Chapter 93 The Condition of Physical Damage
The entire shipwrecked cabin was instantly engulfed by a chaotic mix of dark purple and silver-white energy light.
The intense spatial disturbances churned the seawater into turbulent currents. The elite undead wielding swords and staffs, as well as the ordinary guards, had their soul flames extinguished and their armor reduced to dust in the face of this devastating energy storm and spatial tearing!
Just before the energy storm hit his body, the silvery-white teleportation light finally completely enveloped Rolin.
Whoosh!
The figure disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, at the bottom of the observation station, in the core control room where the wizard Horn was located.
With a flash of silver light, Luo Lin's figure appeared, staggering before collapsing to the ground. His protective shield shattered completely, his robes were charred and torn in many places, and strange dark purple burn marks remained on his skin. His breath was extremely weak, and he fell into a deep coma.
Wizard Horn was startled by the sudden teleportation and the terrible state of Rowling.
But he immediately realized what was happening, quickly stopped the starlight focusing array that was about to be activated, and rushed to Luo Lin's side.
After checking on Rolin's condition, his vital signs were still present, but his mana was almost depleted, his mental energy was severely overdrawn, and his soul seemed to have been slightly contaminated by the corrupting source of power.
What's more troublesome is that there are signs that the body tissues are being eroded by that otherworldly energy.
Horn frowned and immediately took out several top-quality purification potions, life-restoring potions, and soul-stabilizing incense from his dimensional bag. Using his own pure magic power as a guide, he helped Rolin take and absorb them, while at the same time beginning to dispel the residual alien energy in his body.
"What exactly did that kid do down there?"
Looking at the unconscious Rolin, and sensing the brief but intense energy disturbances emanating from the direction of Shattered Star Bay that he could vaguely perceive even here, followed by the rapidly subsiding pollution fluctuations, Horn was filled with shock and doubt.
It seems the gap has been fixed, but the process was absolutely thrilling.
While Horn was doing his best to save Rowling, he didn't notice that Rowling's left hand was still unconsciously clenched in his fist.
Between his fingers, a faint, almost imperceptible, dark purple crystal shard slowly seeped into his charred skin, interacting subtly and slowly with the residual corrupting energy within his body and the soul characteristics of the [Myriad Stars]'s mutation-inducing force.
The return of consciousness was like traversing a thick swamp.
First, I sensed a chaotic mix of darkness and excruciating pain. Then, a cool and peaceful energy flow began to slowly circulate within my body, dispelling the omnipresent chill and tearing sensation.
Gradually, my hearing returned, and I could hear my own heavy and labored breathing, as well as the steady and rhythmic hum of the energy device coming from not far away.
His eyelids trembled heavily a few times before he finally managed to open them a crack.
The blurry vision gradually cleared, revealing a dark stone ceiling and embedded lighting crystals that emitted a steady white light.
The air was filled with the strong fragrance of herbs and the faint, steady magical energy fluctuations of a powerful wizard.
This is the core control room of the observation station.
Memories flooded back like a tide: shipwrecks, energy rifts, condensation nuclei explosions, teleportation—the final impression was an overwhelming dark purple light and a soul-rending pain.
"woke up?"
A steady, slightly hoarse voice sounded from the side.
Rowling turned his head with difficulty and saw Wizard Horn standing in front of a workbench not far away, with his back to them, seemingly dealing with something.
His back looked somewhat tired, but he remained upright.
He tried to speak, but his throat was so dry it felt like sandpaper was being rubbed, and he could only manage a few muffled breaths.
Horn turned around and walked over, holding a crystal glass filled with a pale golden liquid.
"Don't move. You're badly injured. Your soul and body have been contaminated by that energy."
"Drink this first to replenish your vitality and stabilize your mind."
She carefully helped Roland up a little and brought the crystal glass to his lips.
"The warm liquid flowed into my throat, carrying a strange sweetness and vibrant vitality, quickly nourishing my parched meridians and damaged internal organs."
"At the same time, a cool sensation rushed into my mind, soothing my still-aching soul."
Luo Lin drank several sips and felt better; at least he could make a sound.
"Lord Horn—sew—"
"The energy fluctuations in the gaps have largely subsided, and the activity of the pollution source has significantly decreased, so it will no longer pose a threat, at least in the short term."
"You were unconscious for two whole days." Horn put the cup aside and looked at Rowling with a complicated expression.
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to do this, and I certainly didn't expect you to come back alive."
"I could clearly sense the final energy surge and spatial disruption even from here."
"You detonated the condensation nucleus?"
Luo Lin nodded, feeling pain coursing through his entire body with every movement.
"Yes—there was no other choice at the time."
"They guard it too closely."
Horn was silent for a moment, as if assessing something, before slowly saying, "Regardless of the process, the result is good."
"You completed the task, and you exceeded expectations."
"I have reported the situation, including my speculations and your contributions."
"You'll receive both credit for your expertise in handling special threats and my recommendations."
"In addition, with the crisis at the observatory temporarily resolved, I can now devote my energy to more thorough follow-up work."
"You deserve immense credit."
"It's what I should do."
Luo Lin's voice was still hoarse, but much clearer.
"Rest well. I have already done some initial suppression and purification of the foreign energy invading your body."
"But that corrupting force is very stubborn. It takes time to completely eradicate it, and it also requires some specific purification methods or—the growth of your own power—to slowly wear it down."
Horn pointed to a makeshift bed that had been set up nearby.
"You'll stay here and recover for the next few days."
"I will send you medicine and food regularly."
"We'll talk in detail once you can get out of bed."
After Horn finished speaking, he turned around and went back to his worktable to continue dealing with his business, but he clearly kept some of his attention on Rowling.
Rowling lay down again, closed his eyes, but did not rest immediately.
He needs to understand his physical condition as soon as possible.
Consciousness sinks into the sea of the mind.
The first thing to be checked was the Venus core. The core, which had been rotating steadily and emitting a clear glow, was now slightly dimmer and its rotation speed had slowed down, clearly indicating that it had been significantly damaged in the previous consumption and impact.
However, its core structure remains intact and it is slowly absorbing the free-floating stellar energy in the air to repair itself.
His total mental energy has shrunk dramatically, to about 30% of its peak strength, and its texture is somewhat superficial, with a sluggish feeling of being polluted.
When practicing the Star Origin Meditation Method, one can feel wisps of cold and chaotic foreign matter mixed in with one's spiritual power, which require several times the effort to remove and purify.
The situation with mana was even worse; it was almost completely depleted.
He suffered damage in many parts of his body, especially during the final forced outburst and guided teleportation, which caused the most intense impact. He felt a dull pain inside his body, and his magical energy flow was not smooth.
These were all expected, and are the inevitable result of excessive consumption and energy surges.
With the help of medication and meditation, he should be able to recover in time.
Next, Luo Lin turned his attention to the most crucial part, [Myriad Stars].
