Chapter 555 - Pearls Should Be Treasured (2/2)

“Girl, what do you know?!” an unknown person yelled from the crowd.

“Shallie, shut up and get back here!” That was Olan.

“Olan, watch your daughter!”

That was the head of the Red Earth Firm. Middle-aged, slightly fat and tall, he looked authoritative. Walking out of the crowd, he gazed at the poisoned mercenary leader.

“Miro, I’m sorry. After you die, I will double your payment.”

“Thank you.” Miro nodded. With that, he closed his eyes, awaiting death.

Shallie was still by the campfire. Looking at Miro, she asked, “Why are you giving up? You’re so powerful.”

“Little girl, thank you for your good intentions, but I’m not powerful at all.” Miro chuckled bitterly.

“How? Isn’t it just poison?” Shallie said, not giving up. “Every poison has an antidote. Why don’t we try something else—”

Before she could finish, Olan burst out from the crowd and grabbed her back.

Even as she was being pulled, Shallie struggled and cried, “There’s so many of us, but no one has a solution? Miro is such a good man. He was poisoned to save us. Are you just going to watch him die?”

She was right, and many people felt uncomfortable at these words. But the truth was, everyone was helpless against this strange poison.

Nothing could be said now. Miro looked at Arda. “Do it now so I won’t die so horribly.”

Arda clenched his jaw, tears forming in his eyes. After a moment, he grabbed a bow from another mercenary. Knocking the arrow, he slowly pulled the bow back, aiming it at Miro.

Link watched this entire thing from his carriage. In the crowd of ordinary folks, he saw Miro’s wisdom and Shalie’s bravery. It was like two stars appearing in the dark sky.

Humans may be mostly unaccomplished and filled with disgraceful people. However, one or two pearls would always be found in the sand.

Most of the time, pearls would only shine once. Then, they would be assimilated by the sand around them, or be crushed into powder by life. The people couldn’t protect the pearls.

However, it was different this time because Link was there.

No antidote could get rid of the poison. Link didn’t have spells for that either, but this didn’t mean he was powerless. He still had the game system and 700 Omni points.

He hadn’t bought spells in a long while, so he almost forgot about this feature.

Seeing that Arda was about to shoot, Link quickly started buying spell cards. His eyes flew past all the shining cards. Finally, they stopped on one surrounded by countless faint green runes.

Natural Spell: Wild Windstorm

Wild Windstorm

Legendary Natural Spell (Level depends on the spellcaster’s level)

Cost: (10 to 5000) Depends on the target’s physique. The stronger they are, the higher the cost.

Effect: Summon the source energy that is tainted in the target’s body. Strengthen it and drive it out. This spell can eradicate the contamination done by curses and poison.

(Note: The windstorm has arrived and will grow wildly.)

This was a very powerful dispelling spell. Its theory was different from most spells of this type. Instead of targeting the poison itself, it strengthened the target’s vitality until they could drive out the poison naturally.

It was because of this principle that it could be traceless. After using, the poisoned would gradually recover by himself. However, it could dispel practically all poisons and curses in Firuman!

Screech. On the other side, Arda was pulling his bow back to shoot the arrow. At that time, the sky suddenly lit up. Silver light appeared above Miro and Eyre. Like moonlight, the light shone down and poured into the two mercenaries.

Under the “moonlight,” they looked divine and godly.

Soon after, the greenness of their faces faded. Their eyes that had been turning black instantly returned to normal.

Anyone could see that they were okay now.

The crowd was in an uproar. A white later, someone exclaimed, “It’s a miracle! It’s a blessing from the God of Light!”

“They’re blessed by God!”

With that, everyone in the camp fell to their knees, awed by the sight.

At the same time, twenty pairs of black eyes watched this scene from outside the camp. They were the Strange Beastmen who’d come for a sneak attack.

Just as they were about to act, the silver moonlight appeared. Even at a small scale, Legendary power was still impressive. Link’s Realm Essence was especially pure, so people would naturally be frightened by it.

Taken aback, the Beastmen turned and left without hesitation.

Link wasn’t going to follow this merchant caravan anymore. He slipped away and followed the Strange Beastmen.

It’s not easy to come up with this poison. I’d like to see who’s making this mess.
