Chapter 80: A Good News And A Bad News

80- A Good News And A Bad News

After Armelia finished the flashback, she then said.

So, we brought you here and you have been unconsciousness for 2 whole months. We tried curing you, but due to the poison the healing process is extremely slow.

But I have a good news for you. My mother told me that your poison can be cured.

Said Armelia with a broad smile.

Hearing this, my whole body trembled with shock. And just as I was doubting if this was a dream, the pain which came told me that it was not a dream. But nonetheless, I asked,

Are you speaking the truth?

Seeing my excitement, Armelia replied happily

Yes, I am telling the truth. Heehee...

Hearing this I could not control my happiness and I wanted to hug Armelia, but just as I moved an extreme pain brought back me reality.

Seeing this, Armelia hastily said,

Orochi, dont move. You have to focus on recovering. My mother told me that she will help you in removing this poison after you are cured.

Hearing this, I calmed down my emotions and replied,

Yes, thank you Armelia for the good news. I dont know how to thank you. If it was not for you, then I would have died and gone insane searching for a cure. You have solved all of my worries.

Hehehe, you can thank me after you are cured. Now take a proper rest and I will bring you some medicine.

With that Armelia turned around and happily trotted out of the room.

Seeing, the back of Armelia who was going out of room, I felt that all my actions were worth it. Including breaking my bones and all the trouble I faced.

As nothing made me more restless when compared to solving the poison issue.

But there is one thing I regret, that is not being able to kill the burly guy and his subordinate Rob, with my own hands.

I can still remember the sound of bones being broken.

I can still feel the pain.

I can still remember the agony and despair that I had to go through.

I can still remember how it feels when your throat runs dry due to screaming.

I can still remember the taste of blood in my mouth and how it feels when you bleed through your nose, eyes, ears.

Hence, I wanted to make them (the burly guy and Rob) feel the same experiences that I had to go through. And in case they did experience the same thing, I will just increase that pain by multiple times. But unfortunately, they are dead. And now I understood the meaning of Death is the best escape from worldly sufferings.

===============

(Authors note I am not promoting any kind of suicidal thoughts or anything related to it. It is just what I have seen the movies and nothing else. And to be honest the above sentence has both positive and negative kinds of meanings. So, please do not take this as me promoting suicidal thoughts. I would be glad if everyone would cherish life.)

===============

Although, I felt great despair when I found that my friends and my fiance betrayed me and crippled my cultivation. Also, I felt huge frustration when abandoned by the family.

But both the experiences gave me deep marks on my body and soul.

And I dont think that it will easily heal. But I thought that if I could kill the burly and his subordinate Rob, by my own hands then at least it will give me a sense of freedom from all the hellish pain that is still in my memories.

But luckily, the burly guy has a father. If his father is just like him, then I dont mind letting him experience the same thing. Because if his father knows that I was involved in his sons death then surely, he will try to kill me. Hence, I can do the same thing to his father.

I wonder if Rob had any blood relative? If there are any, then I hope they are just like him evil, cruel, merciless. Because then I won't have mental barriers which will make me hesitate.

Because it will take me some time to make my heart cold as ice, so that my - emotions, good or evil things, justice or injustice things - will not cloud my judgement or actions.

For example, I decided to help Armelia and I chose not to abandon her when we were being chased. That is all because of my emotions which made me hesitate.

Of course, helping Armelia eventually resulted in solving the biggest problem that I was facing (Poison issue). But I dont think that helping everyone will be the result in good forever.

Hence making my heart strong is necessary, or else I will be doing unnecessary actions.

Suddenly, I remembered that my HP will decrease by 1 per minute and I had been unconscious for 2 whole months. And I dont know how much HP, I might have left.
