Chapter 369 - Darrik (1/2)
Mercury pressed the living metal against the spine of the wolf a few seconds passed before the living metal passed seamlessly through the skin of the wolf, then Mercury spoke
”Analyze damage”
[Lumbar vertebrae damaged, large factors at L1-L3, hairline factors at L4, full paralysis of hind legs and tail]
”Replace L1-L3, repair L4, restore never connection”
The wolf let out a low growl as the living metal ate away at the damaged vertebrae and replaced it completely, then it let out a howl before passing out as the nerves were reconnected, Mercury sighed before he sat down next to the wolf and closed his eyes form there he began to meditate…
Mercury felt a gaze after having meditated for an unknown amount of time and opened his eyes as he spoke
”Good morning”
”...What's that?”
”It's a greeting used when the sun rises, the time were people normally wake up”
”I see… Then, good morning Mercury”
Mercury showed a smile before he remembered a certain detail and asked
”That reminds me, what's your name? It feels rude to just say 'you'”
”...My name is Darrik”
”Nice to meet you Darrik”
”...Likewise Mercury… Now we should talk about compensation for healing my hind legs”
Mercury tilted his head before he spoke innocently
”I don't particularly want anything though?”
Darrik sighed before he laid his head on the metal floor and spoke
”Now that's a lie”
Mercury showed a smile and nodded before he spoke
”Yes, Yes it is… Then I would like---”
Time passed outside the food processor, eventually, Party and Qutil arrived and explained that the inside was very dangerous and quickly advised the rest of the group not to enter and so 3 days passed before Mercury emerged from the food processor, behind him emerged a giant wolf with black, dotted with what looked like stars fur, though cutting into its majestic appearance was a hind leg wheelchair made of metal, the wolf gazed around looking a little nervous, Mercury spoke
”This is Darrik, he was inhabiting the food processor”
Derrick lowered his head slightly in greeting, the girls all looked somewhat stunned, Marie returned the nod before she spoke in a questioning manor
”A wolf?”
Darrik nodded again before he spoke
”Indded, I am a star wolf”
Qutil muttered
[A star wolf… one of the countless beings that inhabit the void, it's the first time I've seen one in person! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Though what I really want to know is how you penetrated the time-space lock around the island?]
Darrik tilted his head slightly before he asked
”A time-space lock..? Oh, the barrier that's around this land… Heh, that was easy, it's full of holes”
[TAKE THAT BACK IT'S ONE OF MY PROUDEST WORKS!]
Mercury quickly stepped in and meditated
”Now, now Qutil… You are speaking with a being that's capable of summoning special disturbances with a stray thought… Darrik is literally capable of folding and warping space with his mind”
Qutil twirled around for a bit before she spoke, or rather yelled
[THEN IT'S FINE, I AM NOT MAD!]
Darrik tilted his head further before he asked Mercury
”Mercury… do that wisp of nebular have to yell all the time?”
”Yeah, she does or she'll explode, figuratively of course”
”I see… She sure is a strange creature…”
Then Darrik looked over at a person that had approached him with slight weariness, it was Asma and her eyes were sparkling, Darrik felt slightly threatened from this and raised his ears, Asma mirrored his ear movements before she spoke two words as she tilted her head slightly
”...Hi..? Darrik?”
Darrik was a little confused by this and looked over at Mercury, Asma exploited this opening and dove headfirst into his fur as she exclaimed
”...Soft!”
Darrik looked over at Mercury in slight panic Mercury chuckled before he spoke
”That's Asma, she one of my girlfriends”
”Girlfriend?”
”Mates”
Darrik nodded before he looked over at the other women in the group, after a few moments he spoke
”Well, she smells like you… So dose those two, I'll assume they also are your girlfriends Mercury?”
”Yeah, that's Marie and that is Julia”
Darrik nodded, then he spoke again while he lowered his head slightly
