Chapter 355: Absolute Healing
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Owen, you’re so lame. You were beaten up because you went out on a trip. It seems like the three platinum-tier sea folks will soon become two.”
Jana opened her mouth, revealing a mouth full of beautiful serrated teeth.
“Shut up, Jana! Such venomous tongue. Hurry up and heal my injuries. If you have anything to say, wait until I’m better.”
Swis.h.!.+
Owen groaned with difficulty. The dozens of tentacles under Jana’s feet immediately rose. Each tentacle held a surgical tool, either scissors or a saw, and cut down on Owen’s body.
“Platinum-tier healing technique, Lingering Sound of Pain!”
The dozens of surgical tools turned into tens of thousands of phantoms, cutting over Owen’s body. Owen did not seem to have changed at all, but he looked like he was in pain. Since he was a peak platinum-tier elite, he had seen all of Jana’s movements.
Jana’s arms moved very quickly. Often, the surgical tools cut through Owen’s body, and before the blood could seep out, she would sew it up with a needle and thread. As for Jana’s method of treatment, it was very simple, which was to bleed Owen.
While she operated on Owen, Jana’s subordinates brought a large bucket and placed it by the bedside. The bucket was filled with bright red blood with a barbaric aura.
To the sea folks, blood was the seawater that flowed in their bodies. It was a sacred substance. If that substance were contaminated, the sea folks would get sick. Therefore, changing the blood of the sick was a suitable method of treatment. The healer would prepare clean sea beast blood in advance to replace the blood in the patient’s body during the treatment process.
“Owen, I have replaced most of the contaminated blood in your body. Next, you need to sincerely pray to the sea G.o.d and let him grant you a full recovery! Do you still feel unwell? If you feel fine, then I will deal with the seawater around Atlantis. Those despicable humans had poisoned the seawater. Aren’t they afraid? After all, the sea is connected to the lake, where they are located. They can’t live well even if there are problems here.”
She put away all the tools she had just used for the surgery—no one knew where she hid them.
“I feel much better.”
Owen stood up from the coral bed and stretched his arms a few times. He looked at Watson proudly. “What did I tell you? I don’t need your treatment at all. We have many good healers here. Wow.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Owen suddenly knelt on the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood. His face was filled with disbelief. “What’s going on?”
Jana had planned to leave with her subordinates. When she saw Owen’s discomfort, she walked toward him and stretched a tentacle on Owen’s head. Her gloomy expression changed slightly. “It’s not good, Owen. Your body has been corroded by a strong warrior’s power and is riddled with holes. You need to change your blood, your internal organs, and your bones as well. That way, we can still save your life. However, there is a side effect.”
“What side effect?”
“Your strength will decrease. If you are lucky, it will only decrease to gold-tier. If you are unlucky, you will be an ordinary folk from now on.”
Blood, bones, internal organs—those are a person’s main components. If all those were replaced, would that person still be himself?
Jana’s words made Owen’s face pale. He gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it. Just let me die like this.”
He would rather die as a platinum-tier elite than become a powerless, ordinary person. Seeing his companions suffering and unable to do anything, the feeling of powerlessness would make him feel even more tormented.
It was not just Jana. Everyone there, including Poseidon, had sorrowful looks on their faces. They could understand Owen’s choice. If they were Owen, they would have made the same decision. However, could they really let Owen die like that?
Just as everyone was in a dilemma, Alice’s voice suddenly sounded in the room. “Brother Watson, didn’t you say that you have a way to save Uncle Owen? I don’t know what method you’re talking about, but would he be able to keep his strength? No matter what, I hope that you can try.”
Everyone turned their gazes to Watson. That was the first time that Jana had seen Watson. She spat out the seaweed root in her mouth and asked, “Who is this?”
“He is Her Majesty’s friend from ash.o.r.e and also the person who saved Princess Alice. The twelve golden palaces that appeared outside Atlantis were his handiwork.”
One of the octopus underlings explained it to Jana. They knew that Jana liked to hide in her room, dissecting things or researching healing spells. She rarely went out and did not know much about the outside world.
“So you are the person who changed Atlantis. From the looks of it, you seem to be a healer too?” Jana asked with interest.
Watson only smiled. “I’m not a healer. I just know a little about that.”
“Can you guys talk later? I’m dying.”
Owen’s voice interrupted the conversation between the two. He looked at Watson with a conflicted expression. “Watson, are you sure you can heal me without leaving any side effects?”
If not for the fact that the young man had created twelve palaces that were no weaker than Atlantis, he would not have dared to let him try it. Owen felt a faint glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps that youth could trigger a miracle.
“I’m not sure; I can only try my best.”
“Regardless of whether it works or not, it can’t be any worse. Come on.”
Owen steeled his heart and closed his eyes.
“System fusion!”
Watson opened his right hand toward Owen, and several platinum-tier G.o.d’s Blessings surged in his mind. Those G.o.d’s Blessings were left behind by the elites who had once challenged the World Transformation Mirror. Before that, he had only casually used them to recover his physical strength and increase his power. He would have to fuse the blessings that had healing and recovery effects together.
[Congratulations on a successful fusion, Master!
[You have obtained a diamond-tier spell—Absolute Healing.]
[Diamond-tier spell, Absolute Healing—can heal all injuries in the world, including external, internal, sword, poison, and so on. It can also heal the person to their peak strength.]
The diamond-tier spell had appeared in Watson’s head following the fusion, and he had a confident expression on his face. Owen’s healing was made even easier for him by his mastery of the many spells he had learned.
“Absolute Healing.”
As he cast the Absolute Healing spell on Owen’s body, the man fell to the ground weakly. His constant coughing immediately stopped. A rosy complexion appeared on his body; he could even stand up abruptly and clench his fists in surprise.
“The uncomfortable feeling is gone. My injuries seem to have recovered.”
“Owen, are you sure that you’ve really recovered? It won’t be the same as before, right? Where it’s only temporary?” Poseidon was concerned.
Owen shook his head. “No, Your Majesty, I’ve recovered this time. Not only have I improved, but my strength has also recovered to its peak! If you don’t believe me, see me run, jump, and somersault!”
Waving his fishtail, Owen nimbly somersaulted a few times in the sea; everyone was confident that he had recovered.
“Now, I can leave the seabed and fight against the human fleet for 300 rounds.”
Owen clenched his fists. A platinum-tier aura spread from his body, causing the entire Sea G.o.d Palace to shake.
“Owen, you’ve just recovered from your injuries. You should rest so that you don’t get injured again when you fight with others.” Jana curled her lips in disdain. Her gaze landed on Watson’s body and flickered. She walked toward Watson and stretched a tentacle to wrap around Watson’s neck. “Your name is Watson? It seems that you’re very skilled in healing techniques. Would you be interested in going to my room later to have a deeper discussion with me?”
As she spoke, Jana’s face moved closer to Watson’s ear and blew into it. Even though Jana had a mouth full of sharp teeth and a gloomy expression, she still looked pretty good. Her actions were full of temptation.
Alice, who was at the side, saw that scene and immediately ran up and pulled Jana’s tentacle away. “Aunt Jana, Brother Watson is visiting me. We can’t go to your room.”
Jana was stunned by Alice’s actions. She looked at Alice and then at Watson before she revealed a look of understanding. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know the two of you are in a relations.h.i.+p.” Then, she moved closer to Watson’s ear and lowered her voice. “It doesn’t matter even if you’re with the princess. I don’t mind sharing. Why don’t you think about it?”
Watson did not answer her. He just smiled bitterly.
“Watson, thank you so much! Not only did you save my daughter, but you also healed Owen. The sea folks owe you a huge favor.”
Poseidon walked toward Watson and grabbed his hand gratefully. Her fishtail moved very fast because of her excitement.
“It’s okay. It’s just a piece of cake.”
“Even though the sea tribe has survived this time, if the humans from the floating city continue to poison the sea, we will not be able to resist eventually. Furthermore, the floating city is guarded by platinum-tier powerhouses. It’s not rational to fight them head-on. “Are we really going to move to the depths of the sea?”
Poseidon looked troubled. As a sea tribe that relied on the sea to live, there was a reason their ancestors built the Altantis at the sea entrance. Humans were better at using tools compared to the sea tribes. They had a greater variety of goods and crafts that were located near the land. They had free access to the land and could come and go as they pleased to exchange products.
However, the humans’ widespread hunting of sea folks had resulted in a decline in trade with them. The sea tribes, on the other hand, continued to have access to human items. An ill.u.s.tration of that would be Alice’s priceless fairy tale book.
If they wanted to retreat into the depths of the sea, although it was safe, it would also cut off the possibility of communication with the outside world.
“Or should we hand over those slaves? I heard that the reason those people attacked us was that these slaves are in our hands.”
All of a sudden, one of the underlings behind Jenna weakly interjected. As soon as her voice fell, the atmosphere instantly changed. Some of the sea folks looked at Watson with sparkling eyes. They felt that the humans were to blame for their predicament, but they did not dare to target Watson because he had healed Owen.
Plus, if those slaves were to leave, then the twelve golden palaces would be theirs.
“We can’t do that. Watson gave us these slaves. He is our benefactor. How can we do that to him?” Unexpectedly, the first person to stand up for Watson was Owen. He said, “Furthermore, the slaves were just an excuse for these humans. They are asking for slaves now. When we hand over the slaves, they might ask for treasures again. The greed of humans will never disappear. Therefore, we have to nip this in the bud. For example—”
“Destroy the floating city.”
