Chapter-25

[-1 HP]

*Huff-Huff*

Lucian is walking in the middle of the forest with no clue of where to go.

Under his eyes, black circles are forming due to fatigue and the Poison is also cutting his HP out without any stops.

"Fuck... Where is the city ? T-This way or that way ? I-I can't see anything clearly..." Lucian spoke with a confused expression. The poison was playing with his mind... Although, Lucian has a Photographic memory, He was still getting confused because of the poison.

"I-I can't..."

*Thud*

[-1 HP]

Lucian suddenly fell down on his knees as he felt utter weakness in his whole body.

"Fuck... I swear on mother- fucking god... I will kill all 4 of them. But, I have to survive somehow..." Lucian spoke as he stood up once again and gathered all of his focus together.

He then started thinking...

'I have to reach the city in order to buy an antidote, If I removed this arrow from my back now... I will bleed out to death.

There is a fucking alchemy shop as soon as you enter inside the city. If I can reach there... I can survive. Y-Yes... But, How do I get out of this Motherfucking forest ?

I can't seem to interpret... Where I came from and where do I have to go.' Lucian thought as he started walking towards the nearest tree slowly.

*Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick*

Suddenly, The watch in his pocket started ticking.

'Fkkk... The watch is ticking. It means a monster is nearby and if it found me in this condition... I am fucking dead.' Lucian thought as he immediately took the watch out and opened it.

The clock's hand was pointing at 7'o clock.

"Fuck... I-I have to run away from the monster." Lucian thought as he turned in the opposite direction and started walking.

'Go In the opposite direction...' A sound resounded into Lucian's ears.

"H-Huh...? O-Opposite ? Okay." Lucian was in extreme hallucination and he didn't knew what was real and what was fake.

He thought, His brain was telling him to go there and Lucian followed the voice without wasting any time.

*Tick-Tick-Tick-Tick*

Suddenly, The clock's hand pointed towards 3'o clock.

'Turn to your right...'

"Right ? Yes, That's right..."

After following the clock's way for about 15 minutes...

Lucian finally came out of the forest and a smile appeared over his face.

"Y-Yes... I am fucking genius." Lucian spoke with squinted eyes as he continued to walk towards the City in his poisoned state.

[-1HP]

"Wait... Your Id- Oh, My god... You're bleeding. Someone bring this kid to the Priest." The guard shouted.

"N-No..." Lucian spoke.

"What No ? You are are bleeding... You will die at this rate. We have to get that arrow out of your back." The guards poke with a serious expression.

"I don't fucking need your help... I need no one's help. I can do it on my own..." Lucian spoke as he entered inside the city and started walking towards the Alchemist shop.

"What a stupid guy ? He is poisoned and still have that attitude ?"

"Oi, Keep an eye on the gate... Let him do whatever he wants."

"Yes, Sir..."

*Ting*

Lucian entered inside the Alchemist's shop.

"Hello, How can I- ?" Before the Manager could've completed her sentence, She looked at Lucian and noticed that his body was fully covered in sweat and his breathing was really fast.

"Oh, My god... What happened ?" She asked with a scared expression as she immediately ran upto Lucian and gave him shoulder.

She then helped Lucian sitting down on a chair.

"A-Are you okay ? Shall I call a healer ?" She asked with a tense expression.

"N-No... I need an Antidote to poison." Lucian spoke with a serious expression as he took out the silver coin from his pocket and gave it to her.

"Antidote ? Okay... I will bring it right away."

She immediately went inside a bought two bottles of minor healing potion and one bottle of antidote.

"H-Here... Drink it up." The manager spoke as she opened the corks of the potions and gave it to Lucian.

Without wasting another second... Lucian grabbed the antidote with his shaking hands and poured it into his mouth.

"Tastes Like.... shit." Lucian spoke as he immediately felt the poison getting exterminated from his body.

[Antidote has Been Consumed.]

[Poison effects wore off.]

"Hahaha... I survived." Lucian spoke with a smile as he looked at the screen.

"H-Hey, are you okay ?" The manager asked with a worried expression.

"I will be, After this..." Lucian spoke as he immediately grabbed the arrow that was on his back and pulled it out with full strength.

As the Arrow was pulled out of his skin... Lucian felt immense pain, But he didn't shout. He gulped up the pain and kept his mouth quite.

*Thud*

Lucian throws the arrow away and snatches the two minor healing potions from the Manager's hand and gulps them down.

*Gulp-Gulp-Gulp*

"Hah... Worst than shit." Lucian spoke as he drank the healing potions.

But, As soon as he drank the potions... He felt his body getting repaired and healed quickly.

The wound on his back healed up in just minutes and His HP was back to full as well.

[HP has been restored to Full !!]
