Chapter 999: Chapter 30: Prospering Day by Day
The more fierce the fight was, the more serious Duncan’s injuries are now.
On a luxurious carriage, Duncan lay on a soft velvet blanket, while Sharella carefully peeled off his charred skin. The Red Dragon’s breath contained Magic Power, and wounds from it were not so easily healed, requiring the support of the Healing Domain.
Duncan’s insanely wild battle truly frightened her. Even after the fight ended, Sharella’s legs felt weak and trembling.
This man was practically half-claimed by the Death God!
Sharella left part of the Golden Legion Knights to clean up the battlefield, and urgently escorted Duncan back. There was no way she could stay there. This man bore the heavy responsibilities of two major churches. Any mistake was unacceptable to them.
"Don’t worry, I won’t die."
Duncan looked at the Life Bar on the projection page, uncertain why, perhaps because the injuries were too severe or maybe due to the Dragon Breath’s devastation. The Life Bar in his Human Form was only at one-third, with its maximum limited to that much.
But fortunately, his physical resilience was strong, and the Life Limit was slowly restoring bit by bit.
—— Near death, exhaustion, weakness, fatigue, etc.
One negative state after another appeared on the Human Form’s Mark, while the Dragon Bloodline’s limit significantly broke through, directly raising to near ancient dragon levels.
The Blood Flame Tyrant was not a conventional ancient Red Dragon; it was approaching the stage of an ancient Red Dragon.
Scorching Dragon Blood seeped into his body.
—— Baptism of Dragon Blood, Awakening of the Dragon Vein.
The Mana Bar in his Human Form also changed, as if enveloped by searing Dragon Breath, while the seized abilities evolved into a Dragon Vein branch, marking out the Dragon Vein lineage that could be replaced.
What a gain!
As long as Duncan could shake off the current state of weakness, his Human Form would likely reach the power of six stars.
"Too risky!"
"Too crazy!"
Sharella tore a piece of charred skin from Duncan’s chest, watching as new blood and skin regrew under the treatment of Divine Technique, her lips quivering slightly as she said, "It’s not worth such a risk!"
"The wealth and reputation gained from killing this dragon are not worth you risking your life like this."
Sharella did not know that Duncan could seize abilities.
In her view, Duncan’s challenge to the ancient Red Dragon was to expand the influence of the two churches and rebuild their prestige. While effective, should Duncan perish, the blow to them would be equally fatal.
Wealth?
The Five Fierce Women were not short on money at all.
Status?
With the foundation of two major churches, the status wouldn’t be low.
Influence?
This could be built over time, but there was no need to be so aggressive. Only by experiencing it firsthand could one understand the danger involved.
If it were her, she might have been so frightened that she’d lose the courage to fight on the spot.
Duncan’s expression was indifferent.
With his back supported by the systems of the two major churches, as long as he wasn’t dead on the spot, any injury could be healed.
"We’ve already sent word to contact the Priest of the God of Suffering - Ilmater."
Sharella’s slender fingers trembled slightly, tearing off another piece of charred skin from Duncan, her voice firm as she said, "We’ve arranged for the Mage advisor to open a portal."
"To transport the Priest of the God of Suffering to Arabel."
"As soon as we get there."
"Your injuries should be resolved."
Rallying support!
Frenzied rallying for support!
Duncan-Starfall absolutely cannot have an accident.
Sharella directly used the privileges of the upper Gold Lord and, through the Mage advisor, brought the Bishop of the God of Suffering - Ilmater, from the Sword Coast, who possessed a Legendary Priest with a Healing Domain, to the city of Arabel.
There are differences in the healing capabilities of Priests.
If the Divine Spirit itself did not hold mastery over the healing divine position, then the Priests’ healing Divine Techniques would be at a discount. Among the various Divine Spirits, without a doubt, the Priests of the God of Suffering - Ilmater are the top-tier healers.
This is the effect of the Divine Position’s blessing.
With over ten fully armed Golden Legion Knights escorting, Sharella personally contacted the Mage advisor to open the gate and then carefully escorted Duncan to Arabel.
Upon confirming Duncan’s serious injuries, even Prince Yasang and others were not allowed to approach Duncan.
The ancient Red Dragon’s corpse and the Dragon’s Nest spoils could all be forfeited.
This man absolutely must not have an accident.
Upon entering Arabel, Sharella immediately gathered people to seal off a villa outside the Black Iron Market, after which a Bishop in white robes hurriedly arrived. Upon seeing the dragon flame-burned wounds covering him, his brow furrowed tightly, then he issued the order: "I need the Holy Ritual of the Weeping One."
"Plead for Divine Grace!"
Sharella unhesitatingly said, "I’ll get people to prepare immediately."
A quarter of an hour later.
Several Priests from the Wealth Church carried Duncan into the Divine Hall, and then the Priest of the God of Suffering started pleading for Divine Grace. Accompanied by the emergence of the Medical Domain’s brilliance, Duncan’s lowered Life Limit was rapidly recovering, dispersing the magical dragon flame, which was the Dragon Breath from the frenzy of blood scales.
One negative state after another was continuously dispelled.
Finally, after the Bishop of the God of Suffering performed a high-level restoration technique, Duncan was only left with the negative states of fatigue and weakness.
"I didn’t expect the side effects of the undead frenzy to be so severe."
Duncan had approximately recovered sixty to seventy percent of his strength. Once the near-death state disappeared, he slowly stood up and expressed his gratitude to the Bishop of the God of Suffering before him.
The other party had teleported across half a continent, so he surely needed to show his appreciation.
Sharella arranged for some money to be prepared.
The Church of the God of Suffering liked aiding the poor, and they occasionally sought alms from the Wealth Church. It was this relationship that allowed them to rally support directly.
