Chapter 554 Tenacious Body
“She got him?” Amber growled, pointing her staff toward Arad and the queen, “I call forth a blast of crimson red,” [Flare Burst]
A massive fireball emerged in front of her staff, shifting in color to blue before blasting forward with a loud whistle.
The queen pulled Arad with her and dived into the mud.
The mud dried from the fireball’s heat as it exploded into a blue rose of flame. The octopuses nearby got burned to a golden brown crisp, releasing a sweet smell as their insides became perfectly cooked.
“GAH!” Amber gasped, panting as smoke gushed off her back. She stared forward, sweating. “The bitch dodged,”
“Amber, stop attacking,” Merlin looked at her.
“I still have mana,” She started forming a fireball, “I can burn them all,”
“You’re overheating, use more spells, and you will burn yourself. Rest for a few seconds.” Merlin started fanning her with her shirt.
“Hehehe,” The queen giggled, her eyes poking through the mud, “Your man has fallen, and you’re unable to fight anymore,” She emerged with Arad’s unconscious body in her arms, “You will die here.” She pointed at them with her tentacles, “My children, eat them alive.”
“Give him back,” Amber growled, the skin around her eyes cracking with fire gushing out, “Before I cook you,” Her eyes flashed with a dark orange light as mist started gushing out of her back.
The queen stared at her, “You cook me?”
The thick mist started covering the swim as Amber took a step forward, the mud drying instantly beneath her feet.
“GAAAA!” Arad opened his mouth and licked the queen’s chest, terrifying her.
“You’re awake?” She gasped, but at that moment it was already late. She could feel a sharp thing poking her nipple from Arad’s throat.
BOOOM! Her breasts exploded in a splash of blood as Arad pulled her down by the hair, swinging his palm down at her face.
SLAP!
SPLAT! With that single slap, he smacked her body down in the mud. As her body spasmed from the mortal wound and the pain, Arad lifted his foot up and dropped it on her head, shattering it.
Arad stood there, panting. “Thu!” He spat aside, “Taste like mud,”
At that moment, his vision blurred and he fell beside the dead queen. Her body then disintegrated, leaving only a massive gem.
The other octopuses ran away as the queen fell, and Arad lost consciousness and started sinking.
FUSH! Amber cooled down, “Arad!” She screamed, pointing her staff forward, [Flame thrower] The burst of flame dried a path of mud toward Arad’s side.
“I’ll help!” Merlin picked a branch and rushed after Amber to drag Arad out before he drowned.
Amber pulled from his arms while Merlin tried to pull him with the stick. After a tiring ten minutes, they finally managed to drag him out.
“How heavy could he be?” Amber sighed, her arms hurting.
“Come help get the gem back, I can heal him with it,” Merlin extended her stick toward the gem floating above the mud. 𝙡𝓲𝙗𝙧𝓮𝒂𝒅.𝙘𝓸𝒎
“That isn’t Arad, let me try this,” Amber extended her hand and unleashed a burst of fire, drying the mud around the gem.
“Nice job,” Merlin reached out with a smile and picked the gem by hand. “How is he doing?” She then asked.
“Isn’t breathing but his heart is still beating,” Amber stared at Arad’s shoulder, “She took a chunk of his collarbone, ribs, and left lung,”
“He would bleed to death if we don’t do anything,”
She took a deep breath and stood at Arad’s head, “Healing him would take a while. Help me drag him to the stairs.”
“Of course,” Amber stood and the two of them dragged Arad all the way to the stairs, laying him inside.
After they finally put him down, the two dropped to their knees banting. Arad who stood tall at 2.15 meters weighed almost over 200kg in pure muscles and bones.
“My back,” Amber cried, “I might have broken it,”
“We can heal that later,” Merlin gasped, putting the gem on Arad’s chest as she started drawing the magic inside it with her mouth open as she panted.
Amber leaned on the wall, took her large wizard hat off, and started fanning Merlin. She knew that the combined exhaustion of carrying Arad and using magic wouldn’t be easy to handle.
After a minute, Arad’s wounds closed enough for him to stop bleeding. “Good, the gem would last, but we might need more,”
Amber opened the stairs door and approached Merlin with a handful of gems.
“I picked all those octopuses dropped.” She showed them to Merlin.
“Put them on his chest,” Merlin smiled, “Now start blowing in his mouth. We need him to start breathing as soon as possible.”
“You do it,” Amber cried.
“I can’t. I’m casting magic,” Merlin stared at her with a red face, “If I could I would have already done it.”
Amber stared at Arad’s face, “His heart didn’t stop beating. Are you sure he won’t just start breathing?”
Amber gulped down and approached Arad’s face. “Don’t blame me later,”
As their noses almost touched, Arad’s eyes opened up, and he took a casual breath as his mind started working again.
His eyes quickly stared at Amber’s eyes, her lip almost touching his. “Your breath reeks of beer,”
Amber’s face burned red as she growled, going for it anyway. But before their lips could even touch, Arad’s eyes rolled back as he coughed blood on her face, falling unconscious again.
“A bone shard remained in his lung, and he’s now bleeding there. He’s drowning in his own blood,” Merlin gasped, focusing more on healing him.
Amber wiped the dots of blood from her face and stared at Merlin, “Aren’t you supposed to be an archmage?”
“I’m not a healer!” Merlin cried.
Amber sighed, taking a seat, “Be careful with him,”
One minute later, Merlin smiled, “Closed the wound, now do it,”
Amber stared at her with a suspicious glare, “He won’t wake up again, or would he?”
“Do it. I don’t care,” Merlin stared at her.
Amber went down to do it again, but Arad’s arm moved at a blinding speed, smacking the ground beside her leg and flipping him over. Amber hair spiked up in suprised, her soul almost leaving her body.
Arad coughed all the blood in his lungs on the ground then swung his fist at his chest, breaking a healing potion down his esophagus to fully heal.
“Arad!” Merlin gasped, approaching him.
“I’m fine, don’t worry,” He replied, taking a deep breath, “I can live for a while without breathing,”
He then turned to look at Amber who sat there with a sad face, almost crying.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
“I thought that hit me,” She gasped, fully aware of what would happen if Arad’s palm touched her. “I might have wet myself…”
