave up trying to find a lodging since the villagers were obviously wary and scared of him, and just went straight into the forest toward the northeast.
He should arrive at Egis or at least a highway that connects to Egis if he just followed this direction. And since Egis is connected to the capital on highways, getting to Mashajain from there should be simple.
As he was about to set up camp in the forest, he noticed a spot his <3D Perception> can't detect behind a dense formation of trees while probing the surroundings with it and <Life Detection>.
”What?”
Lecan drew near that spot and probed it.
