The God Virus

Chapter 475 - Priestess

"Priestess, he's my savior. I'll tell you the details later on, but please don't let any harm befall him for the moment. I shall be greatly indebted to you if you grant me this huge favor." Hellarose requested humbly while the inside corners of her eyebrows were slanting upward. It was obvious she was truly worried about Virus' fate.

"Hooh? Is that so? Okay, don't forget your promise. I'll save him from this eejit right there, however, I already heard about him killing the Purple-Maned Ancient Lion, sadly, even I can't do anything about it when the monstrous beasts' backup gets here." Indeed, having listened to the description of Ra from the shadows, the old lady had a rough picture of what had happened in the Invisible Ancient Fortress World.

"I understand." Although she had difficulty accepting that the old lady would not step up to protect Virus in case the monstrous beasts caught up, honestly, she knew that the priestess indeed would be incapable of interjecting even if she tried. Hence, she wasn't going to pointlessly ask her to risk her life for Virus' sake.

True, it was Hellarose's own choice to whether risk her life for his sake, but just as much as it was her right to make that decision, it also wasn't her place to ask someone else to risk their life for the sake of another. She considered that an extremely selfish act that deserved to be denounced and reviled.

Furthermore, since the monstrous beasts weren't even there right now, first, she wanted to deal with the current issue at hand.

"Alright." Turning toward Elijah at once, the old woman grinned gently and advised him like a kind grandma, "Young'un, the goddess condemns violence without a just cause, vengeance and grudges are the evil of your soul that needs suppression, not feeding."

"Feed the good of your soul today, not the poisonous one." Preaching at him up to this point, she also added in an even warmer manner, "The goddess will look favorably upon you if you oppress that evil urge inside yourself and leave, if not, you may face the wrath of the goddess. Heed this advice from this experienced old lady."

On the other side, listening to everything the old lady was saying, a great deal of sweat was already showering Elijah's forehead who wondered to himself, 'Isn't that just a nice way of saying fuck off or I'll cut you into a thousand tiny pieces?'

Indeed, looking into her unusually focused eyes which were currently locked on his figure, Elijah was quite certain he would die in case he insisted on taking Virus' life any longer, 'Damn it, there's no way I'll let this scary old lady here kill me today. I'm leaving! But just in case, I'll continue keeping my eyes on this place, who knows, maybe I got an opportunity when they go their separate ways.'

With that, smiling broadly, Elijah uttered in sheer respect, "Elder, you are correct indeed, I've been enlightened by your magnanimous advice today and it may change my life forever. I thank you for imparting such a valuable listen to me, what great wisdom you have! I shall take my leave now, farewell."

Afterward, not wanting to linger around a second longer, Elijah's silhouette retreated until further notice.

"Hmph, that was the most sincere fake speech I've heard in a long time." Letting out a harrumph, the old lady no longer bothered herself with Elijah's fleeing figure.

Meanwhile, Virus finally sat on his hips before proceeding to put back the bone that was sticking out of his flesh back into his arm without even showing the slightest sign of being in pain.

Crack!

Beside him, witnessing that scene, Hellarose's face went pale in fright. She could not imagine how much it must've hurt to do that, but Virus had done it without a single yelp of pain.

"Are you okay, hot face?" Sitting beside Virus, Hellarose inquired concernedly. Seeing him get hurt was making her heart ache.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just that the bleeding is rather serious and it's not stopping." Indeed, even though his bone was at least temporarily moved to a better position, the cut that it had made on his arm was making him bleed nonstop. If it was the Technological Earth, Virus had various methods of stopping the bleeding and even healing the injury swiftly, unfortunately, he was not.

Listening to that, Hellarose made puppy dog eyes as she gazed at the priestess pitifully, "Priestess… please help him."

Looking into those eyes, the old lady could only scratch her head in frustration as she took out a medicine pill from somewhere and threw it at her, "Geez, that's a precious pill of mine, can't believe I'm using it on someone I don't even know."

"Thanks!" With her eyes shining brilliantly, Hellarose took it out of its container before extending it right in front of Virus' mouth, "Hot face, say 'ahhhh'."

That instantly forced a tic on Virus' forehead. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything else he could do to heal himself at the moment, thus, he opened his mouth helplessly.

Alas, squinting her eyes, Hellarose didn't seem to be satisfied just yet. "No… don't just open your mouth. You have to say 'ahhhh'."

"I would rather die!" More veins were popping on his neck and forehead as Virus rejected stubbornly. He also confirmed for the zillionth time that she was crazy! 'How can someone continue behaving so cheekily in all kinds of grim situations?'

Afterward, as she put the pill within his mouth herself, Virus swallowed it. Soon, a strange yet soothing type of energy began transmitting itself from his stomach to his arm area. Then, at a pace visible to the naked eye, the wound started taking effect.

Frankly, the pill wasn't supposed to be working that quick.. The reason why it was like that mainly had to do with the fact that Virus' body had a special attribute that made it possible for him to absorb the full extent of a pill's potency.
