27 Retreat! (2/2)

He went back inside to check up on everyone and noticed that Yan Mei's mana was still near rock bottom, he quickly cleaned some of that Mana Water he had collected and lifted her back on to his knee as he poured it down her mouth making her drink it.

Yan Mei's Mana started to recover and when the color returned to her face he relaxed, Fei Lei then did the same for everyone in the party, giving them a mouth full only. Seeing them start to recover their Mana quicker, Fei Lei relaxed and gave Yan Mei a kiss before he walked back outside.

Walking over to the edge of the stairs he looked down and thought, ”I think it's time for my next compression.”

Fei Lei sat down in the lotus position and started to use his Breath of the Nature Gods to acclimate his body to its fullest potential. After an hour he started to compress his giant muscles down into his second layer, once again his bones began to make creaking sounds, Fei Lei pulled out a 100 pound Bone Pill and started to break every bone in his body.

Swallowing the pill, Fei Lei felt like a rock had hit the bottom of his gut, the bones in his body started to turn into a charcoal black as the carbon density shot through the roof, his blood turned ruby red and carried a gem like shine to them. His body felt like it was soaking in lava as he continued to push pass his pain with the use of his natural pain killers.

Fei Lei's body began to shine golden, as he continued to practice his breathing impurities came flooding out of his bones turning them from a charcoal black into a glossy black steel-like texture, his body suddenly rumbled.

It was as if the air around his body had suddenly shook, Fei Lei opened his eyes and breathed in, he stood up and tightened the belt around his waist as he felt the new found strength in his body making him feel like his was weightless again.

He looked back and saw that everyone was still unconscious as he looked at his frail-looking physique and decided to run downstairs to bulk up real quick.

He moved to the bottom of the dungeon like a ghost, leaving constant after images as he took large leaps towards his destination, when he ran his entire body turned into blur, it took him only around a minute to reach the forested area once again. Fei Lei pulled out all the meat he had gathered thus far and began to chow down until he looked fat, after dispersing it into energy he noticed that the muscle building compound he made from it was intensely stronger than a 3 Start Beast.

After killing and fighting while building up his body again Fei Lei noticed that it was much easier to build these new super-muscles with higher ranking beast meat.

Fei Lei continued this for almost a full day collecting a few hundred 3 and 4-Star Mana Cores. Once his body had returned to an acrobatic-type build, he noticed that it became increasingly harder to build up his new muscles.

Seeing that he couldn't really make headway here he decided to return to his allies, as he stepped back into the Recovery Zone he noticed that everyone had woken up.

Yan Mei being the first to see him ran into his arms and was holding back her tears as she kissed him,”I told them you were okay. Did you finally go through your second compression?”

Fei Lei smiled and nodded his head in confirmation as Hina walked up next to him and had a ashamed look on her face, Fei Lei felt a tinge of regret in letting her get hurt as he said, ”You saved my life, I owe you.”

Hina turned around and hid her expression, ”It was nothing.”

Yan Mei shook her head, ”I saw your injuries, it wasn't nothing, you almost died!”

Hina smiled and turned back around with a red face and said, ”Well if you're going to praise me, keep them coming.”

Eriks walked over and said, ”You're woman helped save me and my companion.” He then turned to Yan Mei and held his hand out before saying, ”I owe you one.”

Yan Mei nodded her head and shook his hand, the rest of them came over to thank them as well, ”June and I will be heading back, we're dropping out.” Terry said looking disappointed in herself as she bowed to them and walked away.

”Thank you for saving our lives, should you ever need healing you can visit the City Novan, and I will do my best to heal you or one of your friends. June said as she bowed and caught up with Terry.

Fei Lei scratched his head and said, ”Hold on.”

The two looked stopped and turned around, ”I'm about to end this dungeon, are you sure you want to leave?”

Eriks then spoke out, ”I don't know if we can beat the dungeon boss.”

Fei Lei furrowed his brow and said, ”If it's a 5-Star Beast then I'm sure that I can take him now, I'm quite a bit stronger than yesterday.”

Everyone was shocked when Eriks shook his head, ”It's a 5-Star Tyrant Beast.”

Once again the shocked expressions widened, ”That's impossible!” June shouted.

”How can a Tyrant Beast exist in a dungeon, there should be no time for it to form a Tyrant Core to form, the dungeon has only been open for a few days,” Terry shot out.

”You calling my captain a liar?” Hachi shouted.

”No, I know of the Sky Wardens honor, I know you wouldn't lie about something like this. It's just that it's so farfetched, are you sure you saw a Tyrant?” Terry asked with a frightened look on her face.

”Yes, and it's a Dragon Type,” Eriks said with a downcast look.
