East Meet West

82- Meeting Armelia's mother 2

After Armelia exited the room, I calmed down and then got back to the ‘Inventory’ window.

As the ‘Consume’ function was switched on, the ‘Inventory’ had a small change.

That is – On the item slots which belonged to items that were consumable like HP and MP potions, had a new small button labelled as ‘Consume’ available.

So, I clicked the button and consumed a (level 2) HP potion. (You know the mentally stuff, right? Like they can perform certain actions mentally without any physical action. I am telling you people this because you might comment – How did he click when his bones are broken and he is unable to move?)

And as the number of (level 2) HP potions decreased by 1, I felt a mildly sweet liquid in mouth, flowing through my throat to my stomach. And after a moment, the system notification rang,

‘ding’

‘+500 HP’

And at the same time, I felt like my body was thirsty human and it received chill water to quench his thirst. (Author’s sarcasm – You sure bro? I think it's more like a drug addict, who got his stuff after 1 month.)

And the broken bones, damaged muscles and tissues gave a small stinging pain. But I felt the changes, but it's hard to describe those.

To confirm this, I once again clicked on the consume button and this time I used 2 (level 2) HP potions and once again, I felt the changes in my body.

This confirms that I can heal completely in a few seconds. Then I can meet Armelia’s mother and proceed with curing the poison present within me.

So, I kept on using HP potions, until my HP bar was full. And during this, I constantly felt some stinging pain, it might be because all the broken bones need to align properly and that is the cause of pain.

From this, I learned a valuable experience that is no matter how badly I am hurt, I can heal myself by just consuming HP potions.

After I filled my HP bar, I tried moving but I was unable to move. Then after looking closely, I found that my legs and hands were covered with some kind of hardened clay.

It must be like those plasters used in hospitals while treating fractures, that I have seen in my previous life.

So, I tried using strength but due to inactivity for the past 2 months, I felt my muscles numb and there was hardly any movement.

But after trying for some time and using all my strength, the hardened clay was cracking little by little.

Seeing this, I continued and after a minute the whole clay on my right hand was broken. I shook my hand all the clay fell off my hand.

I clenched my fist and tried some movement exercises, as my whole arm was numb due to inactivity for the last two months.

(Author’s note: I don’t know if you people know this or not, but if person got his hand fractured and then his hand is covered with plaster of Paris, to maintain the arm’s integrity. So, after 1-2 months, when the plaster is removed, they will not be able to move their hand or there will be a situation where the person’s arm will be stuck in ‘L’ shape and there will be low movement and flexibility. So, performing some exercises can get rid of that.)

After I felt that my hand was back to normal condition, I clenched my fists and punched the clay that was covering my left hand. And soon, my left hands were freed. After that, I freed my legs.

When I removed all the hardened clay, I felt that my whole body was freed from a heavy burden.

And when I tried standing on my legs,

‘bang’

I lost balance and fell on the ground.

Using my hands and with the support of bed, I lifted myself and stood on my feet. It took some time for me to adjust my balance and to prevent from falling again, I was holding onto the bed the whole time.

After few minutes, I was able to balance myself and then I tried walking around. After few minutes, I was able to walk, jump and do all kinds of things that a normal human could do.

The clothes I was wearing were little torn and dusty, so I changed into new clothes that were stored in the ‘Storage box’.

Since, I got recovered, I decided to meet Armelia’s mother and get my poison cured soon, because I already lost 12 HP due to the poison effect, while I was stretching.

So, I decided to find Armela and I walked out of the room.

As I walked out of the room, the sun’s bright rays which was falling on my face made my cover my eyes. And it took some time for my eyes to adjust to the light. This is what you call light adaptation huh?

After my vision adjusted to normal, I was greeted with a small garden and beautiful flowers growing in it. And outside the garden, I saw huge trees which reached height more than 100 meters.

This sight was so beautiful and refreshing.

Although, my old room in the Leon clan, was also good but the current view is like – spending my holiday with nature.

“Ahhh...Orochi what are you doing?”

While I was appreciating the view, Armelia who just arrived was stunned seeing me.

She quickly came to me and looked at me worriedly & curiously. Seeing her reaction, I knew what she was thinking, so I told her,

“Armelia don’t worry, I am completely fine. Let's go and meet your mother.”

“But...but I just left for 15 minutes and you were in such a bad condition, but now you are completely healed. How is that even possible?”

Now, this is troublesome. Because I don’t think she will understand if I told her that - I drank HP potion and all my bones were fixed.

And even if I did, she will not buy that reason because only I am able to utilize the HP potions and no one else could use it. As I have already experimented with Armelia.

“Umm...actually I had stored a special healing pill for backup if I ever faced a situation like this and I used it.”

I used a lame reason and it looks like Armelia almost believed it.

{Sigh, how can she be so naïve?}

I sighed inwardly.
